Release History
═══════════════
v1.00 December 26, 1992
o Initial Release
v1.10 January 15, 1993
o Fixed not enough memory for Stack. I was using Turbo Power's TPSTACK unit
to determine how much stack was required. I entered every possible
routine to ensure the number was accurate. It said ~2500, I compiled
with 3000 bytes, and it would hang some machines with a stack overflow
error. Stack is now 8000 bytes. Stack overflow checking is enabled now.
If the Stack is still not big enough, Catch will abort to DOS with a run
time error, not hang your machine.
o The Creative Labs Sound Blaster driver used (CT-VOICE.DRV) was from
my original Sound Blaster v1. Using Sound Blaster v2 driver now, hopefully
this will help Sound Blaster compatible sound cards.
v1.20 Feburary 28, 1993
o Compiled using new Borland Pascal v7 which just arrived.
o Fixed Joystick Calibration problem on analog joysticks. I use a digital
PC GamePad from Gravis and never noticed it.
o Stopped dive if you press the button without a direction
o Uncompressed Sound Blaster samples, previously they were compressed using
the ADPCM chip on the Sound Blaster. I'm not sure if this will help
Sound Blaster compatibles or not. Uncompressed samples increase RESource
file from 265K to 330K. PKZIP compresses RESource file to 95K.
... and many small things.
v1.3 March 1, 1993
o Catch is too big to fit on a 360K floppy uncompressed, so I've
compressed the RESource file with my own compression routine from 330K
to 155K. Almost real time decompression should make it completely
transparent. PKZIP now compresses RESource file to 100K! Not much
difference ZIP'ed, but a HUGE difference uncompressed.
o Compression will probably add some more bugs though...
v1.4 April 1, 1993
o Registration Delay cut from 20 seconds down to 10, almost transparent.
o New Joystick Calibration routine
o Error Handler should safely bring you back to DOS if you get a runtime
error.
