-
- ENHANCEMENTS TO MORSEMAN
-
-
- VERSION 1.0/1.01 - January 18, 1989
-
-
- 1.0 2> There was a bug in the random character generator mode. If you
- try to increase speed to above around 20 wpm, there is a noticeable
- delay between characters. This delay was intentionally placed in
- the source code for a good separation between characters for beginners
- and novices. This delay was supposed to be deactivated if the speed
- was set above 18 wpm, but apparently the flag wouldn't set properly.
-
- 1.0 3> There is still a noticeable click in the characters being sent.
- If you don't set the speed above 30 wpm or so, it isn't very bother-
- some, but after that, it gets kind of annoying. I'll try and get
- that worked out soon.
-
- 1.0 4> The speed setting is fairly accurate up to around 30 wpm, then
- it gets a little off. I an working on an algorithm that will measure
- speed between characters and will be accurate on all machines regard-
- less of the microprocessor used. This will be implemented in the
- next version.
-
- 1.0 5> In the tutor mode, if you try to exit to the main mode, you
- will not be able to exit to it by hitting a <9>. If you are
- running version 1.0 beta, then you will have to go to a mode and
- then press <=> to get back to the main menu. If you are running
- version 1.01 beta or 1.01, this problem has been solved.

- VERSION 2.0 - March 24, 1989
-
-
- 2.0 1> The 256 character limit on text file creation has been removed.
- Files of almost unlimited size may be created now.

- blinking text screen.
-
- 2.0 6> Ending signals (AR, BK, ect) has been added. See KEYBOARD mode

- the program if an error occurs.
-
-
- VERSION 2.01 - April 3, 1989
-
- 2.01 1> A bug (a very simple source code error on my behalf) was
- discovered that would not print a "J" even after it sounded it.
- That was corrected in version 2.01.
-
- 2.01 2> Another bug was discovered in the "text send" mode. It would
- start a new line with each new word. That was corrected in version

-
- 2.1 1> Different sounds were added for transfer between menus.

- any type of SHELL or FILES commands.
-
