- New Features:
- -------------
- * Support for PKZIP 2.x
-
- * Pressing TAB from the COPY/MOVE or DOS CALL windows will
- guess at filenames for you. For example, if you want to
- copy to \WINDOWS, type in
-
- \W
-
- and press TAB. Pressing TAB again will display the next match.
-
- * SD detects if you change windows and a new floppy disk was
- inserted and asks you if you would like to reread the disk.
-
- * The USR code 4008 has been added. This allows you to specify
- what filespec is deleted from the entire drive. It work as
- follows:
-
- USR: DelPass;4008;*.TMP
-
- This would delete all .TMP files from the current drive.
-
- * Nearly every key is now programmable. The ALT keys used for
- the PullDown menus are not programmable, but most every other
- key is. See the SD.PRO file for examples.
-
- * In the Tree, pressing SHIFT UPARROW or SHIFT DOWNARROW, will
- go up or down to the directory that is at that level. For
- example, if you are in the \123 directory, which has MACROS
- as a subdirectory, pressing SHIFT DOWNARROW will skip the
- subdirectories of \123, and locate itself on the next
- subdirectory of the root directory.
-
- * File Finder - pressing ENTER will change to the directory
- where the highlighted file is located.
-
- * Left Handed Mouse capability has been added to the Mouse
- Setup Window.
-
- * You can now configure if StupenDOS will write itself to
- memory before running external programs. You can also specify
- what type of memory to use (XMS, EMS, UMA, or even disk).
-
- * Running an external DOS command will use the colors present
- when StupenDOS was first run.
-
- * SD can be configured to locate the file cursor on the directory
- you exited when pressing ENTER on "..". For example, if you are
- in the \UTIL\SD directory, and you change to the \UTIL directory,
- SD will automatically highlight the SD directory. This option
- can also be disabled.
-
- * When opening a second file Window, SD can be configured to open
- the second window in the highlighted directory. If this option
- is disabled, the default directory will be displayed in the
- second window.
-
- * The TREE display can be displayed in sorted order.
-
- * You can now sort the files in the filelist by file tags.
-
- * The PKZIP and PKUNZIP screens now display ZIP File Comments.
-
- * Added a "Select All Drives" option in the File Finder and
- Reread Tree screens.
-
- * Added a "Bytes Used" indicator in the TREE. Rather than
- showing the % occupied, you can display the bytes used.
- Press '%' to toggle. If you then save the setup, this will
- become permanent.
-
- * Pressing '=' in the tree screen will show detailed information
- about the highlighted directory and its subdirectories. Very
- useful for big hard disks.
-
- * Added an option for DesqView users that makes StupenDOS DV aware.
-
- * Mouse clicking is now configurable! You can select single or
- double clicks from the SETUP | MOUSE OPTIONS screen.
-
- * Added USR options for sorting, and for copying and moving to
- the other window.
-
- * Made the PKZIP screen quicker to use.
-
- * Added a COMPARE FILE option. Allows you to compare by many
- different methods (TIME/DATE, SIZE, CONTENTS, Etc).
-
- * You can now tag multiple files by dragging the mouse over the
- desired files.
-
- * You can now scroll the filelist by dragging the scroll marker.
-
- * Added %t to the list of things you can pass to an external
- program. This passes a list of the tagged files. If you
- wanted to pass two names to the program AWESOME.EXE, you could
- add the following to SD.PRO.
-
- USR: AWESOME;;AWESOME %t
-
- %T uses tagged files from the other window if it is open.
-
- * Enabled more mouse handling in the FileFinder. A double click
- will exit the File Finder and change directory to the directory
- where that file is located.
-
- * If you start SD in 50 line mode, running a DOS call would put
- the video in 25 line mode. This has been fixed. SD will now
- put the video in the same mode it was in before SD was started.
-
- * Added OTHER and BOTH to the "Reread after ZIP/UNZIP" option in
- the setup.
-
- * Added LOCATEFILEDIR 11546 to the accepted SD.PRO values. This
- works like LOCATE, but will also search for directories. To
- make ALT '/' invoke this, use
-
- k:309;11546;
-
- Bug Fixes, enhancements:
- ------------------------
- - Reading the SD.TRE file sometimes omitted directory entries
- - Fixed Problem logging onto unformatted disks
- - Does not pass -e to PKUNZIP (2.x compatible)
- - Use of commas in large numbers
- - If a temporary drive is specified in the setup, this will be
- - used by PKZIP.
- - The looping command in SD.PRO now works.
- - Edit All Tagged and Type All Tagged now work.
- - The %l in SD.PRO no longer passes a '@' by default.
- - You can reread the tree from the COPY | Select From Tree window.
- - Changing directories in the TREE with the mouse did not update the
- directory information.
- - Some enhanced CGA video boards would make SD think it was an EGA
- board. This would make SD think that highlighted background
- colors were legal. To force SD to think your video card is CGA,
- start SD with the /EGA-option. To reverse this, start SD with
- the /EGA+ option. Make sure you save the setup after using this
- option. You will not have to specify it again if you save the
- setup.
- - Eliminated the delete screen when in NOVICE mode.
- - Fixed the problems with rereading the tree.
- - Prune and graft did not always update the tree display properly.
- - The Mouse speed is now reset after running external programs.
- - The right button of the mouse will now abort a File Find.
- - STAMP TIME did not work on network drives where write access
- is denied. A error message is now displayed.
- - Using a single digit date or time in the Stamp Time/Date window
- didn't work properly.
- - Added '1' to use in the USR file to signify a blank line
- USR:;1;
- - Made the mouse locate where it was before running an external
- program.
- - After a format, the volume label was not displayed properly.
