Version 0.63 Beta -- 10 November 1999
Minor changes to DOC file and some help messages.
Version 0.62 Beta -- 23 October 1999
Replaced simple BZIP.BAT with Ken Whiton's comprehensive BWPACK.BAT.
Updated DOC File to include his installation contribution.
Version 0.61 Beta -- 3 August 1999
Changed the processor option on Borland's C++ (4.52) compiler.
It had been set to 286 -- changed to 8086. Result was that program
will now run on a Tandy XT clone. It would not run there before.
Did timing tests -- could detect no difference between 8086 code and
code generated for Pentium. Therefore, will have the one version with
8086 option set.
Version 0.60 Beta -- 16 July 1999
Made minor changes to the DOC file. Since no new problems have been
reported from Beta testers for more than a month, I am going to give
this version wide distribution.
31 May 1999 -- revised the reading of parameters. Now order does not
matter. I.e. -d -c <filename> == <filename> -c -d
Also added a test to ensure that <filename> is a full
path file name (needed because of the way search is
done).
Version 0.54 Beta -- 27 May 1999
27 May 1999 -- After a split vote by beta testers, and following the
suggestion of one tester -- I have decided to add a
parameter. This parameter is -c, and forces the
date/time to be current within 45 days in the past. The
reason for needing this parameter is that BW2.12 [and
possible BW2.30 (OS/2) ] are erratic when reading a date
with a year 00 or beyond. It creates a new date that
might be almost any value, sometimes negative.
Revised DOC file to show new parameter. If -c is not
given, then date/time entries which are in the past will
be allowed to remain. If -c is present, then date/time
entries more than 45 days in the past will be replaced by
the current date/time.
Version 0.53 Beta -- 24 May 1999
24 May 1999 -- Revised testing of header to allow for more extensive
errors caused by BW 2.12 when it opens an existing
.REP packet.
22 May 1999 -- Revised handling of file names to resolve some long file
name problems. After this was done, found out that BlueWave
limits the directory paths to less than 40 characters, and the
changes were probably not necessary -- but left them in.
Version 0.52 Beta -- 17 May 1999
17 May 1999 -- User found a condition not trapped (call to bwrepfix -d
caused program to attempt to process a NULL file).
Problem is now trapped, error message written and graceful
termination.
He also ran into a problem with length of directory path.
DOS.H had set max to 80 characters. I have now upped the
limit to 256 characters. I'll also think about ways of
making the limit fit the requirement on a dynamic basis.
15 May 1999 -- Corrected several errors in BWREPFIX.DOC
Fixed problem with ZIP file having directory structure
that pointed to a long name type file.
Version 0.51 Beta -- 14 May 1999
14 May 1999 -- Changed print in case of *.MSG not having header.
Added test that will stop processing when this happens
without doing any further work. This prevents BWREPFIX
from having to look at the many *.MSG files present when
compacting a *.NEW file.
10 May 1999 -- added a few prints for cases where *.MSG file
does not have header (e.g. from BW format *.NEW file)
and other error conditions.
Version 0.50 Beta -- 8 May 1999.
8 May 1999 -- replaced test for date of 01-01-70 by a test for
time of 00:00. This test catches both BW 2.30 and
BW 2.12 problems caused by editing a previously saved
reply message.
Minor changes to DOC and other files to reflect this change.
Version 0.41 Beta -- 5 May 1999.
5 May 1999 -- added test for first record of *.MSG file being header.
This should help prevent false alarm error message on
a *.MSG file contained in a *.NEW archive.
5 May 1999 -- minor changes to output with parameter -h or ?.
make the output less than one screen and easier to read.
22 April 1999, minor changes to DOC files. Created History file.
version 0.40 beta -- Mid April 1999.
modified philosophy of how the program would be
run. By inserting it between BlueWave and the compression program,
avoided difficulties with having to decompress *.REP file in order to do
the repair. Thanks to Ken Whiton for this suggestion.
version 0.30 beta -- initial version, written circa 3 April 1999.
