- Version 1.3c added routines to avoid bombing the program if a drive
- door is open and fixed a minor bug in display after exchange. A change
- was made in requests for contributions, which are now to be directed to
- the Forbin Project Inc. (Please note that the contribution is for
- Qfonedit. Thanks!)
-
- Version 1.3b involved only documentary changes: A directory name other
- than QMODEM.FON may be entered on the DOS command line. Some "Turbo-
- style" cursor control commands work in Qfonedit.
-
- Version 1.3a involved minor, non-substantive changes. The docs changed
- only in updating the version number.
-
- Version 1.3 implemented a revised sorting routine, which speeds up sorts
- over ranges with null entries, and multifield searches where there are
- few ties in the first field sorted.
-
- While at it, I added the capability for Qfonedit to search along the DOS
- PATH for QMODEM.FON before reporting that it cannot be found. With DOS 2.0
- or later, if a PATH command has been given to DOS, if QMODEM.FON is not
- found in the configured directory or the current directory, the PATH will
- be searched in the normal DOS order, until either QMODEM.FON has been found
- or the end of the PATH has been reached.
-
- The only changes in the docs were in describing the PATH-related function.
-
- Versions 1.2x involved minor changes: the addition of copywrite info,
- change to right-justification of phone numbers, etc.
-
- Version 1.2 finished the correction of problems with monochrome
- adapters. John Friel and Tom Neff reported that TURBO.COM must be
- installed for the default display to insure compatability. Also, path-
- related functions were made to recognize DOS 2.X and cripple themselves
- accordingly.
-
- Version 1.1A corrected one cause of the reported problem with display on
- a monochrome adapter. Borland tech support "accused" me of "good research"
- when I asked them if TextMode() disabled the display adapter. Yes, it does,
- they said, and it is on the list of problems to fix. Why doesn't it appear
- in the manual or the READ.ME? Because some things just never get there.
- And, they said, TextMode() is of no use unless a previous change to
- graphics mode has been made. Sorry about that.
-
- Version 1.1 has corrected a bug which caused Qfonedit to (sometimes)
- be unable to save its .CNF file.
-
- Thanks to John Friel III (author of Qmodem), Qfonedit can now read the
- default communication parameters and the screen colors contained in the
- QMODEM.CNF file.
-
- The Main Menu command "Tidy up" has been added. This operates on the
- same groups of lines as Sort. It moves all null entries to the bottom of
- the chosen group (page, global, etc.)
-
- Cheers! Karl
