- I have now released DOS 3.3 Launcher version 1.3.
- I'm sending out a few copies, and it should be available on your
- favourite electronic service within a few weeks.
- It has the following new features:
-
- - Quit via control-reset as well as CDA.
- - Test launch option in copier.
- - Ability to turn keyboard buffering off automatically on launch.
- - Works with more "almost DOS 3.3 compatible" software.
- - Now uses correct ProDOS system file launch facilities (rather than
- the message center), which hopefully means it will work with other
- program launchers.
- - Cleaned up a few minor problems as suggested by users.
-
- I still haven't made the decision to complete version 2.0 which will,
- if completed, have the following features:
-
- - Full read/write version (not just read only like version 1.0 -> 1.3).
- - The launcher will work on a //e or //c (with quit via control-reset),
- with no loss of functionality for the GS user.
- [I'm not ignoring those 2e user's sending mail - all replies bounce].
- - There will be a CDA to allow you to swap which "disks" are in which
- "drives".
