- Updates to V4.1 Release 03-09-91
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 1 >- fastmenu PLUS now has two ways to exit to DOS.
-
- A >- Pressing the ESCape key will exit fastmenu PLUS and go
- directly to DOS, totally removing fastmenu PLUS from memory.
- To re-start after this exit, you must type 'FAST' at the DOS
- prompt. This exit may be disabled through the (S)etup module
- option (A).
-
- B >- Pressing the 'O' key will exit fastmenu PLUS by shelling to
- DOS. You may re-start fastmenu PLUS by typing 'EXIT' at the
- DOS prompt. Using this exit leaves a portion of fastmenu PLUS
- loaded in memory, making the return much faster. This exit
- may be password protected through the (S)etup module.
-
- 2 >- The time display now has the leading '0' removed from the day
- number.
-
- 3 >- Some color and prompt changes have been made throughout all
- modules.
-
- 4 >- The Disk utility module now has a new option on the first menu that
- provides a utility to search your system for a certain file or
- group of files. This routine will search any drive, directory or
- all directories on your system and is very fast.
-
- 5 >- The Disk utility file list screen now does not display active
- options to Copy, Delete, Rename, Start, View, Edit, and Fix files
- until you have tagged or marked at least one file.
-
- 6 >- The Disk utility file list screen now has a new option, (F)ix.
- This option provides a way to encrypt a file using a password
- that you provide. Encrypting a file with this option leaves it
- totally un-readable until you decrypt it through the same process
- using the exact password that you used to encrypt it.
-
- 7 >- The BatchDOS module now has a new option 'Utility'. Using this
- option will take you to a module that provides the following
- utilities.
-
- A >- Set or change your Mouse sensitivity rate or movement ratio.
-
- AT- B >- Set or change your keyboard key repeat delay rate and speed.
-
- AT- C >- Set your system Time and Date.
-
- D >- Toggle file write verify on or off.
-
- 8 >- The Setup module now has a new option 'A'. This option lets you
- determine whether a user may exit fastmenu PLUS.
-
- 9 >- The Info module now uses two pages. This eliminates the problem of
- some information scrolling off the top of your screen.
-
- Ver.4.1 Bug Fix Release 03-17-91
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- During entering applications to the applications editor module the
- password would become confused at times due to the use of the (T)itle
- option. During page re-titleing the password variable would become
- lost. This problem is now fixed.
-
- In the utility file locate module, on some occasions the Disk Free Space
- and Disk Total Space prompts would display wrong numbers, this should
- now be fixed.
-
- From the file list menu in the utility module, the (E)dit option is now
- available without marking any files. This allows creating a new text
- file.
-
- The screen blanking routine at times was causing an illegal screen
- write, causing the program to drop out. This problem has been fixed.
-
- In the system utility module, the mouse sensitivity adjustment routine
- was causing a program drop out if the mouse driver was found to be
- un-compatible. This routine now first checks for compatibility and if
- found to be un-compatible it will prompt you and continue.
-
- In the phone book module, the (P)rint option was not accessable unless
- you were using a mouse. This problem is now fixed.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- NOTE !! In the shareware version of fastmenu PLUS the screen
- blanking may not be turned off. However you may still set
- the time delay before screen blanking between 2 to 999
- seconds.
-
- The latest version of fastmenu PLUS along with other jwh:SoftWare
- applications may be downloaded from the fastbytes BBS on the first
- call. A general files area for uploading and downloading has also been
- opened up on this BBS.
