----------history-- this is not the complete history, consult the guide !----
Changes made since 3.42:
Removed a bug in public screen support and another in the
font loader. Added path truncation and "Jump to Next Screen"
menu item.
Changes made since 3.41:
Much smoother scrollers if enough CPU power available.
Tiny bugs fixed, partially left over from 3.40.
****************************************************************************
ANNOUNCEMENT:
If you selected the "Disable full screen Edit" setting on the
system page of SetVNC as setting for ViNCEd, you will have noticed
that the RETURN key does not operate like expected in the SHELL.
THIS IS NOT A BUG!
This edit mode is for programs that wants to read masks from the
input, UNLIKE THE SHELL. DO NOT TURN IT ON FOR THE SHELL!
If you like to glue the cursor to the edit position and don't want
it moving 'round the screen if marking blocks or scrolling, turn on
the XTerm Cursor Mode in the edit pages of SetVNC!
If you prefer single TAB requesters, turn on both the "Requester if
expansion is not unique" and the "First TAB expands fully" flag
in the Shell pages of SetVNC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another note:
VirusWorkShop seems to have trouble with the overlay file structure
that is used by the SetVNC program.
THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! It is a bugfix of the oldish CBM overlay
manager which is really buggy!
VirusWorkShop will be updated soon. (I hope)
To trick VirusWorkshop, the SetVNC program in this archive is
encoded. Use the "Decode" program from the "Extras" drawer to
decode manually. The installer script has been updated to do
this for you.
Thanks Urban, for reporting!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some virus checkers might complain about the set PktWait() pointer
of the VNCFiler.supervisor. Again:
THIS IS NOT A VIRUS!
Anti-Beol has been updated to handle this case, please
update your copy as well!
