- New for DOSNIX version 2.0b
-
-
- 1. When using EDC, if the -t option was combined with the
- -s option, the path file would be removed but a new one would
- not be generated. EDC would then have to scan the drives
- the next time it was used. The problem has now been fixed.
-
-
-
- New for DOSNIX version 2.0a
-
-
- 1. EDC now uses just one path file for all hard disk
- partitions, stored in the root directory of drive C.
- This change improves the way the backspace key works
- during speed searches, and should allow EDC to run
- faster on large systems with many logical drives. You
- can still access drives explicitly but the speed advantage
- won't be that great. Floppy drives still have a separate
- path file for each floppy, and you will have to scan each
- floppy disk to install the path file.
-
- 2. When a directory was created, removed or renamed
- on a drive locked out with EDNOSCAN, EDC would still
- try to access the path file. This problem has now been
- fixed.
-
- 3. LS has been upgraded to work with the new version of EDC.
- You should not try to use an older version of LS with this
- version of EDC.

-
-
- New for DOSNIX version 2.0
-
-
- 1. READ will now allow you to pull in a new file without
- leaving the program. Pressing F4 will display the current
- directory. You can then use the arrow keys to select a
- new file or a new directory. You can start the program in
- this mode by using a directory as an argument. F2 and F3
- can now be used to start and continue string searches.
- The up arrow key now works like an up arrow key should.
-
- 2. EDC has been completely reworked and can change to any
- directory on any hard drive without using a drive spec.
- EDC will automatically scan your drives the first time it
- is run. Unwanted drives can be locked out by setting the
- environment variable EDNOSCAN to the letters of the drives
- you want to ignore. When displaying the directory tree,
- EDC will now give you an opportunity to choose a directory
- at the end of each page. A new menu for matching directories
- has been installed in both EDC and LS.
-
- 3. FFIND can now locate files either by date or number of
- days back.
-
-
- 4. The short version and the enhanced version of DOSNIX now
- have the same number. This should make it easier for SYSOPS
- to tell which is the newer version. The short version will
- be distributed as DOSNX20.ZIP and the enhanced version will
- be distributed as DSX20.ZIP.
-
-
- New for DOSNIX version 0.94n
-
-
- 1. READ.EXE will now handle files containing up to 30,000
- lines. This is a threefold increase from the previous
- version. A larger version, READXL.EXE, is included in
- the enhanced version of DOSNIX which will handle files
- containing up to 100,000 lines. READL.EXE requires 350k
- of free memory to run.
-
-
- 2. Speed has always been a problem with READ. By using DOS
- calls to read in the text instead of compiler routines,
- READ.EXE has been given a hefty speed increase which will
- be apparent when doing text searches. READXL.EXE will run
- a little slower but still much faster than older versions
- of READ.
-
-
- 4. When attempting a case sensitive text search from the
- command line, READ would abort with an "Invalid Option"
- error. When using the -f option to capture standard input,
- text searches would not work. Both problems have now been
- fixed.
