Now a "+" is appended to signalize that a file ist bigger than reported. + Message "Extracting " in the titlebar when extracting archives. * Help: The order of commands has slightly changed. * NEXT doesn't clear the screen title any longer. - BUG: Next sometimes displayed an additional line (rubbish) when the displayed file didn't fill the window and the bottom command was performed. - BUG in MatchFiles: The busypointer didn't disappear if no file had been found. - BUG: MyFiles didn't display all files if ENV:next.files had no comment at the beginning. Caused by an "improvement" :-( - BUG? Raphael Pilarczyk reported MuForce hits when the reqtools filerequester was opened or closed. I couldn't find the cause because there are no hits on my system. According to the output of MuForce the hits are produced by reqtools. I changed the code a little bit hoping that MuForce will stay quiet now. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 267 57.4% 17-Nov-95 21:23:44 Next3.01.info 40608 30857 24.0% 19-Mar-01 09:09:30 +Next 1174 332 71.7% 16-Oct-00 17:29:18 +Next.info 68142 27412 59.7% 19-Mar-01 09:11:04 +NextD.guide 731 637 12.8% 16-Oct-00 17:30:40 +NextD.guide.info 58514 22688 61.2% 19-Mar-01 09:11:20 +NextE.guide 731 637 12.8% 16-Oct-00 17:30:24 +NextE.guide.info 3081 1580 48.7% 19-Mar-01 09:33:00 Next3.01.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 173609 84410 51.3% 24-Mar-101 07:53:14 8 files
