DIFFERENCES BETWEEN REL. 2.00 AND 2.10
Release 2.10 is essentially a maintenance release. The following
changes have been made:
1. Compilation for Dos Protected Mode operation is now possi-
ble, including compilation of the test suite. See the .MAK
file.
2. Compiler selection has been extended to include TP7 and
BP7. See the .MAK file.
3. The .MAK file now includes an option to include/exclude
compilation of the test suite.
4. In this and earlier releases, the numeric type EXTENDED
was redefined to REAL if the directive Gen87 was disabled
in the ShDefine.INC file. However, now a generic real type
FLOAT is defined which can be used, as implemented by the
following directives in the appropriate source files:
type
{$IFNDEF Gen87}
extended = real;
Float = real;
{$ELSE}
Float = extended;
{$ENDIF}
This dual definition is to provide a transition prior to
the next major release, currently scheduled for late
summer of 1994. At that time, the redefinition of type
EXTENDED will be removed.
5. A minor bug in ShCmdLin has been repaired. This bug caused
the first two switches to be improperly parsed if the
first switch had no associated explicit value.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN REL. 1-A AND REL. 2
1. A new unit, ShFinanc.PAS, has been added to permit various
financial calculations.
2. All of the tests have been brought together under a single
menu-driven umbrella.
3. Error processing have been rewritten to provide greatly
improved error control.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN REL. 1 AND REL. 1-A
1. Minor bug repair in TESTCMDL.PAS. The output buffer was
not being flushed when console output was redirected.

or as indicated in the documentation.
