- XURL version changes/bug fixes.
-
- v2.31 04/01/97
- New:
- .Support for ftp:// and mailto: URLs.
-
- .Ability to view the .html file in a browser (ie. CAB) immediately
- after extraction. VASTART is used if the browser is already running
- else it is launched via shel_write.
- Full path to the browser must be specified in an environment variable
- "BROWSER=" (see documentation).
- Generic term of 'browser' is used, along with VA Start instead
- of CAB protocol. Hopefully it will be compatible with both CAB and
- Webspace.
-
- .<HR> Horizontal Rule written to separate 'new' extractions from
- existing ones. So you can see at a glance which are the new ones just
- extracted. Thanks to Roy Goring for this suggestion :)
-
- .Status bar now shows a realtime count of how many urls
- extracted/ignored during processing.
-
- .XURL now accepts a full pathname via a command line and uses it as a
- default 'source' path. ie. dragging a file from the desktop onto the
- xurl icon results in that file being defaulted into xurls 'source'
- field ready for extraction.
-
- .New 'About' dialogue which allows 'copying' of my email address/url
- to the clipboard, ready for pasting into a relevant program.
- Double clicking on the email address/url will launch it into a
- email program/browser (see documentation).
- This is going to be standard in all my programs from now on.
- It's a bit gimmicky but hey, so what!
-
- Bugfix(s):
- .Bomb fixed if no filename or wildcards specified
- (File selector code rewritten).
-
- .Fixed the problem where a url is sometimes extracted with an extra <
- at the beginning and therefore doesn't show as a link. (Hopefully)!
-
- .extracted urls are no longer centred when displayed using CAB 2.0 or
- Internet Explorer3. Header HTML changed in XURLHOME. To activate this
- bug fix it will be necessary to delete/replace your existing .html
- result file, so that XURL recreates it for you!

-
- v2.30 23/11/96 BETA - DO NOT USE
-
- This was a rather rougth beta, that should not be publicly available.
-
- v2.20 09/09/96
-
- Iconification under Magic4
-
- Extracts HTTP:// and www.(ie without the http:// prefix)
- Thus both HTTP://www.fred/ and www.gary/ will be extracted and
- prefixed with with the correct 'http://'
-
- v2.10 31/08/96
-
- Multiple files can be checked for urls by using wildcards in the
- source filename ie. E:\fred\*.* or E:\fred\*.txt. Thus a whole
- directory can be processed.
-
- Multiple occurences of a url in the source file are now only extracted
- once.
-
- The .html file is created if it doesn't exist (even when no urls have
- been found).
-
-
- v2.00 15/08/96
- New:
- A URL is only extracted if it does not already exist in the .html.
-
- Number of URL's successfully extracted is now shown at end of
- processing in the status bar.
-
- Multiple URL's on one text line are now included. ie.
- http://www. http://www. http://www.
- will result in 3 extractions whereas before only the first one
- would have been extracted.
-
- v1.00 30/07/96
- Initial release of XURL.
