- Program began originally as PLISTER for listing a single Pascal
- source code files. Then came CLISTER for C code, PROLISTR for
- PROLOG code, FORLISTR for FORTRAN code, etc.
-
- First major change in concept was SHORTQ which combined all
- the benefits of the previous programs into one program. The
- program (rather than the user) would decide whether the program
- was Pascal, C, Fortran, etc. Still listing a single file at a
- time.
-
- The next major change was FILEQ which was like SHORTQ, but would
- handle a "queue" (hence the Q) of files - like 15 or more
- files at a time, sending each to the printer sequentially, each
- file having access to all the benefits of SHORTQ.
-
- FILEQ was completely "hot-key" controlled. Actually, it was
- never completed. FILEQM was created which offered an optional
- Menu (hence the M) in addition to the hot-keys. Name reverted
- from FILEQM back to FILEQ for simplicity's sake.
