- Changes made for ConDir version 1.1 from 1.0
- --------------------------------------------
-
- * Hopefully cleaned up the curser handling a bit. A problem will still
- exist if the user holds down a key for too long if the machine cannot keep
- up. Not much more can be done here without some serious changes to the
- entire program (and the Amiga and the compiler and the ...).
-
- * Added option 'S' to the main screen. This allows the sysop (level 255)
- to add the selected file to a specific file area. At this time, the program
- doesn't check to see if the area exists or if it has an alternate directory
- specified. Let me know if you would like to see these options added.
-
- * Went back to maximum 78 column lines. I had reports that the screens
- were garbled when running terminal programs with line wrap engaged.
-
- * Size checking now works as advertised (I hope).
-
- * The GUI makeconfig program now has all options available and they should
- all work as advertised too. You can now specify the global "Check Sizes"
- option and the individual (per directory) "Move Files" options. Read the
- main docs about this if you don't know what these options are for. BTW, you
- probably don't have to edit your config unless you happen to want to change
- one or both of those two options.
-
- Changes made for ConDir version 1.2 from 1.1
- --------------------------------------------
-
- * Sysop option 'S' now uploads the .readme file as a description if there
- is one present. This is perhaps one of my favorite features at the present.
-
- * Support for alternate description files added. sffiles.bbs, dirx.lst,
- wildcat.txt, and files.bbs are now checked for and if found, used.
-
- * Support has been added for up to 100 possible directories. I can add
- support for more than that if anyone wants them. The MakeConfig utility
- was updated to handle the 100 maximum. I have tested up to 64 directories
- and haven't found any problems.
-
- Changes made for ConDir version 1.3 from 1.2
- --------------------------------------------
-
- * RIP support (yes RIP!) has been added. Use the key RIP in the command
- line to show RIP to the user. The RIP support is really, really BETA and
- the only reason I am telling you it is there is so you can play with it
- and give me some comments about it. The RIP graphics will be changing
- in the near future to be cleaner and better looking. At the present, all
- RIP is really used for is screen controls (instead of the keyboard).
-
- * Major code cleanup in progress. I would appreciate if someone could
- run enforcer and report any and all hits to me. I was having some guru
- problems, but I hope these are fixed. I really don't know what caused
- them, although I suspect it had something to do with memory allocation
- issues.
-
- Changes made for ConDir version 1.5 from 1.3
- --------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE: Version 1.4 was an internal BETA version.
-
- * Screen set to raw internally making the cursor keys perform a heck
- of a lot better. Now, you can hold down any of the cursor keys without
- trashing the screen. Wish I would have found the rawcon() function
- earlier.
-
- * Cursor keys can now be used instead of the keypad. All the normal
- kypad functions are still active.
-
- * MAJOR bug caught. I'm hoping this is the one that caused all the
- various problems I was having. Actually, I don't even know how the
- program was working at all. I've been running betas of 1.4 for about
- a month now and they seem awefully stable. Only had one crash I think
- when a user tried to mark a file in the aminet game/misc dir, but I
- believe this was fixed in a later revision.
-
- * Proper return codes added for both ConDir and the MakeConfig
- utility.
-
- Changes made for ConDir version 1.6 from 1.5
- --------------------------------------------
-
- * Fixed the "Display marked files" option hopefully List is now
- clean.
-
- * Worked heavily on the marking and uploading of files which people
- seemed to be having problems with. I've been over the thing 100+ times
- and I can't see what would cause a batch.file to become corrupted
- or not to mark the correct files.
-
- * New color scheme. It matches DLG! (well, almost) Helps to blend
- into the BBS environment a little better.
-
- Like I said, the program works fine on my puny A500 running OS 2.1
- ParNetted to a CDTV. I can't test it on accelerated machines or
- machines running OS 3.x so it is kinda hard to know if something I
- am doing is not liked by these machines. I'm *not* doing anything
- special by any means.
-
- Changes made for ConDir version 1.8 from 1.6
- --------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE: 1.8 differs very little from 1.7. I updated the version
- number because I actually gave 1.7 to a couple people. Then,
- I made some small changes.
-
- I wasn't going to release anything until I got some massive work
- done, but since it seems that I've fixed some MAJOR stuff, I'll
- go ahead and release 1.7.
-
- * I *finally* got a 3000. Therefore, I really got down to the basic
- and searched for Enforcer hits. Guess what. I found some of them
- that I'm sure would have, could have, and did cause a lot of you a lot
- of problems. I've cleaned up two major problems (one actually resulting
- in *two* Enforcer hits). I couldn't find any more of them, but if you
- do, please tell me where they are at. I've tried all the functions
- including the archive list found in the registered versions. The
- only time I get Enforcer hits is when I am using ParNet and the hits
- are ones caused by it.
-
- * Made the <ENTER> key work as either a down directory ( D ) or
- mark file ( G ) command depending on where the cursor is. Now,
- all you really need to use this program is the cursor keys and
- the <ENTER> key. I also made the escape key an alias for the U
- key. In other words, escape goes up one directory level. One
- person had requested this change be made.
-
- * Updated the documentation a bit. Notice that the user help file
- has been changed to reflect the key command changes. Also note that
- you can pick up the latest version of ConDir (as long as you have
- Mosaic) from http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~ind00626/home.html. This
- page will tell you the latest revision available and let you actually
- receive it.
-
- I've heard people complaining about the key commands of late. I will
- be working on this issue further.
