- Version History
- ---------------
-
- v0.10
- -----
- Basic shell idea written. Customised for my personal use. Keys had to be
- added to main program. Only ran applications and executed *commands
-
- v0.20
- -----
- Modes facility added
-
- v1.00
- -----
- Status file added so that it is easily customisable. Gave it a nice icon
- (half of it nicked off PenFriend but don't tell anyone...)
-
- v1.01
- -----
- Nasty glitch ironed out - Alt+(Keys) under RO3 produces special characters.
- Changed it so that you now have to use Ctrl+Alt+(Keys), apart from on
- cursor keys which are still only Alt+(Keys)
-
- v1.11
- -----
- CheatMods killing facility added (to stop my brother from cheating at
- Flashback after we just paid huge sums of money for it - great game, though,
- but really bad programming - half the time it doesn't work)
-
- v1.15
- -----
- Document facility added - CTRL-Alt-D > Letter will create a new document for
- a particular application. Sorted out irritating !Edit-window width wrap on
- !Help file (I've upgraded - note to Acorn - to !Zap. This program is quite
- brilliant, and I would be willing to pay money - and quite a lot of money,
- too - for it if necessary. But it's free which means I don't have to. Great!
- Thanks, Dominic.) Can't be bothered to sort out wrap on this file. Maybe in
- the next release.
-
- v1.16
- ------
- Sorted out a bug in the cursor moving routine, sorted out window wrap
- in this file.
-
- v1.20
- -----
- Added routine to detect disc name in drive 0, and open that instead of
- ADFS::0.$. (Command - OpenFloppyRoot) Thanks to Neil Walker for the idea for
- this routine (from his program '!WarmBoard' which does basically the same as
- this program, but is a little more esoteric in that it uses SWI's [eg. OS_CLI
- and Wimp_StartTask] instead of *commands. OK, so it may be a bit more
- flexible, but it's harder to use. Also, his program runs off single
- keypresses, so you have to bomb the caret first [get rid of it]. It's quite
- nice, but I prefer my program.)
- Moved Doc files into root application directory, 'cos otherwise it won't
- archive using !AllForOne properly. When I get around to re-writing AllForOne
- properly, I'll stick everything back in a Docs directory. Just to make things
- nice and incompatible.
-
- v1.21
- -----
- Decided against rewriting AllForOne just yet, as my proposed improvements
- mean a completely new (read incompatible) file format. Stuck Docs back in
- Docs directory anyway. Created distributable version which actually has
- Status_Bak in it.
-
- Proposed improvements
- ---------------------
-
- Sorting out a link between Lock and !KeyUtils, so that Lock writes a status
- file, and if !KeyUtils is run, it checks the status file to see if the
- machine was reset when it was locked. If so, re-lock the machine. The
- practical upshot of this would be that if you stick !KeyUtils in your Boot
- sequence (which is where it should be anyway), you can't get around Lock by
- resetting the machine.
-
- Filer message reporting - ie. a simple sort of Virus protection which reports
- to the user any disc accesses. Different levels of protection will be set.
-
- Icon bar front end, and a proper Quit option.
