Laughing Dog Screen Maker
-------------------------
U P D A T E H I S T O R Y
------------------------------
Release Version 1.14
----------------------
Last Updated: September 1992
---------------------------
This file contains descriptions of the updates made to the
Laughing Dog Screen Maker program since the first release in
March 1992.
--------------------------------------------------------------
LDOG.EXE
--------------------------------------------------------------
V1.01:
--Internal release only.
V1.02:
20APR92 -- Fixed a bug in the PostScript output which caused the
alternate PrCh function to fail. For consistency, all file and
path names are now forcedto uppercase.
--Fixed a bug introduced in V1.01 which prevented the PostScript
option from working correctly.
V1.10:
25JUL92 -- Fixed a problem with the Set Last Screen Row dialog box
that would sometimes cause the row number to increment more than
one row at a time when using the mouse.
--Initialize screen to White on Black ($0F) upon start-up.
--Added ASCII Text output to the Generate Code/Export Menu. (See
READ.ME file for more info on using this feature)
--Added the ability to automatically insert WildCat! and PCBoard
@variables into a screen using <cntl>-V hot key.(See READ.ME file
for more info on using this feature)
--Limited the length of screen rows exported as PCBoard or
WildCat! BBS files to 79 chars. This change was necessary to
avoid screens displaying a blank line between each row from
within WildCat! and PCBoard on screens having a background color
-- Laughing Dog Screen Maker HISTORY.DOC Page 1 of 3 --
other than black. The last row on the screen (row 79) is now
truncated.
--Changed the colors used in the help screens. People suffering
from certain kinds of color blindness were having trouble seeing
the green on black text, so the colors were changed to solve this
problem. If it is still difficult to see, please let me know and
I will keep on adjusting until everyone can read the help
screens. (Unfortunately, the colors are hard-coded into the help
file, and cannot be user configured at this time).
V1.11:
14AUG92 -- Removed the invalid WildCat! BBS @variables @NODESTAT###@
and @NODEUSER###@ from the WildCat! @Variable Menu.
V1.12:
02SEP92 -- Although still not "officially" supported, EGA and VGA
extended screen modes (modes with more than the standard 25
screen rows, like 35-line mode, 50-line mode, etc.) work better
now. Fixed the problem of the mouse cursor occasionally not
being able to move beyond the 25th row. Fixed the problem of
getting multiple copies of a window, copied block, or BBS
@variables showing up on the screen when using the Make a Window,
Paste From File, or Insert BBS Variable features while UNDO was
active. NOTE: In order for LDOG to work with these extended
screen modes, the display must be in the mode prior to running
LDOG.EXE, if you start LDOG in one mode then shell out to DOS and
put the display in another mode, the screen will change, but LDOG
will behave as though the original mode is still in effect, not a
pretty sight...
V1.13:
Internal release only
V1.14:
25SEP92 -- Fixed a bug which caused the check mark to appear on the
wrong line of the Generate Code Menu when toggling the "AS
Monochrome" choice on and off.
--Fixed a bug which sometimes caused the program not to return to
the default drive and directory upon quitting if the program was
executed through the DOS search path from another location on the
hard drive.
--When Copy to File is selected from the Block Menu, the default
file name in the Save File dialog box now defaults to the last
block file name saved or pasted.
-- Laughing Dog Screen Maker HISTORY.DOC Page 2 of 3 --
--Fixed a bug in the Color Pascal and Monochrome Assembly code
generated which prevented it from running correctly on some XT
computers with BIOS dates earlier than 1/10/86.
--Added early binding to some functions in the PostScript code
generated which could speed PostScript printing somewhat.
--Added the "/#copies 1 def" variable definition to the
PostScript code, which allows you to more efficiently print
multiple copies of screens by changing the "1" to the number of
copies you wish to print.
--------------------------------------------------------------
LDOGSHOW.EXE
--------------------------------------------------------------
V1.01:
20APR92 -- Fixed the Copyright notice in the helpscreen
V1.02:
21JUL92 -- Program has not changed since V1.01, it was just recompiled
with a different compiler.
V1.03:
03SEP92 -- Fixed the bug which prevented a single file with a filename
beginning with a numeric character from being displayed.
--------------------------------------------------------------
LDOGRAB.EXE
--------------------------------------------------------------
V1.02:
21JUL92 -- Fixed a problem which caused unexpected results if a screen
being captured contained the characters with the values 0 or 255
(which would have shown up as spaces on the application screen).
These character values are now replaced with a normal space
character (32 decimal/20 hex).
--------------------------------------------------------------
BLK2EPS.EXE
--------------------------------------------------------------
13APR92 -- Fixed a bug which caused the alternate PrCh function to
fail. For consistency, all file and path names are now forced to
uppercase.
