I hate all these text-files, but everybody else includes them with
their programs, so maybe I should do so too. :-)
Most (if not all) changes done to DOSED are caused by users telling
me their needs and whishes. That's good, I think. If I didn't know
there were lots of people out there using this program, I would have
given it up a long time ago. Well, here we go: (dates are d/m/y)
v5.17, 9/5/94 (published at garbo.uwasa.fi may 94)
* Fixed `bug' in trailing backslash removal: cd\ wouldn't work.
Now handles the first word different than the others: If any
trailing backslash is the only one in the word, it's kept.
Otherwise it's removed.
* Bundeled my old (and extremely simple) ALIAS program, for
those who want aliases (see ALIAS.DOC!!!).
v5.15, 12/4/94 (published at garbo.uwasa.fi apr 94)
* Added option (default on): -r for removing trailing back-
slashes. This was wish number one from most of you out there!
* Now tries to complete even if no part of a filename is
given (just when Tab is pressed of course :-) )
* No longer displays status info when deinstalled.
v5.0, 8/7/93 (published at garbo.uwasa.fi jul 93)
* No longer resets options to default. Use `-' after options
to disable previously selected options.
* Added clear to end of line. Set ^Q to this.
* Checking if a different version is already resident, to avoid
locking up the computer.
* Finally: Press Shift-Tab or ^Z for list of all possible
matching files! Wondering why I didn't use ^D for this? Well,
^D is used for other things. Didn't bother adding lots of
stuff to check if ^D should be this or that at a given cursor-
location. Think of it this way: ^Z is MD-DOS' end of file,
while ^D is the Unix variant.
* Options might start with '-' in addition to '/'.
* New option: -b for beeping if filename completion is in-
complete, or if there is no match at all.
* New option: -d to disable appending '\' to directory names
when completing.
* New option: -e for use of Emacs-keys instead of WordStar.
Needed special treatment, since ^P in Emacs means previous
line, while it means `echo to printer' in DOS. Disabled the
last one when in Emacs mode.
* New option: -l for converting characters in completed
filenames to lowercase.
* New option: -m<x> for entering minimum number of characters
that will allow a line to be stored in the history buffer.
Drawback: The resident size of the program increased from 2700
to 3200 bytes. Too bad! Hope it doesn't stop you from using it!
v4.1, 4/5/91 (published at garbo.uwasa.fi jun 93)
* ^Y to clear a line (as Esc).
* Other minor changes.
v4.0, 18/4/91
* New TSR-system allowing uninstall, and freeing the environ-
ment to save some bytes of memory.
v3.6, 9/3/91 (published at comp.binaries.ibm.pc apr 91)
* Translated from Norwegian to English, since there was a
request for a command line editor with filename completion on
comp.binaries.ibm.pc
:
: Program totally rewritten, restructured etc.
: Filename completion introduced in v3.0 7/4/90.
:
v1.0, 15/3/89
