IMPROVEMENTS IN VERSION 3.21
Remove the accelerator key from the 'Search and Delete' selection
in the pull down menu.
Fixed the following problems:
- An occasional lock-up when viewing very small files.
- Each time the main menu system was called it would allocate memory
but never free it up. This caused DIS to continually grow in
memory.
- Under certain conditions when Backing up files, the files would
be wrote to the root directory.
- A few other cosmetic abnormalities.
IMPROVEMENTS IN VERSION 3.20
Added a Demo Program
- An automated demonstration program has been added. This
resident program will step through both configuring
and basic operation of Dis.
Improved Critical Error Handler
- If trying to access a drive that is not ready, the options are now
Retry, Abort to startup drive, or Change to another drive.
- If trying to write to a write protected disk, the options are now
Retry, Abort to startup drive, or Ignore the error.
Delete an entire directory branch
- It is now possible to delete a directory and all of the
underlying subdirectories.
Copy Status Box
- A status box is now displayed when copying files. This box
graphically displays the status of the copy job.
Removed Flicker
- Changing to and from directories windows no longer caused flicker.
Expanded the Control Drive letter short-cut
- It is now possible to use control A to control Z for short-cut
drive changes.
Shadowed Windows
- Added window shadows to many of the prompting windows.
Added DesqView Support
- Dis will now run in a DesqView (graphic) window.

IMPROVEMENTS IN VERSION 3.17
Added the ability to initially activate both directory windows.
- Example: dis c:\temp d:\
This will load up 'c:\temp' in one window and 'd:\' in the other.
Added ability to choose the sort option from the command
line prompt. (overriding the default sort option)
- Example: dis -e
This will load the directory with the extensions sorted.
Added a whole new file browser.
- The new browser is able to scroll one line at
a time, scroll a whole page, and jump to the end or
beginning of a file (no matter how large).
Added the ability to remove either the left or right
file window if there are two windows active.
'Alt R' and 'Alt L'
Added ability to select user macros from a 'Macro Menu'.
Added a 'Jump to file' function.
Added the following short-cut keys:
PrtSc Mark all files
Grey + Select extensions for marking
Grey - Unmark all
Drives can now be easily changed by pressing the control
key, followed by the desired drive letter.
( The old 'Alt' method had several problems )
Directory Tree File name has changed.
Previous versions of dis used a different file name to save
the directory structure. The new tree algorithm arranges the
data differently from the old files. Dis now creates a file
named 'DIS_X.TRE' (X = the drive letter). You MUST rescan and
save all of your directories with the new version.
Macro File name has changed
Version 3.16 used a file named 'DIS_MAC' to store the macro
information. Version 3.17 incorporates more information into
the macro file. Therefore the file name was changed to
'DIS.MAC'.

IMPROVEMENTS IN VERSION 3.16
Added User definable macros. (Alt 1 -> Alt 9).
- To view the Macros press Alt 0.
Added a menu selection for processing archived files.
- This becomes active when you press return on a .zip or .arc file.
Enable lower case characters (for command line arguments)
when accessing DOS commands (some programs are case sensitive).
Enable the removal the second drive window ( Alt R ).

IMPROVEMENTS IN VERSION 3.13
Dis now selects functions with either the pulldown menus, or
by using the Function and Alt Key combinations. To view the
new short-cut keys, press F1 for 'Quick Help'.
The directory tree has also been upgraded. It uses an entirely
different algorithm which enables the construction of a more
realistic looking tree.
