- 7PLUS History:
- ==============
-
- :
- :
- :
-
- v1.4:
- -----
- Finally 7PLUS runs on AMIGA as well (correcting wouldn't work).
- Compatibility to systems with filename structures different to
- MS_DOS/ATARI added.
- -J, -P and -T option added.
-
- Several minor bug-fixes.
-
- v1.41/1.43:
- -----------
- Bug in -J option fixed.
- When prompted for new filename, ENTER would not break. Fixed.
-
- v1.5:
- -----
- Compatibility to UNIX-based systems.
- When decoding and a COR-file is already present, 7PLUS will do
- the correction first.
- -J option can now do multiple joining.
- -X can now extract selected files.
- -N option added (Atari_St only).
- -Y option added for automated surroundings.
- -# option for use of 7PLUS in BBS file servers.
- Minichecksum added to headers.
- Checksum added to ERR- and COR-files.
- Length of original file added to ERR- and COR-files to insure, only
- the correct original file is used for compiling COR-Files.
- Manuals given a good workover. Detailed chapters about up- and down-
- loading added to help newcomers.
-
- Changes in headers a/s/o are still compatible with older versions
- and vice versa.
-
- Bugs fixed, that were present since v1.0, but never detected:
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1st bug:
- --------
- When encoding a file using the -S option, 7PLUS would fail when
- the encoded file was shorter then the number of lines specified.
-
- Example:
- TEST.TXT is 1024 bytes long which will result in 17 code
- lines. If encoded with '-S 40', 7PLUS wouldn't decode it,
- because it found lines 18 through 40 missing...
-
- 2nd bug:
- --------
- When splitting a file whose length can be devided through 62 without
- a rest, 7PLUS would leave the last part empty, when the number of re-
- sulting lines could be devided evenly through the number of parts.
-
- Example:
- TEST.TXT is 3100 bytes long. If encoded into 2 equal parts
- using '-SP 2', 7plus would leave the second part empty,
- containing only the header and the foot line.
-
-
- These bugs manifested themselves only in rare cases, but versions
- prior to v1.5 should be replaced by the v1.5 anyway.
