- Version 3.4.5 - July 9, 1990
-
- Fixed a problem in the handling of "Authenticated" ZIPs that resulted
- in an "Invalid Central Directory" message from FFF.
-
- Version 3.4.4 - June 29, 1990
-
- Fixed a problem that caused FFF to hang if it encountered an FFF
- Environment Variable containing only disk specifiers, i.e:
-
- SET FFF=ABCD
-
- Thanks to Rick Hallowell for reporting this bug.
-
- Version 3.4.3 - June 20, 1990
-
- Fixed a problem in the pattern matched with patterns of the form
- "???abc" or "abc???".
- Added a "key test" routine to allow the user to abort FFF at any time
- during the search by pressing the "ESC" key.
- FFF can now display the date, in the "verbose" mode, in any of three
- forms at the user's option: "International", i.e. yy-mm-dd,
- "Military", i.e. dd Mmm yy, or "U.S.", i.e mm/dd/yy.
-
- Version 3.4.2 - June 16, 1990
-
- Corrected an error in the new pattern matcher that affected patterns
- of the form '*abcd*'.
- Compiled with Turbo C++ 1.0.
-
- Version 3.4.1 - June 15, 1990
-
- This version existed only to correct some bad uploads. The wrong ZIP
- file was uploaded to CompuServ and several other systems. There was
- no change in the internals.
-
- Version 3.4.0 - June 12, 1990
-
- Installed a new pattern matcher to fix a number of holes in the
- enhanced pattern matching.
- Added a new option, '-c', to allow output in lower case instead of
- the default upper case - much easier on the eyes!
-
- Version 3.3.3 - May 30, 1990
-
- Fixed a format problem in showing the date and time for a file within
- an ARC (or PAK) file correctly.
-
- Version 3.3.2 - March 23, 1990
-
- Fixed still another problem in the MATCH routine that prevented FFF
- from finding files matching the "*.xxx" pattern.
-
- Version 3.3.1 - February 25, 1990
-
- Fixed yet another problem in the MATCH routine that prevented FFF
- from finding files matching the "*.xxx" pattern".
-
- Version 3.3.0 - January 26, 1990
-
- Fixed a major error introduced in version 3.2.0 that prevented FFF
- from finding files inside of archives! Add the ability to "stack"
- options (i.e "-acv" as well as "-a -v -f". Made the source
- compatible with Microsoft C 5.1 as well as Turbo C 2.0 and introduce
- a MAKEFILE for Microsoft C. Minor speed-ups in the pattern matching
- routine and in the directory searching routines.
-
- Version 3.2.2 - January 24, 1990
-
- Repaired the match() routine. The old routine said that ONLINE.C1
- matched the pattern *1.*. Since ONLINE does not end with 1, the
- match was erroneous. Thanks to Terry Shankland for reporting the
- error.
-
- Version 3.2.1 - January 20, 1990
-
- Repaired the processing of the FFF Environment Variable. Disk
- specifiers terminating with a ":" caused the system to "hang". The
- two new options, created in version 3.2.0, caused FFF to become a
- "NOP" if they were specified in the Environment Variable.
-
- Version 3.2.0 - January 12, 1990
-
- At the request of user's, a '-q' option has been added to suppress
- the statistics output.
-
- A '-f' option has been added that changes the format of the date in
- the verbose output from the "military" form - numeric day followed by
- three character alphabetic month followed by numeric year - to a
- format that can be more readily sorted - YY/MM/DD.
-
- With this version, multiple patterns can be specified and FFF will
- search for all of them in a single pass.
-
- Version 3.1.1 - December 17, 1989
-
- At the suggestion of several users, FFF now has a hard-coded default
- disk to search, the "current disk". This hard-coded default will be
- overridden by any disks specified in the FFF Environment Variable and
- any disks specified on the command line will override both the
- hard-coded default and any disks specified in the FFF Environment
- Variable.
-
- Version 3.1.0 - December 7, 1989
-
- At the suggestion of a user, FFF will now process and Environment
- Variable, "FFF", to establish its defaults. Unfortunately, on the
- day that I was reading the suggestion, I was on a VERY noisy line and
- a noise burst caused CompuServ to delete the message and disconnected
- by line before I could make a note of who it was making the
- suggestion!
-
- Irv Hoff convinced me that the LZH and PAK archives are more common
- that I had thought so the processing of those archive types was added
- to this version of FFF before I had planned on doing so. Other
- archive types will, at some time in the future, also be added,
- however, I have to get a current version of the archive program that
- produces them first. Since I, and none of my "clients", have any LZH
- or PAK archives on my system, the processing of them has NOT been
- heavily tested! Approximately 200 LZH and PAK archives, that were
- specially created for the purpose, have been processed correctly.
-
- Version 3.0.1 - December 3, 1989
-
- This version was purely a maintenance release! The executable and
- documentation for Version 2.1.1 was inadvertently inserted into
- FFF300.ZIP instead of the correct versions.
-
- Version 3.0.0 - November 22, 1989
-
- This version contained a major improvement in performance
- (approximately 25%) in processing ZIP archives.
-
- Version 2.1.1 - November 15, 1989
-
- The '-p' option to paginate the output every 23 lines was added in
- this version at the suggestion of a user.
-
- Version 2.1.0 - November 1, 1989
-
- The '-v' option to cause FFF to show the size, date, and time for a
- "found" file was added in this version at the suggestion of a user.
-
- Version 2.0.0 - October 19, 1989
-
- First public release.
