- Version 1.2
-
- Added a pause at the end of the run so the summary statistics
- can be viewed before the screen is cleared. In interactive
- mode, GAP_Verify will delay until a key is pressed. In
- command line mode, it will pause for 15 seconds before
- exiting. If, during this 15-second period, a key is pressed,
- GAP_Verify will pause until another key is pressed.
-
- Added the /M parameter to override the default pause
- behavior at the end of a command line mode run. If /M is
- specified on the command line, GAP_Verify will wait for a
- key press at the end of the run.
-
- Added a full-screen status display that shows all sorts of
- information about the current run of GAP_Verify, including
- counts of files and total bytes processed. (The "Content
- Bytes" field won't display a meaningful value unless you
- are extracting FILE_ID.DIZ's during the current run.) The
- history window is essentially the information that used to
- be displayed in v1.1 and earlier, though it's been condensed
- a bit. Only files that have been updated are displayed here.
- Following the name of the file are one or more letters that
- indicate what was changed. The letters DSLDKZ are displayed
- in fixed positions to indicate the Date, Size, Location,
- Description, Keywords, or DIZ was changed. In the case of DIZ,
- it really means a DIZ was extracted and used instead of the
- current enhanced description.
-
- Fixed a problem with the deletion of old keywords. This
- bug shouldn't have caused any harm to your filebase, though
- you may have more keywords than necessary associated with
- some files. If you're concerned about this, have GAP_Verify
- re-parse the keywords and the extra keywords will be cleaned
- up.
-
- Special note: It wasn't mentioned in the docs previously,
- but it's a good idea to run GAPMAINT and pack both the
- Files and Keywords after you've done a major update with
- GAP_Verify, particularly if you've extracted FILE_ID.DIZ
- descriptions. Because GAP_Verify adds the contents line to
- the end of the enhanced description when extracting DIZs,
- many of the filebase records will have to be moved to accomodate
- the longer descriptions. This will leave a lot of "holes" in
- the filebase. No harm there, but your filebase may take up
- a bit more disk space than it needs to. Packing the filebase
- will take care of the "holes".

- Version 1.1
-
- Fixed an insufficient memory problem that occurred when a
- board had several hundred forums. Also added an error message
- (which should have been there all along) in the extremely
- unlikely event that there should be another memory shortage
- in this area. (You'd have to carry every echoed conference
- known to man to run into memory problems in this particular
- area, but you'll get an error message if it happens!)
-
- Changed the version number to 1.1. It was mistakenly left
- at 0.9ß in the 1.0 release.
-
- Changed the screen output functions to provide better speed.
-
- The change to the screen output resulted in inconsistent
- fielding of Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break, so the keyboard is now
- checked after each file is processed. If any key has been
- pressed, you'll be specifically asked if you want to terminate.
