** FIXED.SD **************************************************************

This file describes the bugs fixed in StupenDOS 5.0, and the new features
that have been added.

Some of the bugs mentioned in this file are bugs in previous beta
versions, and did not occur in the 4.0 release version.

**************************************************************************

* Fixed problem with files disappearing from the ZIP screen after using TYPE.
  Turning off the setuP | External programs | List files | Update time/date
  in version 4 also fixes the problem.

* After executing a program or batch file that changes the default directory,
  SD will now reread the files after returning.

* Copying to a write protected floppy would try to copy each tagged file.  It
  will now abort after the write protect error is displayed.

* The -b option didn't work when deleting files with PKZIP, this has been
  fixed.

* The Current directory number displayed while selecting a directory within
  Prune And Graft was not always correct.  Fixed.

* The file finder acted strangely when files were being displayed, and the
  mouse cursor was on the screen.  Fixed.

* If the number of windows was set to TWO, and you specified two different
  directories on the command line, the second window would not display the
  correct directory.  Fixed.

* The Reread after ZIP/UNZIP didn't work for zipping. Fixed.

* After running a ZIP operation, the sort method was reset to the default
  method.  Fixed.

* After using Unzip | View to console, SD will remain in the UNZIP screen. It
  used to go back to the main screen.

* Added a counter to the LOCATE function.  Press '/' to try it.

* Added some information to the More | Byte Info option.

* After executing a file (like list), the filelist was usually reread.  This
  has been fixed.

* Clicking on a file, and then dragging the mouse did not work if the mouse
  was not released after selecting a file.  Fixed.

* The '/' match function would crash if no matching files were found.  Fixed.

* If you have OVERWRITE turned off during a copy, the warning message
  displayed could be truncated if the destination path was too long.  The
  message was previously truncated too short, this has been fixed.

* Added a 28 line screen mode (look under setuP | Video | Monitor)

* Added file coloring to the file finder and ZIP/UNZIP screens.

* Added "Drag And Tag" to the ZIP and UNZIP screens.

* Typing 'Y' in the ZIP or UNZIP screens wouldn't work if the file in the
  ZIP was encrypted.  This now reports a error message.

* Many of you have asked for a "Wipe all tagged directories". This has been
  added.  The value for SD.PRO for this option is 11536.

   key:389;11536;           // Would make F11 wipe all tagged directories.

* After aborting a ZIP or UNZIP, the files will no longer be reread.

* After "Executing" a file that changed the current directory, SD will now
  set the current file window to that new directory.

* Added new input routine for CHANGE DRIVE.  Added PgUp/PgDn to the
  CHANGE DRIVE window.

* 4DOS descriptions are now displayed, if that option is enabled. To enable
  4DOS descriptions, you must set the option in the setuP | Other Options
  menu.

* If a long directory was wiped in the tree display, a lockup could result.

* You can select the screen blanker delay in the setup.

* On a network, the ".." directory was not always displayed, and sorting
  the files could cause a crash.

* Pressing '%' in the tree display will now display either the directories
  percentage of the disk, the number of files in the directory, or the size
  the directory occupies.

* A new directory (MKDIR) would not always be displayed in the correct spot
  in the filelist.  Fixed.

* After a prune/graft, the bytes free was not always updated properly.

* If you want your MOUSE character to be transparent, see the setuP | Mouse
  Options menu.

* Added the '/' Locate function to the TREE display.

* To make the mouse "auto locate" on pull down menu items, set the option
  in setuP | Mouse Options.

* Changed the text input routines used in the F5 change directory function.
  The SD.DIR file is now read when F5 is pressed, or whenever the directory
  is changed, like by pressing ENTER on "..", rather than when SD is first
  run.

* Pressing TAB in a file window containing no files could cause a crash.

* The Locate function works for directories now.
     K:309;11546;      // locate files and dirs with "ALT /"

* The zipping function will now ZIP tagged directories as well as files.  You
  MUST use the -rP options.  The 'p' must be UPPER CASE, or PKZIP will
  probably not store the files the way you want them.

   DIR
     ├ XXX   Contains file xfile
     └ YYY   Contains file yfile

   If the -rp is used, the ZIP file will contain

      XFILE
      YFILE

   If the -rP is used, the ZIP file will contain

      XXX\XFILE
      YYY\YFILE

* I have made several changes to the USR functions.  I added a PgUp and PgDn
  functions, and added a scrollbar.

* USR functions should now work with the mouse or the keyboard.

* New SD.INI item added:    SkipDrives = bcd
  This would not check the validity of drives B:, C: or D:.  Some of you
  have told me that you cannot log onto Bernoulli drives, or optical
  disks, so you can now force SD to skip checking these drives.

* If a file was viewed in the ZIP/UNZIP screen, the file could not be
  extracted unless you returned to the main screen, or changed a unzip
  option.  Fixed.

* The SPAWN routines are new, they are provided by Ralf Brown.  They are
  free routines, and they work really well.  These are the routines that
  run other programs, and automatically write SD.EXE to memory or disk.

* The 4DOS descriptions should update properly when copying files.

* Added

    USRScrollable = false

  to SD.INI.  This makes it so no scrollbar will appear for the USR area.
  The items can still be scrolled with the keyboard.

* You can now specify 'k' as an option in a USR definition.  So if you run
  a program that takes several ESC's to exit, sometimes SD would catch a few
  extra ESC's and SD may exit.  So you can now specify 'k' to clear the
  keyboard after running an external program.

   USR: VPIC;k;vpic %f    (Run VPIC on the highlighted file, clear the
                           keyboard when returning to SD)

* The statistics displayed after a disk is formatted are now cleared after
  each disk is formatted.

* The Change directory screen now has a F2 Reload list function.  Pressing F2
  will reload the original list from the disk.

* Rereading the directory after running an external program wasn't working
  properly, this has been fixed.

* The arrow keys didn't work properly in TAG BY DATE, fixed.

* Changed the print buffer size from 62K to 2K so it is easier to
  abort a print.

* Made some changes in the Prune and Graft code.  Some people have reported
  that when Pruning and Grafting, only the first file in each directory is
  copied.  I have been unable to duplicate this problem, so please let me
  know if you run across this problem.

* If you want to toggle the 4DOS description display, add this to SD.PRO:

    KEY:4;11060;        // CTRL D toggles 4DOS display

* The code for modifying 4DOS descriptions is 11070.  So add this to SD.PRO
  to make the '4' key modify the current files 4DOS description.

    KEY:52;11070;

  After you edit a 4DOS description, it is displayed on the screen if
  you have 4DOS descriptions being displayed (see toggling the 4DOS display
  above).  The changes are also saved to disk.

* If you had a USR item with the WAIT option set, if may not have worked
  properly.  This has been fixed.

* When CONFIRM DELETE is enabled, you could press F1 to delete a file, or F2
  to skip the file.  You can now also press ESC to abort the delete if you
  are deleting several files.

* If two file windows were open, a copy to a new filename would only
  display the file in the other file window.  This has been fixed so that
  the filename is displayed in both windows.

* The bottom line of the screen is now programmable.  See the end of the
  SD.PRO file for examples.

* Changing to a removable hard disk that wasn't ready would cause a crash.
  This has been fixed.

Here is a listing of legal programmable values:

* The "delete highlighted" didn't work properly if CONFIRM was selected.

* The Key commands to change drives didn't work properly.

* A new command has been added to open a second window and change to a
  specified directory.  The following shows two examples:

  usr: PCPLUS;12001;D:\PCPLUS // Open a second window and change to D:\PCPLUS
  key:1;12001;e:\dbase    // CTRL A will open a window and change to e:\dbase

* Added the ability to display the date of files in the YY-MM-DD format.

* Added commas to the filesize if the filesize is less than 1MB.

* The deleting of a ReadOnly file didn't work properly.

* Added a Secondary Sort option to the setup so you can configure a default
  secondary sort.

* NOTE: When you specify a program to view and edit files, you should specify
  the entire program name.  For example, if you use LIST.COM, and you
  currently specify

     LIST %f

  change this to:

     LIST.COM %f

  The routines I use seem to get confused if there is another file called
  LIST in the current directory.  The routines will call the LIST. file
  rather than LIST.COM, unless the .COM is specified.

* If you tried to UNZIP a non-zipfile, you get a "Bad ZIP File" message. If
  you then tried to LIST the file, you were not able to because the file had
  not been closed.  Fixed.
