This is the final release version of VFILER 4.1. Since beta-test
version 4.1h I have made the following changes: 1) I added the equate
REVVIDEO and put some changes into the screen display code to make it
possible to have a pleasing display on a terminal with reverse video
highlighting; 2) I cleaned up a few of the screen prompts and made them all
have the same format, and I added a bell signal for those that result from
unusual situations to which the user's attention should be called, such as
prompts for erasing read-only files or files that already exist on the
destination directory; 3) I corrected a problem with the shell-wait flag
that made versions of VFILER cloned by saving the new version from inside
VFILER with the "Z" command start up with the "strike any key" message.
For a more complete list of the changes, see the file VFHIST.DOC.
I also strongly recommend running through the HLP file. VFILER 4.1 has many
new features and options. Quite a few people have called me or sent messages
describing what they think are problems. In most cases the confusion resulted
from their not understanding changes that had been made or new option that
were included. So please run "HELP VFILER41" and read through all the
sections; it will only take a few minutes.
Please note that although I am submitting this package with the new
source code, I am keeping VFILER signed out. Work is already underway on
version 4.2. See the file VFILER42.DOC for a description of the new features
planned for version 4.2. If you have further suggestions, please forward
them to me.
This library contains four versions of the VFILER object file. They
represent all possible combinations supporting either reverse video or dim
video highlighting and either four or five columns of files on the screen.
Pick the one the suits your tastes and needs best. The files were all
assembled using SLR's Z80ASM and linked with SLRNK using a separate data
segment to keep unitialized data space out of the COM files. The VFHDR.Z80
file, however, has this option turned off. I have not checked to see if the
files will assemble with ZAS. If the assembler you use does not support the
INCLUDE directive, then you should use PIP to concatenate the separate source
files back into a single large file and eliminate VFILER41.Z80.
I would like to thank the many people who reported bugs and forwarded
suggestions to me. A special thank you is due Robert Frazier for his
assistance in preparing the new HLP file.
