VISION 6.2
==========
.Added compression option (using LHA)
.Cosmetics to VIS_CRE and VIS_UPD
.16 titles instead of 15 in Main Menu
.Fixed a bug using VISION.DIR option and SORT=BYNAME
While VISION 6.2 is totally compatible with DB done with previous releases,
you can benefit of compression feature, converting all old .DB to new and
compressed .DBC in the following way:
1) Set COMPRESSION=ON in VISION.CFG file.
2) Execute VISION
3) Move the bar up to data base name to covert
4) Press Alt-U keys to generate original ASCII .UPD file, then confirm
5) Press Alt-B keys to recreate the data base, now in compressed format
6) Give its name without any extension (the same name of point 3)
7) Write new data base comment line (if you wish the same as before)
8) Now, after compression, you have to see a "c" on the right of the filesize
number which must be much less than before
VISION 6.1
==========
Each VISION Textual Data Base has now any text line length. Just only
the Keyword Window has the 78 characters maximum per line limit.
Added TAB (to scroll text left), Shift-TAB (to scroll text right) and
Shift-Home to reposition text at column 1.
So that now you can translate any ASCII text into a VISION free format
data base, without taking care of the 78 limit.
*** ALL EXISTING VISION DATA BASES ARE FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH VISION 6.0 **
It's not true the viceversa. If you build a new VISION v 6.0 Data Base,
you aren't no more able to read it with previous VISION versions.
To replace old VISION versions, simply copy into VISION directory
all VISION61.ZIP files. (If you have changed VISION.CFG or VISION.MSG
or VIS_OVL.MSG message files, make a back-up copy of them, then replace
all VISION files, finally modify the new files with back-uped ones).
***********************************************************************
If you find some problems in older VISION Data Bases, :
- execute VISION
- highlight the Data Base name you want to recompile
- press Alt-U keys and confirm
- then (once conversion finishs) press Alt-B keys and give its name
(without extension)
In this way you can get a new compiled version of an old Data Base
