News, Changes, Fixes...
-----------------------
1.10 - 02 Sep 1994
------------------
- WCD did only work with 4OS/2. This is fixed.
- /Scan without a drivelist to be scanned did not scan anything.
This is fixed.
- WCD did not work when the program itself was in a directory that did
not match the 8:3 convention. This is fixed.
- WCD now accepts the paramter "...", "...." and so on.
Each additional dot stands for one additional directory to go up.
- WCD now is checking if the parameter-directory is a direct path, e.g.
a subdirectory of the current directory. If this is true, WCD changes
directly into that directory.
1.20 - 07 Sep 1994
------------------
- added support for LCD's databases.
If the WCD.DB is not present, WCD is looking for LCD's LCD.IDX.
1.29ß - 10 Sep 1994
-------------------
- added the parameter MD, RD and REN and automatic database update.
WCD md directory_name will create a directory and update the database
WCD rd directory_name will delete a directory and update the database
WCD ren oldname newname will rename directory a directory and update
the database
- added a DOS version (included as WCDDOS.EXE).
- WCD is also 'ALIAS-aware'. Read WCD.DOC for more information.
1.30 - 16 Sep 1994
------------------
- RD did not remove a directory from the database if it was a subdirectory
of the root directory. This is fixed.
- The OS/2 version produced an error when trying to scan a CDROM drive with
no CDROM inside. This is fixed.
- The DOS version did not Scan a CD-ROM drive at all in an OS/2 Warp Beta II
DOS task. I don't know if it worked with a different OS/2 version. It worked
under MS-DOS 6.2. Strange.... Anyhow, this is fixed.
- Added environment switch "WCD".
If you want WCD to list only directories which begin with your parameter
and not all directories that contain the string somewhere in the name, use
the environment switch "SET WCD=/B".
- If you don't want WCD to scan CD-ROM drives by default, use "SET WCD=/C".
Then WCD will not scan a CD-ROM drive with "WCD /Scan". You have to give
the drive letter, e.g. "WCD /Scan cdfg" to make WCD scan a CD-ROM drive
when this switch is set.
Of course you can use both switches (SET WCD=/B/C).
Important: Use uppercase letters!
The /C switch is only working with the OS/2 version. Right now I don't
know how to detect a CD-ROM drive under DOS. If somebody could supply me
with some information on that, I'd be happy.
1.40 - 25 Sep 1994
------------------
- removed support for LCD database. There's no need to do that any longer.
- added parameter /Update <drivelist>. Pls see WCD.DOC for more information.
- added /QScan and /QUpdate. Pls see WCD.DOC for more information.
- added parameter /Sort to sort database.
- added WCDDIR environment variable.
Use "set WCDDIR=xxxxxx" if you want to place the WCD.DB database in another
directory. E.g. "set WCDDIR=C:\OS2\SYSTEM". You must define the complete
path with a drive, but do not add the filename!
- removed the "Wolfgang's Change Directory..." message for most operations.
- added speed search to the popup window.
- WCDMAIN.EXE no longer need to be in a PATH directory if you're using aliases
to launch WCD.
- better recover of disk errors (e.g. CD-ROM drive not ready).
- problem with spaces in directory names fixed.
1.50 - 19 Oct 1994
------------------
- Added environment switch "/A".
If WCD finds more than one directory that matches exact to your search
string WCD will only list these exact matching directories by default.
If you want WCD to list all directories that contain the search string
in their name, use the environment switch "SET WCD=/A".
- WCD (OS/2 version) crashed on large databases. This is fixed.
- The window now fits the number of subdirectories if less than one
full window.
- Added environment switch "WCDCOL".
If you don't like the default window colors you can change them with
this environment variable. E.g. "SET WCDCOL=15,1". You must use this
format, 2 numbers devided by a comma. The first number is the foreground
color, the second is the background color. Foreground colors are accepted
from 0 to 15, background colors from 0 to 7.
1.60 - 29 Oct 1994
------------------
- Added WCD environment switch "/S[0..2]" ("SET WCD=/S[0..2]")
This option will change WCD's behaviour when no directories are found
that match the original searchstring:
0: (/S0) do not shrink searchstring, abort (default).
1: (/S1) shrink searchstring and try again.
2: (/S2) shrink searchstring and try again. Always open window, even
if only one directory matches the shrunk searchstring.
"/S" (without a number) is equal to "/S1".
- Added WCD environment switch "/D".
Search for a directory only on the current drive.
- Added WCD environment switch "/E".
Show popup window if exactly one directory name is found in the WCD
database with the exact name.
- All switches can also be used as a command line option now and will
override the environment settings.
- Re-written the manual. I hope it's much better and easier to read now.
- And no, a simple email is NOT enough to register this program (do you
really think I'd make it that easy for you?).
1.61 - 05 Nov 1994
------------------
- fixed a bug with /Sort
Just to remind you again: This program is NOT free!
