/S when in root directory fixed
Drive name added to path display
V1.58 08/11/1990 If the number of directories was exactly the
same as the number of lines in the directory
window and a mouse was being used then ActaeOn
failed with runtime error 200. This has been
fixed.
V1.59 10/11/1990 If a file was Moved from one directory to another
and the file already existed in the destination
directory and 'Y' was replied to Overwrite? then
ActaeOn failed with runtime error 005. This has been
fixed.
If it was attempted to copy a file to itself
(Destination directory same as Source directory) and
'Y' was replied to Overwrite? then ActaeOn would
truncate the file to 0 bytes. Copying a file to
itself is now disallowed.
If a both buttons (or centre button) on the mouse
was pressed to tag a directory when the mouse cursor
was below the last directory then memory would become
corrupted requiring a reboot. ActaeOn now tags the
last directory.
V1.60 12/11/1990 Mouse clicking on Rename directory after the 'N'
resulted in New Directory.
Clicking on the C of CTRL with the mouse did not
select Control mode
Versions not listed in the above release history are beta test
versions and are not for general distribution.
KNOWN ERRORS
If you have a Logitech mouse with a version of the driver less then
version 4 then the mouse cursor disappears after line 25 if in 43/50
line mode. You need to upgrade your mouse driver to fix this.
ActaeOn does not currently distinguish between 8088, 8086 and V30
processors.
It should be noted that any non-trivial software product will contain
bugs. If you find any then let me know and I'll do my best to fix them.
UPGRADE NOTES
Users upgrading from versions of ActaeOn prior to 1.52 should delete
their ACTAEON.CFG and ACTAEON.CDF files before running the program.
MANUAL ADDITIONS
A command line switch has been added so that ActaeOn reads only
the current sub-directory and its subordinates. To invoke this
option simply type
ACTAEON /S
You may rename ACTAEON to something shorter (ie ACT) as long as you
also rename the help file (.HLP), the overlay file (.OVR), the
Configuration file (.CFG), and the Command Definition File (.CDF).
The latter two are created after selecting options in the Configuration
menu. So for example to have ACT as the program name you should
REN ACTAEON.EXE ACT.EXE
REN ACTAEON.HLP ACT.HLP
REN ACATEON.OVR ACT.OVR
REN ACTAEON.CFG ACT.CFG (if applicable)
REN ACTAEON.CDF ACT.CDF (if applicable)
