- ZIF Editor Professional For DOS Revision History
-
-
- 01-20-94 ■ Version 1.19
-
- . Added help topics into the help file for the new 1.19
- features.
-
- . Added support for "Use Command Processor For Executable
- Program" option. This option allows users to specify
- whether or not a command processor is loaded before
- executing a program. Program filenames with a .BAT or
- .BTM (4DOS) extension require that this switch be turned
- on, which is the default. If this switch is turned off,
- users can gain an extra 3 - 5K of free memory.
-
- . Fixed a minor problem where the Update Option check box
- would be enabled when the compressed filename field lost
- focus, even if the compression type selected was "NONE".
-
- . Added support for "Alternate Launch Directory For
- Executable File". This separate parameter allows
- programs to be executed from a directory other than
- the directory where the executable program resides.
- This is useful in cases where the data files are
- maintained in a separate sub-directory than the program,
- since a typical File-Open command will place the user
- in the data files sub-directory instead, allowing more
- rapid access to data files.
-
-
- 01-06-94 ■ Version 1.18
-
- . Added code to write a blank string to the NetworkUsers
- line in the ZIPRPRO.INI file if the user enters 0.
-
- . Added more shortcut key combinations on screens using
- radio buttons and check boxes.
-
- . Fixed minor problem where the prelog delay time on the
- Delays screen was not being disabled on the initial
- display if the "Delay during Prelog" check box was not
- checked.
-
- . Fixed problem where the ZIF Editor Pro would terminate
- if the user pressed the enter key on the "Delay during
- Prelog" check box of the Delays screen when the Delay
- option was disabled.
-
- . Added option to Advanced options screen to enable or
- disable sub-directory deletions when using PKZIP 2.04g.
-
- . Added options on Video options screen to write screens
- using BIOS, DIRECT, or AUTO detect methods.
-
-
- 01-01-94 ■ Version 1.17
-
- . No changes made.
-
-
- 12-27-93 ■ Version 1.16
-
- . Fixed a problem where the "CompressionOptions=" entry
- was being written to the .ZPD file correctly, but did
- not appear to be read correctly. This problem was due
- to a variable being reset once the property for the
- Compression Type list box was assigned. Added a work-
- around in the code that assigns the original value to
- an intermediate variable, restoring it after the property
- for the Compression Type list box is assigned.
-
- . Fixed a potential problem where the CompressionOptions
- variable was not being initialized each time a .ZPD file
- was read or created.
-
-
- 12-25-93 ■ Version 1.15
-
- . Fixed a major bug that was created after references
- to MhSpecParse were changed to stSpecParse. This
- replacement routine returned a "." with the filename
- extension, causing all filenames within the ZIF Editor
- Pro to have two dots separating the filename from the
- extension.
-
-
- 12-22-93 ■ Version 1.14
-
- . Changed all references from MhSpecParse to stSpecParse,
- which is an STSI-generated routine to parse the
- different portions of a path specification apart. Old
- routine that was used could cause ZIF Pro to attempt to
- access a floppy drive, if one was specified. If a disk
- was not present in the floppy drive, the program would
- crash. New routine should eliminate this problem.
-
- . Added code to make sure that if compression to floppy
- diskettes is being used, the compressed file must be
- stored on the root directory of the floppy disk.
-
- . Added code to disable selective extraction and selective
- exclusion when the user specifies that the compressed
- file will be stored on a floppy diskette.
-
-
-
- 12-20-93 ■ Version 1.13
-
- . (No Changes Made)
-
-
-
- 12-05-93 ■ Version 1.12
-
- . Added code to make sure that the environment set for
- ZIP'R Pro, if used, is interpretted in UPPER CASE
- characters.
-
- . Recovered programming files from local backup set.
- One file was lost due to an inability to restore
- files from a bad backup tape after upgrading network
- file server. Changes in the lost file were minimal.
- All data is believed to have been recovered.
-
- . Added check to deselect and disable the Update option
- if compressed file was specified as residing on a
- floppy disk.
-
- . Addressed several potential tab-order / ENTER-order
- problems on main .ZPD editing screen. Problems
- could have caused program to terminate if the ZIF
- Editor attempted to switch the focus to a disabled
- control when ENTER was pressed.
-
- . Added code to make sure that a user has entered a
- program name and a compressed file name in the
- appropriate fields before saving a .ZPD file.
-
- . Added code to warn users when Cancel is selected if
- the file has been modified since it was last saved.
-
- . Added code to set an initial value for TestTemporary-
- Archive whether or not ARJ is being used as the
- compression program.
-
- . Fixed tabbing order problem on Selective Extraction
- screen and added code to advance the cursor to the next
- field when ENTER was pressed.
-
- . Fixed problem where pressing ENTER on the Compression
- Type field when "NONE" was selected would cause the
- program to terminate. Focus was attempting to be set
- to a disabled control.
-
- . Fixed problem where passing a filename as a parameter
- to the ZIF Editor Pro would generate an error stating
- that a problem occurred when attempting to read the
- .ZPD file. This was due to a variable being reset
- between the time that the parameter was read and the
- file was read.
-
- . Fixed potential problem where the internal variable
- "UseParentDirectory" was not being changed when it was
- modified on the Advanced Options screen. This could
- cause the ZIF Editor to not properly remember the
- correct Program Parent Directory.
-
-
-
- 11-26-93 ■ Version 1.11
-
- . Added quick keys for check boxes to a few key areas.
-
- . Fixed minor tabbing order problem on Edit .ZPD
- screen.
-
- . Added support to the Selective Extraction screen
- for Selective Exclusion. Added code to read and
- write the new variables to the .ZPD file.
-
-
-
- 11-21-93 ■ Version 1.10
-
- . Added code to allow users to enter a filename
- after ZIFPRO that will automatically load the
- specified .ZPD file.
-
- . Added new Help topics for Selective Extraction.
-
- . Added support for Selective Extraction to the ZIF
- Editor. When Selective Extraction is enabled, only
- files entered in the Selective Extraction list box
- are extracted before executing the program.
-
- . Corrected a problem where the IN Commands, OUT Commands,
- TSR Pre Commands, and TSR Post Commands were not being
- written correctly to the .ZPD file. This behavior
- exhibited itself after creating a file with more than
- two lines of IN, OUT, TSR Pre, or TSR Post Commands.
- The prefix was not being added to the line that was
- written, therefore causing ZIP'R Pro to be unable to
- read and include those commands.
-
-
-
- 11-15-93 ■ Version 1.00
-
- . Initial release of the ZIF Editor Professional For DOS.
