-
- UHS.EXE Changes Since Version 1.00
- ==================================
-
- 1.51: All features are enabled for unregistered users (save picture to file,
- disable hint counting, and open multiple UHS files without exiting to
- DOS are available).
- Mouse click clears the screen after a picture has been displayed.
- They're back! -- occasional (*very* occasional) registration reminders,
- that is.
-
- 1.50: Reminders to register the program have been reduced substantially.
- Writes directly to video memory for much faster picture display.
- The program now searches in the same directory as UHS.EXE for UHS.INI
- and UHS_REG.TXT files for registered users to follow standards used in
- the TSR version.
- Fixes runtime error #104 that appeared when an invalid directory was
- specified.
- The register dialog box will now accept registration codes for the TSR
- reader. The dialog box will automatically be filled with your name
- and code if you have already entered this data.
- The documentation has been updated to make note of the terminate and
- stay resident (TSR or "pop-up") version of the UHS reader.
-
- 1.40: YEAH! Prettier "About UHS" and "About this Program" dialog boxes!
- The ENTER key (in addition to the space bar) can now be used to select
- an item in a list box.
- "Print", "Previous", and "Save" window commands added.
- All menu commands are disabled when not applicable.
- The "white square" bug that appeared in some registered copies has now
- been fixed.
- Arrows on scroll bars always move through choices one at a time. In
- previous versions, the arrows sometimes skipped through several items
- at a time with longer lists.
- "Windows | Close All" has been renamed "Clean Up" to more accurately
- reflect the option's purpose.
- Exit from program is now confirmed with a dialog box.
- Upper-right corner of screen displays registration status (name or
- "UNREGISTERED").
-
- 1.30: Counts the number of clues for each question. Registered users [all
- users by version 1.51] can disable the count if they want to.
- Picture display is now about 25% faster than in previous versions.
- Verbose file open added.
- Several common errors are recognized and an appropriate text message is
- displayed in place of a simple error number.
-
- 1.20: Adds registration dialog box to make registration simpler.
- Removes the drop-to-DOS function for unregistered users.
- Corrects minor bugs in the picture display routine. The border now
- will always be in black, and the first line of pixels is properly
- drawn.
-
- 1.10: Adds support for EGA systems while displaying pictures.
- Removes the run-time errors that sometimes appeared after a picture
- was displayed or after an invalid filename was entered.
- Reminders to register are displayed in different places.
-
- 1.01: Corrects an error that falsely reported that a file transfered through
- the XMODEM protocol was corrupt.
-
-
-
- UHSTSR/TSRB Changes Since Version 1.00
- ======================================
-
- 1.10: Swapping to disk supported for systems without EMS memory.
- Minimum hardware requirement reduced to 286.
- Decrease in memory usage (from 50K to 40K after installation).
- UHSTSRB now uninstalls completely.
- UHSTSRB no longer doubles keystrokes when another TSR program is loaded
- after it, so this version does not need to be loaded as the last TSR.
- But TSRB no longer protects other TSR programs from losing control to
- the more difficult games.
- UHSTSRB will now run correctly under games where it locked out the
- keyboard -- both TSRB and the game now receive keystrokes, where only
- TSRB would before.
- And in general, UHSTSRB is more compatible with games than it was in
- version 1.00.
- Expanded hint display for unregistered users.
