Short: Patches Fiasco 2.01 to 2.02 Author: nils@dinoex.sub.org (Nils Bandener) Uploader: nilsb@warburg.netsurf.de (Nils Bandener) Type: biz/dbase Fiasco Release 2.02 =================== This is a patch release, which patches Fiasco release 2.01 (Version 5.459) to Fiasco release 2.02 (Version 5.476). Fiasco 2.02 fixes some important bugs in Fiasco 2.0. For a list of the changes, see the Fiasco documentation. The patch can be automatically applied to the installed Fiasco 2.01 distribution using the included Installer script. Thus, if you still have Fiasco 2.0, you have to apply the Fiasco 2.01 patch first, which is available on Aminet in the archive biz/dbase/Fiasco_2_01pch.lha Fiasco 2.0 is also available on Aminet. The distribution is located in the directory biz/dbase in the archives described below: Fiasco_main.lha Contains the main program, libraries, locale catalogs and example databases. Fiasco_doc_eng.lha Contains the english documentation in AmigaGuide and TeX-DVI format. Fiasco_doc_deu.lha Contains the german documentation in AmigaGuide and TeX-DVI format. Fiasco_doc_ita.lha Contains the italian documentation in AmigaGuide and TeX-DVI format (Not finished yet, will be uploaded to Aminet later). Features: --------- - Dynamic record loading.
