- IMPROVEMENTS IN VERSION 3.21
-
- Remove the accelerator key from the 'Search and Delete' selection
- in the pull down menu.
-
- Fixed the following problems:
- - An occasional lock-up when viewing very small files.
- - Each time the main menu system was called it would allocate memory
- but never free it up. This caused DIS to continually grow in
- memory.
- - Under certain conditions when Backing up files, the files would
- be wrote to the root directory.
- - A few other cosmetic abnormalities.
-
-
-

- resident program will step through both configuring
- and basic operation of Dis.

- Retry, Abort to startup drive, or Change to another drive.
-
- - If trying to write to a write protected disk, the options are now

-
- Delete an entire directory branch

- underlying subdirectories.

- graphically displays the status of the copy job.
-

-
-
- IMPROVEMENTS IN VERSION 3.17
-
- Added the ability to initially activate both directory windows.
- - Example: dis c:\temp d:\
- This will load up 'c:\temp' in one window and 'd:\' in the other.
-
- Added ability to choose the sort option from the command
- line prompt. (overriding the default sort option)
- - Example: dis -e
- This will load the directory with the extensions sorted.
-
- Added a whole new file browser.
- - The new browser is able to scroll one line at
- a time, scroll a whole page, and jump to the end or
- beginning of a file (no matter how large).
-
- Added the ability to remove either the left or right
- file window if there are two windows active.
- 'Alt R' and 'Alt L'
-
- Added ability to select user macros from a 'Macro Menu'.
-
- Added a 'Jump to file' function.
-
- Added the following short-cut keys:
-
- PrtSc Mark all files
- Grey + Select extensions for marking
- Grey - Unmark all
-
-
- Drives can now be easily changed by pressing the control
- key, followed by the desired drive letter.
- ( The old 'Alt' method had several problems )
-
-
- Directory Tree File name has changed.
- Previous versions of dis used a different file name to save
- the directory structure. The new tree algorithm arranges the
- data differently from the old files. Dis now creates a file
- named 'DIS_X.TRE' (X = the drive letter). You MUST rescan and
- save all of your directories with the new version.
-
-
- Macro File name has changed
- Version 3.16 used a file named 'DIS_MAC' to store the macro
- information. Version 3.17 incorporates more information into
- the macro file. Therefore the file name was changed to
- 'DIS.MAC'.
