ADDITIONS, MODIFICATIONS, AND CHANGES
=====================================
1) Release 1.0 of Doc-Proc had a bug in the News screen logic.
When using the News function to view the News, the screen
appeared to lock up. This was unintentional. The screen
really did not lock up but was not refreshed with the Menu2
panels.
2) A number of Networks, it was discovered, did not maintain a copy
of COMMAND.COM in their root directory. This was necessary in
order for Doc-Proc to route documents to Network printers. For
those that do not maintain a copy of COMMAND.COM in the root
directory, you may use the token command COMMAND.COM to direct
Doc-Proc to a directory where it can find a copy of COMMAND.COM.
3) Relative address processing was implemented so that documents
viewed at the terminal can be viewed paging forward as well as
viewed paging backward.
This is a convenience that allows the user to re-read a previously
viewed page of a document without having to view the complete
document all over again.
4) Any scratch files used by Doc-Proc will utilize the default disk
drive (I.E. that disk drive from which Doc-Proc was invoked). If
you wish to force Doc-Proc scratch files to a particular drive, use
the token command SCRATCH-DRIVE to designate the drive to be used
for Doc-Proc scratch files. Any Doc-Proc scratch files created
by Doc-Proc will be erased upon terminating Doc-Proc.
5) New logic was added to Doc-Proc to check Printer port connections.
An appropriate error message is displayed if the printer is not
connected to the appropriate Communication line (I.E. COMM port1
or COMM port2). An appropriate error message is displayed if the
printer is not turned on or if the printer is out of paper. Doc-Proc
does not terminate when one of these errors occurs but allows the
user to make necessary adjustments before continuing.
6) Doc-Proc has now been enhanced to process not only DOS text files
but also print files generated for specific printers.
The print files may be generated by any word processor or program.
Printer and Destination controls are maintained using Doc-Proc token
commands. Doc-Proc was further enhanced to allow printer files
generated for specific printers to be housed in separate file
directories.
7) Simple generic DOS print files may be viewed on your terminal
without Doc-Proc page numbering and paginating the document.
This is accomplished by suffixing the name of your document,
specified on the MENU2 token command, with the extension '.PRN'.
Remember, this document must not make use of any special printer
fonts and the document must reside on disk with the designated
extension.
