Searchlight Programmer's Library -- Version Log
Version 3.5, September, 1993
----------------------------
New release corresponding to Searchlight 3.5. Includes support for file
attachments, extended file descriptions, and RIP styles. See WHATS.NEW file
for more information.
Version 3.0, March, 1993
------------------------
New release corresponding to Searchlight 3.0; contains changes to data formats
for Searchlight 3.0 data structure changes.
For more information, please see the file WHATS.NEW.
Version 2.25, July, 1992
------------------------
This version is updated to include changes in the file definitions for
Searchlight 2.25. In particular the new fields added to the CONFIG and
USER records are now reflected in FILEDEF.TPU and FILEDEF.REF.
The MULTI unit now recognizes Windows and OS/2 as multitasking environments,
and will perform appropriate task switching when the 'Slice' function is
used. 'OSType' has been changed to include the additional OS types.
A number of internal code optimizations has been incorporated into the
units to make them faster. In particular, retrieving a message from a
subboard where text compression is used is now over 50% faster than with
the previous version.
A number of new files is included with this release:
MENUDEF.PAS - This file contains record types and procedures for
accessing the menu (MNU) files used with Searchlight 2.25. Please
read the code and comments in the source file for more information.
MODEM.PAS/MODEM.DOC - These files contain an interface to Searchlight's
modem drivers that can be used to access the modem directly from a
door program. (This is the same interface that was released earlier
this year as SLMODEM.ZIP). TEST.PAS is included to test these functions.
BACKTRAK.PAS/BACKTRAK.DOC - These files form a simple application that
pops a menu off the internal menu stack. More importantly, the source
file provides data types for the internal menu stack that is active
during door execution, which can be used by door programs to modify
what happens when they return to Searchlight.
Version 2.15A, July 25, 1991
----------------------------
The USERS unit no longer uses the CRT unit. This was causing problems for
people who use customized CRT units.
The variable 'SubListSize' in SUBLIST.TPU was not correctly initialized in
the previous version. This has been fixed.
A new variable called 'RecNum' has been added to the SubListType record in
SUBLIST.TPU. 'RecNum' contains the record number from the SUBBOARD.SL2 or
FILEDIR.SL2 file from which the data was retrieved. This information can be
used as a unique numerical identifier for the subboard; it should NOT be
used to update or access the SL2 file. Be aware that while the record
number of a subboard or file directory will not change while that item
exists, deletion of the item will result in the next item created reusing
that record number.
The TREE.TPU unit contained an undocumented function, TreeSize, which is now
documented; see SLTPU.REF for more information.
Version 2.15, July 11, 1991
---------------------------
Initial release. Versions available for Turbo Pascal 6.0, 5.5, and 5.0.
