- BASWIZ 1.4, 10/10/90:
-
- NOTE: The Hercules Graphics routines will be gone in the next version of
- BASWIZ! Improved Herc graphics will be included in my GRAFWIZ library.
-
- The DEMO.EXE file is no longer included, to keep the archive size down.
- Use CREATE.BAT to create it from the DEMO.BAS and BASWIZ.LIB files.
-
- A bug in TERM.BAS was fixed. The problem, an inconsistency in the
- StartXmodemSend calling sequence, was also fixed in the docs. The
- displays in TERM.BAS have been cleaned up.
-
- The virtual windowing system refused to display a cursor on some MDA and
- CGA systems, evidently since they don't maintain a certain status value.
- The fix unfortunately requires hard-wiring of the necessary value if an
- MDA or CGA is detected. It may produce a strange cursor on those CGAs
- which have a special hi-res text mode (except for Compaqs, which I made
- allowances for). If this happens to you, please notify me.
-
- The virtual windowing system can now automatically convert your colors so
- that they will show up properly on a monochrome display. It also supports
- flicker suppression for those CGAs on which this is a problem.
-
- A routine that handles IBM ANSI codes using virtual windows has been
- added. Processing of "ANSI" music is optional.
-
- Memory management and pointers are now supported.
-
- The numeric expression evaluator now supports parentheses for overriding
- the default (algebraic) order of evaluation.
-
- A stub file has been added to allow use of Crescent's PDQ library.
-
-
-
- BASWIZ 1.3, 08/13/90:
-
- The far string handler now supports use of expanded memory (EMS) as well
- as conventional system memory.
-
-
-
- BASWIZ 1.2, 07/08/90:
-
- A bug in WDelChr was fixed.
-
- An input routine was added to the virtual windowing system.
-
- The telecommunications routines were expanded to include the Xmodem file
- transfer protocol. This includes automatic support for all current
- variants on the protocol: checksum and CRC error detection, 128-byte and
- 1024-byte packets. Only uploading ("send file") is currently supported.
-
-
-
- BASWIZ 1.1, 05/26/90:
-
- The virtual windowing system was expanded to include user-defined frame
- types. A bug which prevented use of MDA and Hercules displays was fixed.
-
- A bug in the telecomm routines which prevented use of other than COM1 was
- fixed.
-
- A comprehensive collection of file handling routines was added.
-
-
-
- BASWIZ 1.0, 04/15/90:
-
- This was the initial release of The BASIC Wizard's Library, featuring
- virtual windows, Hercules graphics, far strings, telecommunications
- support and a numeric expression evaluator.
