- Dear Loyal Arachnophilia Fans:
-
- The current version of Arachnophilia is posted here for
- downloading. Arachnophilia is CareWare, no money is required
- but you have to *Care*.
-
- Read the CareWare help page in Arachnophilia, or visit
- the CareWare topic on my home page, for more
- information about the CareWare idea.
-
- For a full Arachnophilia install, or if
- you downloaded before build 1633,
- download arach_full.zip (has current required DLLs).
-
- If you have already downloaded a full version of
- Arachnophilia, (post build 1632) or you own some
- Microsoft end-user products such as Office, you may
- only need to download arach_sml.zip (no DLLs).
-
- If you have already downloaded either the full or
- small version (post build 1632), and you only want
- to update your executable (the place where most of
- the revisions take place), you may download
- arach_exec.zip, the executable-only package (no support
- files, no setup program). Just drop the unpacked contents
- of this file into your Arachnophilia program directory.
-
- --------- Revision History -------------------
-
- 1/30/97 Release 1.5 Build 1730 --
- Corrected bug in right-click negotiation
- code that sometimes allowed an undefined
- file type to launch a file dialog.
-
- 1/29/97 Release 1.5 Build 1729 --
- Fixed small bug in special keyboard character
- generator.
-
- 1/27/97 Release 1.5 Build 1728 --
- This "build" simply includes a DLL
- file that people are reporting as missing,
- suddenly and without warning -- msvcrt.dll.
- This DLL file has not been needed before,
- but many are now reporting the program will
- not run without it. There are no other changes.
- You may also download this DLL file separately
- from my site to save time.
-
- 1/25/97 Release 1.5 Build 1727 --
- Added file dialog for local HTML file links,
- wrote path resolver to provide relative paths
- in links to local resources not copied to
- project directory. This makes multi-directory
- sites more portable and consistent with server
- file path conventions.
-
- 1/19/97 Release 1.5 Build 1689 --
- Changed all program and TBD file
- HTML tags to UPPERCASE, added quotes to
- tag fields that require them, in general
- cleaned up Arachnophilia's HTML syntax
- in several ways. This doesn't mean
- an Arachnophilia page (or any page!) will pass
- all HTML validation checkers -- each requires
- different things and (more important) browsers
- like tags that HTML validators don't.
-
- 1/16/97 Release 1.5 Build 1688 --
- Replaced default command-line handler
- with one that accepts multiple files
- and restores long file names. Multiple file
- icons can now be dropped on the Arachnophilia
- program icon to open a small number of files.
- For a very large number of files, drop the
- icons on the open program window instead.
-
- 1/15/97 Release 1.5 Build 1685 --
- Added support for Java source file type,
- corrected small error in Beautify routine
- to accommodate Java files.
-
- 12/29/96 Release 1.4 Build 1671 --
- Added date & time functions,
- corrected some errors in default tags.
-
- 12/24/96 Release 1.4 Build 1660 --
- Corrected bug which, under rare
- circumstances, would save one file
- under the name of another, if user exits
- without saving changed files first.
- I recommend that all download this fix.
-
- 12/23/96 Release 1.4 Build 1658 --
- Added support for a tab token in .TBD command
- files and the provided Excel 7.0 spreadsheet.
- Use \t to create tabs in your page, but remember
- that actual tabs are used as a delimiter in
- the .TBD files, so only the token \t should
- be used.
-
- 12/16/96 Release 1.4 Build 1656 --
- Added RTF conversion options to accept
- extended characters literally and to
- accept "<" and ">" literally. Also
- added tags and Help file section for
- working with Microsoft Front Page.
-
- 12/10/96 Release 1.4 Build 1655 --
- Fixed some minor typographical errors
- in the help screens and in the frames
- tag set.
-
- 12/6/96 Release 1.4 Build 1654 --
- Corrected bug which double-spaced
- lines between <PRE> ... </PRE> tags
- in the preview temp file.
-
- 12/5/96 Release 1.4 Build 1653 --
- Corrected file closing sequence bug
- that would crash the program in
- very particular circumstances
- (rarely but not never, and a crash
- is a crash).
-
- 12/4/96 Release 1.4 Build 1644 --
- Corrected bug in HTML converter
- that would crash application in
- a rare combination of conditions.
-
- 12/3/96 Release 1.4 Build 1635 --
- Corrected bug in HTML converter
- that looped endlessly when converting
- complex tabbed document.
-
- 12/3/96 Release 1.4 Build 1634 --
- Found and corrected a rare combination
- of circumstances that would crash the
- program after a right-click.
-
- 12/2/96 Release 1.4 Build 1633 --
- Updated compiler to C++ 4.2. This
- will solve a number of system bugs,
- but it requires a full download because
- the DLLs have changed.
-
- 12/2/96 Release 1.4 Build 1631 --
- Modified file dialog to allow operation
- on Windows NT 3.51. The change only affects
- operation on that OS version.
-
- 12/1/96 Release 1.4 Build 1625 --
- Corrected list conversion bug in
- HTML converter routine. This bug
- prevented suppression of the original
- numbers in a numbered (ordered) list,
- resulting in two numbers per line.
-
- 11/29/96 Release 1.4 Build 1624 --
- Correctly synchronized menu enabling of
- Edit ... Select All with file state.
- Small change.
-
- 11/29/96 Release 1.4 Build 1620 --
- Corrected second-order delete key error.
-
- 11/28/96 Release 1.4 Build 1618 --
- Corrected Delete key bug -- I actually
- didn't know this use of the delete key
- when I captured it for a different purpose.
- Now the delete key behaves as you would expect
- on single characters, plus it allows
- Power Undo to recover from deletions
- of more than one character.
-
- 11/26/96 Release 1.4 Build 1613 --
- Corrected error in default toolbars --
- specifically in the .TBD file
- "Links-Sound.tbd". The DocRef link
- <A href="link" alt="">|</A> is incorrect, it
- should be <A name="link" alt="">|</A>.
- You must download the full or small version
- to get this change, or you can simply edit
- your own .TBD file (or run the Excel
- spreadhsheet "arachnophilia command sets.xls"
- in your programn directory) -- this is
- one reason why my program is customizable.
-
- 11/25/96 Release 1.4 Build 1611 --
- Thought up way to speed up the
- Site Analyzer document generator.
-
- 11/25/96 Release 1.4 Build 1610 --
- Improved Site Analyzer, added menu,
- added document option.
-
- 11/25/96 Release 1.4 Build 1518 --
- Cleaned up memory leak created in
- new Site Analyzer facility.
-
- 11/25/96 Release 1.4 Build 1515 --
- Added a tree list dialog to the Site
- Analyzer -- a very useful feature that
- allows one to interactively examine
- resource calls by clicking list nodes.
-
- 11/24/96 Release 1.3 Build 1331 --
- Corrected bug (again!) which prevented detection
- of file suffixes while Explorer hides suffixes
- of registered file types, also corrected bug
- which prevented detection of .SHTML file type.
- Now (more strictly) detects .HTM, .HTML, .SHTML
- file types (case insensitive), all as HTML
- file type. Rejects filenames with
- more or fewer characters than these
- in the suffix.
-
- 11/22/96 Release 1.3 Build 1329 --
- Found and corrected an inconsistency
- in shutdown file save procedure, improved
- correspondence of file changed status
- indication with true file state.
-
- 11/21/96 Release 1.3 Build 1327 --
- Added support for .H filetype as
- a subcategory of the C++ file type.
- Fixed bug in file detection routine.
-
- 11/20/96 Release 1.3 Build 1322 --
- Caught Beautifier bug that allowed
- it to reformat HTML in a page that
- contained JavaScript. Now only reads
- and formats the script segments.
-
- 11/20/96 Release 1.3 Build 1321 --
- Revised HTML converter to avoid crossed
- tag condition where possible. Tags now
- close in the reverse order they opened
- if the RTF block reflects this.
-
- 11/20/96 Release 1.3 Build 1306 --
- Tuned script beautifier to accommodate
- some boundary conditions. Small change.
-
- 11/19/96 Release 1.3 Build 1305 --
- Added Script Beautifier, my answer
- to the lack of something like UNIX's
- "cb" command. Works on Perl, CGI,
- JavaScript and C++ files. Added
- support for C++ files.
-
- 11/19/96 Release 1.2 Build 1304 --
- Fixed incorrect version reference
- in Save Changed dialog.
-
- 11/19/96 Release 1.2 Build 1302 --
- Solved the blank toolbar bug -- it had
- to do with the behavior of a particular
- video adaptor card running under
- Windows 95. Only that card, only that
- OS. Sigh.
-
- 11/18/96 Release 1.1 Build 1256 --
- Another try at solving the blank
- toolbar problem. Completely rewrote
- the toolbar generator. It would
- be much easier if I could see
- an example of this bug.
-
- 11/18/96 Release 1.1 Build 1255 --
- Another effort to fix a bug I haven't seen,
- the missing button labels on some systems.
- Also fixed incorrect background color tag
- on RTF converter output.
-
- 11/17/96 Release 1.1 Build 1252 --
- correct button sizing method to
- respond to bug report about no
- print on buttons on a small number of
- systems. Can't test this
- bug, more or less shooting in
- the dark.
-
- 11/17/96 Release 1.1 Build 1251 --
- correct divide-by-zero error caused by
- coloring tags of zero-length HTML document.
-
- 11/17/96 Release 1.1 Build 1250 --
- correct serious bug in Open and Save routines --
- prevented detection of file type if Explorer
- didn't show full paths in directory listings.
-
- 11/15/96 Release 1.0 Build 1244 --
- correct uppercase filename error,
- add support for .SHTML file type.
-
- 11/15/96 Release 1.0 Build 1242 --
- add support for accelerator keys
- ^b = bold, ^i = italic, ^u = underline.
-
- 11/14/96 Release Version 1.0
