-
- (*) The new macros "startx" and "starty", which may be used instead of
- absolute cursor positions (control character "%"), will return the
- coordinates of the cursor BEFORE CURSORY was started
-
- (*) By pressing ALT-M (ASCII 230, german keyboard) the local detection
- of special keys (e. g. cursor keys) can be disabled and re-enabled.
- If the detection is disabled, the user's time left is updated correctly
- at the status bar
-
- (*) "Multiple command line interpreter", allows to define many CSI-
- files in the DATA-line of the menu editor. Additionally there are
- three options: -A (defines an alternative ASCII-file), -R (defines an
- alternative RIP-file), -H (disables the local detection of special
- keys by default). All parameters may be repeated
-
- (%) Alternative ASCII- or RIP-files are no longer defined with the second
- parameter in the DATA-line of the menu editor but with the options
- -A and -R

-
- (%) The animation speed is now independent from the system used (dynamic
- runtime syncronisation). The value 18 for "wait" will delay about 1
- second
-
- (*) If an error occurs, CURSORY now displays the name of the CSI-file used
-
- (%) Within a CSI-file, which contains an animation only, it's not necessary
- to define at least one menu option (empty menu)
-
- (*) The new control character "$" in connection with the CSI-keywords
- "menu", "help", "task", "printstart" and "printend" allows the
- execution of a ProBoard PEX while runtime. You can use this to include
- your own programs
-
- (*) The new third parameter of the CSI-keyword "hide" now defines whether
- the cursor is hidden after it is set to the defined position (optional)
-
- (*) The CSI-keyword "hide" now also hides the cursor on a non-black
- background
-
- (*) The control character "*" (hide cursor) now also works on a non-black
- background
-
- (%) The maximum number of characters possible per line in CSI-files was
- increased
-
- (*) New text macro: "PROTOCOLHOTKEY" (hotkey of user's default protocol)
-
- (*) New text macro: "PROTOCOLNAME" (name of user's default protocol)
-
- (*) New text macro: "CURFILEAREA" (name of current filearea)
-
- (*) New text macro: "CURFILEGROUP" (name of current filegroup)
-

-
- (*) New text macro: "NUMMSGAREAS" (number of messageareas)
-
- (*) New text macro: "CIL" (version number of a "multimedia library" that
- is used by CURSORY)
-
- (%) The control character "ⁿ" (delay) was changed to "_" for compatibility
- reasons
-
- (%) The control character "~" (clear screen) was changed to "ⁿ" for
- compatibility reasons
-
- (%) The control character "º" (show an ANSI) was changed to "~" for
- compatibility reasons
-
- (*) The control character "_" (delay) now delays in realtime (the value 18
- will delay about 1 second)
-
- (%) The control character "ª" (log off user) was changed to "²"
-
- (%) All control codes are now available in unregistered version
-
- (%) All text macros are now available in unregistered version
-
- (%) All CSI-keywords are now available in unregistered version
-
- (-) Global hotkeys were not recognized on menu options with defined
- "restart"

-
- (-) Fixed a bug which caused ProBoard to hang in some cases after pressing
- ALT-M or ALT-C (Dynamic Memory Bug)
-
- (-) German umlauts which were used as hotkeys were not recognized correctly
-
- (%) The CSI-keywords "leftkey", "rightkey", "upkey" and "downkey" are now

- *** ENGLISH VERSION AVAILABLE ***
-
- (*) The program now detects if a selected menu option is possibly locked
- for specific nodes (since ProBoard 2.15)
-
- (*) The new CSI-keywords "leftkey", "rightkey", "upkey" and "downkey" (all
- local) can be used to define characters which are sent immediately
- after pressing a cursor key on a specific menu option (therefore you
- can carry out "real" pulldown-menus)
-
- (*) The new control character "º" (ASCII 167) in connection with the CSI-
- keywords "menu", "help", "task", "printstart" and "printend" allows
- to show an ASCII-/ANSI-/AVATAR-file at runtime
-
- (*) The new control character "ⁿ" (ASCII 252) in connection with the CSI-
- keywords "menu", "help", "task", "printstart" and "printend" allows
- to slow down the display speed (can for example be used for "fading"-
- effects)
-
- (*) New text macro: "FLAGFSED"
-
- (-) Some OS/2-problems fixed ("COM-port-bug")
-
- (-) In some cases after pressing a special key (e. g. cursor keys) a
- character was sent to ProBoard wrongly, which was possibly interpreted
- as "hotkey" ("ABCD-bug")
-
- ┌────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ CURSORY 2.00 │
- │ Changes since CURSORY 1.01 Gamma 6 │
- └────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- (*) The DOS-environment-variable "CSI" can be used to define a global path
- to all CSI-files
-
- (*) Each line of a CSI-file is checked for possible errors. If there is an
- error, a note including the line number is shown. Too many or missing
- parameters, unknown CSI-keywords or missing characters are NOT ignored
- any longer
-
- (*) The new CSI-keyword "function" (local) can be used to call a ProBoard-
- function instead of returning a character to ProBoard using
- "returnkey". If both keywords are defined at the SAME time, the
- function is executed first, then the "returnkey" is sent to ProBoard
-
- (*) If the new CSI-keyword "restart" (local) is defined, the CSI-file is
- called again after execution of a defined function (the file is not
- read again physically)
-
- (*) The CSI-keyword "forceansi" (global) can be used to define that CURSORY
- uses the Ansi-mode in any case
-
- (*) The CSI-keyword "forceavatar" (global) forces CURSORY to use the
- Avatar-mode at start
-
- (*) If the CSI-keyword "noglobalcheck" (global) is defined, limitations in
- the file "GLOBAL.PBM" are ignored. The local checking is active
- furthermore (in contrast to "nocheck")
-
- (*) The CSI-keyword "globalkey" (global) can be used to seperate hotkeys
- and the characters, which are really sent to ProBoard (equivalent to
- the local seperation with "hotkey" and "returnkey")
-
- (*) The new control character "^" in connection with the CSI-keywords
- "menu", "help", "task", "printstart" and "printend" allows the usage of
- ProBoard-compatible text macros. All macros can be displayed left-
- aligned, right-aligned or centered
-
- (%) Local and global hotkeys now have a higher priority than the pre-
- defined control keys "HOME", "END", "SPACE", "RETURN", 2-4-6-8 (if
- "numeric" is defined) and the cursor keys. All these keys can be
- redefined using the keywords "hotkey" (local) and "globalkey" (global)
-
- (%) The CSI-keyword "endtask" was renamed to "printend"
-
- (*) The new CSI-keyword "printstart" (global) allows to show some text
- BEFORE starting the cursor key control (-> "printend")
-
- (%) The CSI-keyword "elite" was renamed to "elitemenu"
-
- (%) The CSI-keyword "taskelite" was renamed to "elitetask"
-
- (*) If the new CSI-keyword "log" (global) is defined, some CURSORY runtime
- data is written to the file "PROBOARD.LOG"
-
- (*) The new control character "~" in connection with the CSI-keywords
- "menu", "help", "task", "printstart" and "printend" can be used to
- clear the screen. If the "CLRSCR"-flag is not set for a user, this
- control character has no effect
-
- (%) The CSI-keyword "show" is not executed in "runtime" any longer, it
- may only be used once in a CSI-file
-
- (*) The new control character "ª" (ASCII 166) in connection with the CSI-
- keywords "menu", "help", "task", "printstart" and "printend" can be
- used to log off the user immerdiately
-
- (%) The control character "." (set relative cursor position) was changed
- to "&"
-
- (-) Problem concerning the usage of a long ProBoard system path in
- connection with the CSI-keyword "userdoes" fixed
-
