- V E R S I O N 2 . 0
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- -> JADU is now DESQview compatible
-
- -> the attributes display has been changed to show the attribute
- letter if it is set, otherwise a dot is displayed. This makes it
- a lot easier to see set attributes on most laptops.
-
- -> Added <U>nsorted option to sort menu
-
- -> Added <M>ove option to archive menu (that is, you can now move
- files into an archive - no more Arc Add, then Delete)
-
- -> Fixed a bug that caused odd directories to be created
-
- -> Fixed a bug that caused the screen to fall apart on older PC's
- and PC's using an AMI BIOS.
-
- -> Added command line switches:
-
- /M forces monochrome.
-
- /B Forces JADU to use BIOS reads/writes.
-
- /L## Sets the screen size to ## lines long. Default is 25 lines.
- Valid numbers are 10-25, plus 43 on EGA screens and 50 on
- VGA screens.
-
- -> The configuration file has a completely new format (binary).
-
- -> JADU is now more configurable. Among the new options are:
-
- - much more color control.
-
- - the ability to use BIOS read/writes
-
- - TAG ACTIVE by default. Normally you tell JADU to perform a
- command on a group of tagged files by pressing 'T'
- beforehand (or using the ALT key). With this option the
- extra keystroke is unnecessary. If you tag files and press
- a command JADU will perform it on the tagged files by
- default. If you are using this option the 'T' and ALT keys
- have the reverse effect - they turn *off* "TAG ACTIVE" for
- the next keystroke. THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL OPTION. USE IT
- WITH CARE.
-
- - specification of start side. You can tell JADU to begin on
- the left side (directory tree).
-
- - Quit banner on/off. You can now disable the "<<< You are
- currently in... >>>" display after you <Q>uit. This is for
- folks that have their DOS prompt set up to display this
- information already.
-
- - pause after DOS commands can be turned on/off
-
- -> The install program has been completely rewritten. It has also
- been renamed to JADUINST.EXE. (If you are upgrading from a
- previous version remember to delete the old JINSTALL.EXE to avoid
- confusion.)
-
- -> Added the <Tab> key as a speedy way to switch drives. Press
- <Tab> then the letter of the drive you want to go to.
-
- -> The <C>opy command now checks to see if there's enough room on
- the destination drive prior to the copy. If there isn't you are
- informed and given the chance to abort or continue (in case you
- know you will be over-writing files). If the destination is a
- floppy you are also given the option of formatting a new disk.
-
- -> Added <F8> as the format key. The utility you want to use to
- format disks is specified using the install program.
-
- -> You can now specify a command 'tail' for your utilities. This
- comes in handy for those utilities that require command lines
- switches be placed after the target files.
-
- -> You can now specify a destination directory with the mouse for
- copy, move, and archive extract.
-
- -> The JADUREG variable is no longer necessary to disable the beg
- screen (if you're a registered user, of course)
-
- -> You can now break out of operations on tagged files. Simply
- press the <Esc> key and JADU will ask if you want to abort.
- Please note that this will only work when JADU has control, so
- if you try to abort while using a utility that accepts multiple
- files you may have to wait a bit.
-
- -> JADU now will prompt for a new mask if the 500 file limit is hit.
