Revision History
================
1.5 05-25-93 -Fourth Compuserve release -DOSVUE
o DOSview now can be started with one or two starting path
designations for its panels. DV C: F:\UTILS, DV C F and
DV F:\APPS F:\DATA will all work if the paths are valid.
A single letter is the same as a letter and a colon here.
1.4c
o A network setup program, DVNSETUP.EXE, is now available for
supervisors wishing to setup DOSview properly on a network.
o A shared net logging feature (^N) is now available allowing
multiple DOSview users to track and update one central log
file between them. When the log is updated by another user,
you are notified right on your DOSview screen. Check the
documentation for details.
o The Filter panel function has been expanded into three
separate choices; All, Executable and Custom.
o A network setup section has been added to the Setup function.
o Another general code cleanup was accomplished.
o The change volume label function has been removed to keep the
size down; use the DOS label command if needed.
1.4b
o A Browse directories panel mode is finally available (CtrlF6
or ^B).
o Dir info data can now be shown on the bottom of a panel (^F).
o Dir info files can be edited even when the Status panel is not
displayed.
o You can now elect to automatically save the current panel
states when quitting.
1.4a
o A new setup option allows you to exclude specified directories
from being searched by the Find File (^Z) and Find Directory
(?) commands. \MAIL may be a great choice under certain
network environments.
1.4
o The Status window is now a "live" panel. Memory statistics
have also been updated. The Status panel may be saved as
a panel show default.
o DOSview now supports individual directory information files
which can be viewed with the Status panel. DV.DAT (primary)
and DIRINFO (secondary) are used.
o The '&' is no longer required/desired when entering external
programs. Simply enter the program's name (enter the full
path if the program is not in the DOS path). This change
was also made to DVZip.
o DOSview now automatically does a screen refresh after running
DVZip.
o An Unsorted choice has been added to panel sorting options.
