Enhanced Flag (EFLAG) History
Version 2.21 *** Now requires you to be using PCBoard v15.21 or higher ***
BIG CHANGE! "EFLAG.CFG" is no longer necessary, even though you may still
use it if you wish. The new method is to pass the options as command
line parameters. This greatly speeds things up during startup. See
INSTALL.BAT for an example. See EFLAG.DOC for more details about
this. Alternatively, you can refer to "_EFLAG.CFG" which also de-
scribes this if you like using the config file.
Changed -
Renamed "YESNO.CFG" to "YESNOCFG" for language awareness.
Renamed "PROMPT1.CFG" to "PR1CFG" for language awareness.
Renamed "PROMPT2.CFG" to "PR2CFG" for language awareness.
Fixed - If "YESNO.CFG" is present and user highlights "NSTOP" and hits
enter (instead of hitting the hotkey) and then says "No" to the
"Are you sure?" question, it would reprint the previous prompt
twice(!).
Added - Ability to use spacebar to tag multiple files for downloading.
This feature allows you to tag a bunch of files and then flag them
all at once for download. This is much more convenient than the old
method where you had to highlight and then flag each file in turn.
Needless to say, you must have "Use space bar as in the old flag
method" set to "off" in EFLAG.CFG (line #4). With this new feature,
a line #6 has been added to EFLAG.CFG. Please refer there for an
example.
Fixed - Strange how no one ever told me this <big shrug>, but if you
change the value for number of spaces in PROMPT1.CFG and PROMPT2.CFG
to something other than zero, it doesn't print the highlighted text
correctly.
Verison 2.2
Added - On prompt #1, if user selects nonstop display, EFLAG will now pop
up with a question asking if they are sure. This will cure people
who accidentally select nonstop and can't figure out how to abort the
humongous file listing. To enable this feature, make sure "YESNO.CFG"
is in the same directory as eflag. If this is not present, this
feature is automatically disabled.
Added - Delay time in the config file (line 5 in EFLAG.CFG). This will
put an optional delay between keyboard polls for input, and should
decrease some of the load put on the CPU/system (most noticeably
under OS/2). Actually, this feature was added in v2.1, but I just
forgot to mention it. (doh)
Fixed - If a file was highlighted, hitting "!" for PPE info would have
the PPE info line partially coloured with the lightbar highlight
colour. Minor detail. :)
Version 2.11 - Released 02-27-95
Fixed/Changed - Removed the behaviour of having the screen restored
if the meta-command "view" was used in the first prompt (so we're
back to the previous way). This caused one screen to "jump" by
if the user, after hitting "V" to view file, decided to hit
enter without entering anything. Oh well, that's the trade-off.
Version 2.1 - Released 02-19-95
Added - Seamless support with BlackCat's FileView PPE v2.0! The docs
to his File Viewer PPE says to use the EFLAG.PPE that comes with his
package. You may still do so if you wish, but this version of EFLAG
works just as well. (Take your pick.)
Fixed - Before when a command at a prompt was set to execute another
PPE or display a file, upon returning, the highlighted filenames
would appear one row *below* the actual filename printed on the
screen.
Fixed - If the "view" meta-command was used (as in the default case
were PCBVIEW.BAT would be called), the screen would not get restored
upon returning.
Fixed - Hitting the question mark to show the help screen will no longer
screw up the output text.
Version 2.0 - Released 12-10-95
Changed - Completely rewritten in PPL 3.0 for PCBoard 15.2 only. Some
features/changes/fixes from Version 1.1 do not even apply any more.
However, information from 1.1 is still left in this history file to
retain miscellaneous information that acknowledges the fact that I
was aware of some "bugs." :)
Changed - Reorganized the whole thing; now there are three fairly small
config files instead of one large one.
Waxed - CONFIG.EXE. Most people just never used it anyway.
Fixed - If using PWAFV to view a file, the file listing will not go into
nonstop mode after exiting PWAFV.
Waxed - DETAILS.DOC. I received no feedback about this from anyone, so
tough noogie.
Added - More seamless integration with BlackCat's Nuker.
Version 1.1 - never released
Added - Full support for SCuM-NuKeR. See EFNUKE.PPS for details.
Installation is very simple and straight forward.
Fixed - Line 1 in EFLAG.CFG has a very long prompt. This was also
accidentally left in. It turns out that this prompt was a
concatenation of the prompt I wanted in Line 1 along with the
prompt in Line 2. This should not have caused too much of a
problem since most people change the look/colors of the prompt
in the first place.
Fixed - In EFLAG.CFG, the description for the correct line 3 was
accidentally left out (so that line 3 actually described line 4).
This was actually generated from CONFIG.C.
Changed - Now when highlighting the filename, the highlighted bar will
highlight all the way through the file's uploaded date (column 31).
This makes the highlight much more noticeable. This idea was taken
from a modified FLAG that Vigilante has been using on his board
Apparently, he was working on a different FLAG.PPE as well. :)
Fixed/Changed - In DETAILS.DOC, it originally stated that the array
allfiles(*) would be redimensioned to a size of 23 if the user's
page length was set to zero. This is obviously incorrect since if
the user has a continous display, they cannot individually flag files
anyway. It now says the PPE will exit.
Fixed - INSTALL.BAT was installing "FLAG.PPE" into PCBTEXT instead of
"EFLAG.PPE". This was not too surprising as I simply modified the
old INSTALL.BAT from FLAG.PPE.
Added - Started adding HISTORY.DOC to keep track of changes/fixes.
Version 1.0 - Initial Release. Finished 8-4-94. Released 8-20-94.
