- New capabilities in EZ-Forms "Shareware version":
-
- EZ-Forms rev D.10:
- - This is a complete rewrite of EZ-Forms with many new features.
- See the on-line manual and context sensitive help (F1) for
- complete details of the new features.
- - Form compression is here at last -- forms occupy only 1/3 of
- the disk space they used to need. Great space saver!
- - Forms can now be up to 126 lines x 255 columns (6X larger than rev C).
- - Additional character graphics symbols added (block shade characters).
- - Lotus style menus with additional description on second line.
- - Bold (double strike) and underline can now be used in forms.
- - Auto date and auto time insertion into forms (like auto numbering).
- - AltP patch mode and AltG full screen draw mode have been added to
- make it easier to create and modify forms.
- - Forms can now be selected from the directory by using a color bar.
- - Plus all kinds of other additional new features. I've been busy!
-
- EZ-Forms rev D.11:
- - Minor touchup to AltG (full screen graphics walk-around)
- - Revised colors in editor to alternate colors of text for better readability.
- (line, column, date, time, etc.)
-
- EZ-Forms rev D.12:
- - Speeded up keyboard, delete, and insert functions thru more efficient coding.
- - Cleaned up messages is several areas of the program.
- - Added more help (F1).
-
- EZ-Forms rev D.13
- - Corrected a minor bug in operation of Tab in wide completed forms.
- - Cleaned up the handling of critical errors -- those for which DOS would
- normally give you an "Abort,Retry,Ignore?". You only run into these when
- you have an error while printing or saving a form.
- - Corrected the operation of D for draft on the print menu. When you pressed
- D it erased off the screen the S for small text vice the V for very dark
- graphics. This was only a display problem, the correct flags were set for
- printing.
-
- EZ-Forms automatically looks for the configuration file when you run it. If it
- doesn't exist then EZ-FORMS will automatically create it. NOTE: If you have
- an old EZ-FORMS.CNF file, you will have to use EZ-FORMS to reinstall the
- printer type.
-
- EZ-Forms has it's own section on the Yellow Rose bulletin board (713-326-2999).
- An area has been set aside to carry the latest version of EZ-FORMS and act as
- a focal point for users to swap forms. I will keep the latest version of
- EZ-Forms on this board along with additional forms. Check out this board, it
- is one of the best one in Houston. Special thanks to the user who uploaded
- the BBS wish list forms! These new forms make it easier to keep track of
- bulletin boards (phone numbers, passwords, etc) and have now been included
- on disk number 2.
-
- The latest version of EZ-Forms is also available on the General Electric
- Network for Information Exchange (GEnie) in the IBM PC area 3, applications.
- I will continue to upload EZ-Forms to GEnie as new versions become available.
- GEnie has file areas for the different PCs and has been VERY good about posting
- updated versions of EZ-Forms. GEnie can be accessed throughout the country
- at local numbers ($5 per hour). The current number for GEnie information is
- 1-800-638-9636, ext. 21.
-
- If you find any bugs in EZ-Forms please take the time to fill out the bug
- report form and mail it to me. I will try to fix any bugs as quickly as
- possible. The first 5 users who report each bug will receive the fixed version
- of EZ-Forms as soon as I can correct the bug. With a program as large as this
- one, there has to be bugs. Don't let me down, fill out those bug reports and
- mail em off to me. If you are a registered user, I will mail out both
- diskettes of the two disk set. Otherwise, you will receive only diskette
- number one (the shareware version).
-
- Please help distribute EZ-Forms. Pass copies to friends and upload it to your
- local bulletin boards. Any suggestions for improving EZ-Forms would be very
- much appreciated.
