- This file documents the changes in VernSix.Lib starting with version 3.00
-
-
- v8.04 - Thu 01-02-1992 18:23:04
-
- - Fixed a slight bug in VERNDEMO.PRG that caused VS_Browse() to bomb.
- The error was in VERNDEMO.PRG not in VS_Browse(). What can I say?
- It's a demo program! <Grin> Thanks to Kent Kingery for pointing
- this one out.
-
- - Fixed a slight typo in the Norton Guides with reference to the structure
- of SECURITY.DBF
-
-
- v8.03 - Tue 12-03-1991 10:02:08
-
- - Fixed a really stupid error in VS_DbfList(). I had a loop that
- said something like... DO WHILE _DICTHDR->(EOF()). I forgot the .NOT.
-
- - I seemed to have omitted ValType()="C" in VS_Cvt2Str(). What a goof!!
- It's been fixed now.
-
- - Well Blow Me Down! Just when I thought I knew everything there was
- to know about Clipper... ALLTRIM() put me in my place. There was
- a slight bug in VS_Cvt2Str() because of where I called ALLTRIM().
- I didn't realize that ALLTRIM() stripped CHR(13) and CHR(10) from the
- end of a string. I thought it only stripped spaces! It's fixed now.
-
- - Thanks go to Leopold Lindsay for pointing out a slight bug in the
- operations window if the user pressed the left or right keys.
-
-
- v8.02 - Thu 11-14-1991 12:38:12
-
- - Added the following functions...
-
- VS_PrintNtx(), VS_NtxDict(), VS_SnapShot(), VS_SnapFile(),
- VS_SetPath(), VS_OpenDict(), VS_DictVar(), VS_DateTime(),
- VS_GetDate(), VS_GetTime(), VS_ElapDays(), VS_ElapHours(),
- VS_ElapMins(), VS_ElapSecs(), VS_AddDays(), VS_AddHours(),
- VS_AddMins(), VS_AddSecs(), VS_HelpDbf(), VS_CloseDict(),
- VS_SemaPhore(), VS_SemaMins()
-
- - Added more UDCs to VERNSIX.CH
-
- - Changed the following functions to all call VS_OpenDict() instead
- of opening it manually everywhere...
-
- VS_NtxAll(), VS_DbfList(), VS_NtxList(), VS_PackAll(), VS_Filt(),
- VS_MakeDbf(), VS_DictStru(), VS_CanMake()
-
- - Changed/fixed VS_Encrypt() and VS_Decrypt(). WARNING!! It's different
- and will not decrypt previous versions!!!
-
- - Changed VS_Filt() to accept an optional array of databases to use.
- Default is still the current database.
-
- - Fixed VS_DictStru() so it will properly reset the work area.
- Boy Scouts Matto... "Leave the camp ground as you found it!"
-
- - Fixed problem with similiarly named DBFs, in VS_DictStru(), becoming
- "meshed" together.
-
- - Fixed slight little bug in VS_Correct() that caused a "dual" wait-state
-
- - Fixed bug in VS_Cvt2Str() so it will convert a string to string.
- This makes it useful for such things passing it an unknown datatype.
-
- - GREATLY IMPROVED VS_Menu() by removing the TBROWSE() and going back
- to ACHOICE().
-
- - Added the ability for application to use a different filename instead
- of HELP.DBF. Added extra parameter to VS_InitHelp()
-
- - Fixed slight bug in VS_Browse() thanks to Jerry Eckler for pointing
- it out.
-
- - Changed/Fixed VS_SetOrder() so it would accept a character
- representation of a number ie. VS_SetOrder("1") is now the same as
- dbSetOrder(1).
-
- - Added the ability to specify a path for the databases in the dictionary
- globally instead of just per file. Added new function VS_SetPath().
-
- - Fixed problem in VS_OpenDbf() that caused an index to sometimes be
- re-created even if it existed already.
-
- - Fixed VS_OpenLst() so that it would reselect the work area we were
- in when we called it.
-
- - Fixed a slight boo-boo in VS_OpenAll() in that it didn't protect
- us from an empty DBF_NAME field in _DICTHDR
-
- - I changed the VS_USE() function to include the addition of two new
- parameters... pl_Shared, pl_NewArea. I also changed it to be much
- more 5.0'ized
-
- - Added a check in VS_USE() for a missing file!
-
- - Fixed VS_OpenDbf() so it would not re-open a database twice
-
-
- v8.01 - Sat 10-26-1991 23:06:34
-
- - Added VS_Cvt2Str(), VS_Title(), VS_FootNote(), VS_Initials() and
- VS_UserName()
-
- - Changed VS_Browse(), VS_Login(), VS_Text(), VS_MntPwd(),
- VS_InitPrtr() and VS_ShowNtx(). See source code for details.
-
- - Changed structure of SECURITY.DBF
-
- - Changed Norton Guides database to reflect new and changed items.
-
- - Fixed error in FUNC2DOC.PRG
-
- - Add/changed several items in MAINT.EXE (removed reference to DICT.PRG)
-
- - Re-Wrote ERRORSYS.PRG so you will not need LOWLEVEL.CH
-
- - Wrote a VERNSIX.CH file.
-
- - Updated VERNDEMO.PRG
-
-
-
- v8.00 - Sun 10-13-1991 02:18:54
-
- Finally... a Clipper v5.0x specific version of the tool box!!
-
- A lot of stuff has changed. Functions have been renamed to be
- "uniform", etc. Study the NG file and VERNDEMO.PRG. Don't make any
- assumptions about backward compatibility. If a function in this version
- is compatible with the older Clipper Summer 87 version, it is purely
- luck. I have written this version to be extremely specific to Clipper
- v5.0x and above. As a result... it's fast!!
