- 1.41 06-06-1992
-
- - I started to take a licensing fee from corporate users. Sorry, I have
- no other income currently. I tried to make the prices reasonable, but if
- you feel the prices are too high for your casual use, you can try to
- bargain.
-
- - One '!' had disappeared from the env.c causing the /E not to work.
- Hopefully not many copies of the 1.40 version got out.
-
- 1.40 03-06-1992
-
- - DR-DOS 6 hangup solved by passing a valid looking BIOS Parameter Block
- at init.
-
- - Added a check for DR-DOS 5, since SRDISK did not seem to work with it
- unless sector size was 128 bytes. Under DR-DOS 5 sector size now
- forced to 128 bytes.
-
- - resolve_drive() now finds drive letters even if driver loaded high
- with some upper memory manager utility. Also if driver not found,
- disks should be configurable anyway as 1:, 2:, etc. - although better
- would be to tell the drive letter in CONFIG.SYS.
-
- - Disk size 1 with /F:1 to get rid of drive not ready reports.
-
- - Unless forced sector/cluster/root dir sizes, adjust them properly.
-
- - Have srdisk handle allocation of known types of memory. Also enhanced
- allocation to hopefully work better with DesqView.
-
- - Reorganized source to several files. Also many other minor changes and
- source beautifying.
-
- - Multiplex interrupt interface changed a bit.
-
- - Borland C++ 3.0 produced bad code handling long integers and thus the
- beginning of FAT was a little wrong. Changed the code to one not
- having a bug.
-
-
-
- 1.30 18-01-1992
-
- - Changed to freeware from public domain
-
- - Changed the driver control from IOCTL calls to multiplex interrupt.
-
- - Added support for over 32M RAM drives (up to 4096M). Over 32M drives
- need DOS 4+ because they use over 0xFFFF sectors.
-
- - Added /V switch for program verbosity control. /Y now only forces the
- disk format, it does not make the program less verbose.
-
- - Support for chained drivers. These drivers all contribute memory for
- the same virtual drive. Added switch /M to control how much memory may
- be used by each driver in the chain.
-
- - Formatting reads the root directory to find out if there is anything
- that would be destroyed. If not, it will not ask for permission to
- destroy.
-
- - Added /E switch to set environment variables SRDISKn to show srdisk
- drives.
-
- - Scans Drive Parameter Table on DOS 2 and 3 to find the drive letters,
- if necessary.
-
-
-
- 1.20 04-10-1991
-
- - Fixed name of program by adding the missing 'Re' to 'Sizeable'.
-
- - Added 16 bit FAT support; more 'sizeable' disks that had over 4077
- clusters were not operational. Due to DOS's inconsistent behaviour,
- disks with over 4077 and under 4088 clusters (or over 65518, possible
- with 128 byte clusters and 8M disk size) are avoided by making
- clusters bigger.
-
- - Added DOS lookalike disk formats via switch /F.
-
- - The FAT number is now defined via switch /A instead of /F.
-
- - The time of format is stored in volume label.
-
- - Upgraded to IOCTL_msg version 1.20 which tells the type of memory used
- by the driver.
-
- - Disallow sectors greater than 512 bytes as DOS can not handle them
- properly but rather crashes when it encounters them.
-
- - Allow clusters up to 8 kilobytes.
-
- - Enhanced help.
-
-
-
- 1.10 06-09-91
-
- - Added full support for multiple FATs. 1.00 had the /F switch, but no
- support for it in formatter.
-
- - Updated to IOCTL_msg versio 1.10 so that media byte is no longer used
- to indicate the media change but to indicate the drive is RAM disk.
-
- - Some minor fixes.
