- WHAT'S NEW IN WPTOOLS VERSION 5.1?
-
- Two changes are common to several programs. They are described here
- and briefly referred to in the discussion of individual programs.
-
- (a) Trapping of encrypted files. Rather than crashing
- when a password protected WP5 document is encountered,
- the programs now gracefully skip over them.
-
- (b) Read-only input files are now less likely to
- cause problems.
-
-
- COMMENTS 2.0 -- (a) Allows wildcard input specification.
- (b) Encryption and read-only fixes.
-
- DISKFONT 2.2 -- Read-only fix.
-
- ENDFOOT 1.3 -- (a) Better test for same input and output file, and
- better error message.
- (b) Encryption and read-only fixes.
-
- FIXPRE 4.4 -- (a) Optionally deletes document summaries.
- (b) Optionally deletes graphics.
- (c) Allows combining of single letter options on
- command line.
- (d) Encryption fix.
- (e) Reduced likelihood of crashing when treewalking
- through complex directory structures with large numbers
- of files, and better error messages when problems do
- arise.
- (f) Improved error handling. When problems arise,
- input file is now left intact. This reduces the
- danger in using the -K option.
- (g) Corrects improper treatment of document files
- with prefixes below minimum size (which may mean only
- supplemental dictionary files).
-
- FONTFILE 3.2 -- Read-only fix.
-
- FONTLIST 4.1 -- (a) Encryption and read-only fixes.
- (b) Misleading error message fixed.
-
- LISTMACS 3.1 -- (a) Optional sorting by file extension.
- (b) Fix failure to list Ctrl-K key.
- (c) Read-only fix.
- (d) Handles extended characters in ascii output.
-
-
- MAKETABS 2.2 -- Handles high ascii characters in input file.
-
- MASTER 1.1 -- (a) Allows combining of single letter options on
- command line.
- (b) Encryption and read-only fixes.
- (c) Fix bug in handling large numbers of files.
-
- MERGESUM 3.3 -- (a) Fixed bug in using 5.1 format output with 5.0
- document summaries.
- (b) Encryption fix (output notes that file is
- protected).
- (c) New option uses top of document for
- abstract/comment field if summary exists but that
- field is blank.
- (d) New option replaces abstract/comment field by top
- of document.
- (e) New option processes only files with specified
- date or later.
- (f) Allows combining single letter options on command
- line.
- (g) Minor bug fixes in treewalking, use of top of
- document and elsewhere.
-
-
- PRINTIT 2.1 -- (a) Increased limit on size of offset specified on
- command line.
- (b) Accepts / as well as - as command line switch.
-
-
- STYLIST 3.1 -- (a) Optional sorting by file extension.
- (b) Encryption and read-only fixes.
-
- STYLEUSE 1.2 -- (a) Allows combining of single letter options on
- command line.
- (b) Encryption fix.
- (c) Reduced likelihood of crashing when treewalking
- through complex directory structures with large
- numbers of files, and better error messages when
- problems do arise.
- (d) Improved error handling. When problems arise,
- input file is now left intact. This reduces the
- danger in using the -K option.
- (e) Fixed bugs in removing style codes from body of
- document where styles are in substructures, such as
- headers, text boxes, etc.
-
- TARGETS 2.2 -- Encryption and read-only fixes.
-
- WHATPTRS 4.1 -- (a) Read-only fix.
- (b) Allows combining S and L options (-SL).
-
- WPSNOOP 7.1 -- (a) Better information on files for WPCorp products
- other than WordPerfect.
- (b) Encryption and read-only fixes.
-
- WP5LOOK 4.0 -- This program has been substantially rewritten. Many
- of the changes will not be obvious to users. The
- following changes are more obvious.
- (a) Optionally does not reformat paragraphs to fit
- screen width, instead permitting lines of over 250
- characters, with the screen manually scrolled
- horizontally to permit viewing.
- (b) Invoking program without filespec on command line
- produces prompt for filespec, optional pick list if
- filespec has wildcards. Help now available through
- command line parameter rather than absence of filespec
- on command line.
- (c) /M command line parameter to force mono display,
- thus overriding default color selection.
- (d) /W command line parameter, same function as W
- key.
- (e) Optional configuration file for command line
- parameters.
- (f) Additional filespec may be inserted while
- processing other filespecs. Inserted filespec is
- processed before pending filespecs.
- (g) Bug involving reported page numbers fixed.
- (h) Encrypted and read-only fixes.
- (i) Bug that sometimes resulted in displaying, as the
- first thing in a file, a word from the previous file.
- (j) Now displays non-WP5 files, using a different
- display and command structure.
- (k) /P command line parameter to force use of pick
- lists, P command to invoke pick lists of /P not used.
