- Version 1.0:
- Never released.
- Version 1.1:
- Never released.
- Version 1.2:
- First ``public'' release to the Usenet community.
- Version 1.3:
- Fixed one major (and stupid) bug: I had a JMP instruction in the
- XMS_Setup routine that caused the function to always think there was an
- XMS driver loaded. Thanks to all those who pointed that one out...
- Also, thanks to DTF, one FAR directive was missing from the xlslib.h
- header file.
- Version 1.4:
- Fixed a few more typos and a bug or two. All memory models are now
- supported, even tiny and huge. An object file, produced by Turbo
- Assembler 2.5 using the large model, is included in this release
- as well for those who may not have tasm.
- Version 1.5:
- Fixed a few more minor errors, and moved the pointer to the HMA into
- the users code rather than the xmslib code. Some internal veriable
- names changed as well; this should not affect user code.
- Version 1.6:
- A few more typos, and one documentation error only. Hopefully this
- will get rid of the errors; I plan on adding better documentation and
- more functionality. Never released.
- Version 1.7:
- Noticed one last (!) typo after checking in the code, so this version
- will be the one released to the rest of the world.
- Uploaded to Simtel20 as xmslb17i, Usenet at xmslb17u, and a few BBS
- systems as xmslb17b. All are the same, only the last letter has changed
- to indicate how the code was received.
