- Version 6.0d6 - 18 Oct 91
- =========================
-
- 1) Added support for new call - $3A, SetStdRefNum.
-
- 2) Removed $0D-Null from splash screen to make room for $3A-SetStdRefNum. Note that
- the user can still make a Null call, it just isn't displayed on the prompt screen
- (similar to the ResetCache call).
-
- 3) After scanning the remainder of the release notes, I realized that I never
- documented what I did for the ResetCache call. So, here goes! The Null and
- ResetCache calls do not appear on the prompt screen, due to space considerations.
- These two calls can still be made with the Exerciser, though. ResetCache was never
- supported by previous Exercisers, but I thought it would be handy to have in the
- Exerciser.DA for those times that you want to flush the GS/OS disk cache. I didn't
- bother putting it on the prompt screen because (1) there wasn't enough room, and
- (2) you don't need it all that often, anyway. I had to remove the Null prompt for
- the same two reasons.
-
- 4) Bug fix: The "N" command would inadvertently toggle the state of the "L" prompt.
- This has been fixed.
-
-
- Version 6.0d5 - 22 May 91
- =========================
-
- 1) Bug fix: GetFileInfo and Open parameter attributes fixed so that the Option List
- parameter is the last parameter that can be moved to using the down arrow key.
-
- 2) At Ron's request, I've added an rVersion resource, so that you don't have to drop
- into the Exerciser just to find out what the version number is. Instead, you can
- launch the Finder, open up a zillion folders to find the Exerciser, and then do a
- Get Info on the file. ;-)
-
-
- Version 6.0d4 - 22 May 91
- =========================
-
- 1) Bug fix: When the up arrow was used to move the input cursor up within the
- parameter block entry screen, and the cursor happened to move past an output
- parameter, the Exerciser would lose count of the number of parameters contained
- in the call. The problem has been fixed.
-
-
- Version 6.0d3 - 26 Feb 91
- =========================
-
- 1) Parameter #2 for the GetLevel call was incorrectly flagged as an output parameter.
- This has been corrected.
-
- 2) Two new parameters have been added to the GetRefInfo parameter block.
-
-
- Version 6.0d2 - 22 Feb 91
- =========================
-
- 1) Added flags and realVolName parameters for enhanced Format and EraseDisk calls.
-
- 2) Added characteristics and device_id parameters for enhanced Volume call.
-
- 3) Added level_mode parameter to GetLevel & SetLevel calls.
-
- 4) Added user_id parameter to the GetName call.
-
- 5) Fixed GetName and GetBootVolume table entries so that an actual result buffer
- is provided for the calls.
-
-
- Version 6.0d1 - 29 Jan 91
- =========================
-
- 1) Added support for JudgeName call.
-
- 2) Changed default GS/OS call class to class 1. (No more "k1<return>" when you
- initially launch the program.)
-
- 3) Changed default p_count from minimum to maximum and reworded p_count message on
- menu screen.
-
- 4) Added buffer length word initialization to option_list buffer.
-
- 5) Added support for new parameter to the Flush call.
-
- 6) Bug fix: GetFSTInfo was displaying the file_sys_id as an input parameter when it
- actually is a result. BRC #73591.
