- RV-RView, Version 2.44 07-May-92
-
-
- Some changes from Version 2.43 include:
-
- 1) It's written in a different language.
-
- 2) Listings may be sorted by Name, Extension, Date, Original size, Packed
- size, compression Ratio, or left Unsorted. Appending a hyphen ('-') to
- the appropriate switch (SN, SE, SD, SO, SP, SR) reverses the sort order
- from ascending to descending.
-
- 3) The program no longer searches your path for RV.CFG. If not in the
- current directory when RView is loaded, then any (optional) RV.CFG should
- be placed in the same directory as RV.EXE (DOS 3.0 and higher).
-
- 4) The contents of RV.CFG should be a bit more structured, i.e. should
- resemble command-line arguments more.
-
- 5) The -I switch now signifies that RV.CFG should be ignored.
-
- 6) The meaning of the /A switch has completely changed. The functionality
- of the previous /A is available by combining switches either on the
- command line, or in RV.CFG.
-
- 7) The /L switch has been discontinued.
-
- 8) The /N switch has been discontinued. The equivalent new switch is /SU.
-
- 9) A new /Q switch suppresses listings completely.
-
- Although it should make little difference from the *user's* point of view,
- rewriting in a different language ultimately will make it easier for me from
- a program-maintenance standpoint. [The program uses a common "library" of
- routines shared with other programs I've written, including a scrollable
- version of RView I've been toying around with (and shelving) off-and-on for
- some time now.]
