- !UUcoder History
- ================
-
- Version 0.01
- ------------
-
- Original test version, did encoding and decoding via outside
- applications, requiring heavy use of scrap files.
-
-
- Version 1.00
- ------------
-
- First proper release.
-
- - Now has inbuilt encode and decode ability, making it faster and
- reducing use of scrap files, also allowed internal control of errors
- due to bad files.
- - Added file type conversion for .tif plus put in .txt and .uue, both
- of which I have seen as uuencode files, mad but people do it.
-
-
- Version 1.01
- ------------
-
- - Fixed bug which meant that "/" was not being converted to "." for PC
- files, overlooked in installation of encode and decode ability in vers
- 1.00.
-
-
- Version 1.02
- ------------
-
- - Fixed bug which in some circumstances allowed the user to drag a file
- back onto the application when saving.
-
-
- Version 1.03
- ------------
-
- - Replaced internal lookup table of filetypes to sprite names with
- proper conversion routine.
- - Added RISC OS filetype after the 'end' line, except when the file
- being coded has a PC file extension.
- - Checks for a RISC OS filetype line after the 'end' line. If there is
- one it will type the decoded file accordingly. This is inhibited if
- there is a PC file extension in the coded file.
- - Added .gz and .tar to the PC file extension lookup table.
-
-
- Version 1.04
- ------------
-
- - Added support for Interactive Help.
- - Recoded loading from another application for efficiency and
- compactness. Should be transparent in use.
- - Separated sprites into two files so that local sprites will not clog
- up the wimp shared pool.
- - Added .arj, .bmp, .doc, .pcx and .wav to the PC file lookup table.
- - Now deletes its work files from the scrap directory if it is unable
- to decode the file.
- - !Help file rewritten to make it clearer.
- - Added proper check that Wimp$ScrapDir exists when loading.
- - Changed code so that clicking on the !UUcoder icon will always bring
- the main window to the top of the stack, even if already open.
-
-
- Version 1.04a
- -------------
-
- - Corrected the coding for bringing the window to the top of the stack.
-
-
- Version 1.05
- ------------
-
- - Tidied the window templates to look better on the Risc PC.
- - Added Mode 22 sprite files.
- - Added .pc1, .pc2, .pc3, .pi1, .pi2, .pi3, .img, .iff, lzh, lha, .mod,
- .med, .mmd, .csv, .dxf to the PC file lookup table.
- - Modified PC file lookup table so that .tar point to RISC OS filetype
- &C46.
- - Now allows 62-character lines to be decoded as well (previously only
- 61 characters).
- - Tightened up the code which looks for the start of uuencoded follow
- on parts.
-
- Version 1.10
- ------------
-
- - Added ability to double click decoded files to load them into an
- appropriate apllication.
- - Added ability to split files after uuencoding them.
- - Moved all error and interactive help messages to a Messages file.
- - Added interactive help to the menu.
- - Changed conditions for identifying end of a part to decode so that
- "--" is not used.
-
- Version 1.10a
- -------------
-
- - corrected silly bug which stopped multiparts being created.
-
- Version 1.11
- ------------
-
- - Added more returns to the wimp during processing to allow better
- integration with other applications and update display more quickly.
- - Removed file deletion at the end of double clicking so that
- applications such as !Spark which don't take possession of the file can
- still act on it.
- - Added check message if there is unsafe data when the desktop is
- closing.
- - Made sure all scrap files are deleted when desktop closes.
- - Move file extension to filetype mapping to an external file rather
- than being 'hard wired'.
- - Added new option in Choices dialogue box to retain the file extension
- of decoded files.
-
- Version 1.12
- ------------
-
- - Now checks the machines DOSMap settings ands them to the translation
- table. (Thanks to Michael Barnes for the idea).
- - Greatly expanded Mapping file (Thanks to Vincent Lefevre) some extra
- sprites added, but no longer a complete collection.
-
- Version 1.12a
- -------------
-
- - Correctly responds if no DOSMap settings exist.
- - Combines and decodes messages downloaded on a PC where lines end with
- <CR><LF>.
