└─────────────────────┘
+ Added support for Microsoft Windows 3.?. While running, FDHM
will give up time to Windows if it waits for an input.
+ Added a Nodial-Manager to the FrontDoor-Section. Unlike in
FrontDoor, you can also decrease the number of bad connections
with FDHM.
+ FDHM only knew your pointnet during viewing the *.HIS files. Now
it also use the pointnet during calculating the costs. So the
costs for a point, not in your local area, will be correct now.
+ you may enter a time greater than 720 seconds for a unit-charge.
Sorry, this was left over from the german version.
+ Times above 1000 hours were not formatted correctly. Fixed!

└─────────────────────┘
+ Added context-sensitive help to FDHM. If you look carefully
through the index, you may find some features that were always
in FDHM but only active after registering. Can't hide them any
longer with the help index without making two different files
;-(
+ Added new commandlineoption POSTLAST
If you run FDHM PostLast after every mailexit, FDHM will
update the costs only of the very last entry in your
history files. This function is *very* quick.
If you really exit after *every* kind of mail and use
the 'PostLast' command, you only have to run FDHM PACK once
a day. And your history files are up-to-date whenever
you invoke FDHM or the FrontDoor internal alt-i, alt-o
commands.
This option also is a interface for the request-manager
in my program TrackM. Please refer to the TrackM.DOC
+ Did a lot of codecleaning and cosmetic cleaning. Now you can
nearly do everything with the mouse inside FDHM.
+ Fixed some bugs that were caused in the portation to TP 6.01.
FDHM never hangs on my computer now.
+ Make some finetuning with memoryallocation. FDHM should run
with 280 kB of memory now !
NOTE: FDHM has *NO* errorchecking for HeapErrors! So you may
get a 'Runtime error 203' if there is to less memory.
After installing an errorchecking i found that this
will costs nearly the same size of memory. So FDHM needs
290 kB then and displays well formatted errormessages.

+ FDHM was ported to Turbo-Pascal 6.01. I'd expected some
explosions here, but everything seems to work fine. The
only problems this portion causes may be in the handling
of swapping. So tell me, if you have any problems with
this.
+ added a very powerful commandlineoption to generate
reports on a per-node base. Please refer to the docs
for NODEREP.
+ FDHM will shell to FDHMNODE to recompile the indexes. Make
sure FDHMNODE is somewhere in the path.
+ FDHM now reads PASSWORD.FD at startup and never touches
it again. So if you play with FDHM, FrontDoor should not
say 'Can't access PASSWORD.FD'.
+ Added a color configuration menu. You can now make FDHM
look like you want. The /BW switch still works.
NOTE: If you change the Menucolors you first have to exit
FDHM with save to make the changes active.
+ Added more mousesupport.
+ Changed summary functions so that it can handle more
than 2100 Megabytes now. Yes, there was a need for that:
241/0 ran FDHM for 9 month now and he got a summary of
3800 Megabytes transfer in this time.
+ Due to a wrong setup, some people reported a division 0
runtime error. FDHM should show you now what entry is
missing or wrong.
+ Did a lot of cosmetic finetuning.

+ added support for a three button mouse. Play with it.
Only one hint: LB+CB = PageUp RB+CB = PageDwn
+ FDHM and FDHMNode should be properly SHARE-aware now.
That means you can use both programs while FrontDoor
has access to the nodelist in another task.
+ added support for monochrome mode. FDHM should detect itself
if you use it in monochrome mode. You can force mono with
giving /BW on the commandline.
+ Increased number of timezones to 20
+ Increased number of phone entries to 200
+ Totally new set-up of phonecosts. FDHM comes with a
nodelistcompiler now. Please read the special documen- tation
for FDHMNODE.
Instead of setting up nodenumbers, you have to set-up
phonenumber-matching now. This is identical to the set-up for
your normal nodelistcompiler. While the FDHM nodelistcompiler
does 99% of the settings, you only have to set-up a very few
phonenumbers here. I have limited the entries to 100. If you
think you need more, you must have done something wrong.
+ FDHM now knows all about a node in the history section. It will
show this information in the save-files section and some
additional infos also in the Frontdoor-files section.
+ an additional program NODEINFO is found in the distribution
packet. It allows you to view the information of a node on the
commandline.
! FDHM.SYS was changed to SETUP.HMI
! You can set-up wether or not you want FDHM swap if it does a
shell and if EMS or Disk should be used when swapping is
allowed. Most of all problems using FDHM caused by handling of
EMS. It do run perfect if you have fully qualified EMS that
matching the 4.0 standard. If you have any problems, first
disallow EMS, if that does not work, disable swapping totally.
In combination with this I'd disallowed using EMS for the
overlay manager in FDHM. That may slow down FDHM a little bit
but makes it saver.
