- DvpEdit change history:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
- --- 20 Oct 91: 1.0 released
-
- Bugs fixed since 0.9Beta2:
- -With Close on exit set to blank, DvpEdit caused programs
- specified without a .com or .exe extension in a DVP
- file to close their windows on exit.
- -If invalid dynamically-dependent data was detected when
- Control-ENTER was attempted in the main edit screen,
- any fresh data that might have been in the current
- field was being discarded.
- -A blank Script buf field was not being disallowed until
- Control-ENTER was attempted.
-
- Features added since 0.9Beta2:
- -Added more crossreferences to the help text.
- -Added more clarifications to the manual and help text.
- -Added better email-to-the-authors information to the manual.
- -Added Emacs-style kill-line (Control-K) and undo (C-_)
- keystrokes in all dialogues (Control-U and Control-R
- still work too).
- -Changed Control-Y kill-to-end-of-screen to Alt-Backspace:
- since it appeared to be less useful than it was
- hazardous, especially for users of WordStar-like
- editors, it was moved to a key combination less likely
- to be hit by accident or with an expectation of
- something other than kill-to-end-of-screen happening.
- -Added a ``Quit'' mouse button to the help window.
-
-
- --- 8 Oct 91: 0.9Beta2 released
-
- Bugs fixed since 0.9Beta:
- -Incorrect handling of Script buffer size: the value was
- offset by 66 bytes.
- -The Program field was not permitted to be blank.
- -ED-PIF.DVP and EP-PIF.DVP incorrectly had 1 in their
- Max keypolls fields (not necessary, since DvpEdit
- internally gives up the CPU when waiting for keyboard
- input). This reduced DvpEdit's responsiveness, without
- saving significant CPU time.
- -ED-PIF.DVP and EP-PIF.DVP incorrectly had too small a
- value in their Min mem fields, disabling the help system.
- -Workaround (-m switch) installed for mouse problems
- encountered by non-i386 users using 30-, 50-, or 60-
- line mode on VGA.
- -The -o menu was not allowing single keystrokes to select
- items with single-character selection keys.
- -Some field validation routines were corrupting field data
- slightly.
- -An error in the handling of DVP files specified on the
- command line sometimes led to attempts to open files
- using names like FOO.DVP.DVP.
- -searches of the PATH for DESQVIEW.DVO were not working.
- -Date stamps of DVP backup files were being set to the current
- time even if the original file was not changed.
- -There were several small inaccuracies and unclear passages
- in the documentation and online help.
-
- Features added since 0.9Beta:
- -Full update support for DESQVIEW.DVO, DESQview's Open
- Window menu. The Open Window menu will now (after user
- confirmation) be updated to reflect changes to the DVP
- files in the DESQview system directory, including the
- addition of new DVP files.
- -MD-PIF.DVP added.
- -Switch (-h) to control location of help file.
- -Switch (-m) to provide alternate mouse handling mode.
- -Fully configurable colours added via DVPE-CFG.EXE and
- DVPEDIT.CFG.
- -Documentation updated and improved.
