********************************************************************** ClockMan95 MAJOR CHANGES ********************************************************************** ClockMan95 Build 51 (29oct96) <-- Current release NEW! (NT 4.0) This is the first release of NT 4.0 compatibility for ClockMan95. (The same .exe file should work on Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, & Windows NT 4.0.) Let us know if you have any problems running this under NT 4.0. FIXED! Sometimes sending some punctuation keys to DOS boxes wouldn't work correctly. They do now. FIXED! If you change an event's time from within its WIL script so that it will recur later in the day, it will recur. FIXED! (NT 3.51) If you are hooked up to the Internet directly and don't have Remote Access Service (RAS) installed, you can now invoke the Internet Automation Assistant correctly. ClockMan95 Build 47 (25aug96) FIXED! Reboot & Shutdown Windows now works correctly under NT 3.x. FIXED! The WXSock WIL extender DLL no longer assumes you have RAS installed. (This only affected users who were directly connected to the Internet.) FIXED! If you call WXSock's HTTPRecvText function and the page received is longer than the max length you requested, or if the last line of text received doesn't end in a linefeed it will no longer GP fault. FIXED! The Pegasus Mail Automation Assistant handles the Send/ Receive Mail option correctly. ClockMan95 Build 45 (30jul96) FIXED! (NT 3.x) If you don't have NT's Dial-Up Networking installed, ClockMan95 will now run correctly. FIXED! (NT 3.x) Setup now creates Program Manager groups with icons correctly. FIXED! (NT 3.x) Setup sets the files' dates & times correctly. ClockMan95 Build 43 (15jul96) NEW! This should be considered a beta release of the NT 3.x version of ClockMan95. (The same .exe file should work on both Windows 95 & Windows NT 3.x.) Let us know if you have any problems running this under NT. FIXED! Sometimes sending Alt- & other special keystrokes to DOS boxes wouldn't work correctly. They do now. FIXED! If your WIL script calls the ClockMan custom command CMEvtItemize, it now returns the correct event IDs. FIXED! CMGetEvtInfo now works without GP faulting if you pass it an event ID of @CMFirst. FIXED! Some users were reporting that their Automation Assistants weren't advancing to the next page under certain circumstances. IMPROVED! The WIL scripts created by the Internet Automation Assistants will automatically redial the host if there's a busy signal. You can specify how many times to redial. IMPROVED! ClockMan95 now saves your password with RAS jobs (Internet stuff) under Windows NT 3.51. To change your passwords for your RAS accounts, goto the new RAS tab in the Options dialog. Windows95 users won't see this, as it's not necessary under Windows95. ClockMan95 Build 38 (22may96) NEW! You can specify which program will be launched when you hit the Edit button for WIL files in Set Alarms. Previously it would always bring up Notepad. This way, you can associate WIL or WBT files with WinBatch if you like, and also be able to specify your favorite program for editing the files. Have your cake & eat it too! NEW! ClockMan95's Setup now includes an Uninstall option, and also adds an entry to the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs entry. FIXED! Hitting the Hide button on a Countdown event sometimes caused a GP fault. FIXED! If you're running Windows95 standalone (not on a net), ClockMan would erroneously claim it was missing some DLLs. IMPROVED! The Internet-related custom WIL commands have been split off into their own WIL extender file (WXSock32i.dll). This means you can call these functions directly from a standalone WinBatch file (if you have WinBatch), as well as part of a ClockMan event. ClockMan95 Build 36 (27mar96) FIXED! Depending on how you specified a document in the Pgm line, sometimes ClockMan wouldn't launch its associated program correctly. FIXED! Setup will now add ClockMan95 to the Start Menu's StartUp folder if you ask it to. ClockMan95 Build 35 (21mar96) <-- Initial release NEW! Automation Assistants - a set of wizards that make it easy to automate some of the more popular utilities. We lead you step-by-step through setting up an event for Norton Disk Doctor, Windows95 Defrag, Eudora, Pegasus Mail, OzCIS, Tapcis, McAfee Virus Scanner, & more! And more Automation Assistants to be available later. NEW! 12 custom WIL commands let your WIL script query or even change aspects of the event that launched it. NEW! 22 Internet WIL commands let your WIL script dial up your ISP in the background without bothering with the "Connect To" dialog. You can even do Winsock programming in your WIL scripts! (See WILCMDS.TXT) NEW! You can now pass parameters to a WIL event! Just include them on the WIL command line as you would when running a program. NEW! Now that this is a Windows 95 app, the InfoBars position themselves on the right side of the active window's caption bar. IMPROVED! ClockMan95 is a multithreaded, 32-bit app. IMPROVED! WIL events are now in their own threads. This means that no matter how long a WIL script takes to finish, the next event will always run on time. IMPROVED! We've added a Pause button to the Countdown box. IMPROVED! ClockMan recognizes long filenames, including ones with embedded spaces. In Set Alarms, you must put a program's pathname (or data filename) with embedded spaces in quotes. (If you want to activate an existing window, you must put the title name in [] instead of quotes.) IMPROVED! ClockMan95 detects if you're running Norton File Assist & moves the InfoBars over accordingly.
