- 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)
- .\ONSCREEN\os.doc Manual in Microsoft Word format
- .\ONSCREEN\os.man Manual in OnScreen/2 text format
