This file describes the changes in the last version (1.13)
In this version (1.13) few bugs are fixed.
Added support of XMS reallocate function. Prior versions did not allow
other programs to reallocate an XMS handle to larger size from COMBI's
resources. Though there are not many programs that need this feature.
In fact, I know only one of them: Microsoft MASM 6.0.
Added support for XMS 3.0 functions. Probably, that is desirable for
Windows.
Now when COMBI is queried for free XMS memory it includes into consideration
the memory used by dirty cache blocks as well, assuming that if XMS is
requested the blocks might be updated and the memory released.
Default installation parameters are changed: COMBI 1.13 tries to allocate
all available XMS memory, creates RAM disk of maximum size and release as
much of its buffer as is available (i.e. total buffer size minus RAM disk
boot sector, FAT and root directory size) if otherwise is not explicitly
specified (see the README for more detail).
When asked by COMBI.COM to increase buffer size so that the resulting size
would be greater than that on installation, COMBI attempts to retrieve
as much of its setup buffer as possible. No error is returned in this case
if the resulted buffer becomes larger.
COMBI.COM checks whether its output is not redirected and whether ANSI.SYS
driver is installed before producing colour output.
COMBI.COM displays status/statistics only if no options are given. Otherwise
it reports only whether the options or buffer size were successfully changed.
COMBI 1.13 accepts MS-DOS version 6.00.
