- What is new in release 1.04 ?
- ─────────────────────────────
-
- ■ The KEYLOCKS utility allows the keyboard status lights to be
- controlled in VDM, VMB, and OS/2 full screen sessions.
-
- What is new in release 1.03 ?
- ─────────────────────────────
-
- ■ The archive recognition logic in DUMP has been improved. Archives
- with the "wrong" extension will now be correctly dumped.
-
- ■ DUMP will now recognise QWK and REP files.
-
- ■ A small ANSI file viewer has been added. This is taken from the
- forthcoming MishMugs mail reader.
-
- ■ The LINES utility now copes with switching between dual monitors
- in OS/2 revision 6.498 and later.
-
- What is new in release 1.02 ?
- ─────────────────────────────
-
- ■ To work around a bug in the DosSubSet call of OS/2 2.1 December beta
- (6.479), I have had to re-jig memory management. Previous "fixes" for
- this problem caused problems of their own in the VDM versions.
-
- What is new in release 1.01 ?
- ─────────────────────────────
-
- ■ DUMP has been corrected to display ARC compression methods correctly.
-
- ■ Commands that prompt for input have had a bug corrected whereby
- pressing Ctrl-Break in that session would previously have disabled
- all further keyboard input.
-
- What is new in release 1.00 ?
- ─────────────────────────────
-
- For test purposes, the beta of this package contains an OS/2 AVIO version
- of a ZOO 2.01 file manipulator.
-
- ■ Memory management in VDM for all utilities has been improved. In
- particular, the output of the MEM command is now less fragmented by its
- own allocated data areas!
-
- ■ The output of the DUMP command is now the same for all archive types.
-
- What is new in release 0.93 ?
- ─────────────────────────────
-
- ■ Bugs introduced because of longer filenames on HPFS have been fixed.
-
- ■ The MEM command has been added to the DOS utilities. See the manual for
- details.

-
- ■ The DUMP command has been added. See the manual for details.
-
- ■ The DUMP and FF commands read the central directory record for ZIP
- archives instead of the local file records. This makes ZIP archive
- processing slightly faster, and allows attributes to be displayed.

- ─────────────────────────────
-
- ■ All utilities now support HPFS long filenames under OS/2.
-
- ■ The "Bad Date & Time" bug in FF.EXE has been fixed.
-
- ■ Progress display in FF is now ENABLED when printing to the screen, and
- DISABLED when redirecting to file, instead of vice versa.
-
- ■ The EXE2COM and COM2EXE utilities had a problem whereby the output
- file's name would not be correctly generated if not given on the command
- line. This has now been fixed.
-
- ■ The TOUCH command had trouble at the end of months unless a date stamp
- was provided on the command line with the /D option. This has been
- fixed.
-
- ■ FF has been checked against ZIP files generated by PKZIP version 2.04.
-
- ■ The DOS session version of LINES when changing into 50 line VGA mode
- will now reset "screen preserve" bit in the BIOS data area at 40:87.
- This had been causing problems with other VGA 50 line utilities.
