TY.EXE History file  


**********    June 12, 1993 v1.0

     Not released to the public, this was Steve's program at this time. He
made it to just be a basic TYPE replacment.

     -d Used to count the total number of lines while reading the text file.


**********    January 11, 1994 v2.0

     TY.EXE revised, after I (Stuart) started using the TY program that
steve gave me I talked him into doing some changes and releasing it as
SHAREWARE to everyone! (and there was much re-joycing).

     -d changed to /d and was changed to show approximate number of pages
        if the user used the PRINT.EXE that comes with DOS.

     /? Help page to show all command line switchs. Or if something was
        typed in wrong this page is also shown.

     /i General information about the program and the group Steve and I
        desided to make. (the beginning of a new Demo Group!).

     changed the way the program exited to dos. Making ESC, X or Control C
     exit to dos, making it more user friendly.


**********    January 17, 1994 v2.1

     After we released v2.0 I (Stuart) noticed that we forgot to change
the /d to show total number of pages that would be printed if the user
used the PRINT.EXE command. So I fixed that...

     /t added to show the total number of lines and total number of pages
         if printed with the PRINT.EXE command in DOS. Except that this
         does not show the file to the screen, it just counts and then 
         displays the number for the user. After all if I have to change
         something in the file that should have been done the in v2.0 I
         might as well change a few other thing.

     HELP screen made to be easier to read.

     Found That ANSI graphic files won't work, due to the damn ANSI coding
      it counted to many lines, without any lines ending... So what you
      can't understand what I am typing and I don't care.. IT IS FIXED!!!

lets hope that no other "Undocumented Features" show up for a while so we
can get started on our next project.
