HISTORY.702 1 Revised: 02-28-97 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revision history Detailed revision histories for the programs are only maintained for the last three releases. After that, you get the major revision summaries only for the next three releases or so. In any case, if your version of any of these programs is more than a year old, your version is definitely obsolete. Hop onto the Web or e-mail me or something and get the new version! -------------- (full detail; revisions made 1 to 3 releases ago) Release 702 (Feb 1997): All programs: Added a mention in the list of features that pressing Escape stops the programs early. This has always been the case but it isn't documented on the screen for every program. CHANGE: Fixed problem with /REPLACE when source file had non-standard attribute (e.g. hidden). Added /ATTR=attribs parameter. /VERIFY option was replacing text with the wrong thing (arghh!!!) [Replaces chang701.zip] DIRCOMP: Increased maximum levels of directories from 10 to 20. Realistically, this shouldn't be an issue for most people but... Changed it so the /Xfilespec and /Nfilespec specifications applied to subdirectory names too if /S was used. [Replaces dirco701.zip] DIRTOTAL: Increased maximum level of directories from 15 to 20. Realistically, this shouldn't be an issue for most people but... /S and /SPACE options renamed as /SIZE; /D renamed as /DATE. For now, the old formats for these still work. [Replaces dirto701.zip] EUMAIL: Added quick-start instructions to the documentation. [Replaces eumal701.zip] FILL: Made the passing of source and destination more consistent with DOS COPY command. I hadn't realized that "COPY C: A:" was acceptable until someone pointed it out. [Replaces fill701.zip] FIXTEXT: Added HTMSTRIP's multiple line-type handling: program now accepts lines that end with any combination of CR, CR/LF, CR/CR/LF, or LF; previously, every line had to end with the same specification. [Replaces fixtx611.zip] FORTUNE: Added /SIZE, /DATE, and /ATTR=attribs specifications. Made it so that /PROMPT works when running under /-RUN mode; before, you were only prompted if the commands were being executed automatically. [Replaces fortn608.zip] HTMSTRIP: Added support for character-translation file, allowing you to fix up those ugly characters like the weird apostrophe in "Disney’s". Of course, page designers aren't supposed to use platform dependent characters like this (that's what all of those "entity references" are for) but you know how it goes. Changed default table borders to be text instead of graphics characters (/BORDER=T over /BORDER=S). Changed program so will skip text before HTML commands are encountered vs skipping the file itself. Removed blank line between items in
