┌───────┬────────────────────────────┐
│ 3.01 │ Major Release │
└───────┴────────────────────────────┘
┌─────┐
│ CDC │
└─────┘
■ Replaced CDU.CTL into CDU.INI. See CDUTO301.DOC for details about
the changed names of the various options and a way to convert your
CDx.CTL to CDU.INI in a jiffy;
■ Changed the behavior of the pick-list. The databases will now be
displayed in alphabetical order;
┌─────┐
│ CDE │
└─────┘
■ CDE is new for this release;
┌─────┐
│ CDF │
└─────┘
■ Fixed various bugs in the memory support and selection;
■ Fixed a documentation-bug on the CDF help-screen for the /ARC
command-line parameter;
■ Corrected the trapping of an empty database. When you selected a
newly created 0-length CATDISK <tm> database, the screen (and the
program) would go wild;
■ Replaced CDU.CTL into CDU.INI. See CDUTO301.DOC for details about
the changed names of the various options and a way to convert your
CDx.CTL to CDU.INI in a jiffy;
■ Changed the behavior of the pick-list. The databases will now be
displayed in alphabetical order;
■ Added a DOS-shell to CDF. You can press <S> to go into a windowed
DOS-shell;
■ Added a <N>ew option so you can change the file-selection and (if
you did not include a specific database on the command-line) the
name of the database to view at;
■ Added the option to disallow the usage of XMS or EMS with the
UseEMS and/or UseXMS option (default set to TRUE);
┌─────┐
│ CDM │
└─────┘
■ Fixed some bugs that occurred when running CDM with an alternate
directory (not being the current directory). Deletion of files
(duplicates) would not occur, also sometimes a file would be
ignored;
■ Replaced CDU.CTL into CDU.INI. See CDUTO301.DOC for details about
the changed names of the various options and a way to convert your
CDx.CTL to CDU.INI in a jiffy;
■ Changed the behavior of the pick-list. The databases will now be
displayed in alphabetical order;
■ Added file-comments. CDM will now look for FILES.BBS, DESCRIPT.ION
or a ????????.I?? DISP-compatible comment-file that came from
FileDoor <tm> (and duplicated by many others). If the file is
present in one or more of these files, the comment for that file
(if present) will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If
there is NO comment, NO display of comments will occur !
■ On general request, I have included the file-extension in the CDM
displays. For version-control and duplicate checks, CDM will NOT
look at the extension !
■ Added help on all keyboard-input. If you press 'H' (on any of the
questions inside CDM, not the picklist), you will get some extra
help about the choices you can make;
■ Added a DOS-shell (press <S> at any keyboard-input except the
pick-list). The DOS-shell is a swapped (full memory) and windowed
shell. If you screw-up the display (f.i. when you 'LIST' a file or
other programs that write directly to the screen), CDM will restore
it on EXIT;
■ Expanded the old CDM fill-algorithm. While this is still under
development, the current algorithm should work much better than the
previous ones in earlier versions. A tradeoff is, that you now have
to answer all unusual questions first (version control,
duplicates), before CDM asks to add (or not add) the file to the
set of diskettes. With this algorithm, the filling of the diskettes
will be from start to finish and will not be as random as before.
This is causes mainly because CDM will now first calculate the
space that will be released by deleted files or newer versions,
before the new files are added;
■ Added a new option EXCLUDEFORPROCESSING in CDU.INI. This option can
be used to exclude one or more files (mask) from processing by CDM.
A question for these files will never be asked and the files will
always stay in the directory;
■ Added a new option TRIGGERCDTONFILE in CDU.INI. This option can be
used to mask one or more files that will cause CDT to be called
from within CDF. These files MUST be excluded with the previous
options, because they would otherwise be gone before CDT would
trigger. Some examples are FILES.BBS, DESCRIPT.ION and the *.I??
FileDoor <tm> compatible comment-files. For EVERY match, CDT is
called. CDT will add the comments to the database(s) provided that
you included options for CDT that can be used with the triggered
files;
■ Added a new option CDTPROGRAMPATH in CDU.INI. If you use the
TRIGGERCDTONFILE option, this option can be used to point to the
name and location of CDT.EXE if it can not be found in the
search-path;
■ Added the option to disallow the usage of XMS or EMS with the
UseEMS and/or UseXMS option (default set to TRUE). These options
will be taken into account when swapping the programfrom memory;
■ Added the option to supply a file-mask, so CDM will only catalog
the file(s) (also move) that match this wildcard. You can combine
the filemask with a directory;
■ Added a routine that will remove any entry from FILES.BBS in the
directory that contained the original file, providing FILES.BBS it
not moved to diskette as well. CDM will update FILES.BBS AFTER any
call to CDT, so there is still the option to copy the comment from
the original FILES.BBS to the CATDISK <tm> database;
┌─────┐
│ CDR │
└─────┘
■ Fixed a problem in the file-selection. If a file (without its
extension) would be less than 8 characters, it would sometimes not
match the supplied wildcard;
■ Fixed a problem where CDR would also include in-archive files for
the selection;
■ Replaced CDU.CTL into CDU.INI. See CDUTO301.DOC for details about
the changed names of the various options and a way to convert your
CDx.CTL to CDU.INI in a jiffy;
■ Changed the behavior of the pick-list. The databases will now be
displayed in alphabetical order;
■ Added help on all keyboard-input. If you press 'H' (on any of the
questions inside CDM, not the picklist), you will get some extra
help about the choices you can make;
■ Added a DOS-shell (press <S> at any keyboard-input except the
pick-list). The DOS-shell is a swapped (full memory) and windowed
shell. If you screw-up the display (f.i. when you 'LIST' a file or
other programs that write directly to the screen), CDM will restore
it on EXIT;
■ Added the display of the file-comment (when available inside the
current CATDISK <tm> database. If no comment is set, no comment is
displayed at the bottom of the screen;
■ Added the option to disallow the usage of XMS or EMS with the
UseEMS and/or UseXMS option (default set to TRUE). These options
will be taken into account when swapping the programfrom memory;

■ Replaced CDU.CTL into CDU.INI. See CDUTO301.DOC for details about

CDx.CTL to CDU.INI in a jiffy;
■ Added special code for DESCRIPT.ION files. If they are present and
you have supplied entries for them in CDU.INI, CDT will convert the
file to a temporary file that can (and will) be imported by
CATDISK. This temporary file will start on position 1 (over a
length of 12 bytes) for the filename and position 14 for comments;
■ Added the option to disallow the usage of XMS or EMS with the
UseEMS and/or UseXMS option (default set to TRUE). These options
will be taken into account when swapping the programfrom memory;
