History of the Mr. Machinist Program
====================================
1985 - A passing thought...
1990 - A Trig. program on a Vic 20...
1991 - Mr. Machinist Beta Version in Pascal...
1993 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.00 ( 10-31-93 )
1993 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.01 ( 12-15-93 )
Tried a mouse arrow instead of the block cursor
but their was a report of screen bugs so it's
back to the block cursor.
Bug found in Split CNC file function. Program
would lock up if a non-existing file was choosen.
1993 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.02 ( 12-21-93 )
Back to the mouse block cursor.
CNC File Split Function fixed.
1993 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.03 ( 01-05-94 )
Went to a version using an overlay file,
MRM.OVR. This will allow fewer memory
problems and allow the program to accept
other procedures in the future. The
single .EXE file version was just to
large.
Also added an Oblique Triangle function.
1994 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.04 ( 02-26-94 )
Re-compiled under Turbo Pascal Version 7.0.
1994 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.05 ( 03-23-94 )
Found bugs in last version. System would
lock-up if a 4 place decimal was input into
the 'Chip Load' input line in the 'Milling'
feed function.
System would also lock-up if you tried to
'Sequence' or 'Un-Sequence' a file.
Added a 'Bugs' help screen to main help
menu to display bugs from previous versions.
All Version 1.04 Bugs have been fixed.
1994 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.06 ( 03-30-94 )
Input line bugs in 1.05. Added info to
answer file upon sequence/un-sequence
execution.
1994 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.07 ( 04-06-94 )
Added extra 'spaces' function to sequence
and un-sequence. Also changed 'N' numbers
to 4 digits with leading zeros in these
functions.
1994 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.08 ( 05-05-94 )
Change of author address.!
1994 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.09 ( 05-18-94 )
Moved dialog boxes out of the way of menus,
caused execution of 'OK' button by striking
'Enter' on last input line, removed the bug
that caused system lock-up in 3 points on a
circle if a user input coordinates that rest
on a straight line, added a function in the
circle menu called, 'Pin in a Diamond' that
calculates a diameter within a four sided
symmetrical shape, added a printhelp choice
in the helpfile, revised the manual, fixed the
bug in the bolt circle function where if a user
used the function once then 'Escaped' out and
then used the function a second time right away
it would cause a system lock-up, changed the
views in 'bolt circle' and 'drill details' to
'editable' views.
1994 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.10 (06-18-94 )
Fixed a bug in some 1.09 versions. This was a
bug within the editor. If you struck 'Ctrl-Y'
to delete a line while you were in the editor
the program would exit to DOS. This bug is
taken care of and removed in this latest
version. Math on any input line that may
need it has been implemented. Basically the
same functions take affect in input lines as
they do in the calculator. The manual has been
revised since MRM109 and it to will continually
go through changes.
There have also been additions to the help file.
These additions are writtings from machinist
technicians that are very informative. They are
listed in the main help file window under the
heading, 'The Cutting Edge Files'. You will be
surprized at the content of these writtings. they
cause the machinist/engineer to think alittle more!
If you have an informative study of writtings that
you would like to see included in 'The Cutting Edge'
then just pick your best stuff and send it to us!
By sending your studies you automatically give us
permission to use them, if selected, in the programs
help file.
1994 - Mr. Machinist Version 1.10 (08-31-94)
Fixed a bug in the mill feed fuction. The inches per
minute answer would round off to the nearest whole
number. Now the number is a 2 place decimal.
Also added some info in the help file in the registration
section.
Mr. Machinist is one program that will continue to grow at a
very rapid pace. New versions are out bi-weekly or sooner and
bugs are fixed as soon as they are reported. Continual functions
and procedures are being implemented as fast as the author gets
time.
