- HISTORY.DOC for ARJOPT
-
- 05/20/92 Version 1.41A - Added harderror_handler() to deal with drive
- access problems with greater "friendliness" than DOS - modified
- execute() and duplicate() to support this.
-
- 05/08/92 Version 1.41 - Rewrote main(), execute() and duplicate() to
- support re-entering ARJOPT with the same parameters upon
- completion of command execution. Added pause() to duplicate()
- to allow user to view what occurred. Only way to exit now is
- with ESC or Quit command. This not only allows user to view
- changes, but to "chain" processes without having to re-load.
- Modified the exit messages to reflect this change.
-
- 05/07/92 Version 1.40 - Replaced WILDARGS.OBJ with GLOBBER.C. This
- allows more flexible wildcard usage and provides for growth
- in the future. Altered main(), start(), get_files() and
- usage_display() to accommodate. Added parse(). Based GLOBBER.C
- on work by John Kercheval.
-
- Usage screen now summoned by "-h" or "-?" instead of default.
-
- Default changed to all files ("*").
-
- Added pause() to provide a break in multi-file list commands.
-
- Added source code package to the distribution.
-
- 05/03/92 Version 1.31 - Cleaned up source code in general.
- Pulled some items from ARJOPT.C into ARJOPT.H for clearer
- code.
-
- Rewrote duplicate() to copy original files date and time to
- the new file in the move and copy commands.
-
- 04/11/92 Version 1.30 - Removed all license and registration fees
- for ARJOPT. Copyright is maintained, but it is now FREEWARE.
-
- Added target directory available space checking to the copy
- and move commands. Failure to copy a file in move will abort
- the delete phase.
-
- Added "rename" for copying within the same drive - much faster.
-
- Added information message to user in the move and delete
- commands should the delete fail - Read-Only file and a few other
- categories.
-
- 02/22/92 Version 1.20 - increased the size of the Copy buffer to get
- better speed out of this function
-
- Added "Build_SFX" to the Add menu for building self-extracting
- archives - for those sending to others without ARJ.EXE.
-
- 10/06/91 Version 1.10 - finished "internationalization" of ARJOPT
- and made minor adjustments to error exiting and array size
- parameters.
-
- Added "auto-sensing" of extended screen (VGA and EGA) text
- modes. These modes will be used by ARJOPT if set as default
- upon loading.
-
- Ported entire project to Borland C++ to allow use of
- the country() function for uppercasing non-English
- characters. This looses the alphabetizing from wildcard
- expansion in Microsoft C. Compensation added by modifying
- first letter search to advance to NEXT match instead of first
- match. Uppercasing model provided by Robert Jung.
-
- Modified the video mode settings to work with emulator
- windows, like VPIX under *NIX and OS2's compatibility window.
- Discovered and tested by Zbig Tyrlik.
-
- 10/01/91 Version 1.02 - fixed a bug that caused Extract, Xtract and
- List to fail in version 1.01.
-
- 10/01/91 Version 1.01 - fixed a bug that caused improper directory
- display if two sub-directories existed within a directory
- in back-to-back alphabetical order or the last entry in
- a directory was a sub-directory.
-
- 9/29/91 Version 1.00 - finished and released
-
- 9/27/91 Version 3 beta - add several "rollover" cursor movements to
- the select window and cleaned up execute().
-
- 9/26/91 Version 2 beta - Robert Jung added a fast letter select
- feature to command menu bar and ENTER as a way of selecting
- files.
-
- 9/25/91 Version 1 beta - first version completed
