Welcome to Warp Factor 7's OnScreen/2 Release 2.11.
---------------------------------------------------
This README file contains important information about OnScreen/2.
New features
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Viewer
The hex mode viewer now has a search facility and a goto offset command. The
commands are accessed using the same commands as search and goto line in the
text mode viewer.
Bugs fixed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Viewer
A bug in the search routine where searching for a single character would cause
the search to loop endlessly has been fixed. Non-regular expression case-
insensitive searching is now as fast as case-sensitive searching.
The syntax highlighter now recognizes the longest matching keyword rather than
stopping at the nearest matching one.
File manager
The limit of 1000 files in the file manager in the OS/2 version has been
removed.
The file manager was using enormous amounts of memory in the DOS version, this
has now been fixed. Version 2.06 required approx 3 megabytes of RAM to load a
directory containing 3000 files, this has been reduced to about 300k in
version 2.11.
Platform Specifics
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IBM OS/2 2.x & Warp 3.0
OnScreen/2 is supported on OS/2 versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11 & Warp 3.0. If you
have installed the OS/2 .DLL based version and did not install the .DLL's to a
directory already specified on your LIBPATH you will need to edit your
config.sys file and add the directory you choose for the .DLL's to it.
Microsoft Windows NT & Windows95
OnScreen/2 is supported on Windows NT 3.5 and the Windows 95 final beta. If
you have installed the Win32 .DLL based version and did not install the .DLL's
to a directory already specified on your PATH you will need to add the
directory you choose for the .DLL's to it.
PC-DOS
OnScreen/2 is supported on DOS versions 5.0 to 6.22, it may work on older
versions of DOS but it has not been tested on any version prior to 5.0. If
you have installed the DOS version you will have to ensure that the directory
which OnScreen/2 was installed to is already on your path or is added to your
path.
This release of OnScreen/2 uses Borland's 32bit DOS extender. If you want to
run OnScreen/2 under an MS-Windows 3.1 or 3.11 DOS Box you will have to
install windmpi.386. To install windpmi.386 add the following line to the
[386Enh] section of your system.ini file
device=X:\DIR\windpmi.386
where X:\DIR is the drive and directory where OnScreen/2 was installed.
Sharing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please do give copies of OnScreen/2 to your friends, local BBS's etc. Please
ensure that you pass them the original OnScreen/2 zipfile intact. Please do
not pass on a copy of OnScreen/2 which has had your serial number bound to the
executable.
Distribution format
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As and from release 2.02, OnScreen/2 will no longer be distributed in one .zip
file, instead each supported operating system will have its own .zip file.
This means that when you unzip a particular OnScreen/2 zipfile you will not
get the entire directory structure as listed below, you will instead get the
files directly under the ONSCREEN directory and one of the OS2, DOS or WIN32
directories.
The file naming convention used will be as follows:-
Program Name Version Major_Minor Operating System Status
OS 2 _00 O = OS/2 A = Alpha
OS 2 _00 D = DOS B = Beta
OS 2 _00 W = Win32 G = Gamma
R = Release
As an example of this the OS/2 2.02 version will be distributed in a zipfile
called OS2_02OR.ZIP.
Directory structure
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OnScreen/2 will unpack into a directory named ONSCREEN in the current
directory, the install.exe will be in the current directory. The easiest way
to install OnScreen/2 is to unzip it to a floppy and then run a:\install.
Remember to use the -d switch with PKUNZIP to create the directory structure.
The directory structure is as follows
.\install.exe OS/2, DOS or Win32 install program
.\ONSCREEN\readme.txt Readme please! (this file)
