- New in FastDial 2.00
- --------------------
- # Special thanks go to (in no special order) :
- # - Robert Galles
- # - Marcus Albrecht (the author of FDD from now on)
- # - Jose Manuel Perez
- # - Fred W. Papay
- # - Kris Verheyden
- # - Sven Rubben
- # for their support, for betatesting FD and for putting up with me :-)
-
- ! This is going to make a LOT of people happy :
- this FD supports an unlimited number of phone numbers
- (using pages of 10 numbers)
- You can assign a category to each page ... eg. a page for friends, one for
- work, ...
-
- ! FastDial DOS is now a fully featured program with ALMOST the same
- capabilities as the Windows version.
- - Support for max. 50 pages
- - No redial
- MADE BY Marcus Albrecht ... yes, this is right, I don't do this myself any
- more ...
- (Isn't it great when a user wants to participate ? I love it !)
-
- - Completely changed the look ... well, not completely, but a lot.
-
- - Added a buttonbar with icons and hotkeys. (BTW. STOP = Exit)
- (Hotkeys = idea of Carsten Esser)
-
- - (Again) changed the output format (last time) ... now, FASTDIAL.INI is what
- used to be fastdial.ini and fastdial.dat, in windows ini format, what makes
- it more or less readable for the users. (if you want to edit it ... ok,
- but be sure you have a backup)
- This format also allows VERY long numbers.
- (Long numbers : Jeffrey w. Blatt)
-
- - Now supports Alphabetic phone numbers. (like 1-800-FASTDIAL)
- (Jeffrey W. Blatt)
-
- - Added a Search function (on names and categories)
-
- - Put in a hidden window (oops ... should have been a secret ;-) )
-
- - Added a little gadget ... if you leave the Hangup string blank, FD won't hang
- up the phone, so you can exit FD and take over with your comm-program.
- (I haven't been able to do this, but maybe you can)

- New in FastDial 1.21
- --------------------
- - Sorry about such a hasty update, but just after release, i discovered that
- FastDial would generate an error if the data files didn't exist.
-
- New in FastDial 1.20
- --------------------
- - Fixed a bug that would leave a part of FastDial in memory after ALT-F4.
- (Dean Wiles)
-
- - Added a ATH0 after you press 'OK', this caused some problems with modems that
- wouldn't hang up.
- (Several people reported this)
-
- - Corrected SETUP.LST, this will fix the problem that setup crashed because
- VBRUN300.DLL isn't in the archive.
- (Also reported by several users)
-
- - Rewrote the saving of FastDial.dat, it is now possible to use pauses in your
- number (, -character), so you will be able to dial numbers as 555,1234
- Also included a program to convert your old config files to the new format.
- (Jeffrey W. Blatt)
-
- - Added the possibility to shut the speaker on your modem off.
- (Bertrand d'Arbonneau)
-
- - Added a redial feature where you can specify how many redials should occur
- and how much time should elapse between them.
- (Ma Kam Shuen)
-
- - Added the possibility to use your own strings for initialisation / dialing /
- hang-up / speaker off. This will allow user that are on an old 'pulse-dial'
- line to use FastDial.
- (Myself & Robert Galles)
-
- - Added a 'Manual dial' feature, wich allows you to call a number that isn't in
- the database, without having to give up automatic redial and such.
- (I thought of this one on my own)
-
- - Included FastDial Dos, so you can now dial from the dos prompt using your
- FastDial Database files.
