Update History of WIZ
---------------------
1.6 1/28/91
Initial public release
1.7 2/13/91
Bug fixes
1.8 3/8/91
Changed "-g" operation. Quit as soon as we hit the correct
one. Sound an alarm bell when we set disk/directory.
1.81 (not released)
* Fix for huge disks. I tested with 100+ MB disk, but failed
to test with a nearly full disk. Result=BUG!! -- (overflow in
intermediate calculation, converting cluster to sector
number.) Thanks, Eddie, for running DOS 4.01 with one huge
>32MB partition--which all the gurus recommend against!
1.9 4-23-92
* Fixed bug in handling full root directory.
* Changes in walking the directory tree. Made it
non-recursive; changed the way I collect pathname to print.
* Added -c switch.
* Fix bug in handling a sub-directory that is exactly and
evenly full, with no next cluster.
1.91
* Slightly faster
* Added -a switch
2.00 6/4/91
* Slightly smaller and faster.
* Creeping featurism!!
* Added -l switch, to look inside archives
* Decided that the ability to look inside achives should
signify a new major version, so it's now 2.0
2.1 6/23/91
* Mod for stacker container files.
* Speeded up some filename checks (2 times in some cases)
2.2 7/4/91
* Better disk-name processing. Added WIZ environment
variable.
* Fixed bug introduced in 1.9 on pattern matching of
directory-names, with dot in pattern & no extent.
* Reset counts at the start of each path.
2.3 9/29/91
* Fixed matching of directory names (a very subtle bug!!)
* Added -z flag (for other programs to call WIZ).
* Changed -g0 to query at each matching file.
* Changed date format. Included seconds in the time.
* Added checking for the "other" floppy disk, if there is only
one configured on the computer.
2.4 1/9/92
* Changed order of size/date/time to be in the same as DIR.
* Re-fixed bug in directory matching. It was even more subtle
than I thought.
* Removed seconds from the time.
* Added -b switch, to allow it to look at normal files, and
inside archives, on the same pass thru the disk(s). This
was the single most requested modification.
* Added ability to recursively look in archives.
* If no pattern specified, but only switches, assume "*".
* Some more speed-up optimization; some minor bugs fixed,
including another one with HUGE disks.
* Added -m switch.
* Check for CTRL-BREAK flag (not CTRL-C!!), to bail out
quickly.
2.5 2/26/92
* Seems I made a "running release" of v2.4, (bad, bad me!)
This gets things back in sync.
* Allow missing default disk set in WIZ environment, and allow
"/foo" switches for RCD & WIZ.
2.6 3/18/92
* Added check & error msg on disk error.
2.7 4/22/93
* Added "today's date" options to the -d switch.
* Made it work for Novell & Lantastic networked drives.
* -n switch, to bypass networked drives.
* Added ability to limit the printout by directory-name.
* Added -e option.
* Added support for DOS 6.0 "DBLSPACE"
2.7a 7/19/93
* Fixed bug with -q switch.
* Quit (no error message) on un-assigned DBLSPACE disk.
2.8 12/16/93
* Fixed bug-an output character was NULL instead of a space.
* "-pp" will not print the header/trailer, for piping the
output to other programs.
* Another bug fix with "-q".
* Added DUBLDISK check.
* Check for directory validity.
* Removed "-z" flags; redirecting output and "-pp" makes more sense.
* Fixed a bug with huge directories, which popped up with DBLSPACE.
* Message for "-ll" recursion on compressed archive.
2.8a 1/25/94
* Fixed bug in -q when -ll is also given.
2.9 4/21/94
* Added character ranges ([....]) in the filename pattern.
* Allow space between drive(s) and pattern.
* Fixed bug in scanning LHA & ARJ archives.
* Turn off SMARTDRV (read: DUMBDRV) during scan. SMARTDRV actually
takes longer!!
* Added "-4" option, to search 4DOS file descriptions.
2.9a 8/8/94
* Added DRVSPACE support (DOS 6.22 version of DBLSPACE)
* Fix bug with trailing dot.
3.1 10/3/94
* Fixed `-q\foo' scan to skip directory trees that don't match
in the first part.
* Added FDUP
3.2 2/1/95
* Fixed bug in disk I/O, & removed accidental recursion
* Added -i option to FDUP
3.2a 2/25/95
* Fixed bug in fdup, if a file had 0xFF or 0xFE as the 1st char.
3.3 5/15/95
* Fixed bug, now it works with Windows 95
3.4 7/20/95
* Fixed to properly work with lowercase filenames in a ZIP file.
(Info-ZIP does this.)
* Bound go32 stub with FDUP32, so you don't need go32.exe.
