- For those who are familiar with earlier versions of Qfonedit:
-
- Qfonedit 2.2X provides full support for the Qmodem 2.20 (and later)
- directory structure, allowing editing of all of the new fields and
- sorting on some of them. Qfonedit's use of color has been revised to
- more closely emulate Qmodem. Improved use of windows and error
- trapping has been implemented. One level of complete un-do capability
- has been added.
-
- For those not familiar with Qfonedit:
-
- Qfonedit is an all-around utility for maintaining Qmodem phone
- directories. It allows full editing of the directory, using a full-
- page context-sensitive editor. It enables rapid sorts on up to seven
- fields, in any combination of ascending/descending order. Qfonedit
- will "print" any portion of the directory to a disk file, permitting
- you to further edit and print that file. Using Qfonedit, you may clear
- entries from the directory, exchange entries within the directory, and
- insert blank entries into the directory. You may also force blank
- entries to the bottom of any section of the directory. Qfonedit allows
- you to reset the communication parameters of all entries (or only all
- blank entries) in the directory.
-
- Qfonedit maintains up to two backups of your directory and also lets
- you "un-do" its operations if you make mistakes.
-
- With Qfonedit, you should need no other Qmodem utilities. Without
- Qfonedit, you may not realize you need a Qmodem utility. (That isn't
- hype. I wrote this program thinking I didn't need it. I didn't realize
- the need until I already had the program well under way.)
-
- Qfonedit is a user-supported program. This is not a demo version, nor
- is it crippled in any way, or limited in number of runs.
-
- release 2.22:
- If 2.20 worked well for you, you don't need 2.22--but please do not
- distribute 2.20! Some bugs kept Qfonedit 2.20 from running at all on a
- few systems. They have been squashed. Qfonedit 2.20 used and left a
- funny cursor on mono display adaptors. That has been fixed. Qfonedit
- 2.22 uses current DOS colors for opening status messages and restores
- those colors when exiting.
-
- release 2.23:
- Again, if things are working well already, you don't need 2.23. But
- again, please do not further distribute earler versions! The last (I
- swear to goodness!) bugs involving saving and opening files under DOS
- 2.X have gone.
- The "other display" information may be Printed (to disk) in place of
- the main display information.
- All ASCII characters from the space thru the underscore are
- recognized as significant in the Sort on Name. This was in response to
- requests from contributors.
- Handling of QMODEM.FON has been modified to preserve unchanged those
- portions of the .fon record which are now reserved for future use.
- (This may mean that some of QMODEM.FON will look trashy under DEBUG,
- but only Tom Neff seems to care about that.)
