Changes made for ConDir version 1.1 from 1.0 -------------------------------------------- * Hopefully cleaned up the curser handling a bit. A problem will still exist if the user holds down a key for too long if the machine cannot keep up. Not much more can be done here without some serious changes to the entire program (and the Amiga and the compiler and the ...). * Added option 'S' to the main screen. This allows the sysop (level 255) to add the selected file to a specific file area. At this time, the program doesn't check to see if the area exists or if it has an alternate directory specified. Let me know if you would like to see these options added. * Went back to maximum 78 column lines. I had reports that the screens were garbled when running terminal programs with line wrap engaged. * Size checking now works as advertised (I hope). * The GUI makeconfig program now has all options available and they should all work as advertised too. You can now specify the global "Check Sizes" option and the individual (per directory) "Move Files" options. Read the main docs about this if you don't know what these options are for. BTW, you probably don't have to edit your config unless you happen to want to change one or both of those two options. Changes made for ConDir version 1.2 from 1.1 -------------------------------------------- * Sysop option 'S' now uploads the .readme file as a description if there is one present. This is perhaps one of my favorite features at the present. * Support for alternate description files added. sffiles.bbs, dirx.lst, wildcat.txt, and files.bbs are now checked for and if found, used. * Support has been added for up to 100 possible directories. I can add support for more than that if anyone wants them. The MakeConfig utility was updated to handle the 100 maximum. I have tested up to 64 directories and haven't found any problems. Changes made for ConDir version 1.3 from 1.2 -------------------------------------------- * RIP support (yes RIP!) has been added. Use the key RIP in the command line to show RIP to the user. The RIP support is really, really BETA and the only reason I am telling you it is there is so you can play with it and give me some comments about it. The RIP graphics will be changing in the near future to be cleaner and better looking. At the present, all RIP is really used for is screen controls (instead of the keyboard). * Major code cleanup in progress. I would appreciate if someone could run enforcer and report any and all hits to me. I was having some guru problems, but I hope these are fixed. I really don't know what caused them, although I suspect it had something to do with memory allocation issues. Changes made for ConDir version 1.5 from 1.3 -------------------------------------------- NOTE: Version 1.4 was an internal BETA version. * Screen set to raw internally making the cursor keys perform a heck of a lot better. Now, you can hold down any of the cursor keys without trashing the screen. Wish I would have found the rawcon() function earlier. * Cursor keys can now be used instead of the keypad. All the normal kypad functions are still active. * MAJOR bug caught. I'm hoping this is the one that caused all the various problems I was having. Actually, I don't even know how the program was working at all. I've been running betas of 1.4 for about a month now and they seem awefully stable. Only had one crash I think when a user tried to mark a file in the aminet game/misc dir, but I believe this was fixed in a later revision. * Proper return codes added for both ConDir and the MakeConfig utility. Changes made for ConDir version 1.6 from 1.5 -------------------------------------------- * Fixed the "Display marked files" option hopefully List is now clean. * Worked heavily on the marking and uploading of files which people seemed to be having problems with. I've been over the thing 100+ times and I can't see what would cause a batch.file to become corrupted or not to mark the correct files. * New color scheme. It matches DLG! (well, almost) Helps to blend into the BBS environment a little better. Like I said, the program works fine on my puny A500 running OS 2.1 ParNetted to a CDTV. I can't test it on accelerated machines or machines running OS 3.x so it is kinda hard to know if something I am doing is not liked by these machines. I'm *not* doing anything special by any means. Changes made for ConDir version 1.8 from 1.6 -------------------------------------------- NOTE: 1.8 differs very little from 1.7. I updated the version number because I actually gave 1.7 to a couple people. Then, I made some small changes. I wasn't going to release anything until I got some massive work done, but since it seems that I've fixed some MAJOR stuff, I'll go ahead and release 1.7. * I *finally* got a 3000. Therefore, I really got down to the basic and searched for Enforcer hits. Guess what. I found some of them that I'm sure would have, could have, and did cause a lot of you a lot of problems. I've cleaned up two major problems (one actually resulting in *two* Enforcer hits). I couldn't find any more of them, but if you do, please tell me where they are at. I've tried all the functions including the archive list found in the registered versions. The only time I get Enforcer hits is when I am using ParNet and the hits are ones caused by it. * Made the key work as either a down directory ( D ) or mark file ( G ) command depending on where the cursor is. Now, all you really need to use this program is the cursor keys and the key. I also made the escape key an alias for the U key. In other words, escape goes up one directory level. One person had requested this change be made. * Updated the documentation a bit. Notice that the user help file has been changed to reflect the key command changes. Also note that you can pick up the latest version of ConDir (as long as you have Mosaic) from http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~ind00626/home.html. This page will tell you the latest revision available and let you actually receive it. I've heard people complaining about the key commands of late. I will be working on this issue further.
