- What I've added as time goes on to ArchEdge:
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- Updates to version 0.06:
-
- - added the "Please Press Return...." after dos activity so error
- messages didn't vanish.
- - Changed all pathnames to RAM: to stop hassle with people with one
- drive and set two separate text sections...one with a pathname and
- one with a path and file...you'll see the difference.
- - Fixed a bug which occurred when no files were in the current
- directory which caused an 256 times loop if any dos operations were
- selected.
-
- Updates to version 0.07:
-
- - Added the title screen, and made ArchEdge wait for a pathname to
- be entered...to further help single drive people. (BUY ANOTHER
- DRIVE!!!)
- - Got the Proportional Gadget Going !!! YAY !!! I remembered !!!
-
- Updates to version 0.08:
-
- - Added ARC to the archiving list, and realized at this stage that
- ZIP was a full-fledged program, and since I can't see the use of it,
- the ArchEdge will only ever UNZIP archives, but not ZIP them. If you
- must use ZIP, then the program PKAZIP is more than adequate...in fact its
- pretty impressive.
- - Fixed a bug in earlier versions which had a problem with the change
- of pathnames I did in V0.06.
-
- Updates to version 0.10:
-
- - Added the device requesters and decided it was neat enough to be
- a version 0.10 !!!
-
- Updates to version 0.20:
-
- - A large routine added to archive a full disk using the fantastic
- LHWARP option. All options are there...it defaults to the best
- but you can do it anyway you like!!
-
- Updates to Version 0.21:
-
- - Discovered that I had left FREEZE off the LHWARP option, so added it
- and also fixed a bug that made every second selection of LHWARP not
- work !!! Sorry ?!?!?
-
- Updates to Version 0.22:
-
- - Added the rename command to the start of a LHWARP command, so that
- it doesn't lockup if you select an existing file for your output
- file. The old file is renamed to FILENAME.BAK.LHW for your convenience.
- - Fixed a typo in my Assembly Listing that made it unable to be packed
- with the PowerPacker. Fixing this has made the PowerPacker very happy,
- so happy you'll see that the version supplied is PowerPacked, with a
- reduction of 71% (!!!! WOW !!!!)
-
- Updates to Version 0.9:
-
- - Added the LHWARP unarchiver. Just click on a file with a .LHW extension
- and it will bring up the requester.
- - Added a textfile to advertise ArchEdge, which is added to all LHWARP
- files, and now added to every archive as an autopad feature....to ensure
- communication programs don't cut something important off.
- - Fixed the longstanding LOCK bug, thanks to Richard Carde for his solution
- to my program via Fidonet echos, I'm almost embarrassed at how obvious
- it is.
- - Added a quit to archiving. When archiving, if you now click the close
- gadget on the ArchEdge requester and the it will stop when finished the
- current command. This is due to a bug if you make an error in setting
- up the info, then away it went without you being able to stop it.
-
- - I think thats it! I added heaps of source, so maybe I forgot something.
-
- - One point....You can't PowerPack this version...it seems to be a bug
- in DevPac Assembler...I'm still looking into it, and will fix it as
- soon as possible.
-
- Updates to Version 1.0:
-
- - As promised, ArchEdge now has an icon and runs from the workbench fine!
- - It also can be packed with PowerPacker. The problem was it doesn't
- like ArchEdge assembled with Debug info....
-
- Updates to Verison 1.1:
-
- - Fixed a bug that meant a mate with 2 megs of ram couldn't use it at
- all !! The whole program now goes into chip ram to fix this...
- - Fixed a serious bug the meant the UNDO function caused gurus after
- returning to the CLI. Doing this meant fixing the long-standing bug
- that ArchEdge didn't turn off all the locks it opened !
-
- Updates to Version 1.2:
-
- - A few people thought my ad was a bit rude, so it is now selectable with
- the AUTO-PAD icon.
- - Removed the ad file which nastily stayed in ram: after usage....
- - Changed the renaming part of LHWARP so that it used the DOS rename
- rather than the c: rename, and so its quicker and less of a hassle
- to one drivers...
- - Added the BEGIN icon to all the options to save you clicking in the
- path box and pushing return.
-
- Updates to Version 1.3:
-
- - Fixed a bug with the AUTO-PAD option....
-
- Updates to Version 1.4:
-
- - Added PAK to the archive options.
-
- Updates to Version 1.5:
-
- - Fixed another little bug with the UNDO, and then got the shits and
- removed the UNDO command totally. Rewrote it, adding full routines
- to do identifying and the stuff...there may be bugs, but enjoy!
- - Added UNPAKING to my UNDO routines !
-
- Updates to Version 1.6:
-
- - Almost embarrassing ! The nice new routines fell apart with some batch
- UNDOing....all because I left off a zero in one of the routines....damn!
- Oh well, at least its fixed....
- - A little bug exists which will be fixed in the next change that means
- you have to put a : or a / on pathnames...I'll fix it though....
-
- Updates to Version 1.7:
-
- - Fixed the above-mentioned pathname bug....
-
- Updates to Version 1.8:
-
- - Fixed a bug in the output of the "this file is a PAK..." message....
- - Added the ABOUT gadget and text.
- - Added the extensive routines to allow single archive undoing....there
- may be bugs, so keep your eyes peeled !
-
- Updates to Version 1.9:
-
- - Hopefully fixed the bug with some machines such that ArchEdge unarchives
- to the SYS: directory all the time...doesn't do it on my machine so I'm
- only guessing with this fix.....
-
- Updates to Version 2.0:
-
- - A huge jump to V2.0....I rewrote the whole archiving routines. They are
- now smaller, faster, more verbose, and much better programming style.
-
- Updates to Version 2.1:
-
- - Fixed a bug that crashed the machine when a filename was passed as a
- directory in the main path requester.....
- - Added the Auto-Padding routines again which were removed in 2.0 (sorry!)
- - Added a little message to tell you when a directory is bad or invalid,
- its basically the starting title screen but with two lines changed.
- - Begun design of the config screen, which you can't see yet, which will
- allow you to use your own archiving/de-archiving commands and to
- customize the gadgets a little bit.
-
- Updates to Version 2.2:
-
- - Added UNZIP capabilities.
-
- Updates to Version 2.3:
-
- - Added the PARENT gadget.
-
- Updates to Version 2.4:
-
- - The first sign to the real world of the config file.
- Added ArchEdge.config and so now you can select your own custom path
- gadgets !
-
- Updates to Version 2.5:
-
- - Added the DELETE gadget. You can now delete files or directories, and
- next I will add a copy and then that's all....this is not a DIRUTIL !
-
- Updates to Version 2.6:
-
- - Added the File Requester Alphabetical Sort routine....fingers crossed
- for no errors !
- - Added two more message screens....one for reading files and one for
- sorts....(the sort one "flashes"...because the routine is...F-A-S-T !)
-
- Updates to Version 2.7:
-
- - Fixed a little bug that has been bugging me for a while....ArchEdge used
- to be useless in the background...using about 40-50% CPU activity. It
- now uses less than 1% when waiting, and so can be multi-tasking at all
- times ! CPU usage is increased when its busy, but it depends heavily
- on what it is doing !
-
- Updates to Version 2.8:
-
- - To celebrate the CPU usage, I added a POP gadget. Click on it and away
- it goes ! WOW !
-
- Updates to Version 2.9:
-
- - Just what I needed....do ArchEdge -i and it automatically iconifies !
-
- Updates to Version 2.91:
-
- - Added a "DIRECTORY" empty screen.
-
- Updates to Version 2.92:
-
- - Fixed a few text routine errors.
- - Removed the Ad file when iconified so as not to cause confusion !
-
- Updates to Version 2.93:
-
- - Added the LIST routine....fingers crossed !
-
- Updates to Version 2.94:
-
- - Fixed a bug in the sorter....for case when one file in dir only (oops).
-
- Updates to Version 2.95:
-
- - Fixed a bug introduced when inserting the LIST routine with the UNDO
- text.....
-
- Updates to Version 2.96:
-
- - Fixed a bug with the LHWARP option...purely in the looks !
-
- Updates to Version 2.97:
-
- - Added the menus...cute huh ?
-
- Updates to Version 3.00: WOW! HEAPS (I probably missed something here...)
-
- - Rewrote File Requester !!!
- - Added "drag" ability
- - Moved text requesters for files etc to the main window
- - Added the NODIRS which won't allow you to select a dir if on.
- - Added the OKAYS ? which will make things faster if you know what you
- are doing....
- - Added the OWNDIR which when off will stop ArchEdge from making separate
- directories for each archive in the UNDO feature !
- - Separated the path and filename for archives...
- - Added the CLR to unselect all files/dirs
- - Added the ALL to select all files and/or dirs depending on NODIRS.
- - Added READ to allow you to re-read a directory if it changed and ArchEdge
- didn't know about it....
- - Optimized a lot of the text routines to lessen space, but new file
- requester was a bit bigger, so overall change was minimal.
-
- Updates to Version 3.01:
-
- - Added my title text again....
- - Converted to Macro68...great assembler...faster and neater....my data and
- code hunks are now clearly defined (should have been earlier...shame !)
