┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SOURCEWARE ARCHIVAL GROUP │
│ NEW ADDITIONS TO READER.EXE VERSION 3.xx │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
1. There was error with the SWAG title routine that caused it to add about
100 bytes to the end of each .SWG file if items were killed or the headers
were edited. This had no effect on the fuctionality of the program. This is
now fixed and all future accesses to the files will truncate the empty
space.
2. Fixed the problem in READER 3.11 that gave an error after you opened the
15th file for viewing. This was caused by a failure to close all of the
open file handles on exit.
3. The PRINT funciton line counter was incorrectly counting the lines as
the snipet was printed. Will now only allow 55 lines per page.
4. Added the COPY/MOVE functions. Pressing CTRL[C] (Copy) or CTRL[M] (Move)
will allow these features.
5. Added HISTORY lists to most of the input lines. Try GREP swag several
times to see this work. After the first one, you will see a down arrow key
indicating that a history list is available for this input. This feature
also works for find in the packet window and on several of the file name
input lines.
6. Fixed a problem with the minus('-') key not working properly.
7. Fixed a problem with the SWAGADDS= switch. Previously, even if ADDS were
not displayed at the top, CPU time was still taken. To turn ADDS off, set the
SWAGADDS=NO in the READER.INI file.
8. Fixed a problem with the printer selection. Now properly allow you to
select printers 1-3 attached to your system. If printer is not valid, LPT1
will be defaulted.
9. Fixed reported error on FIND in snipet window. It would not search the
very NEXT item following the one displayed at the cursor.
10. Entirely changed the FIND process on the main snipet screen to permit
alphanumeric character searching (SPEED SEARCH). In order to do this,
ALT[F] is now the FIND command key sequence. To find something within the
snipet windows just type. The search string will be displayed at the bottom
left corner of the snipet window, and the cursor will automatically move to
the matching item. Numbers are permitted too. Try entering '19', and you
will be moved to the 19th item in the window assuming there is one.
11. Some users reported a considerable delay while SWAG programs looked for
the .SWG files on their disks. This problem has been eliminated by adding
the environment varible SWAG to allow total override of the SWAGDIR= switch
in the READER.INI. Use the command :
SET SWAG=yourpath
at the DOS prompt to set this. This then become the ABSOLUTE location that
READER and other programs use to as the beginning path for SWAG files and
WILL OVERRIDE you setting in the READER.INI file.
12. Added SHOWSTATS= switch to the READER.INI. With this set to YES or
TRUE, the READER starts in STAT mode.
ADDITIONS AS OF AUGUST 1995
---------------------------
1. Fixed the TIMESTAMP problem where READER would update time/date on the
SWG file even if you didn't delete or add any snipets to the archive.
2. When clicking on the down arrow in the list box, mouse cursor would jump
one step up and two to the left, resulting in a down scroll and then a
selection of the file at the bottom of the visible list. This would only
happen when the selection bar has moved to the bottom, and the list starts
to scroll. Now mouse cursor is better behaved.
3. Provided a directory picker for the extract article inputline. (for
folks with long paths who dislike typing). You access the directory
selection tree by using the down arrow key when the input box in on screen.
Also, a check is made for valid paths and a valid file name. Failure to
enter these will produce an error message.
ADDITIONS AS OF NOVEMBER 1995
-----------------------------
1. There were NOT any major changes to the READER this time. Mostly
cosmetic. The version number should be 3.12
2. Modified the line counter so that snipets greater than 999 lines would
display properly.
3. Some users STILL reporting a considerable delay while SWAG programs
looked for the .SWG files on their disks. This problem can be eliminated
by adding the environment varible SWAG to allow total override of the
SWAGDIR= switch in the READER.INI. Use the command :
SET SWAG=yourswagfilespath { including drive letter}
at the DOS prompt to set this. This then become the ABSOLUTE location that
READER and other programs use to as the beginning path for SWAG files and
WILL OVERRIDE you setting in the READER.INI file. Try it, you'll like the
SWAG programs a LOT better.
4. In the snipet window, TAB gets next record, SHIFT+TAB get previous record.
5. Fixed the ALT+T, ALT+U so that it tags and untags all of the items in
the snipet window. Once tagged, F4 will now allow zapping of all tagged
items, or extraction to a directory on your disk.
ADDITIONS FOR MAY, 1996
-----------------------
1. Change input routines in READER so that european characters can be
recognized. Also converted to country specific uppercase routines.
2. Fixed problem with the F5 stat function occaisionally returning an
error.
3. Cleaned up GREP function to permit more available memory on long
searches. Also fine tuned GREP code to make it a bit faster. At this point,
a user would need approximately 400K of free memory to use the READER and
perform a search.
