Summary of bugs that where reported in WinCat/PRO 3.0, and that have been
eliminated in WinCat/PRO 3.2.0 if possible :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0001
Symptom : Runtime error 2 when ending WinCat, or message 'catalog
does not exist' when opening an existing catalog, etc.
Occurs : Immediately after deleting a volume who's .ACT file did not
exist or could not be found.
Cause : When deleting a volume from the catalog, WinCat tries to erase
the associated .ACT file. If this file doesn't exist, then
WinCat intercepts and ignores the resulting I/O-error. However,
'somehow' this errorcondition re-appears on the first I/O-
operation WinCat performs (eg. closing the catalog, opening
another catalog, opening an import text-file etc.).
Fix : WinCat now first checks if the .ACT file exists before erasing it.
Modules : WINCAT.PAS(TWinCatDialog.B_Erase)
Status : fixed 22-04-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0002
Symptom : Runtime error 5 when saving a catalog.
Occurs : When saving a catalog on a write-protected floppy-disk.
Fix : WinCat now intercepts possible I/O-errors when saving a catalog,
and if necessary issues 'retry/cancel' message.
Modules : WCGLOBAL.PAS(SaveCatalog)
Status : fixed 15-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0003
Symptom : The used/free space graphic display on the Volume Information
window doesn't show info for first selected volume.
Occurs : When displaying the Volume Information window.
Modules : WCVOLINF.PAS(TVolInfoDialog.SetStatic)
Status : fixed 14-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0004
Symptom : Creating a new catalog by using the 'Open Catalog...' menu
isn't conform CUA standards (should be 'New...').
Fix :
Modules : WINCAT.PAS
Status : open
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0005
Symptom : WinCat doesn't recognise 'Floptical' disks. Displays 'Disk :
Code 63 ??' on Volume Information window.
Occurs : When displaying Volume Information window for Floptical disk.
Fix : Code 63 defined as Floptical
Modules : WCVOLINF.PAS(TVolInfoDialog.SetStatic)
Status : fixed 02-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0006
Symptom : If there is more than 9999K free space on a volume, the 'free
space' value on the Volume List window gets truncated.
Fix : WinCat now displays free space in megabytes if it exceeds 9999K.
Modules : WCGLOBAL.PAS(AddVolumeToListbox)
Status : fixed 02-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0007
Symptom : WinCat can't scan the contents of archive-files that have the
'read-only' attribute.
Fix : WinCat now opens archive-files in input-only mode.
Modules : WINCATAR.PAS
Status : fixed 02-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0008
Symptom : WinCat shows wrong filenames in archive if archive contains
directory names.
Fix : Directory-names deleted from filename.
Modules : WINCATAR.PAS
Status : fixed 02-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0009
Symptom : WinCat can't handle 'multi-volume' archive-files.
Fix :
Modules : WINCATAR.PAS
Status : open
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0010
Symptom : Beep and empty 'Archive Contents' window when displaying
contents of archive file.
Occurs : When .ACT file cannot be opened, or if it doesn't contain
information about selected archive file.
Fix : WinCat now issues appropriate message.
Modules : WCFARC.PAS
Status : fixed 21-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0011
Symptom : When cataloging a volume with the 'catalog archive contents'
option set, WinCat creates a .ACT file even if the volume doesn't
contain any archive files.
Fix : WinCat now first checks for presence of archive-files. If there
are no archive-files on the disk being cataloged, no .ACT file
will be created.
Modules : WCCATALG.PAS(TCatalogDialog.BOK);
Status : fixed 15-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0012
Symptom : WinCat ignores user-selected font on startup, and instead uses
default TERMINAL font.
Fix : Changed '=' to '<>'... WinCat now uses user-selected font.
Modules : WINCAT.PAS(TWinCatDialog.InitWinCat)
Status : fixed 03-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0013
Symptom : Message 'Filename-extension must be .CAT !' when creating a
new catalog with an 8-character filename (e.g. PICTURES.CAT).
Modules : WINCAT.PAS(TWinCatDialog.OpenCatalog)
Status : fixed 22-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0014
Symptom : When running WinCat on a Windows system using 1024x768 display
mode, characters are too small to read.
Fix : As my grandfather used to say 'To prevent this from happening :
don't do it !'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0015
Symptom : Runtime error at 0003:2652 when saving a catalog
Cause : When saving a catalog, WinCat first tries to delete the correspon-
ding .BCK backup file. On some systems this results in a runtime
error 5 (file access denied). When user installed MS-DOS 6.0
(instead of DR-DOS 6.0 which he was using) problem disappeared.
Fix : Code has been changed to prevent the runtime error. However, this
can cause WinCat to skip saving a new backup.
Modules : WCGLOBAL.PAS(SaveCatalog)
Status : fixed 15-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0016
Symptom : Message 'WINCAT.EXE caused General Protection Failure', followed
by message 'runtime error at <some address>', or message 'Function
returncode = xx'.
Occurs : After entering an as-long-as-possible file-description on the
File Information window, and then saving, searching or loading the
catalog.
Cause : WinCat stored 1 character too many in the file's description
field, and so corrupted an other field.
Modules : WCFINFO.PAS(TFileInfoDialog.CheckUpdate)
Status : fixed 08-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0017
Symptom : Unable to re-size the Volume List window ; it stays full-screen.
Cause : When ending WinCat, WinCat saves the position and size of the
Volume List, File List and Archive List windows in WINCAT.INI.
If at that moment the Volume List window is maximized, the values
saved will cause a 'permanent' full-screen window when starting
WinCat again.
Fix : WinCat now only saves the position of these windows if they are
not maximized/iconized.
Modules : WCGLOBAL.PAS(SaveWindowPosition)
Status : fixed 09-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0018
Symptom : Instead of picture-buttons, 'empty' buttons with the text
'No Bitmap !' show up. Some BMP's don't show at all.
Occurs : When running WinCat on a Windows system using EGA display mode.
Problem also seems to occur when using Paradox video driver.
Cause : When using EGA display mode, a (Turbo Pascal for Windows) program
must supply different bitmaps (code 2xxx and 6xxx) then when using
VGA display mode (code 1xxx and 3xxx). The EGA-mode bitmaps are
not defined in WinCat, hence the 'No Bitmap!' message.
Fix : DOC-change - System Requirements : a VGA display...
(Well, now you know that 'System Requirements' is just a fancy
way of saying 'program limitations' ) ;-)
Sorry EGA-folks...
Modules : WINCAT.DOC
Status : fixed 03-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0019
Symptom : At times, WinCat's icon turns into a black hole, or shows another
program's icon.
Cause : Reserved classname 'Bordlg' used. If another program uses the
same classname, WinCat's icon goes down the drain.
Fix : Changed classname to 'Bordlg_wc'.
Modules : WINCAT.PAS(GetClassName)
Status : fixed 09-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0020
Symptom : Text at bottom of Volume List window gets truncated
Cause : Error in window 'resize' coding
Modules : WINCAT.PAS(TWinCatDialog.WMSize)
Status : fixed 13-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0021
Symptom : When clicking 'exit' button on File List window, this window
gets 'iconized' instead of invisible.
Cause : Not really a bug ; I programmed it that way. But because some
people got totally and utterly confused by this I changed it.
Modules : WCFILES.PAS(TFileDialog.Exit)
Status : fixed 14-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0022
Symptom : Various errors when running WinCat on a 1 MB 286 system (runtime
errors when displaying windows, when reading catalog etc.)
Cause : Euuuhhh... I don't know
Status : open
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0023
Symptom : When cataloging a disk, WinCat reads descript.ion file regardless
of the setting of the 'read descript.ion' option on the 'Configure'
window.
Modules : WCCATALG.PAS(TCatalogDialog.BOK)
Status : fixed 15-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0024
Symptom : Runtime error & message 'Segment Bounds Exceeded' when loading a
catalog.
Occurs : If catalog contains a volume with more than 1000 directories on
it (e.g. the CICA November 92 CD).
Cause : Table overflow while reading directories from catalog.
Modules : WCGLOBAL.PAS(ReadCatalog)
Status : fixed 22-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0025
Symptom : Message 'Unable to read the disk's directory' when cataloging
an empty disk.
Cause : WinCat was programmed to refuse empty disks to be cataloged. This
has been changed on user's request.
Modules : WCSELDRV.PAS(TSelDrvDialog.SelectDisk)
Status : fixed 02-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0026
Symptom : User installed WinCat. Soon after, the mouse disappeared.
Fix : ?
Status : Yet another unsolved mistery... beware !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0027
Symptom : Volume description entered on Volume Information window gets
truncated.
Cause : This window allowed the user to enter an 'infinitely' long
description. However, WinCat only uses the first 51 characters
and if necesary truncates the description the user entered.
Fix : Description-field now limits input to 51 characters
Modules : WCVOLINF.PAS(TVolInfoDialog.SetupWindow)
Status : fixed 31-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0028
Symptom : When ending WinCat using the 'Close' option from the system menu,
WinCat ends immediately without asking the user if updates
should be saved first.
Modules : WINCAT.PAS(TWinCatDialog.CMClose)
Status : fixed 31-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0029
Symptom : Target directory selected on Restore window ignored by WUNA. running WUNA.
Cause : Wrong parameter-string passed to WUNA ; '-p' parm must precede
target directory specification.
Status : fixed 31-05-93
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRB0030
Symptom : 'Weird' WinCat displays : buttons don't line up, text looks
chaotic, windows look a complete mess...
Cause : WinCat uses the (Windows default) Sonoran Sans Serif 8-point
font (SSERIFE.FON) for displaying text ; if this font isn't
installed on your system (or replaced when you installed an OEM
display device driver) another font is used, which can cause the
mentioned problems.
You can prevent this from happenig by specifying this in file
WIN.INI :
[fonts]
MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (8514/a res)=SSERIFE.FON
Status : open
