The Baker's Dozen: Changes in Centiwrite 1.10
=== ======= ===== ======= == ========== ====
1. Load screen switch.
By using the command-line switch /ls, you can load the current screen
into the program. You can then edit and save it as you would any other
file.
2. Automatic save feature.
You can now have your file saved every five minutes by using the /sa
command-line switch. The default is /sm (manual saves).
3. Encryption feature.
Use the /ey command-line switch to load a file previously encrypted by
Centiwrite. This is not industrial-strength encryption, but it may be
all that is needed. F6 toggles the encryption flag. The default is /en
(no encryption).
4. Monochrome colors option.
Use the /m command-line switch to force monochrome attributes.
5. Default cursor change.
The cursor as shipped from the "factory" is now inverse video (attribute
70H). If you prefer the boldface cursor, use CWCUSTOM to change it.
6. BIOS screen writes option.
Centiwrite 1.0x used direct screen writes only. In version 1.10, you may
disable direct screen writes and use BIOS calls instead by using the
/vb switch or through CWCUSTOM. The default switch is /vd for direct
screen writes. This _may_ enable you to run the program with operating
environments such as Desqview or Concurrent DOS. However, performance
will be noticeably slower.
7. No blank line.
The blank line below the status line has been eliminated.
8. Reduced size.
Despite the added features, CWRITE.EXE has been reduced to just over
34000 bytes.
9. CLOCK$ bug fixed.
"CLOCK$" is no longer allowed as a file name. Previously, use of
this DOS reserved device name caused problems.
10. Revised license policy.
Read the file LICENSE.DOC for information on the new policy for
shareware disk vendors, as well as clarification of the policy
for on-line bulletin board systems. Also mentioned is a new
"bundling" policy.
11. LCURSOR.EXE.
The utility LCURSOR, included in the bonus package for registered users,
has been rewritten in assembly language and is now about 132 bytes, a
decrease of over 93% over the Turbo Pascal version. It functions exactly
the same as it has in the past.
12. Visa/Mastercard welcome.
The Public (Software) Library will now accept credit card orders for
Centiwrite. See CWRITE.DOC for details.
13. Price increase.
All prices have been raised. See "Down to Brass Tacks" in CWRITE.DOC.
Registered owners of Centiwrite 1.0x receive a free upgrade. Just look
at their smiling faces as they beam over their good fortune!
