- CXL Revision History
- ------------------------
-
- Version 4.1 - September 4, 1988
-
- 1. Support for Mix Power C has been added.
-
- 2. Complete BIOS video support has been added. This also will replace
- the CGA snow reduction in previous versions.
-
- New:
- _vbios - global variable, 0 = direct video, 1 = use BIOS.
- putchat() - write character/attribute at cursor position.
-
- Modified:
- box_(), fill_(), printc(), and prints()
- - now support both direct and BIOS screen writes.
-
- Deleted:
- _cgasnow - global variable, no longer supported.
- boxd() - now supported by box_().
- filld() - now supported by fill_().
- printcd() - now supported by printc().
- printsd() - now supported by prints().
- waitvret()- no longer supported.
-
- 3. The window hide and unhide functions are now high level (use
- handles, not pointers). This makes the hiding and unhiding of
- windows much easier. The prototypes for whide() and wunhide() have
- been modified. A new global variable, _whrec, was added for hidden
- window management.
-
- 4. The internal mouse support has been enhanced. Mouse movement is
- smoother and there are no longer mouse "boundaries". Mouse button
- presses can no longer be queued.
-
- 5. A new global variable, _dvcheck, has been added. This allows for
- DESQview checking to be turned off during videoinit().
-
- 6. A new format character type, '%', has been added for cvaltype(),
- inputsf(), winpdef(), and winputsf() functions. This type allows
- numbers, '0' thru '9', and space.
-
- 7. The setkbloop() function was not working properly on systems without
- a mouse because of a bug in getxch(). Fixed.
-
- 8. In the sysdate() function, date codes 3 & 4 were returning the same
- result. Fixed. Thanks to Michael Hackman in Washington.
-
- 9. In the systime() function, for the time codes 2 & 3, the AM/PM
- indicator was not being changed from AM to PM until 1:00 PM. Fixed.
- Thanks to John Metzker in Oregon.
-
- 10. Menuing and data entry functions weren't being properly supported on
- single line borderless windows. Fixed. Thanks to Mark Hall in
- Michigan.
