Changes made for ConDir version 1.1 from 1.0
--------------------------------------------
* Hopefully cleaned up the curser handling a bit. A problem will still
exist if the user holds down a key for too long if the machine cannot keep
up. Not much more can be done here without some serious changes to the
entire program (and the Amiga and the compiler and the ...).
* Added option 'S' to the main screen. This allows the sysop (level 255)
to add the selected file to a specific file area. At this time, the program
doesn't check to see if the area exists or if it has an alternate directory
specified. Let me know if you would like to see these options added.
* Went back to maximum 78 column lines. I had reports that the screens
were garbled when running terminal programs with line wrap engaged.
* Size checking now works as advertised (I hope).
* The GUI makeconfig program now has all options available and they should
all work as advertised too. You can now specify the global "Check Sizes"
option and the individual (per directory) "Move Files" options. Read the
main docs about this if you don't know what these options are for. BTW, you
probably don't have to edit your config unless you happen to want to change
one or both of those two options.
Changes made for ConDir version 1.2 from 1.1
--------------------------------------------
* Sysop option 'S' now uploads the .readme file as a description if there
is one present. This is perhaps one of my favorite features at the present.
* Support for alternate description files added. sffiles.bbs, dirx.lst,
wildcat.txt, and files.bbs are now checked for and if found, used.
* Support has been added for up to 100 possible directories. I can add
support for more than that if anyone wants them. The MakeConfig utility
was updated to handle the 100 maximum. I have tested up to 64 directories
and haven't found any problems.
Changes made for ConDir version 1.3 from 1.2
--------------------------------------------
* RIP support (yes RIP!) has been added. Use the key RIP in the command
line to show RIP to the user. The RIP support is really, really BETA and
the only reason I am telling you it is there is so you can play with it
and give me some comments about it. The RIP graphics will be changing
in the near future to be cleaner and better looking. At the present, all
RIP is really used for is screen controls (instead of the keyboard).
* Major code cleanup in progress. I would appreciate if someone could
run enforcer and report any and all hits to me. I was having some guru
problems, but I hope these are fixed. I really don't know what caused
them, although I suspect it had something to do with memory allocation
issues.
Changes made for ConDir version 1.5 from 1.3
--------------------------------------------
NOTE: Version 1.4 was an internal BETA version.
* Screen set to raw internally making the cursor keys perform a heck
of a lot better. Now, you can hold down any of the cursor keys without
trashing the screen. Wish I would have found the rawcon() function
earlier.
* Cursor keys can now be used instead of the keypad. All the normal
kypad functions are still active.
* MAJOR bug caught. I'm hoping this is the one that caused all the
various problems I was having. Actually, I don't even know how the
program was working at all. I've been running betas of 1.4 for about
a month now and they seem awefully stable. Only had one crash I think
when a user tried to mark a file in the aminet game/misc dir, but I
believe this was fixed in a later revision.
* Proper return codes added for both ConDir and the MakeConfig
utility.
