- A Complete list of bug fixes for Webster version 0.11.
- (Also known as 0.12 if you look at the 'About This Program' window)
- Mon 14th August 1995
-
- As with previous fixes you don't have to apply them,
- but they HIGHLY are recommended as Webster should work with them.
- How to apply them is explained later.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1. The ExternalLaunch message (0x4A265) is ignored.
- I set wrong variable! and also reply with the wrong message.
-
- In :PROClaunch(...)
-
- Change:fi%=q%!28:PTR#fi%=0:newurl$=GET$#fi%
- To :fi%=q%!28:PTR#fi%=0:nexturl$=GET$#fi%
-
- Change:q%!20=(q%!20)AND&7FFFFFFF:q%!16=&4A265:q%!12=q%!8:SYSSM%,17,q%,q%!4
- To :q%!20=(q%!20)AND&7FFFFFFF:q%!16=&4A266:q%!12=q%!8:SYSSM%,17,q%,q%!4
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2. NBMail Doesn't work! fails with 'Not such variable'
- At line line 950, version$ should be Version$
-
- File :In Webster's directory open Fetchers and edit NBMail
- In :PROCsendmail
-
- Change:BPUT#ch%,"X-Mailer: NewsBase (NBMail "+version$+")"
- To :BPUT#ch%,"X-Mailer: NewsBase (NBMail "+Version$+")"
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 3. You can't view JPEG, GIF, XBM or sprite images using Webster.
- For these filetypes the PROCclear call still specifies the window to
- clear.
-
- In :PROCrun(...)
-
- Change:
- >PROCclear(mwi%):A$=FNimage("IMG SRC=file://localhost/"+FNarmtounix(F$)+" >")
- To :
- >PROCclear:A$=FNimage("IMG SRC=file://localhost/"+FNarmtounix(F$)+" >")
-
- NB This change is one line
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 4. Internal error: abort on data transfer at &0004CB04 at line 54000
- The machine code replacement for FNspace() doesn't always work.
- The Quick fix is to replace the whole procedure as follows.
-
- DEFFNspace(A$)
- WHILEASCA$=32:A$=MID$(A$,2):ENDWHILE
- WHILEASCRIGHT$(A$,1)=32:A$=LEFT$(A$,LENA$-1):ENDWHILE
- =A$
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 5. Most fetched files are incorrectly interpreted as a strange filetype.
- This can also cause Lockups. Actually I think all output is
- redirected to the printer!
-
- In :FNgettype(...)
-
- Change:
- >l%=LENFNdirname(U$)
- To :
- >l%=LENU$:WHILEMID$(U$,l%,1)<>"/"ANDl%>0:l%-=1:ENDWHILE:IFl%=0 l%=LENU$
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 6. Can't display any remote images!
- I left a facility partly enabled that you should not use yet.
-
- In :Webster's !Run file
-
- Change:Set Webster$XCacheDir <Obey$Dir>.XCache
- To :UnSet Webster$XCacheDir
-
- Remember to put the X in or Webster will stop working altogether.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 7. YAHOO home page does not display
- Forgot to cope with Widths specified in Percentages.
-
- In :FNtcode(...)
- After :WHEN"TD","TH":
- Change:
- >IFZ%>0 cm%=-VALFNvar(MID$(A$,Z%+5))*2
- To :
- >IFZ%>0 T$=FNvar(MID$(A$,Z%+5)):cm%=-VALT$*2:IFRIGHT$(T$,1)="%" cm%=-((ww%-wrapl%-wrapr%)/100*(cm%/2))
-
- NB The change is one line
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- How to apply these fixes.
- -------------------------
-
- Load the file into !Edit (or any other editor that can cope with
- Tokenised Basic files) This file is Webster's !RunImage file unless
- otherwise stated with each fix.
-
- 1. Search for the Procedure name specified by 'In'
-
- 2. Then Search for the 'After' text (If any).
-
- 3a. Search for the 'Change' text (if any) and hilight it. If line(s)
- are likely to be long the line(s) always start with a >.
-
- Replace the hilighted text with the 'To' text.
-
- OR
-
- 3b. Insert the 'Insert' line as the next line.
-
- 4. Resave the file.
-
- NOTES
- All the 'To', 'After' and 'Change' values do not include the colon
- after the 'To', 'After' and 'Change'. If line(s) are likely to be
- long the line(s) always start with a '>', the first one being on the
- line after the 'Change' or 'To', etc.
-
- If you can't work out what to do, don't worry there will be another
- version of Webster available in a few weeks! (You could use an
- earlier version until then)
