- 7PLUS History:

-
- 930427: Official release of 7PLUS v2.10
-
- v2.11
- -----
- 930504:
-
- utils.c, strip()
-
- Added {}|^ to list of illegal charaters.
-
- extract.c
-
- Filenames are now checked more thoroughly for illegal characters.
-
- 930506:
-
- encode.c
-
- Minor changes due to incompatibilities with compiler on ATARI_ST.
-
- Input of hex values on the command line won't work on the Atari due to a
- bug in the compiler.
-
- Suggested by DL1XAO (Atari only)
- {
- When the '-TB'-Option has been issued without specifying the format
- file's name, 7PLUS first tries to find a format file called 'name.def',
- where 'name' is the unencoded file's name without extension, e.g.:
-
- If encoding 'test.dat', 7PLUS will search for 'test.def'
- (note: 'test.def' MUST reside in the same directory as 'test.dat').
-
- If 'name.def' is found, '-J' is automatically activated.
-
- In case it is not found, 7PLUS will use the default format file
- 'format.def'.
- }
-
- v2.12
- -----
- 940103:
-
- encode.c
-
- When the last part was re-encoded using the '-R' option, the result
- was garbage, because the blocksize for the last part was calculated
- first and then used to fseek to the beginning of the last part.
-
- 940104:
-
- New option added: '-Q'
-
- ALL screen output is redirected to 7PLUS.OUT. '-Y' is automatically
- enabled as well.
-
- New option added: '-G'
-
- Create all files in same dir as input files.
-
- Example:
-
- 7PLUS E:\TEMP\FFR -G
-
- 7PLUS will put FFR.EXE in E:\TEMP\. In case an error occured, the ERR
- file will be put there.
-
- The '-G' option can be used with any action (decode, extract, correct,
- etc.) with the exception of encoding, because the destination dir has
- to be specified (it does not hurt to use '-G' when encoding, though,
- because it is simply ignored then):
-
- 7PLUS E:\UTIL\FFR.EXE E:\TMP\
-
- 7PLUS will encode FFR.EXE and put the resulting files in E:\TEMP\.
-
- Never forget to conclude the destination dir with a '\'!!!
-
- Reason for '-G' option:
-
- Sysops, who use 7PLUS to decode 7PLUS files on their BBS by remote
- operation and can't change the current dir to the one containing
- the 7PLUS files need this option.
- Without the '-G' option it meant a lot of copying around on the BBS
- to get work done.
-
- v2.13
- -----
- 940105:
-
- When extracting files from a savefile, the extracted filenames were
- not displayed (it worked when '-G' was issued). Fixed.
-
- v2.14
- -----
- 940109
-
- '-R' option:
-
- A range of parts to be encoded can now be specified with the
- '-R' option.
-
- Examples:
-
- 7PLUS E:\UTIL\FFR.EXE -R 2-3 <--- re-encode part 2 through 3.
- 7PLUS E:\UTIL\FFR.EXE -R 2- <--- re-encode beginning with part 2.
- 7PLUS E:\UTIL\FFR.EXE -R -3 <--- re-encode up part 3 including.
-
- This was necessary to allow better use of 7PLUS together with TheBox's
- file server EL.
-
-
- v2.15
- -----
- 940308
-
- encode.c:
-
- Had to change this:
-
- after[0] = ((long)(curline & 0x1ff) << 14) | (csequence & 0x3fff);
-
- to this:
-
- after[0] = (long)(curline & 0x1ff) << 14;
- after[0] |= (csequence & 0x3fff);
-
- because some compilers semm to handle the hirarchy of unary operators
- differently (Turbo C++ v3).
-
- Remember: Pobody's nerfect and Murphy never sleeps...
