WHATS51D
WHATS51D is the followup to 50D, which is explained below. The
version of CDP in this package is CDPSW50.EXE which shows 501D on its screen.
VERS-501.ME is contained in all packages as being explanatory of them all.
The only differences in the SW packages is the WHATS??? file and the
CDPSW??.EXE file.
WHATS50D
A Word on the "Version Number"
This particular .ZIP package, CDPSW50D.ZIP, contains CDPSW50.EXE,
which is the companion of the new version of CDP that uses 43 lines on EGAs
as its default mode. CDPSW50.EXE displays 50 lines on VGA monitors.
The companion package, CDPSW43B.ZIP, contains CDPSW.EXE, which
displays 43 lines (suppressable default) on EGA & VGA monitors. It uses
2 KB less memory when resident. Another package, CDPSW43C.ZIP contains
CDPSW25.EXE which displays only 25 lines but uses 7 KB less memory.
CDPSW50D contains CDPSW50.EXE, which displays 50 lines on a VGA
monitor as its default.
The B, C or D in the last letter of the name do not refer to
incremental version numbers; but rather to the nature of the version.
B has been the version suffix for the regular CDP (as opposed to
CDPW2.EXE, the version with 2 directory trees, available only with CDP
registration; which is suffixed with an A.)
CDPSW.EXE shows 430B on its screen when it runs. CDPSW25.EXE shows
430C and CDPSW50.EXE shows 500D. The registered .EXEs are CDPW2.EXE, CDP.EXE,
CDP25.EXE, and CDP50.EXE, all of which are in the registered package, and
display 430A, 430B, 430C, 500D, respectively.
The last previous .ZIP package was CDPSW16G.ZIP. CDPSW43B.ZIP,
CDPSW43C.ZIP, and CDPS500D.ZIP are the immediate successors; they are equally
up to date; and there is no CDPSW43A.ZIP.
To distinguish future .ZIP distributions, the names will be changed to
CDPSW44B, CDPSW44C, CDPSW50D, etc. -- at least so long as it is felt
valuable to have the separate versions for different monitors. It seems
worthwhile, since I see no reason why a user with a non-EGA-VGA monitor
should sacrifice valuable memory for a feature that is useless to him.
