CLI Guardian version 1.10
⌐ Sam Kington 27th December 1994
Changes since version 1.00
**************************
Please note: the Choices file has changed format, so some mouse actions may
not be correctly loaded. Sorry about that.
Module list window:
Å You can now see the size of the module (*NB*: code only, not workspace).
Å Sort by date and sort by size added.
Å You can also save the contents of the module list window, as a text ₧le
padded with spaces. Use Zapæs ötabifyò option or similar things to make
it word processor-friendly.
Help:
Å Help is now available on BASIC keywords.
Å You can get help on modules from the Help window, i.e. enter öSCSIò and
select öModuleò and it will give you formatted help on all modules
beginning with öSCSIò. This help is also available to external tasks
with the command CLIGuardHelp (e.g. CLIGuardHelp SCSI will do the same
thing).
Å You can get öRaw helpò on a module, i.e. what *Help would have given you
rather than the formatted version CLI Guardian gives you.
Viewer windows:
Å When you get help on a heading, it instead gets help on everything
between this and the next heading (or the next line). This means that
e.g. clicking on öCommandsò in a moduleæs list of commands etc. gets
help on all the commands, and clicking on the heading öHelp on module
<whatever>ò gets help on all the help options.
Å As well as displaying a list of Commands, Con₧guration options etc., a
module viewer window will now also display the SWIs provided by the
module. You canæt get help on these, probably, but it does often explain
why a massive big module doesnæt seem to do much (i.e. no Help, no
commands).
*Command window:
Å Better editing: deleting, inserting and removing spaces now works more
like you would expect it to.
Å CLI Guard passes öillegalò commands either to a Task window or starts
them up as separate tasks.
Å Other tasks like Director can now ask CLI Guardian to run a command and
display the result in a window by using the command CLIGuardCommand.
e.g. CLIGuardCommand Show File$Type_* will display all the known ₧le
types in a CLI Guardian window.
Å CLI Guardian now knows about Line Editor (no-one should be without it):
it inserts its own commands into the command history, and will display
it when you press F2. F1 also retrieves the last command run (including
external commands run by RunCommand).
Å Dragging a ₧le to the window inserts the full pathname in the last
argument ₧eld.
Miscellaneous:
Å You can now save a module from the module area (or ROM) to disc, to
dissassemble it or whatever.
Å A ₧le öFileDragsò contains a list of *commands to run when ₧les of a
certain type are dragged to the CLI Guardian window.
Å Help cross-referencing now works better (explicit links like ösee *List
and *Print.ò will now be followed).
Å Various bug ₧xes: the window and menus donæt behave as erratically, font
handling has been improved, CLI Guardian can cope better with
badly-written modules and hopefully doesn't crash as much. öRescanò will
now also jettison any windows and give back any claimed memory, so
choose öRescanò if CLI Guardian grabs all available memory and refuses
to give it back.
