What's new?
---1.0
The nightmar... er, legacy begins!
---1.2
Added the jim dandy opening screen!
Made the cursor show up on some parts so you wouldn't be thouroughly
confused
Made the purging of articles a LOT easier to do.
Made a countdown appear on "Updating Files" so you wouldn't think
the computer locked up.
Made the news say "EZNews 1.2" :)
---1.22
Added the CUSTOM COLORS feature!
Made the "key file" available so you would get recognition if you
sent me money. (This key file will in NO WAY improve the program, it's
just a little recognition for you! In otherwords, this is STILL free-
ware!)
Got rid of the EXEcutable Docs because some people complaining about
too much creativity and color! :)
Thought about putting this on the Shareware Distribution Network (that
was my incentive for the key file!)
---2.0b (unofficial test release)
Used "Tiny Edit 3.0" instead of Qedit due to a possible copyright
problem.
Added windows to the configuration so it blends better.
Added support for multiple data files.
Crushed all the ANS and ASC files into one huge DAT file for each
conference!
Added the option of rebuilding. This is so you don't waste 5 minutes
rebuilding the News file when you didn't do anything to it.
Removed the stupid -*Already Deleted*- thing. Because of the new
structure, everything else is moved up one slot when something is deleted!
Fixed some problem when scrolling on the purge individual articles.
Basically TOTALLY rewrote the DOCs becuase of the multi-conference
support! :)
Fixed a menu problem when comfirming for deletion.
Added beeps when an invalid key was pressed on a question.
Added (E)dit an article!
Now restores MOST of the original screen when returning from the
editor (don't ask me WHY the whole thing isn't restored!)
Added a "Please Wait" when some things are being read and written.
NOTE: Do NOT try and use this for an excuse to prove to your friends how
FAST your computer is. 90% of the time, the window won't be up for more
than a TENTH of a second! (unless you're using a FLOPPY DRIVE!) :)
Made the main menu look just a tad nicer.
Realized that monochrome doesn't work to well, so I added a "Require-
ments" area to the DOC's.
Surprisingly, INCREASED the speed of creating the ANSi and ASCii news
files!
Removed the now-redundant EZDEL.COM.
---2.0 (official 10th of June release)
Added some clicking noises here and there to spruce up the program a
bit.
Fixed a bug with the background color being used.
Made the key sequences in the DAT file a LOT harder to accidentaly use
in normal text (ie, instead of using ░▒▓ as a key, which could be quite
common and then crash the program, ûó is used instead!)
Added routines to handle cursor control aand other extended codes from
the keyboard. Before, it would print TWO characters if you pressed a
direction key. Now it just beeps at you and prints NOTHING! Also found
that using TAB would result in BAD messups, too.
