Version 3.0 7/29/88 --------------------- Initial commercial release Version 3.05 9/14/88 --------------------- Fixed problems with messages flashing too fast to be seen Changed gadgets so they are disabled while processing Added 'BadDemo.arc' file this is the latest demo, see the Read.Me file in the Arc file for more info If you are using the FFS and would like v3.1 (Same as 3.05 + FFS support) Let us know when updating! v3.1 is available on request ONLY! (At least until CA gets their act together) Version 3.1- 10/13/88 ---------------------- FFS Support Added Version 3.11- 1/8/89 --------------------- Fixed Problem encountered with GVP Hard disks Replaced Exec DoIO() function with custom code to handle bug in GVP harddisk driver. Version 3.15- 5/26/89 --------------------- Removed ChangeNum, DiskState, and ProtStatus calls when processing Harddisks. This should fix problems with incomplete drivers. However, We disable Validation and when Validation is re-enabled DOS sends DiskState and ProtStatus commands before calling the disk validator, this may be why some drives Lock-Up or even GURU at the end of processing??? We added an Update call and a delay just before re-enabling Validation, so the disk structure will be correct even if the Amiga locks, just reboot, when the drive is mounted the Validator will correct the bit-map on the drive. We also improved some of the longer loops and shrunk the code a little, this should help to shorten processing times. Some users have reported that B.A.D. GURUs if two Identical disk are inserted into the drives. *** This problem is caused by DOS NOT B.A.D. !!! *** Your Amiga will GURU ANYTIME two identical disks are inserted. Please let me know if you still have problems! Contrary to the disclaimer, we are here to help, (This is the third FREE UPDATE we have done because of inconsistencies and non-compliance by the programers who are writing the device drivers that we all depend on!) However, due to the nature of the program we cannot be held responsible for lost data because someone didn't bother to back-up their hard disk. Version 3.15a- 7/04/90 --------------------- Corrected Root-Black calculation. Version 4.0- 2/1/91 -------------------- First major revision Added: New user interface - this will be the style of all programs to come New Grid Display - Shows you graphically what B.A.D is doing New Test Mode - Disk structure analysis New Virtual Memory - All but Eliminates memory constraints New Bells and Whistles: Estimated time of completion based on system time and device speed Elapsed time display ScreenFlash at process complete or on error Pretty much everything is new, even the language is new we converted over to JForth Professional by Delta Research. It offers true JSR threading, optimized code, faster compiles, etc. etc. We hope you will like all of the improvements, and don't worry there is more to come. We still have a few more things we want to do so look for another update around this same time next year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Effective 1/1/89 Price: $49.95 ______________________________ / Dealers and Distributors / ==============================/ / Please Call: / Send $$$ to: Centaur Software 213/542-2226/ (DEALERS & Distributors ONLY!)/ Mark Hellman ==============================/ P.O.
