----------------------------------------------------------------------
This document describes all the latest updates to fastmenu GOLD that
may not be included in the manual.
Version 4.1
Files Dated 09-12-91
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1> In the PhoneBook module, a bug was fixed that caused problems on
some systems of after entering around twenty-five records in
sequence a string space corrupt error would occur.
2> The PhoneBook module, now allows editing or creating an unlimited
number of different databases. This new option is accessed through
the (F)iles icon from the phonebook main menu.
Files Dated 09-10-91
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1> An option has been added to the directory tree list screen that
allows sending a copy of your directory tree structure to a printer
connected to printer port LPT1.
2> The number of directories that can be listed at any one time has
been increased from 300 to 400.
Files Dated 09-01-91
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1> In the DOS/Disk Utility module, there is a new option on the first
menu screen, G>- Include Attributes With Files (Yes-No).
This option allows you to specify whether or not you want the file
attributes listed at the files list menu. If you select not to
have the attributes listed, the files will list to screen much
faster due to not needing to read the attributes in on every file.
2> An new option has been added to fastmenu GOLD that allows entering
more than one command at the Run File field when adding applications
to the menu.
3> During screen blanking fastmenu GOLD now first looks for a script
file named PCX.DAT. If this file exists, fastmenu will display
the PCX files acording to the way you have them listed in this
script file. You may also include a time parameter with each PCX
file that tells fastmenu how long to display each PCX file.
Version 4.0

BUG FIX's 1> Entering more than 6 digits in the calculater on some
systems caused a negative number to come up, this has
been fixed.
2> At the page level, from the main applications menu,
if a number higher than 21 was entered, fastmenu GOLD
aborted and droped to DOS, this has been fixed.
Files Dated 08-21-91

the files at the Run File field, the files are now color coded.
