-
- This file contains information concerning DOCZ 1.6 that didn't make it
- into the User Manual.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- UNIX platform only:
-
- Library and module names may contain punctuation. The MSDOS platform
- still restricts the use of punctuation in library and module names,
- since the names may be used in file specifications.
-
- DOC ver. 33296
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- All platforms:
-
- A new parameter has been added to the DOCZ Documentation Header that
- allows the catagorization of modules by logical "levels." This can
- be especially useful in subroutine libraries designed in logical
- layers, and when specific layers are appropriate for application
- development. The .LAYER parameter is a singly-specified optional
- parameter that may have a single decimal digit between 0 and 9
- following the parameter. The DOC program will take the following
- options to make use of the new parameter:
-
- DOC <library name> [/l=n1,n2,n3...] [z_opt]
- -> entire library
-
- DOC <library name> <module> [module]...[module] [/l=n1,n2,n3...] [z_opt]
- -> module(s) docs
-
- DOC <library name> </m[=date]> [/s] [/l=n1,n2,n3...] [z_opt]
- -> modified since
-
- DOC <library name> </r[=date]> [/s] [/l=n1,n2,n3...] [z_opt]
- -> revised since
-
- DOC <library name> </i[=date]> [/s] [/l=n1,n2,n3...] [z_opt]
- -> introduced since
-
- DOC <library name> </f[=date]> [/s] [/l=n1,n2,n3...] [z_opt]
- -> fixed since
-
- All DOC options which produce module documentation can be modified
- with the /l option (case is ignored: /l is the same as /L), where
-
- /l=n1,n2,n3...
-
- is the option specifier and 'n1', 'n2', and so forth are one or more
- "levels" to document. If no level is specified (i.e. the /l option
- is not specified) then all levels will be documented. The output
- documentation will include the module level, if included in the
- Documentation Header.
-
- DOC ver. 33325
-
- The /s option has been added to produce a summary for each of the
- individual DOC reports: Modifed, Revised, Introduced and Fixed. The
- /s on the command line with the fix, introduction, revision, and/or
- modification notice options produces a summary of the modules in the
- notice with output going to a file with the name:
-
- <library_name>.MOD modification notice
- <library_name>.REV revision notice
- <library_name>.FIX fix notice
- <library_name>.INT introduction notice
-
- DOC ver. 33213

-
- VMS platform:
-
- All VMS development and support has been dropped completely. Refunds
- are available for any licensed and current version of VMS DOCZ.
- Discounts are available for migration to the UNIX or MSDOS platforms
- of DOCZ. We apologize to VMS advocates, but offering a VMS platform
- of DOCZ proved to be entirely cost-ineffective, and Digital Equipment
- Corp. is not interested in cooperative VMS product support of DOCZ.

- The telephone area code in which Software Toolz is located will
- change from 404 to 706 on 3 May 1992. Our FAX machine is connected
- to a call director that will automatically route your incoming faxes
- if your fax machine issues CNG tones. If your fax machine does not
- issue CNG tones, dial 11 repititively after hearing the first
- ring-back. Toll-free voice-mail (US & CAN) will be discontinued on 1
- April 1992.

-
- All platforms:
-
- The CALCDATE utility now includes an option to calculate the version
- number used in Software Toolz programs (including all DOCZ programs).
- CALCDATE also supports the variable date format (see the DOCZ User
- Manual) with the date format specified on the command line. If the
- /f option is not specified, the system-wide default date format is
- used.
-
- CALCDATE [date] [/o=output file] [+/- days] [/v] [/f=<date format>]
-
- The new /v option specifies that the date should be output as a value
- (Julian date) instead of a date string. The version number displayed
- by Software Toolz programs may then be compared to an actual date.
-
- CALCDATE ver. 33584
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- All platforms:
-
- The DOCXL /o option has been modified to allow all libraries to be
- referenced with one call to DOCXL. Previously, DOCXL required
- a library name when using the /o option, and only one library at
- at time could be used.
-
- DOCXL ver. 33699
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- All platforms:
-
- The DOCXL /o option has been modified to allow the introduction
- date to be displayed with the I option. This was an omission
- in earlier versions.
-
- DOCXL ver. 33733
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- MSDOS platform:
-
- For those who wish to run the DOCZ programs under MS-Windows,
- PIFs are now included. If you elect to install the PIFs in
- the Installation Program, also specify the Windows drive and
- directory into which they will be installed.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The use of an absolute path in the Documentation Index File
- will defeat the substition of any path rules specified with
- a 'U' record in the Configuration File. This is not explicitely
- explained in the DOCZ User Manual.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Any licensed DOCZ users who wish to receive notice of software
- updates via e-mail, and have accounts on either Internet or
- Compuserve, can register their e-mail addresses with Software Toolz.
- (No "junk mail" will be sent.) We are also considering the
- possibility of offering a bulletin board for users. If you are in
- favor of this idea, please let us know.
