01/16/90 V1.1 No longer displays the SET VAR=whatever message. Modified
char() to output a newline if return, escape, or ctrl-C is
pressed. Added the echo(), mem(), tenv(), and env()
functions.
01/17/90 V1.2 Added the ne() and nes() functions.
01/21/90 V1.3 Added the pos(), num(), and alpha() functions.
01/22/90 V1.4 Added the zone(), net(), node(), point(), and lookup()
functions.
01/23/90 V1.5 Acts more like the DOS SET command. This implies several
things: 1) It will now dump the environment if no
arguments are specified. 2) You must now specify an equal
sign (=) between the variable and the expression. 3) You
don't have to put double quotes around the expression if it
contains more than one "word". As far as I can tell, there
is only one difference: "RONSET X" and "RONSET X=" both do
the same thing (i.e. clear the variable X). DOS's SET will
give you a syntax error if you use the first form.
01/25/90 V1.6 Added the byte(), word(), long(), abs(), mod(), neg(),
sqr(), sqrt(), and pow() functions. Changed all arithetic
functions to work with floating point numbers.
02/03/90 V1.7 Added the diff(), bin(), oct(), attr(), and prn()
functions.
02/06/90 V1.8 After a lot of research, I finally figured out how versions
of DOS earlier than 3.3 deal with the root environment.
This version will work for all DOS versions 2.0 and up.
02/06/90 V2.0 The binary functions now deal only with 16-bit values.
Floating point arithmetic functions lose significance when
used with large numbers. Fact of life. You folks wanted
floating point rather than integer arithmetic, so I gave it
to you. My old example of multiplying the net number by
65536 then adding the node number and converting to hex
just didn't cut it anymore. So we have to deal with
smaller numbers. To do the same thing, I changed my
example to convert both the net number and node number
individually to hex, then concatinate the results.
02/11/90 V2.1 Modified the concat() function to handle missing (null)
arguments. Added the rand(), sound(), and number()
functions.
This is the last public release of RonSet. I've been hearing that many
people like this program. I haven't received a single registration. I
guess ShareWare doesn't work.
