- HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT OF PMOD
-
- Note that the versions below are the ONLY versions EVER created of this
- program. Any others are suspect to being hacks or worse, Trojan horses.
- The versions are listed from most current to least.
-
- I wrote this program to aid me in printing out the many program
- assignments and their outputs, or whatever, that are involved with Computer
- Systems Engineering here at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
- (Whoopie!) I distribute this program to help out whoever can make use of it
- out there in the Internet, so enjoy! :)

- VERSION 2.3a:
-
- * Added a nice requester that will pop up when pmod cannot find a given
- filename or printer code option, allowing the user to skip that argument
- to continue to the next, retry the argument after editing what was typed,
- or abort the entire printing session.
-
- * Improved command-line validity checking with more informative error
- messages.
-
- * This is a beta test version, subject to corrections upon response.
-
-
- VERSION 2.2:
-
- * Dramatically corrected the printer codes for many options. There was a
- problem with turning off NLQ due to trying to print a NULL with printf()
- as well as some other oversights.
-
- * Added the printer code option -n so that condensed printing could be
- canceled.
-
- * Added the -p printer code option to allow the user to use the Pica
- character style.
-
- * Fixed some spelling errors (oops).
-
- * Added some intelligence to file access errors, allowing the user the
- option of continuing the print session or cancel using a prompt from the
- shell or CLI.
-
- * Decreased the input and the output buffer sizes (who needs 20K?).
-
- * Improved readability and alteration of version information in source code
- (ooo, ahhh).
-
-
- VERSION 2.1:
-
- * Implemented input and output buffering.
-
- * Added -q and -d printer code options for using NLQ and draft modes.
-
-
- VERSION 2.0:
-
- * Text files can now be printed in addition to sending printer codes,
- skipping over files it cannot find and continue on printing. I might make
- this more inteligent later?
-
- * Pmod now requires a dash in front of printer code options to distinguish
- them from filnames of text files to print.
-
-
- VERSION 1.1:
-
- * This is the first released version of pmod.
