LIST Version 7.5a WHAT'S NEW 8/30/90
New Operational Features
------------------------
- the distribution files are LISTS.COM (small), LISTR.COM (regular), and
LIST.COM (plus)
- The new LIST environment variable tells LIST where to place temporary
files for the ViewArc and archive extraction functions, e.g.
SET LIST=C:\TEMP
- A new /K command line switch disables the mouse. Both the /M and /K
mouse options are clonable.
- A new /#nnnnnn command line switch instructs LIST to begin displaying
the file starting at line number 'nnnnnn'.
- The /Ftext command line parameter to begin a text search through all
selected files now invokes the Find function which is NOT case
sensitive.
- The maximum "logical" record size has been increased from 910 to 2048.
- A second Help screen is now available in the Plus version which shows
all of the Ctrl- and cursor key functions
- A great improvement in speed is available when all filter options are
set off. Use alt-Z to display the toggles on the bottom line. An
option is off when its corresponding letter, e.g. 'J' for alt-J junk
filter or 'T' for the alt-T tab expansion filter, is in lower case.
- The Viewarc function now assumes that .EXE and .COM files are LHARC
files. Otherwise, if a file does not have the .ARC, .LZH, or .ZIP
extension, the file is assumed to be a .ARC file.
File Selection Menu
-------------------
- New commands are available from the File Selection (Alt-V) menu:
E invokes the 'Edit' editor to let you edit the selected file;
create a BATch file called EDIT.BAT which invokes the
editor of your choice with the optional parameters it needs
I invokes (executes) the selected program
Alt-Z toggles the status display on the bottom line from disk and
file statistics line to a menu command help line
LIST Version 7.5a WHAT'S NEW 8/30/90
- Changes to other file selection menu (Alt-V) commands:
- Q)uit returns you to the display of the last file you viewed
if no file has been displayed, Q exits to DOS.
- X and F10 exit to DOS in the NEW directory
- ESCape exits to DOS in the ORIGINAL directory
- Alt-X exits to DOS and shows the original screen
- the 1-up display now includes the file attributes
- Alt-C saves (clones) the settings
- the S)ort command now has a None (no sort) ordering option
New Commands
------------
- A new ctrl-Y command saves the current position as a bookmark, and
alt-Y repositions to the last bookmark. You may set up to ten bookmarks
and recall them in the same order.
- A new 1 command restarts displaying files with the first file.
- A new Ctrl-right command scrolls the screen right to the end of the
current line.
Changed Commands
----------------
- The X command exits to DOS and clears the screen. In the Plus version,
you are now placed in the new (selected) directory.
- The Alt-G command (shell to DOS) now clears the screen.
- The Alt-R Ruler option has been improved to better show offsets
when in the Hex Dump (Alt-H) display mode.
- The Alt-D and Alt-O (write lines to a file) commmands have been changed
to default to writing a found (highlighted line after Scan or Find)
line if no lines have been marked.
- The ctrl-I command has been added to the Plus version. It allows
setting the TAB interval to values other than the standard 8. Ctrl-I
prompts you to enter the new interval, which can be from 1 to 99.
