- These are the changes that have been made since the last version of PopDBF.
-
- Version 3.6 - Released February 7, 1990 (first commercial release)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- o Commercial version includes a program, POPCFG.COM, to configure
- the hotkey.
-
- o Path option from Pick File Window has been replaced by Dir option
- which functions like the change directory command in DOS. This
- same option is now used to change drives just as you would in DOS.
-
- o You may enter a specific file, including drive and path, by
- pressing F3 from Pick File Window.
-
- o Added command line option to specify default action, /A. The
- default action is taken for each file when Enter is pressed. It
- can be changed at any time by pressing F5.
-
- o The frequently used database file can optionally specify the
- action to be taken when the appropriate hotkey is pressed (Alt-1
- thru 0). If the file name, in POPDBF.FRQ is preceded by one of
- the following letters, A B E or S AND a space the action taken
- will be the same as pressing Alt and that letter.
-
- o Added a warning when leaving Edit or Append and changes that you
- have made have not been saved.
-
- o Changed all prompts for input to use left and right arrow keys,
- home, end, delete and insert. CTRL-Y will always blank input
- field.
-
- o Changed the pass-thru function so that it can be used even if
- PopDBF is already loaded in memory.
-
- o Fixed a bug which allowed invalid months and days in date fields.
-
- o Fixed a bug which zeroed numeric fields when the RETURN key was
- pressed after editing a preceding date field.
-
- o Fixed a bug caused by insufficient video storage and occurred
- when using help while editing a record.
-
- o Fixed the /D command line, which option did not work correctly when
- no drive was specified.
