Thank you for evaluating StupenDOS 4.0.
If you find StupenDOS useful, please register the software. The file
ORDER.SD contains an order form. StupenDOS is only $35 + shipping.

New Features:
-------------
* Support for PKZIP 2.x
* Pressing TAB from the COPY/MOVE or DOS CALL windows will
guess at filenames for you. For example, if you want to
copy to \WINDOWS, type in
\W
and press TAB. Pressing TAB again will display the next match.
* SD detects if you change windows and a new floppy disk was
inserted and asks you if you would like to reread the disk.
* The USR code 4008 has been added. This allows you to specify
what filespec is deleted from the entire drive. It work as
follows:
USR: DelPass;4008;*.TMP
This would delete all .TMP files from the current drive.
* Nearly every key is now programmable. The ALT keys used for
the PullDown menus are not programmable, but most every other
key is. See the SD.PRO file for examples.
* In the Tree, pressing SHIFT UPARROW or SHIFT DOWNARROW, will
go up or down to the directory that is at that level. For
example, if you are in the \123 directory, which has MACROS
as a subdirectory, pressing SHIFT DOWNARROW will skip the
subdirectories of \123, and locate itself on the next
subdirectory of the root directory.
* File Finder - pressing ENTER will change to the directory
where the highlighted file is located.
* Left Handed Mouse capability has been added to the Mouse
Setup Window.
* You can now configure if StupenDOS will write itself to
memory before running external programs. You can also specify
what type of memory to use (XMS, EMS, UMA, or even disk).
* Running an external DOS command will use the colors present
when StupenDOS was first run.
* SD can be configured to locate the file cursor on the directory
you exited when pressing ENTER on "..". For example, if you are
in the \UTIL\SD directory, and you change to the \UTIL directory,
SD will automatically highlight the SD directory. This option
can also be disabled.
* When opening a second file Window, SD can be configured to open
the second window in the highlighted directory. If this option
is disabled, the default directory will be displayed in the
second window.
* The TREE display can be displayed in sorted order.
* You can now sort the files in the filelist by file tags.
* The PKZIP and PKUNZIP screens now display ZIP File Comments.
* Added a "Select All Drives" option in the File Finder and
Reread Tree screens.
* Added a "Bytes Used" indicator in the TREE. Rather than
showing the % occupied, you can display the bytes used.
Press '%' to toggle. If you then save the setup, this will
become permanent.
* Pressing '=' in the tree screen will show detailed information
about the highlighted directory and its subdirectories. Very
useful for big hard disks.
* Added an option for DesqView users that makes StupenDOS DV aware.
* Mouse clicking is now configurable! You can select single or
double clicks from the SETUP | MOUSE OPTIONS screen.
* Added USR options for sorting, and for copying and moving to
the other window.
* Made the PKZIP screen quicker to use.
* Added a COMPARE FILE option. Allows you to compare by many
different methods (TIME/DATE, SIZE, CONTENTS, Etc).
* You can now tag multiple files by dragging the mouse over the
desired files.
* You can now scroll the filelist by dragging the scroll marker.
* Added %t to the list of things you can pass to an external
program. This passes a list of the tagged files. If you
wanted to pass two names to the program AWESOME.EXE, you could
add the following to SD.PRO.
USR: AWESOME;;AWESOME %t
%T uses tagged files from the other window if it is open.
* Enabled more mouse handling in the FileFinder. A double click
will exit the File Finder and change directory to the directory
where that file is located.
* If you start SD in 50 line mode, running a DOS call would put
the video in 25 line mode. This has been fixed. SD will now
put the video in the same mode it was in before SD was started.
* Added OTHER and BOTH to the "Reread after ZIP/UNZIP" option in
the setup.
* Added LOCATEFILEDIR 11546 to the accepted SD.PRO values. This
works like LOCATE, but will also search for directories. To
make ALT '/' invoke this, use
k:309;11546;
Bug Fixes, enhancements:
------------------------
- Reading the SD.TRE file sometimes omitted directory entries
- Fixed Problem logging onto unformatted disks
- Does not pass -e to PKUNZIP (2.x compatible)
- Use of commas in large numbers
- If a temporary drive is specified in the setup, this will be
- used by PKZIP.
- The looping command in SD.PRO now works.
- Edit All Tagged and Type All Tagged now work.
- The %l in SD.PRO no longer passes a '@' by default.
- You can reread the tree from the COPY | Select From Tree window.
- Changing directories in the TREE with the mouse did not update the
directory information.
- Some enhanced CGA video boards would make SD think it was an EGA
board. This would make SD think that highlighted background
colors were legal. To force SD to think your video card is CGA,
start SD with the /EGA-option. To reverse this, start SD with
the /EGA+ option. Make sure you save the setup after using this
option. You will not have to specify it again if you save the
setup.
- Eliminated the delete screen when in NOVICE mode.
- Fixed the problems with rereading the tree.
- Prune and graft did not always update the tree display properly.
- The Mouse speed is now reset after running external programs.
- The right button of the mouse will now abort a File Find.
- STAMP TIME did not work on network drives where write access
is denied. A error message is now displayed.
- Using a single digit date or time in the Stamp Time/Date window
didn't work properly.
- Added '1' to use in the USR file to signify a blank line
USR:;1;
- Made the mouse locate where it was before running an external
program.
- After a format, the volume label was not displayed properly.
