README for LIST2 1.56, Copyright Warp Factor 7. LIST2 1.56 fixes a couple of problems with 1.55. 1. The list2.exe's which were not supposed to require the .DLL's still required the Borland runtime .DLL's. 2. The list2reg program being unbelieveably slow. These have now been speeded up dramatically, there were previously so slow as to give the impression that they had locked up. Name change for Release 2.00. I have had a number of complaints about calling the program LIST??. And as it seems to be causing some confusion especially with respect to the name of the .ZIP file I've decided to change the name at the 2.00 release. This is the Beta for OnScreen 2.00 from Warp Factor 7, which I expect to release by the end of November 1994. There is currently no documentation or online help for the new filebrowser interface and I hope it is sufficiently obvious to be usable for the basic functions of selecting and viewing. Pressing / in the filebrowser will bring up a menu on the status line. The highlighted characters represent the options available. You may also press Alt+ the highlighted letter without brining up the menu first. Multiple select/tagging is currently not implemented in the filebrowser. A new manual is in the works and will be available in Microsoft Word, LIST2 "Text with Layout" format and (hopefully) OS/2 .ipf format. If you have already registered a version prior to 1.56 and have received a serial number, then you will be able to use the included LIST2REG.EXE program to bind you serial number and personal details to the LIST2.EXE file. Your serial number will be valid for all 2.xx releases. Please do give copies of LIST2 to your friends, local BBS's etc. Please ensure that you pass them the original LIST2 zipfile intact. Under no circumstances should you pass on a copy of LIST2 which has had your serial number bound to the executable. LIST2 will unpack into a directory named LIST2 in the current directory. Remember to use the -d switch with PKUNZIP, otherwise the OS/2, DOS and Win32 versions will overwrite each other. The directory structure is as follows .\LIST2\list2.doc* Manual in Microsoft Word format. .\LIST2\list2.man* Manual in LIST2 text format. .\LIST2\file_id.diz BBS description file .\LIST2\license.doc License agreement .\LIST2\list2.hlp Online help .\LIST2\list2.set Settings file .\LIST2\list2.txt Additional information .\LIST2\readme.txt Readme please! .\LIST2\reg.doc Registration form .\LIST2\DOS DOS 32bit implementation .\LIST2\DOS\GO32.EXE** DJ's GO32 Dos Extender .\LIST2\DOS\list2.exe DOS executable .\LIST2\DOS\list2reg.exe* DOS registration executable .\LIST2\OS2 OS/2 2.x/Warp implementation .\LIST2\OS2\list2.exe LIST2 that does not require .DLL's .\LIST2\OS2\list2.ico Icon for OS/2 .\LIST2\OS2\list2reg.EXE OS/2 registration executable .\LIST2\OS2\dll OS/2 .DLL based implementation .\LIST2\OS2\DLL\C215MT.DLL Borland C++ OS/2 runtime .DLL .\LIST2\OS2\DLL\cmslib10.dll OS/2 2.x/Warp support .DLL .\LIST2\OS2\DLL\list2.EXE LIST2 that requires .DLL's .\LIST2\WIN32 Win32 implementation .\LIST2\WIN32\list2.exe LIST2 that does not require .DLL's .\LIST2\WIN32\list2reg.exe Win32 registration executable .\LIST2\WIN32\dll Win32 .DLL based implementation .\LIST2\WIN32\DLL\cmslib10.dll Win32 support .DLL .\LIST2\WIN32\DLL\CW32MT.DLL Borland C++ Win32 runtime .DLL .\LIST2\WIN32\DLL\list2.exe LIST2 that requires .DLL's Please do report any bugs you find or any feature that you feel is missing from this beta. There will be one further beta before 2.00 is released and it's likely to be another 3-4 months after that before the next release. Bug fixes will of course be issued ASAP. Thank you for your time and effort in testing this product. Yours sincerely John J. Allen.
