- RE: Changes since 4.4...
-
- December 29, 1992
- SW 4.4a
-
- Corrected default mode of /I so it puts input line on last line of window.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- March 4, 1993
- SW 4.4b
-
- Added input blanking to /I so that passwords could be entered without showing
- the string on the screen. An * placed after the field length and before the
- variable name (if used) is all that is needed.
-
- Help has been moved to an external screen definition file called "SW.HLP".
- This makes SW smaller as well as allowing users to customize the help to their
- liking.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- June 12, 1993
- SW 4.5
-
- Added function keys to /Q. Use /Q[f#] for each key. F0 is F10.
-
- A Help screen can be included in a screen definition and is not displayed
- unless there is a /q within the screen def and F1 is pressed. It is not
- necessary to include the F1 in the query.
-
- The Fill Line switch has been enhanced to completely fill the line and will
- join to the border if one of the horizontal line draw characters (ASCII 196
- or 205) is used and the border is /l1 - /l4. The border color is used. Add
- a / after the character to fill (/─/).
-
- The Alert sounds routine has been modified to be more machine independent.
- Fast 486 machines would cause some of the sounds to not work. Now they
- should be OK, at least until the Pentium hits the market...
-
- A new form for /A has been implimented which allows frequency sweeps.
- /A100-1000,15 will sweep from 100 to 1000 Hz in 15 steps, each 1/18 of a
- second long. A reverse sweep can also be done. Step param is optional and
- defaults to 10.
-
- Check the History section in the doc file for page references to the new
- features.
