RE: SW 4.3 Changes...
Screen definitions can contain "nested" labels. If you find yourself re-using
the same background in the same batch file, you could take advantage of this
feature to save a bit of work. By using multiple labels within the screen def,
you can read all or part of the def without having to duplicate it elswhere in
the file. The labels that are inside are ignored by SW when read.
Long strings are now truncated to 70 characters. Although 70 characters is
still the limit on a line, SW will now just shorten it without displaying an
error message,
Awareness & support for EGA 43 & VGA 50 Lines. Just in case 25 lines isn't e-
nough, SW can now use up to 50 lines on a VGA monitor. SW will detect and use
these modes as well as being able to set them. Also, the maximum amount of
text lines is increased to 38 in the 43 line mode and 45 in the 50 line mode.
Integrated file viewer shows text in window. The program SWV.EXE will be sent
to anyone registering SW 4.3. It contains the basic features of a viewer which
SW can call after defining a popup window for it to use. The window can be
zoomed to full screen and restore the original screen when finished. This
program is perfect for displaying large amounts of information without resort-
ing to lengthy screen definitions.
DI.EXE 1.3 enhances /EXIST and /FIND so they can use 2 variables to return
the location of a file. The first variable contains the drive letter and the
second will contain the path.
DI 1.3 also includes 2 new switches. /GET_VOL returns volume label in an
environment variable. The variable name default is the drive letter. /SIZE
returns floppy disk size as an EL. This is the formatted size of the disk and
does not reflect available space.
