- Release Version 1.12
- ----------------------
-
- Last Updated: September 1992
- ---------------------------
-
- This file contains descriptions of the updates made to the
- Laughing Dog Screen Maker program since the first release in
- March 1992.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- LDOG.EXE
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- V1.01:
- --Internal release only.
-
- V1.02:
- 20APR92 -- Fixed a bug in the PostScript output which caused the
- alternate PrCh function to fail. For consistency, all file and
- path names are now forcedto uppercase.
-
- --Fixed a bug introduced in V1.01 which prevented the PostScript
- option from working correctly.
-
- V1.10:
- 25JUL92 -- Fixed a problem with the Set Last Screen Row dialog box
- that would sometimes cause the row number to increment more than
- one row at a time when using the mouse.
-
- --Initialize screen to White on Black ($0F) upon start-up.
-
- --Added ASCII Text output to the Generate Code/Export Menu. (See
- READ.ME file for more info on using this feature)
-
- --Added the ability to automatically insert WildCat! and PCBoard
- @variables into a screen using <cntl>-V hot key.(See READ.ME file
- for more info on using this feature)
-
- --Limited the length of screen rows exported as PCBoard or
- WildCat! BBS files to 79 chars. This change was necessary to
- avoid screens displaying a blank line between each row from
- within WildCat! and PCBoard on screens having a background color
-

-
- other than black. The last row on the screen (row 79) is now
- truncated.
-
- --Changed the colors used in the help screens. People suffering
- from certain kinds of color blindness were having trouble seeing
- the green on black text, so the colors were changed to solve this
- problem. If it is still difficult to see, please let me know and
- I will keep on adjusting until everyone can read the help
- screens. (Unfortunately, the colors are hard-coded into the help
- file, and cannot be user configured at this time).
-
- V1.11:
- 14AUG92 -- Removed the invalid WildCat! BBS @variables @NODESTAT###@
- and @NODEUSER###@ from the WildCat! @Variable Menu.
-
- V1.12:
- 02SEP92 -- Although still not ``officially'' supported, EGA and VGA
- extended screen modes (modes with more than the standard 25
- screen rows, like 35-line mode, 50-line mode, etc.) work better
- now. Fixed the problem of the mouse cursor occasionally not
- being able to move beyond the 25th row. Fixed the problem of
- getting multiple copies of a window, copied block, or BBS
- @variables showing up on the screen when using the Make a Window,
- Paste From File, or Insert BBS Variable features while UNDO was
- active. NOTE: In order for LDOG to work with these extended
- screen modes, the display must be in the mode prior to running
- LDOG.EXE, if you start LDOG in one mode then shell out to DOS and
- put the display in another mode, the screen will change, but LDOG
- will behave as though the original mode is still in effect, not a
- pretty sight...

- LDOGSHOW.EXE
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- V1.01:
- 20APR92 -- Fixed the Copyright notice in the helpscreen
-
- V1.02:
- 21JUL92 -- Program has not changed since V1.01, it was just recompiled
- with a different compiler.
-
- V1.03:
- 03SEP92 -- Fixed the bug that would not allow the display of single
- screens whose filenames began with a numeric character.

- LDOGRAB.EXE
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- V1.02:
- 21JUL92 -- Fixed a problem which caused unexpected results if a screen
- being captured contained the characters with the values 0 or 255
- (which would have shown up as spaces on the application screen).
- These character values are now replaced with a normal space
- character (32 decimal/20 hex).
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- BLK2EPS.EXE
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 13APR92 -- Fixed a bug which caused the alternate PrCh function to
