dUFLP Library
Version 1.9 - 10/14/1992
What's New?
================================================================================
This file is here to give a brief explanation of the new items and/or changes
to PROC.PRG or the LIBRARY Files. If you want a complete list of what is
contained in PROC.PRG and the Library files, take a look at README.TXT, which
lists all procedures and functions, with a brief description of use. For
detailed instructions on the use of these, list or print PROC.PRG and Library
files (this is a LONG printout -- it takes over 180 pages on a laserprinter
set at 60 lines per page).
==================
So, what IS new?
==================
------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS/PROCEDURES
------------------------
FILES.PRG -- the following routines were added to FILES.PRG -- they're
all low-level routines, taken from Adam Menkes article in Tech-
Notes from April, 1992.
AAppend() -- Appends a text file into an array.
FDel() -- Deletes a given portion of a file.
FGetLine() -- Used to extract a line of text from a text file.
FIns() -- Inserts a specified number of nulls into a file.
GetInfo() -- Retrieves information from status that you cannot get with
dBASE's SET() function.
TextLine() -- Returns number of lines of text in an ASCII Text file.
TLine() -- Returns a specific line in an ASCII Text file.
TLineNo() -- Returns the line number of the phrase you are searching for
in an ASCII Text File.
TempFile() -- Returns a random file name (and temp dir path).
TempDir() -- Returns path of temporary directory as set from DOS (i.e.,
SET DBTMP= ...)
-------------------------
UPDATES TO 'OLD' ROUTINES
-------------------------
SCREEN.PRG
YesNoCan() -- JOEY noticed a problem when using the routine. He fixed it and
sent the updated version (it was his routine in the first place).
COLOR SETTINGS
Went back in, after some discussion with Joey, and some more tinkering, and
decided that the method I had changed things to in version 1.7 or 1.8 (can't
remember now) was causing some weird little problems, that weren't necessary.
SO, all of the routines modified for "explicit color setting" have been
re-modified back to the old method of simply using the COLOR parameter for
window definitions. It was an idea whose time certainly hasn't come yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it for now. Happy computing,
Ken
