- The following fixes have been made to FASTSORT since it's release:
-
- Version Fixes
- ------- --------------------------------------------------------
- 1.00 - First Release
-
- 1.10 - Output records were not written when disk sort required.
- - Added formatting items %m, %mm, %y, %d, %p to the TITLE,
- and FOOTER strings.
-
- 1.20 - Fixed a problem with very large files. Records were not
- being sorted correctly.
-
- 1.30 - Fixed a few of the messages.
- - Changed registration form to include question about where you
- obtained a copy of the program.
- - Uploaded to CompuServ.
-
- 1.40 - Ranges of records in the SORT-FILE command were not processed
- unless spaces were placed before and after the parenthesis.
- - Records longer than the maximum specified length were not being
- truncated (as the documentation specifies) but were split into
- multiple lines. This caused the record count and the output to
- be incorrect.
-
- 1.50 - Fixed processing for DBASEIII file type.
- - Fixed EZSORT to write the output TYPE. It used to leave it
- blank even when one was specified.
-
- 1.51 - Fixed STABLE command accross multiple files. Specially when
- used in conjuction with UNIQUE to retain the first occurance
- of a record, not just ONE occurance of a record.
-
- 1.52 - Added COUNT of output records for PRINT-LEVEL > 3. Usefull
- for large files, so you know the system didn't hang up!
-
- 1.53 - Fixed a problem that crashed the sort when disk batches were
- used. Problem occured only when exactly 2 disk batches were
- needed. If more than 2 were needed, everything worked ok.
-
- 1.60 - Fixed problem with SELECT/EXCLUDE. Part bug (with multiple
- operations on single select/exclude) and part documentation
- problem. See new description of SELECT/EXCLUDE.
-
- Documented the continuation character (&), used to enter a
- command on several lines. The total number of characters
- allowed per command is 255 (not counting leading or trailing
- spaces).
-
- ** Added the READ-FILEs feature. You don't have to SORT the
- file(s), you can just read the records and apply the select/
- exclude and/or re-formating options.
-
- ** Enhanced the PAD feature of the WRITE-FILE command. Now PAD
- defaults to a length of one, and the space char. Example:
-
- WRITE + PAD '(' F 1,3 PAD ')' PAD F 4,7 PAD '-' F 8,11
-
- produces "(123) 456-7890".
