- If you were a user of prior versions of Torquemada, your main concern
- is likely to be: What has changed?
-
- Mainly this:
-
-
- ADDED WITH TORQUEMADA 1.2.X:
-
- The user inteface has been overhauled in a major way. See the section
- headed "User interface notes..." in the Torquemanual.
-
- Five of the untyped wildcards have gone away to make space for five
- new wildthings. If you have sets that use ^5 through ^9, you will
- need to revise them. The new wildthings are described under the
- headings "TYPED WILDCARDS", "THE DO-IT-YOURSELF WILDCARD", and "THE
- WILDSTRING MODIFIER".
-
- And: The case conversion commands have been made smarter.
-
-
- ADDED WITH TORQUEMADA 1.3.X:
-
- Torquemada the Inquisitor 1.3.X exists to serve two goals. Primarily,
- it brings Torquemada the Inquisitor into conformity with the changes
- introduced in Torquemada's Ghost. Those two pieces of software use the
- same source code for their action routines, so many changes consisted
- of revising the user interface to accomodate changes in the core
- logic. And secondarily, there are some user interface enhancements and
- bug fixes that don't relate specifically to Torquemada's Ghost. The
- changes are these:
-
- 1. Fixed a bug that prevented {option-h}/{option-k} from aliasing
- properly.
-
- 2. In the Pyre of Purification, Shift-Tab now moves you back one
- field, much as Tab moves you forward.
-
- 3. When opening a set the cursor will be in the first field.
-
- 4. A set file can contain an infinite number of stings.
-
- 5. The Pyre of Purification will still only edit files consisting of
- 20 search and replace strings. If you attempt to edit a set containing
- more than 20 pairs of strings, you will get an ALRT inviting you to
- Cancel! or Truncate the set.
-
- 6. Tab(s) can be used as the delimiter between strings. Open the set
- file called "A Legal Set File" from a text editor or word processor to
- see how this looks in real life. Torquemada continues to Save sets
- using CR as the delimiter. Be careful Pasting into WP docs; TQM
- filters tabs and returns before he saves, but you'll need to do this
- manually after you Paste.
-
- 7. Torquemada now allows up to 256 files per batch. The maximum number
- of set files remains 32, but since search strings can now come in
- infinite quantities, it doesn't seem like a problem.
-
- 8. The Movado Museum Watch cursor is now somewhat better behaved.
-
- 9. You can now abort a batch of files with Command-Period. This will
- only happen between files, not between sets or between searches.
-
-
- TORQUEMADA'S GHOST
-
- New with version 1.3.X is a piece of software called Torquemada's
- Ghost. The Ghost is a scriptable Torquemada. While it can be used
- interactively by Drag & Drop, its primary purpose is to allow
- AppleEvent scripters to access Torquemada from their AppleScript or
- Frontier scripts. Frontier scripter Eugene Barnes has lent us his
- expertise by writing Frontier glue scripts for Torquemada's Ghost.
- These scripts and their documentation can be found in the folder
- "Torquemada’s Ghost Glue ƒ". The functions of Torquemada's Ghost are
- described in the Torquemanual under the heading "TORQUEMADA'S GHOST".
-
-
- The full Torquemanual is stored in the "Torquemada Explained" folder.
