---------= Updates and bug fixes to fastmenu PLUS =-------- Copyright (C) 1990-91 By: Jack W Hildenbrand ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates to V4.0 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 >- The Phone Book now has a new option that allows printing a sorted or searched list or to address labels. 2 >- In the Money Book module, the date formats have been changed to the standard date format (mm-dd-yy). 3 >- The time is now displayed along with the logo during screen blanking. 4 >- The module Icons or prompts may now be re-assigned to run any application on your system. 5 >- fastmenu PLUS now can be setup in either of two different startup screen modes. This can be done through the (S)etup module option (9). Mode 1 >- In this mode fastmenu PLUS will display the page titles on the first screen at startup. Mode 2 >- In this mode fastmenu PLUS will display an application page on the first screen at startup. You may choose the page that is displayed first. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates to V4.1 Release 03-09-91 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 >- fastmenu PLUS now has two ways to exit to DOS. A >- Pressing the ESCape key will exit fastmenu PLUS and go directly to DOS, totally removing fastmenu PLUS from memory. To re-start after this exit, you must type 'FAST' at the DOS prompt. This exit may be disabled through the (S)etup module option (A). B >- Pressing the 'O' key will exit fastmenu PLUS by shelling to DOS. You may re-start fastmenu PLUS by typing 'EXIT' at the DOS prompt. Using this exit leaves a portion of fastmenu PLUS loaded in memory, making the return much faster. This exit may be password protected through the (S)etup module. 2 >- The time display now has the leading '0' removed from the day number. 3 >- Some color and prompt changes have been made throughout all modules. 4 >- The Disk utility module now has a new option on the first menu that provides a utility to search your system for a certain file or group of files. This routine will search any drive, directory or all directories on your system and is very fast. 5 >- The Disk utility file list screen now does not display active options to Copy, Delete, Rename, Start, View, Edit, and Fix files until you have tagged or marked at least one file. 6 >- The Disk utility file list screen now has a new option, (F)ix. This option provides a way to encrypt a file using a password that you provide. Encrypting a file with this option leaves it totally un-readable until you decrypt it through the same process using the exact password that you used to encrypt it. 7 >- The BatchDOS module now has a new option 'Utility'. Using this option will take you to a module that provides the following utilities. A >- Set or change your Mouse sensitivity rate or movement ratio. AT- B >- Set or change your keyboard key repeat delay rate and speed. AT- C >- Set your system Time and Date. D >- Toggle file write verify on or off. 8 >- The Setup module now has a new option 'A'. This option lets you determine whether a user may exit fastmenu PLUS. 9 >- The Info module now uses two pages. This eliminates the problem of some information scrolling off the top of your screen. Ver.4.1 Bug Fix Release 03-17-91 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During entering applications to the applications editor module the password would become confused at times due to the use of the (T)itle option. During page re-titleing the password variable would become lost. This problem is now fixed. In the utility file locate module, on some occasions the Disk Free Space and Disk Total Space prompts would display wrong numbers, this should now be fixed. From the file list menu in the utility module, the (E)dit option is now available without marking any files. This allows creating a new text file. The screen blanking routine at times was causing an illegal screen write, causing the program to drop out. This problem has been fixed. In the system utility module, the mouse sensitivity adjustment routine was causing a program drop out if the mouse driver was found to be un-compatible. This routine now first checks for compatibility and if found to be un-compatible it will prompt you and continue. In the phone book module, the (P)rint option was not accessable unless you were using a mouse. This problem is now fixed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE !! In the shareware version of fastmenu PLUS the screen blanking may not be turned off. However you may still set the time delay before screen blanking between 2 to 999 seconds.
