This release of FMSUTL is a maintenance release.
I found a bug in it that would stop with an error at address 2E4D:0C2D.
This was caused by my DIR.CAT file containing more than 25 lines.
This release corrects that problem and adds the ability to list up to
224 categories on the screen at the same time. Granted just the category
codes you have chosen are displayed, but, this should not cause too big
of a problem as the codes should be familiar to you anyway. I keep a hard
copy of my DIR.CAT at the computer anyway in the event I think up a new
category to confuse my users with.
I know of another bug in the program and it will be fixed, most likely,
by the time you read this. Nevertheless, this release will not read the
last entry in your Master listing and your uploaded files listing into
the arrays. This can be accounted for by appending a cursor return/line
feed sequence after the last entry in both files. Adding this CR/LF to
the Master file, however, causes the new descriptions to follow the
CR/LF and not immediately following the last previous entry. This causes
the end result to be a blank line in the master file which you will have
to delete. As I have said, it will be gone by the time you read this, so
start looking for 2.0c or 2.1a soon.
************************************************************************
Release 2.0c
This, again is a maintenance release.
I took out the registration routines so the config files you were using
with the older releases will have to be changed slightly. Just do away
with the first line and then they should work fine.
I also added what was an obvious oversight on my part. The older versions
would only append the information to an existing FMS listing while scanning
the upload directory and create a new file while scanning the download
directory. This version will allow you to use either for either appending
or creating a new listing.
I'm still pounding away at the CR/LF problem mentioned above. Hopefully it
will be gone in the next release (2.1a).
2.1a also will be the first to include a batch mode so it may be a while
in the making. It will allow you to automatically move files from one
directory to another and, hopefully, call the RBBS utilities to check the
files for integrity.
If you have some ideas about what I should do with this please feel free
to contact me at the address listed in the docs. I am always looking for
a good idea.
