Version.Txt Version history for Restore
***********
Last updated by Roedy Green 90/10/13
Version History:
Version 1:
- not released to the public
- restored all files ignoring the filespec
Version 2: released Christmas 1986
- /P /Q /S options.
- allowed you to select files to be restored.
Version 3: released to Charware subscribers Jan 28 1987
- fixed bug when restore had to handle 10 or more diskettes.
Version 4: released to BIX March 5 1987
- fixed bug RESTORE A: C:*.*/S in root directory did not work.
was treated as RESTORE A: C:\\*.*/S instead of C:\*.*/S
- fixed bug. Originally all disks in the backup set were
checked to makes sure they were created on the same day
to make sure they were part of the same set. Because backups
can be created with the /A option, it is possible each diskette
in the set is part of a different set. Thus the check was
removed.
Version 4.1: released May 8 1987
- version number now prints as part of the "Screwed up" message
- RESTORE.TXT documention separated from ASM source code
- change mailing address
Version 4.2: released July 9 1987
- beeps when wants disk
Version 4.3: released April 9 1988
- change of mailing address in banner
Version 4.4: released December 24 1988
- change of mailing address in banner
Version 5.0: released March 4 1989
- very limited distribution
- added support for DOS 3.3 through DOS 4.01
- this was a major rewrite that took many times
longer to write than the original. For this
reason Version 5.0 is not Charware, but rather
ShareWare.
Version 5.1: released May 24 1989
- more friendly, simpler, less technical error messages.
- fancier prompts.
- tidier source code.
- bug fixed that restored a file fragment when you inserted
the wrong diskette.
- avoid reprompting entire prompt when input bad.
- Abort Retry Ignore keystrokes no longer echo.
- / options no longer picky about leading space.
- warning message if source not A: or B:
- warning message if target not C: through G:
- fancier banner, with pause
Version 5.2: released July 26 1989
- add extra blank line ahead of insert disk prompt
- extra information on site licenses
- separate registering text.
- now assembled with Optasm
Version 5.3: released 1990 February 5
- there are bugs in DOS 2.0 and 2.1 that can
interfere with Restore.
- changes to Default_Subdir now account for the
DOS bug when DOS gives mixed upper and lower
case for the current directory and when DOS
sometimes give directory names that are
too long.
Version 5.4: released 1990 August 3
- better explanation of registration in banner.
Version 5.5: released 1990 October 13
- new documentation warning that RESTORE cannot restore
to a different directory.
- new docs on how to handle problem of a restoring a backup
when you don't know what is on it.
- better heading in the docs
- now works on LANS, no more IOCTL calls on hard drives.
- ^ now accepted as valid character in a filename.
- You can now assemble RESTORE in a way that makes it
more suitable as an install program for multi-disk
software packages.
- Some versions of DOS and some cachers have a bug that
they fail to notice when you change the diskette in a
floppy drive and thus give the program data from the previous
diskette instead of the current one. To bypass this
bug I added a disk reset just prior to each diskette
swap. The symptom is that the program claims diskette
1 is in the drive, and demands diskette 2, when in fact
you have already inserted diskette 2.
