What I've added as time goes on to ArchEdge:
==========================================================================
Updates to version 0.06:
- added the "Please Press Return...." after dos activity so error
messages didn't vanish.
- Changed all pathnames to RAM: to stop hassle with people with one
drive and set two separate text sections...one with a pathname and
one with a path and file...you'll see the difference.
- Fixed a bug which occurred when no files were in the current
directory which caused an 256 times loop if any dos operations were
selected.
Updates to version 0.07:
- Added the title screen, and made ArchEdge wait for a pathname to
be entered...to further help single drive people. (BUY ANOTHER
DRIVE!!!)
- Got the Proportional Gadget Going !!! YAY !!! I remembered !!!
Updates to version 0.08:
- Added ARC to the archiving list, and realized at this stage that
ZIP was a full-fledged program, and since I can't see the use of it,
the ArchEdge will only ever UNZIP archives, but not ZIP them. If you
must use ZIP, then the program PKAZIP is more than adequate...in fact its
pretty impressive.
- Fixed a bug in earlier versions which had a problem with the change
of pathnames I did in V0.06.
Updates to version 0.10:
- Added the device requesters and decided it was neat enough to be
a version 0.10 !!!
Updates to version 0.20:
- A large routine added to archive a full disk using the fantastic
LHWARP option. All options are there...it defaults to the best
but you can do it anyway you like!!
Updates to Version 0.21:
- Discovered that I had left FREEZE off the LHWARP option, so added it
and also fixed a bug that made every second selection of LHWARP not
work !!! Sorry ?!?!?
Updates to Version 0.22:
- Added the rename command to the start of a LHWARP command, so that
it doesn't lockup if you select an existing file for your output
file. The old file is renamed to FILENAME.BAK.LHW for your convenience.
- Fixed a typo in my Assembly Listing that made it unable to be packed
with the PowerPacker. Fixing this has made the PowerPacker very happy,
so happy you'll see that the version supplied is PowerPacked, with a
reduction of 71% (!!!! WOW !!!!)
Updates to Version 0.9:
- Added the LHWARP unarchiver. Just click on a file with a .LHW extension
and it will bring up the requester.
- Added a textfile to advertise ArchEdge, which is added to all LHWARP
files, and now added to every archive as an autopad feature....to ensure
communication programs don't cut something important off.
- Fixed the longstanding LOCK bug, thanks to Richard Carde for his solution
to my program via Fidonet echos, I'm almost embarrassed at how obvious
it is.
- Added a quit to archiving. When archiving, if you now click the close
gadget on the ArchEdge requester and the it will stop when finished the
current command. This is due to a bug if you make an error in setting
up the info, then away it went without you being able to stop it.
- I think thats it! I added heaps of source, so maybe I forgot something.
- One point....You can't PowerPack this version...it seems to be a bug
in DevPac Assembler...I'm still looking into it, and will fix it as
soon as possible.
Updates to Version 1.0:
- As promised, ArchEdge now has an icon and runs from the workbench fine!
- It also can be packed with PowerPacker. The problem was it doesn't
like ArchEdge assembled with Debug info....
Updates to Verison 1.1:
- Fixed a bug that meant a mate with 2 megs of ram couldn't use it at
all !! The whole program now goes into chip ram to fix this...
- Fixed a serious bug the meant the UNDO function caused gurus after
returning to the CLI. Doing this meant fixing the long-standing bug
that ArchEdge didn't turn off all the locks it opened !
Updates to Version 1.2:
- A few people thought my ad was a bit rude, so it is now selectable with
the AUTO-PAD icon.
- Removed the ad file which nastily stayed in ram: after usage....
- Changed the renaming part of LHWARP so that it used the DOS rename
rather than the c: rename, and so its quicker and less of a hassle
to one drivers...
- Added the BEGIN icon to all the options to save you clicking in the
path box and pushing return.
Updates to Version 1.3:
- Fixed a bug with the AUTO-PAD option....
Updates to Version 1.4:
- Added PAK to the archive options.
Updates to Version 1.5:
- Fixed another little bug with the UNDO, and then got the shits and
removed the UNDO command totally. Rewrote it, adding full routines
to do identifying and the stuff...there may be bugs, but enjoy!
- Added UNPAKING to my UNDO routines !
Updates to Version 1.6:
- Almost embarrassing ! The nice new routines fell apart with some batch
UNDOing....all because I left off a zero in one of the routines....damn!
Oh well, at least its fixed....
- A little bug exists which will be fixed in the next change that means
you have to put a : or a / on pathnames...I'll fix it though....
Updates to Version 1.7:
- Fixed the above-mentioned pathname bug....
Updates to Version 1.8:
- Fixed a bug in the output of the "this file is a PAK..." message....
- Added the ABOUT gadget and text.
- Added the extensive routines to allow single archive undoing....there
may be bugs, so keep your eyes peeled !
Updates to Version 1.9:
- Hopefully fixed the bug with some machines such that ArchEdge unarchives
to the SYS: directory all the time...doesn't do it on my machine so I'm
only guessing with this fix.....
Updates to Version 2.0:
- A huge jump to V2.0....I rewrote the whole archiving routines. They are
now smaller, faster, more verbose, and much better programming style.
Updates to Version 2.1:
- Fixed a bug that crashed the machine when a filename was passed as a
directory in the main path requester.....
- Added the Auto-Padding routines again which were removed in 2.0 (sorry!)
- Added a little message to tell you when a directory is bad or invalid,
its basically the starting title screen but with two lines changed.
- Begun design of the config screen, which you can't see yet, which will
allow you to use your own archiving/de-archiving commands and to
customize the gadgets a little bit.
Updates to Version 2.2:
- Added UNZIP capabilities.
Updates to Version 2.3:
- Added the PARENT gadget.
Updates to Version 2.4:
- The first sign to the real world of the config file.
Added ArchEdge.config and so now you can select your own custom path
gadgets !
Updates to Version 2.5:
- Added the DELETE gadget. You can now delete files or directories, and
next I will add a copy and then that's all....this is not a DIRUTIL !
Updates to Version 2.6:
- Added the File Requester Alphabetical Sort routine....fingers crossed
for no errors !
- Added two more message screens....one for reading files and one for
sorts....(the sort one "flashes"...because the routine is...F-A-S-T !)
Updates to Version 2.7:
- Fixed a little bug that has been bugging me for a while....ArchEdge used
to be useless in the background...using about 40-50% CPU activity. It
now uses less than 1% when waiting, and so can be multi-tasking at all
times ! CPU usage is increased when its busy, but it depends heavily
on what it is doing !
Updates to Version 2.8:
- To celebrate the CPU usage, I added a POP gadget. Click on it and away
it goes ! WOW !
Updates to Version 2.9:
- Just what I needed....do ArchEdge -i and it automatically iconifies !
Updates to Version 2.91:
- Added a "DIRECTORY" empty screen.
Updates to Version 2.92:
- Fixed a few text routine errors.
- Removed the Ad file when iconified so as not to cause confusion !
Updates to Version 2.93:
- Added the LIST routine....fingers crossed !
Updates to Version 2.94:
- Fixed a bug in the sorter....for case when one file in dir only (oops).
Updates to Version 2.95:
- Fixed a bug introduced when inserting the LIST routine with the UNDO
text.....
Updates to Version 2.96:
- Fixed a bug with the LHWARP option...purely in the looks !
Updates to Version 2.97:
- Added the menus...cute huh ?
Updates to Version 3.00: WOW! HEAPS (I probably missed something here...)
- Rewrote File Requester !!!
- Added "drag" ability
- Moved text requesters for files etc to the main window
- Added the NODIRS which won't allow you to select a dir if on.
- Added the OKAYS ? which will make things faster if you know what you
are doing....
- Added the OWNDIR which when off will stop ArchEdge from making separate
directories for each archive in the UNDO feature !
- Separated the path and filename for archives...
- Added the CLR to unselect all files/dirs
- Added the ALL to select all files and/or dirs depending on NODIRS.
- Added READ to allow you to re-read a directory if it changed and ArchEdge
didn't know about it....
- Optimized a lot of the text routines to lessen space, but new file
requester was a bit bigger, so overall change was minimal.
Updates to Version 3.01:
- Added my title text again....
- Converted to Macro68...great assembler...faster and neater....my data and
code hunks are now clearly defined (should have been earlier...shame !)

ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!!!!
