- Statline Version 2.0 July 1991
- **************************************************************************
-
- Additions (since version 1.5)
-
-
- 1. Statline remembers where it was moved to and saves its position.
-
- 2. A new background bitmap was added, the original can still be used
- for Statline (see the "Configure" box in Statline).
-
- 3. Quick Run is improved, the drives and directories are in a seperate
- box from the files. A "delete file" button was added.
-
- 4. A "License Information" scheme now identifies registered users.
- Non-registered versions have a pop-up reminder every eight uses.
-
- 5. Statline does a "Global Compact" (to reclaim unused memory) every
- 60 seconds.
-
- 6. Thanks to some reworked routines and better compilation techniques,
- this version's EXE file is only slightly larger than the previous one.
-
- 7. Statline can now install itself to load when Windows starts.
-
- 8. You can specify the initial directory for Quick Run in the
- "Configure" box.
-
- 9. You can optionally display the memory used with a bar-graph, see
- the "Configure" box.
-
- 10. An "Arrange Icons" button was added to the system box to neatly
- arrange your desktop's icons.
-
- 11. Statline can now keep itself visible even when covered by other
- windows (see the "Configure" box).
-
- 12. You can select and edit a file from Quick Run. The editor to use
- is specified in the "Configure" box ("Notepad.exe" is the default).
-
-
- Additions: (since version 1.0)
-
-
- 1. Quick Menu is also available from the Quick Run box. Up to five
- programs can be listed and ready to run with a single click.
-
- 2. The Quick Run box now has a "Delete file" option (from its system box),
- for deleting the selected file.
-
- 3. Quick Run also has a "DOS Window" button to open a DOS window.
-
- 4. Statline now has an (optional) hourly chime.
-
- 5. A Configure box now turns on/off the following:
- a. The hourly chime.
- b. The confirmation prompt before exiting Windows.
- c. Whether to close Quick Menu after running a program or not.
-
- 6. Quick Run can now change drives to run/delete files.
-
- 7. Configurable options and Quick Menu command lines are stored in the
- WIN.INI file under the heading of "[Statline]".
-
- 8. Quick Exit Windows is now a button choice.
-
- 9. MiniPad now handles text wider than its window.
-
- 10. More configurable options were added.
-
- The following may be placed in the "[Statline]" section of the WIN.INI
- file:
-
- a. "ModeColor=x" Where "x" is the color of the Windows mode display.
-
- b. "DateColor=x" Where "x" is the color of the date and time.
-
- c. "MemColor=x" Where "x" is the color of the memory free display.
-
- Note that each color value "x" ranges from 0 to 15.
-
-
-
- Fixes:
-
- 1. The HELP display is considerably less taxing on the system.
-
- 2. Quick Run's "non-EXE file" warning was toned down a bit.
-
- 3. Statline's update time has been changed to every 12 seconds.
-
- 4. A minor timing bug was fixed.
-
- 5. The Minipad no longer chooses "OK" when you press <Enter>.
-
-
- Notes:
-
- 1. The hourly chime was at a user's suggestion, thanks to Mr. Robert
- Johns.
-
- 2. Quick Run "DOS Window" attempts to run "COMMAND.COM", which
- it may not find if you do not have it in your path.
- (4DOS users take note).
-
- 3. Thanks to Morrie Wilson for help with overlapping windows.
