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.
