-
- This tool may be especially useful for all you BBS SysOps, running your

-
- Installation
- --------------------------
-
- Just copy W.F.M.H. MaxManager executable and AmigaGuide online help file
- to your most favourite directory and run or better user supplied
- installer script (needs Commodore's Installer program, not included in
- the archive), which is expected to install all files correctly.
-
-
- Demo version
- --------------------------
-
- Program included in this archive is supposed to be demonstration
- version of W.F.M.H. MaxManager. Demo version is crippled a bit. All SAVE
- function and almost all internal file access routines are unavailable
- until you register. Few other smaller functions won't work too.
-
-
- Distribution
- --------------------------
-
- W.F.M.H. MaxManager is a shareware program. You may freely
- distribute it as long as all of its files are included in their
- original form without additions, deletions or modifications of any
- kind, and only a nominal fee is charged for its distribution. It cannot
- be distributed as a part of commercial product without author's written
- permission. If you like it and use it, the author encourage you to
- register. The shareware fee is USA $20. Registered users will be
- shipped a disk containing the latest release version of W.F.M.H.
- MaxManager. By cooperating with this concept you help to ensure
- continued development of this product. Please send your registration
- card (Orderform) and money (cash) to address below.
-
-
- Requirements
- --------------------------
-
- W.F.M.H. MaxManager requires at least MAX's BBS databases to work on
- and MUI3.1+ (as it takes adventage of Balancing Groups, Bubble Helps)
- to run.
-
-
- How to register
- --------------------------
-
- To register send US$20 or DM30 to the author:
-
- Marcin Orlowski
- ul. Radomska 38
- 71-002 Szczecin
- Poland
-
- Remember: amount of users of this kind of tool won't rather be greater than
- total number of MAX's BBS running worldwide, so if you steal this program
- there simply won't be newer version anymore. Just remember: program worth
- using is worth buying. Support shareware!

-
- Program history:
- --------------------------------------
-
- (20.11.95)
-
- - First public release
-
-
- (24.11.95)
-
- - Second release - compiled with 68000 codes (sorry for
- previous 040 version... :(
-
-
- (07.01.96)
-
- - From now MaxManager is MUI3+ requireable!
-
- - Balancing groups added (taste it in main or config window)
- - Preferences and config files moved to "Config" subdir
- - External support for SleepIcon added
- - Fixed bug in MUI notification in EditEntry window
- causing MM to break if you pressed enter in Description field
- - Progress window is now log window, storing history of your
- session. You can open the log window in any time from the
- menu. You can save the log or even print it.
- - Added user definable patterns (see prefs and PatternMatch)
- - I/O functions use now buffered OS calls, which is expected
- to increase the I/O performance.
- - MoveFiles shouldn't refuse to move files on the disk any more.
- - Switchable file list header (Note: overprinting is caused
- by MUI's bug, not mine...)
- - Hunt pattern may be automatically expanded by MM with #? at
- the begining and the end of the pattern to make hunting easier
- (of course you may switch this off)
- - Added "List only" feature for Hunt causing all matching files
- to be logged.
- - MM takes usage of AppWindow, so you can drop any WB icon on
- the file list to easily change the work directory
- - Preferences files are moved to "Config" subdirectory
- - SleepIcon added (change "Config/MaxManagerSleep.info"
- if you don't like mine.
- - User lists attached to the "Uploader" etc. strings
- - Added menu "Settings" and its contents (MM prefs call
- and MUI prefs call)
- - MM checks now if total #of files in filebase is correct
- (doesn't check the count of separate sections, yet)
- - BubbleHelps available
-
-
- (28.01.96)
-
- - EditSection/Apply now works
- - If there're deleted files in the base, the Statistics will show you
- the amount of bytes taking by those files
- - Patterns are now saved in the config file...
- - Hunt - GoInLeft, GoInRight buttons allowing you to select the listview
- you want to use for future operation of found file.
- - Sections are now sorted by name. Unfortunately you can't switch back
- to old sorting (by sections' number) for now, but I'll fix this soon.
- - Prefs: Saving Sections-2-Drawers-Attachmens will fix changes made to this
- part of configuration. There's no undo! Clicking "Cancel" will cancel
- all changes except those made in the Sections-2-Drawers part.
- - Optimizer: RemoveWithDownCount and RemoveOldFiles optimizers added
- - Rename added
- - Import: Add-And-Move added.
- - Fixed bug causing MM not to find files being located in default file path
- - Local Optimizer added. Enter section and click "Optimize" to mess in one
- section only.
-
- - SIDE EFFECT: Reenter the section with deleted files to get them grouped
- together.
-
-
- (19.04.96)
-
- - ARexx port implemented.
- - While looking for disk file availability, the DefaultSectionPath
- was ommited. Fixed.
- - Log window now shares program menus with main.
- - Bubble Helps are now switchable.
- - Added shortcuts to the Hunt panel (refer docs)
- - Right listview slider moved to the right.
- - It's now possible to match file comments as well in PatternMatch
- while processing file database as well as diskfiles
- - Added shortcuts to the PatternMatch shortcuts (refer manual for
- details)
- - MatchPattern sometimes ignores 1st element on the list. No more.
- - Preferences layout changed a bit.
- - Removed unnecessary parts of code (program is relatively shorted).
- - Added FlushDeleted menu item, allowing you to remove (permanently!)
- deleted files without saving whole filebase.
- - Fixed serious bug in internal list handling routine, causes MaxManager,
- to report errors after removing last added files. It causes edit
- errors and other nice things... Fixed of course.
- - Improved Prefs/AddNewNew routine. No more well-known and annoying
- "« Another node config »:" rubbish.
- - Saving program preferences saves Sections2DrawersAttachments as well
- - Load/ReloadAttachments now clears all attachments before it starts
- to read new.
- - Added Prefs/Paths/Attachments/Clr All button allowing you to remove
- all attachments with one click.
- - Small compiler error causing "Error saving... file may be corrupted"
- message to appear every time (even all files were saved correctly)
- worked around now.
