- Address List Manager Release History
-
-
- Version 5.01 (09/21/93):
-
- You can no longer move the cursor more than one space beyond the current end of
- field position with either the right arrow key or the mouse. This should
- eliminate problems with characters added onto an existing field not being
- picked up.
-
- The Insert, Home and End keys now work throughout the entire program.
-
- Added another digit to the "bytes free" display in the file listing.
-
- Added .PIF and .ICO files to help in running ALM under Windows.
-
- Bug fix: Pressing Delete while using the editor Jump feature no longer flags
- the current record as edited, so the "Keep changes" prompt will only appear if
- the record really was edited.
-
- Bug fix: The cursor can no longer be moved into the Phone field with the mouse
- in the Return Address editor.
-
-
- Version 5.00 (12/22/92):
-
- Added phone number storage, and two accompanying new print formats.
-
- Added mouse support.
-
- Added user-configurable colors, and a new default color set (the original set
- is still available, too).
-
- Added two-letter symbol table.
-
- Expanded the file directory listing to include file dates.
-
- The Space bar works like Enter on menus, and when selecting a print/save range.
-
- The Yes/No prompt now indicates a default/current status, and accepts Enter or
- Space to confirm the default.
-
- Bug fix: Corrected the problem of printer setup strings not being sent by
- removing the colon from the end of the default printer device name. Note: If
- you use a setup file, you'll need to make this change manually. Consult the
- "Troubleshooting" section of the documentation for more information.
-
- Bug fix: Pressing Backspace at the right edge of an input box no longer erases
- part of the box.
-
-
- Version 4.45 (08/04/92):
-
- Increased the default minimum memory save amount from 32k to 50k, to allow
- shelling to DOS in DOS 5.0. In tight memory situations, this may decrease the
- maximum number of records slightly. If you use the /m32 switch, it will be
- exactly as in previous versions.
-
- Bug fix: Corrected a keyboard incompatibility problem which affected the
- numeric keys on some keyboards.
-
- Bug fix: The "Keep Changes" prompt is now fully erased after you respond to it.
-
- Corrected an embarrassing bug in the documentation - the author's ZIP code was
- wrong!
-
- Added some assorted files to the archive, and switched to a self-extracting
- distribution archive format.
-
-
- Version 4.44 (12/28/91):
-
- Bug fix: Eliminated a strange quirk in version 4.43 that didn't properly
- initialize the setup file name and extension in unregistered copies only.
- Registered users do not need to upgrade to this version.
-
-
- Version 4.43 (12/20/91):
-
- Added word-left and word-right keys to the editor.
-
- Added a post-print string, and renamed the setup string to the pre-print
- string.
-
- Changed warning and error message displays, and a few other screen displays.
-
- If you choose a disk file as your printer output device, and that file already
- exists, the new output will be added onto the existing file. Previous versions
- would overwrite the old output file.
-
- You may stop printing at the pause prompt during multiple envelope printing by
- pressing Escape, as in the rest of the program.
-
- A registration program, REGISTER.EXE, is now included in the distribution
- archive. This allows registered users to personalize their copy and remove
- the shareware reminders, eliminating the need for a separate registered copy.
-
- Bug fix: On some machines, previous ALM versions could lock up when attempting
- to send a pre-print (setup) string to the printer if the printer was
- unavailable. ALM now checks the printer status before attempting to send any
- data to it, and returns an immediate error message if there's a problem.
-
- Bug fix: Loading a setup file that doesn't have a pre-print (setup) string
- now properly clears the previous string.
-
-
- Version 4.42 (12/04/90):
-
- Added support for Tab and Shift-Tab keys.
-
-
- Version 4.41 (11/23/90):

- Changed directory access. Drive and directory are now entered together, file
- listing may be displayed for any directory.
-
- Bug fix: Eliminated bug that crashed the program if user attempted to access an
- empty drive or a drive with an unformatted disk in it.
-
-
- Version 4.40:
-
- Not publicly released.
-
-
- Version 4.3x (10/21/90):
-
- First publicly released shareware version.
