Revision History
----------------
V2.01 - Oops, very small bug-fix, when entering a filename, no wildcards
were accepted, they are now accepted correctly.
V2.0 - 17-May-1993, Official Release, non-beta!
- I can now also be reached on Compuserve, my ID is 100117,3242.
V2.0ßM - Never released, pre-release version.
- Finished all functions for release version.
- Added /M parameter to startup in mono-mode (B/W).
- All integers are now handled as unsigned integers.
- Fixed text-bug when asking for default costs (asked for minimum age)
- Added more info in area-selector.
- When asked for input the first charachter replaces the default input.
- Fixed bug when asked for input, the cursor could be placed beyond
the end of the input.
- Added Flag-editing in area-editor (at last).
- The import function now also imports the decription when it's spread
over more then one line, also the plus (+) lines of some file-list
packages are supported.
- Added extended checking on inputs, now filenames, paths and numbers
are checked for correct input.
- Fixed bug, RAFT didn't correctly detect any return-codes after
executing an external utility or after an dos-shell, now it does.
- Changed some colours for more uniform appearance.
- Fixed small bug in swapper when allocating XMS.
- Optimized reading of filebase (a litlle bit).
- Updated manual.
V2.0ßL - Changed some colors.
- Added AVIEW support, AVIEW is an archive-manipulating utility and
is now used by RAFT for viewing archives.
- Added an archive-viewing option, press ALT-V to activate.
- After executing external utilitys, RAFT wouldn't check return-codes,
now it does.
- RAFT didn't swap itself out of memory before executing an external
utility, now it does.
- When swapping RAFT would try first XMS, then EMS and as last a
disk-file, now RAFT first trys EMS, then XMS and then a disk-file.
- Fixed small startup-screen bug.
V2.0ßK - Optimized variable use, less memory usage.
- RAFT selects now the correct video-mode instead of the video-mode
entered in RACONFIG.
- In both the area-selector and the file-area editor you can now
press ALT-J for a DOS-Shell.
- When ENTER was pressed on an unused area a ugly message was
displayed, now RAFT says that the area is not in use and asks if
you want to activate (create) the area.
- Added insert (create) area option in area-selector, with F7 or
INS you can now insert a new area.
- Added add (create) area option in area-selector, with F2 you can
now add a new area at the end of the list.
- Added move area option in area-selector, with F6 you can move an
area to another area-entry (number).
- Added change area option in area-selector, with F3 you can edit all
the parameters of an area.
- Optimized some memory usage and overlayed some routines.
- Some cosmetic changes.
V2.0ßJ - Well this is a minor bug-fix, didn't had much time to develop
the unimplemented features yet, but squased some bugs instead.
- Fixed a bug in the full-screen-editor, when a description was
imported with ALT-D (Auto describe), and it contained more then
18 lines, RAFT would abort with an error, this is fixed.
- When a new area was created with RACONFIG, RAFT said that it was
an unused area, now raft (when needed) creates the filebase files
when they not exist.
- All file-areas that are flagged with the CD-ROM Flag, are NOT
scanned for missing files anymore, when you forgot to insert a
disk for example, RAFT would flag all files in the area as missing,
this is fixed.
- RAFT works now correctly in multiline environments, a share problem
with some files, this is fixed.
- RAFT cleans up the memory and files more efficient now.
- Optimized some memory usage.
V2.0ßI - Added a parameter, with /N on the command-line you tell RAFT to
NOT check for any files when you enter an file-area, this can be
handy when you enter a huge area.
- Added a new function in the file-area editor, you can now import
a description from a DIZ file in an archive, press ALT-D to use
this function, you can enter de file-name of a DIZ file, default is
FILE_ID.DIZ, archives supported: .ARC, .ARJ, .LHA, .PAK and .ZIP,
read the doc-file for which external utilitys you need for this
function.
- Optimized the keyword/filename search routines, 8% speed increase.
- Fixed some memory allocation routines.
- Fixed some cosmetic bugs.
- Fixed some minor bugs.
- Updated the doc files.
V2.0ßH - Added wildcard file-find search to area-editor, press ALT-F.
- Added keyword search to area-editor, press ALT-K.
- When a new file was adopted within RAMGR or with RAFILE, or when
a new empty text-line was inserted in RAMGR then RAFT would
give an error 63 when the entry was read in by RAFT, this is fixed.
- Optimized lots of routines, compacter/faster code now.
- Optimized the missing-file-check routines, 25% speed increase.
- Fixed some minor bugs.
- Added some info at certain screens.
V2.0ßG - Maybe no-one noticed, but in the area-selector and file-editor you
can jump to an entry by simply typing the first few karakters,
fastkeys...
- Before copying/moving files the drive-space of the destination
drive is checked, when not enough room, the copy/move function will
be aborted.
- When copying/moving now the filename(s) are shown so you can see
which file RAFT is moving/copying.
- Added 'number of entry's' to the file-editor, in the upper-right
corner the number of entry's in the area is displayed.
- When asked for uploaders-name now the sysop-name is given as standard
instead of '<Unknown>'.
- Changed some colors.
- Some buffer/memory managment changed, RAFT consumes less memory now
and is slightly faster.
- When a text-line was longer then 79 chars, RAFT would abort with an
error 5, this is fixed.
- Sometimes the copy/move function would also copy/move untagged entrys,
this is fixed.
- Optimized some stuff and fixed some minor glitches.
V2.0ßF - Fixed EXPORT (ALT-X) bug, sometimes an error 5 would occurr, this
is fixed.
- On some areas (mainly new areas just created), RAFT would say that
the area wasn't in use when it was used, this is fixed.
- Added an import function to import a FILES.BBS like file, wildcards
are allowed when the filespecs of the import-file is given.
- Added a update function for updating the file-date/time/size in the
file database, ALT-U is the key.
- Added a touch function to touch the upload-date, ALT-T is the key.
- Updated the help-screens.
- When RAFT enters an area all files are checked if they exist or not,
when not the missing flag is automatically set.
- Fixed some cosmetic bugs.
- Fixed some minor other bugs.
- Optimized lots of routines, all file handling is faster now.
