- RE: Changes since 4.5...
-
- July 6, 1993
- SW 4.5a
-
- /@# will now not error if the row value is greater than the screen mode
- will allow. It will simply place the cursor on the last row. Likewise,
- if the column value is out of range, the cursor will be placed at column 1.
-
- New switch /3D# will display the window frame with a 3-D effect. The # can
- be 1 - 4 and will shade portions of the frame like /S does for the back-
- ground. If /3D follows a /S#, the 3D effect will be on the same side as the
- shadow when no number is specified. The D is optional as it is only used
- for readability.

- August 7, 1993
- SW 4.5b
-
- Help window now possible with User Input within screen definitions. F1 will
- display the window with the heading _window_help.
-
- Screen Saver added for User Input and Query. The /D# switch will set the
- delay from 1 to 30 minutes. Default is 5. A /D0 will disable the feature.
-
- Changed the way environment variables are handled so that they are evaluted
- as the window is displayed rather than when the when the line is read into
- memory.

- November 6, 1993
- SW 4.6
-
- The window border background color can be set separately from the window
- background color using /F##,##. The ## after the comma will set the
- background color. If you want to use the default foreground color, just
- use /F,##.
-
- Multiple screen def labels can be used on the same command line. This can
- expand the flexibility the using screen defs to the limit of available memory.
- The command line format is: SW @filename label label... Only one help window
- is allowed within the group. The only limitation is the length of the command
- line (128 characters) and available memory.
-
- Internal errors, file not found, label not found, etc., now return EL 127
-
- if you use the extension .SW for your creen def files, SW will use it as a
- default. SW @filename is the same as SW @filename.sw.
-
- Window width calculations have been corrected so that environment variable
- values shorter than the variable name will not result in a box that is too
- wide.
-
- There is now an encryption version of SW available for anyone who needs a
- little extra security. It functions exactly the same as the normal version
- and will also read straight text files but it will also read specially
- encrypted files for those cases where you need to keep people from modifying
- things. Encrypt/decrypt program is included. See docs for more info
-

- Check the History section in the doc file for page references to the new
- features.
