Dirman version 1.60 general shareware release August 31, 1996.
DIRMAN 1.55
Added <G>raft Directory Tree command. Copy the contents of the
directory the cursor is sitting on and all of the files and directories
contained therein to anywhere you specify. All of the files and
subdirectories in the directory the cursor is pointing to are copied to
the target preserving the original directory integrity and structure.
Added <N>uke Directory Tree Command. Delete the contents of the
directory the cursor is sitting on and all of the files and directories
contained in it. Similar to the DOS DELTREE command, it is the inverse
of the <G>raft command.
Fixed bug in change dri<V>e command that would redraw the screen
incorrectly if an invalid drive letter was specified. Also killed a
bug that would terminate the program if an attempt was made to log on
to drive Q.
DIRMAN 1.54
Changed algorithm for screen writes in Viewman for PGDN, PGUP, LEFT,
and RIGHT commands. Prevents slow systems from overflowing the
keyboard buffer when keys are repeating.
DIRMAN 1.53
Added the <ALT_D> command in Dirman to delete files so that they can
not be recovered. This command works by overwriting every byte in the
file to be deleted with a junk character (10101010 binary) just before
deleting the file. Use this command when you want to delete a file(s)
that contains information you don't ever want anyone to ever see again.
The DOS undelete command and other similar utilities may still be able
to reconstruct the file but the reconstructed file will contain only
the junk binary character.
Changed Sort by Filename to sort using the Long Filename when running
under Win 95.
Fixed Bug in Print Directory Listing that would cause Dirman to bail to
the <c:\> prompt if a printer could not be found.
Added <ALT_A> command ANSI filter to Viewman. Makes viewing files
created by Windows applications using the standard Windows ANSI
character set easier to read by translating high order ANSI characters
to their DOS ASCII equivalent. ANSI characters that do not have DOS
ASCII equivalents are translated to spaces.
DIRMAN 1.52
Killed a bug that would prevent editing a file with the <ALT_E> command
from Viewman when the file was invoked directly from the command line.
Added capability for Dirman to distinguish between a filename and a
pathname specified on the command line, and start the program either
viewing the file or directory contents. Added Code to change the Win
95 title bar text. Users of unregistered versions now get unobtrusive
pleasant reminders to register their software.
DIRMAN 1.51
Added <CTRL_T> command which shows file Creation, Last Access ,and Last
Write times for currently highlighted file. This command works with
Win 95 long filenames only. Added long filename display in the Copy,
Move, and Delete dialogs. Also now display the long filename in the
header lines of DM and VM.
Dirman version 1.50 general shareware release January 31, 1996.
DIRMAN 1.46
Added Long filename support to print directory and print block routines
allowing the default printer to be changed to a Win 95 Long filename.
DIRMAN 1.45
Added Long filename support for the following commands: Copy, Rename,
Move, and Make new directory. Also redesigned the Confirm File
Overwrite dialog box to make it easier to visually compare the two
files.
DIRMAN 1.44
Crushed a bug in the file copy routine that would not use the original
files date and time stamp in the newly created copy when the total file
size was 512 bytes or less.
DIRMAN 1.43
Added <ALT_T> change the file Time and /or date. Use this command to
change the file creation time / date for the currently highlighted file
or a group of tagged files.
DIRMAN 1.42
Killed a bug that would sort files by the date improperly for files
that were created after august 15, 1999. Don't ask!
Added <ALT_W> Word Wrap filter. This command wraps long lines at word
boundaries at any column the user chooses. The default column is the
current screen width.
DIRMAN 1.41
Fixed a bug that would make some characters on the screen blink when
returning from a shelled program. Dirman/Viewman now turns off the
blink bit when returning from any shelled program.
Added support for VESA compliant video modes. The ALT_V command now
provides a list of screen resolutions that the user can choose from.
Dirman/Viewman will only allow you to select from the modes your card
supports.
Added the <ALT_H> filter used to hide HTML commands embedded in a file.
This command makes it much easier to read files saved from you favorite
web browser.
Dirman version 1.40 general shareware release September 9, 1995.
DIRMAN 1.34
Added long filename support for Windows 95. This necessitated a change
to the screen layout. Windows 95 users will not see the short command
menu on the right hand side of the screen. This area is now used to
display the long filenames. New header and footer lines provide
relevant information for volume label, current directory, number of
files, bytes used, bytes free, number of tagged files, and total bytes
in tagged files.
Stomped on a bug in Windows for Workgroups V3.11 that would prevent
Dirman from copying a group of tagged files to a networked printer.
Now you can supply LPT1 (for example) as the target for the tagged
files and they will be copied to whatever printer is mapped to LPT1.
DIRMAN 1.31
Added Jump to Filename command. Hit the <J>ump key and the first
letter of the filename you want to land on and the cursor is placed on
the first filename that starts with that letter or the next higher
letter. This command is only active when the directory listing is
sorted by filename in ascending order.
Added option to sort directory listings by their file <A>ttributes.
Added Reverse order sorting of directory listings. To sort files in
reverse order hit the <S>ort key and the <R>everse key AND then the key
for the kind of sorting you want, <F>ilename, <E>xtension, <S>ize,
<D>ate, or <A>ttribute.
Added visual indication for number of files tagged and the total number
of bytes in the tagged files.
Added dialog to warn of a pending file overwrite. If during a <C>opy
operation the target file already exists, you are given the option to
abort the copy and preserve the original file, or to continue the
operation and replace the original with the new file, or cancel the
operation. When copying a group of tagged files there is also an
option to overwrite all of the destination files without additional
prompts.
Cleaned up a processor intensive section of the main to keep Win 95 and
OS/2 from pegging the processor usage needle at 100% while waiting for
a key press in registered copies.
Increased the maximum number of displayable lines from a fixed value of
64,000 to a variable number depending on the amount of free ram
available. The table below gives an approximation of the maximum file
size Viewman can handle for various memory configurations.
