Bullet History
--------------
04-Feb-94 (MG)
Issued 1.08.
Bug in PackRecordsXB where, if all records in an internal buffer were marked
as deleted, the file would be truncated at start of buffer's position. This
caused a -3 error (UNEXPECTED EOF since the DBF file is both read and written
to by Bullet). Always do a BackupFileXB to an archive drive before packing
your DBFs.
Sync'ed the BASIC and DOS C versions and other minor updates.
--------------
22-Dec-93 (HV)
Issued 1.07c (shareware) and 1.07d (registered)
Correction to BC_LAI10.C in v1.07b.
The testrec.codename is declared as char[10]. But just before level 1200:
strcpy(testrec.codenam, "xxxSAMExxx");
This little string adds up to a total length of 10. Strcpy ADDS a '\0' to the
string so the total length becomes 11! Bad move!
Also the line at level 1312: (long) *keybuffer = 5L; is not tolerated
by Borland C++ 3.1. It should read: *((long *)keybuffer) = 5L;
---------------
20-Oct-93 (chh)
Issued 1.07b.
Addendum to 1.07a (the 01-Oct-93 version).
Was released without addendum notice. Re-released as 1.07b (BLTC17B.ZIP).
Also, Borland patch is now plug-n-play with inclusion of TLIB tool.
---------------
01-Oct-93 (chh)
Addendum to 1.07.
While I may have fixed the bugs in BC_LAI10.C (see below), I didn't seem
to have updated the archive with it. The fixed BC_LAI10.C is included in
the current archive, and is available separately. Still, no bets it's 100%.
Also, current versions of TLIB (those after 3.00) are not working as
expected when using the Borland patch. Either use MS LIB or download
TLIB300.ZIP from the Main Board.
--------------
31-Aug-93 (ES)
Issued 1.07 (currently a DOS C-only release).
Bugs in the C version of Bullet when the Borland patch was applied were killing
nearly everyone concerned with Bullet, Borland, and the large memory model.
Fixed a few bad bugs in the BC_LAI10.C example (pretty obvious as they were).
BULLET.H file updated a bit with some new stuff by ES.
Added _max vars to MEMXB/MEMCXB.ASM to limit amount of memory allocated, if
so desired (limits in place in MEMCXB for Borland patch, no limit otherwise).
--------------
04-Aug-93 (MG)
Issued 1.06.
Fixed PackRecordsXB bug where, if the number of records in the DBF were
greater than 1 internal buffer's worth, but less than 2 buffer's worth,
the routine would typically error out with a -2, UNEXPECTED EOF.
Altered UNEXPECTED EOF error code from -2 to -3. DISK FULL remains -2.
--------------
31-Jul-93 (DR)
Internal 1.05.
Fixed UpdateXB CPU fault error when running BULLET in protected-mode. Fault
occured only in protected-mode and has no impact on DOS programs, whatsoever.
Also fixed ExitXB bug when ExitXB called BreakXB at shutdown (typically not
a problem).
--------------
27-Jul-93 (MG)
Issued 1.04.
Bug with PackRecordsXB where, if from the last record in the internal buffer
backward, there are no records that are un-deleted (i.e., all records past
"any" point in the internal buffer are all deleted), then that buffers' worth
of records are not written to disk. This situation would cause data loss. Fixed.
Fixed typographical/syntax errors in BLTNETWK.TXT (originally added 14-Jul-93).
For users with BULLET 1.03, get file BPAT104.ZIP (24K). For users with previous
versions, get either CBULLET.ZIP or QBULLET.ZIP. See the BULLET conference
files' listing for additional information.
---------------
22-July-93 (DS)
Issued 1.03a.
Fixed documentation error in Borland C compiler patch that was causing patch to
be ignored. Updated all distribution packages. Also, BLT13BOR.ZIP, containing
updated patch documentation as well as an already-patched large model BULLET
library, is available in the BULLET conference download area. BLT13BOR.ZIP
is also included in the BULLET registered-version packages.
----------------
14-July-93 (chh)
No version change; new timestamp of: 14-Jul-93 1:03a
Supplemental Network Information added to all distribution packages. Details
network routines available in BULLET and their operatation. Also available as
BLTNETWK.ZIP (4K) from Main Board Files and BULLET conference download area.
--------------
22-Apr-93 (MG)
Issued 1.03.
Bug with ReindexXB when followed up with InsertXB with a non-unique
index file causing sporadic 201 error. Fixed.
CZ.HLP updated with new BBS support number and other minor changes.
Shareware versions BLTQ13.ZIP and BLTC13.ZIP released.
--------------
24-Aug-92 (WS)
Issued 1.02.
Bug with CreateKeyXB (parsing the key expression) that would occur if making
an EXE file from the environment. Would probably also occur if linking to
other libraries if those libraries where place before BULLET.LIB on LINK's
Libraries: prompt. Caused by using OFFSET DGROUP:kfKeyExpression--the DGROUP
specifier was not intended since kfKeyExpression is used to compute the offset
relative a dynamically allocated segment base, not DGROUPs base. Since LINK
was making adjustments for DGROUP (some of it already having been used by
those libraries appearing before) the key expression offset was not where it
should have been (if BULLET.LIB was not first the first library specified)--
--the parser was parsing thin air, resulting in error 240. Fixed.
CZ.COM changes: CZ.COM consolidated with CZXT.COM. CZ now bumps InDOS flag on
popup for MT environments. Keypad-plus key functions as keypad-enter. Keypad-5
moves cursor to center of screen. The mouse is software reset at popup.
Shareware release of C version of BULLET 1.02 (BLTC12.ZIP). BASIC version named
BLTQ12.ZIP (formerly BULETQ10.ZIP). Only difference is the CZ.HLP file and the
sample programs (or lack of in the case of BLTC12). Second shareware release
for BLTQ12. First for BLTC12. (Archive extensions may vary.)
---------------
21-Aug-92 (chh)
Issued 1.01b.
Added single-record locking to LockDataXB (and unlocking, of course). Requires
that AP.RecNo be set to record number to lock. To lock the entire data file set
AP.RecNo=0. Better still, use LockXB when locking more than a single record.
See LockDataXB in CZ for more. For most purposes the LockXB full-region locks
is the best way to go. Added BB_RKL10.BAS showing single-record locks in action.
Made some changes to CZ.HLP. Also added HLP2TXT.EXE to strip off the index data
at the front of CZ.HLP. Makes it easier to import into WPs or even print
directly. Creates CZ.TX!. About 5800 lines with 20 or so blank lines at the end
(filler lines).
-----------------
28-July-92. (chh)
Issued 1.01a.
In ReadKHXB the cache buffer needed to be invalidated since the cache buffer
is invalid once control is released/made available to another process.
Added !README2 text file explaining value (status=) returned from
transaction-based routines.
----------------
24-July-92. (BJ)
Issued 1.01
In PackRecordsXB, if the last physical record is the only record to be
deleted, it won't. Fixed.
In ReindexXB, the index cache buffer was not invalidated after reindex which
means that a subsequent request may be satisfied from the invalid cache
(causing spurious 224 errors from no longer existing data records). Fixed.
CZ.HLP BULLET error 223 should be 224 (223 is the one reserved). Fixed.
-------------
23-July-92 ()
Added CZXT.COM for PCs and early XTs. Popup text does not appear on the early
machines. Fixed.
----------------
22-July-92. (CH)
In OpenKXB, an invalid xbHandle link will return a negative 222 (-222). Fixed.
CZ.HLP lists OpenPack.xbHandle as OpenPack.XBlink. xbHandle will be used.
----------
16-June-92.
Issued 1.00.
