'This file is being created to document changes/bug fixes/new features in
Menu Commando II.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.00 December 13, 1989
-Official release of MCII
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.01 December 16, 1989
-Fixed windowing bug in DOS shell. If you executed more than 30+ commands from
the DOS shell, Menu Commando II would run out of window handles and start
messing the screen up.
-Screen was redrawn twice when leaving the DOS shell thus giving a "bouncy"
look.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.02 December 17, 1989
-MCII speeded the keyboard up by default on AT class machines. This has been
taken out temporarily until a keyboard setup procedure can be put into the
program.
-Under the System Configuration screen, MCII displayed the highest possible
logical drive letter; the drive did not necessarily exist though. So now
MCII just displays the highest valid drive letter.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.03 December 18, 1989
-In multi-user mode, MCII displayed the 30 second shareware screen everytime
a user logged off. This was not intended.
-Changed duration of original signon screen from 30 seconds to 10 seconds.
Several people have informed us that we don't have to put any delay to get
registration from users who use our product; so we'll see!!!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.04 December 28, 1989
-Shareware screen came up uninvited everytime a program was run from batch mode.
-Changed duration of original signon screen from 10 seconds to 3 seconds.
-Fixed problem with screen blanker initiated from Command Center (Alt-Minus).
-Got rid of overlay structure. This caused too many problems for beginning
users.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.05 December 31, 1989
-Recoded screen blanker. It nows blanks the screen completely rather than having
the dancing clock! To deactivate the screen blanker, one of the shift keys
should be pressed (left shift, right shift, alt, or control).
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.06 January 1, 1990
-Separated help module from main program. The help module will be used for
all COMMANDO products and PC-SWEEP Version 3.00.
-Making a new directory in the directory maintenance displayed the new
directory twice in the tree.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.07 January 2, 1990
-Screen blanker time was not reset when a key was pressed.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.08 January 4, 1990
-The shareware screen is displayed only when the program is first loaded rather
than every 20 minutes.
-Separated editor module from MCII. The editor module will be used for all
COMMANDO products and PC-SWEEP version 3.00.
-MCII now allows the PC-COORDINATOR/single user to select an external editor
other than the COMMANDO editor. This is done under the Setup Menu. Use the
help function more details.
-Added a TSR uninstaller and cancel program option. If you run TSRS with an
application program and wish to have them released from memory upon return
to Menu Commando II, set the run mode in the program definition to
SWAP OUT MCII. Setting the run mode to SWAP OUT MCII also has the additonal
benefit of being able to terminate a locked up program (this is only possible
if the keyboard is alive) by pressing the CTRL-SHIFT-DEL keys simulataneously.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.09 January 5, 1990
-Menu Commando Now will detect all drives on system correctly.
-Optimized code about 3k worth.
-Memory map showed garbage for the filename on some DOS commands - the garbage
has been replaced with '??'.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.10 January 17, 1990
-Editor setup reported "program directory needed" if "Use COMMANDO editor"
was toggled on and there was no external program defined!
-Changed "Pause when done" option in program definition screen to
"Action when done"; this field has been enhanced with the following
actions:
1) Return to MCII
Returns to MCII when the program is exited.
2) Pause & return to MCII
Waits until a key is pressed before returning to MCII,this
lets you view the information shown when the program exits.
3) Pause & exit MCII
Waits until a key is pressed before clearing the screen and exiting
MCII.
4) Exit MCII
Clears the screen and exits MCII when the program exits.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.11 January 18, 1990
-Fixed a possible incompatibility with some EMS software emulators.
-Changed the way the shareware notice screen and reminder is displayed for
unregistered copies of MCII. The delay is now based on the number of times
a user executes programs from MCII - each time a program is executed, 1/10
of a second will be added to the delay.
Example: If the user executes programs from MCII 100 times and still don't
register, the next time he runs MCII he will have to look at the
shareware screen for 10 seconds!
The shareware screen will also be displayed to the user after every
multiple of 20 program runs!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.12 February 11, 1990
-Fixed incompability with drives setup with the ASSIGN command.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 1.13 March 21, 1990
-Fixed lockup when the directory tree was brought up in program setup. This bug
was introduced in version 1.12.
