=================================================================
Version 1.3
=================================================================
-> Fixed some annoying 'features' in the input routine.
First, JADU will no longer remember that you went into
insert mode (ie. you will always begin in overstrike
mode). Second, the <End> key now places the cursor at
the end of what you have typed - not at the end of the
input field. Last, if you begin to type over an
existing item (such as the default directory in copy or
move operations) the remainder of the line will be
blanked out (no more pressing the space bar).
-> Made the utilities section of the configuration file
case insensitive, thereby allowing lowercase command
switches.
-> Fixed a bug in the utilities section of the
configuration file that disallowed the use of batch
files and didn't allow the use of command switches with
certain utilities.
-> Usage of the <Home> and <End> keys in the entry of a
destination directory (copy and move commands) has been
changed. Previously these keys moved the pointer on
the directory tree. They now act as editing keys,
moving the cursor to the beginning and end of the
information being entered.
-> The number of files displayed in the status area no
longer counts directories or the volume label. Only
'true' files are included. In the same vein, the tag
command no longer tags directories or the volume label.
-> JADU will now pass '*.*' to your utilities if you have
marked them as accepting multiple files and all of the
files in the current directory are tagged. For
example, if there are 10 files in the current
directory, you only have 9 tagged, and you wish to edit
them with an editor that accepts multiple files on the
command line, JADU will (probably) make 2 invocations
of the editor to achieve this end. If all 10 were
tagged then only one pass would be needed (EDIT *.*).
This is especially handy when you want to archive an
entire directory of files.
-> Fixed the pause option in the utility section of the
configuration file. (Please note that prior to this
version the Archive View command paused no matter how
this parameter was set. If you still wish JADU to do
this you must make sure that the parameter is set
correctly.)
-> Added <ALT-X> and <ALT-Q> commands which exit and quit
without waiting for confirmation.
-> The directory deletion routine was rewritten to make it
a bit smarter. This should reduce the odds of getting
a "deletion not completed" message if the directory
tree gets out of sync with reality.
-> Added automatic discovery of new directories. Prior to
this version if you created a directory outside of JADU
(with the MD command, for example) it would not show on
the directory tree, thus creating confusion. Now JADU
checks each directory found while loading the files
area to see if it exists in the directory tree. If it
does not exist the tree is updated.
-> Added the ability to specify a destination directory
for files extracted from archives. This eliminates the
need to first copy an archive into the destination
directory before decompressing the files. This feature
uses the same interface as the copy and move commands
(point to the directory and hit <Return>).
-> Added the <ALT-I> command to display the version
timestamp.
=================================================================
Version 1.2
=================================================================
-> Fixed bug where JADU tied up all the room remaining on
a disk if a copy or move bombed due to insufficient
disk space (you then had to do a 'chkdsk /f' to free
the space)
-> Changed directory tree double lines to single lines to
provide a bit more separation from the window border.
-> Fixed bug that made JADU hang on systems running DOS
version less than 3.0 which did not have a mouse.
-> Tweaked and twiddled some internal code.
=================================================================
Version 1.1
=================================================================
-> Fixed bug in which the deletion of the current
directory was attempted. You will now move to the
parent of the you are trying to delete and the deletion
will be allowed.
-> Tagged files now remain tagged if you rename them
-> Version 1.0's docs incorrectly stated that the maximum
number of directories allowed was 150 (actually it was
100). The limit is now 150.
-> JADU no longer converts DOS commands to uppercase, thus
allowing case sensitive switches to be used.
-> Fixed a bug which disallowed the use of an external
file finder. Now allowed (as it should have been all
along).
-> Fixed bug where JADU went through the motions of
allowing you to rename the root directory
-> Added the new command <U>pdate to reload all directory
information. This allows the easy changing of disks in
floppy drives, if nothing else (IE. you no longer have
to use the <N>ew path command when changing floppies,
just hit 'U')
-> Fixed bug where copied files received the current date,
not the date of the original file.
-> Removed check for '.ARC' file extension in ARC
commands. You can now use any
compression/extraction/library utility you want.
-> The keyboard buffer is no longer cleared on startup, so
typeahead is now possible while you're waiting for the
directory/file scan to complete.
-> The BIOS read/write option no longer exists. It was of
doubtful use to begin with, was extremely slow and
annoying to use, and (most of all) I needed the room.
Needless to say, the F8 command has gone the way of the
dinosaur. So has the BIOS/DMA field in the
configuration file (see CHANGES.CNF).
-> Flicker prevention can only be specified in the
configuration file now (i.e. F7 will no longer toggle
the option).
-> JADU now allows the use of any print utility. An
additional line has been added to the configuration
file for this purpose. If you wish to continue using
DOS Print you must specify it on this line (see
CHANGES.CNF)
-> Fixed bug in which the Print Tree and Print Directory
commands occasionally did not print the last few lines
until the next print command.
-> The file name display has been changed to look like the
DOS DIR display (i.e. the extensions line up)
-> The single dot and double dot directory entries have
been replaced with '<current>' and '<parent>'.
-> The '0K' file size has confused many people. To avoid
confusion only those files that actually contain 0
bytes are now marked as '0K'. Files where the size
rounds to zero are marked '1K'. All others are marked
with their true rounded size.
-> Added feature in which JADU will retain a data file
containing the directory tree information. This file
will be kept only if the environmental variable JADUDIR
has been defined. (You can use the new <U>pdate command
