U P D A T E H I S T O R Y
|
||
------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Release Version 1.14
|
||
----------------------
|
||
|
||
Last Updated: September 1992
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
|
||
This file contains descriptions of the updates made to the
|
||
Laughing Dog Screen Maker program since the first release in
|
||
March 1992.
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
LDOG.EXE
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
V1.01:
|
||
--Internal release only.
|
||
|
||
V1.02:
|
||
20APR92 -- Fixed a bug in the PostScript output which caused the
|
||
alternate PrCh function to fail. For consistency, all file and
|
||
path names are now forcedto uppercase.
|
||
|
||
--Fixed a bug introduced in V1.01 which prevented the PostScript
|
||
option from working correctly.
|
||
|
||
V1.10:
|
||
25JUL92 -- Fixed a problem with the Set Last Screen Row dialog box
|
||
that would sometimes cause the row number to increment more than
|
||
one row at a time when using the mouse.
|
||
|
||
--Initialize screen to White on Black ($0F) upon start-up.
|
||
|
||
--Added ASCII Text output to the Generate Code/Export Menu. (See
|
||
READ.ME file for more info on using this feature)
|
||
|
||
--Added the ability to automatically insert WildCat! and PCBoard
|
||
@variables into a screen using <cntl>-V hot key.(See READ.ME file
|
||
for more info on using this feature)
|
||
|
||
--Limited the length of screen rows exported as PCBoard or
|
||
WildCat! BBS files to 79 chars. This change was necessary to
|
||
avoid screens displaying a blank line between each row from
|
||
within WildCat! and PCBoard on screens having a background color
|
||
|
||

||

||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
other than black. The last row on the screen (row 79) is now
|
||
truncated.
|
||
|
||
--Changed the colors used in the help screens. People suffering
|
||
from certain kinds of color blindness were having trouble seeing
|
||
the green on black text, so the colors were changed to solve this
|
||
problem. If it is still difficult to see, please let me know and
|
||
I will keep on adjusting until everyone can read the help
|
||
screens. (Unfortunately, the colors are hard-coded into the help
|
||
file, and cannot be user configured at this time).
|
||
|
||
V1.11:
|
||
14AUG92 -- Removed the invalid WildCat! BBS @variables @NODESTAT###@
|
||
and @NODEUSER###@ from the WildCat! @Variable Menu.
|
||
|
||
V1.12:
|
||
02SEP92 -- Although still not "officially" supported, EGA and VGA
|
||
extended screen modes (modes with more than the standard 25
|
||
screen rows, like 35-line mode, 50-line mode, etc.) work better
|
||
now. Fixed the problem of the mouse cursor occasionally not
|
||
being able to move beyond the 25th row. Fixed the problem of
|
||
getting multiple copies of a window, copied block, or BBS
|
||
@variables showing up on the screen when using the Make a Window,
|
||
Paste From File, or Insert BBS Variable features while UNDO was
|
||
active. NOTE: In order for LDOG to work with these extended
|
||
screen modes, the display must be in the mode prior to running
|
||
LDOG.EXE, if you start LDOG in one mode then shell out to DOS and
|
||
put the display in another mode, the screen will change, but LDOG
|
||
will behave as though the original mode is still in effect, not a
|
||
pretty sight...
|
||
|
||
V1.13:
|
||
Internal release only
|
||
|
||
V1.14:
|
||
25SEP92 -- Fixed a bug which caused the check mark to appear on the
|
||
wrong line of the Generate Code Menu when toggling the "AS
|
||
Monochrome" choice on and off.
|
||
|
||
--Fixed a bug which sometimes caused the program not to return to
|
||
the default drive and directory upon quitting if the program was
|
||
executed through the DOS search path from another location on the
|
||
hard drive.
|
||
|
||
--When Copy to File is selected from the Block Menu, the default
|
||
file name in the Save File dialog box now defaults to the last
|
||
block file name saved or pasted.

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
--Fixed a bug in the Color Pascal and Monochrome Assembly code
|
||
generated which prevented it from running correctly on some XT
|
||
computers with BIOS dates earlier than 1/10/86.
|
||
|
||
--Added early binding to some functions in the PostScript code
|
||
generated which could speed PostScript printing somewhat.
|
||
|
||
--Added the "/#copies 1 def" variable definition to the
|
||
PostScript code, which allows you to more efficiently print
|
||
multiple copies of screens by changing the "1" to the number of
|
||
copies you wish to print.
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
LDOGSHOW.EXE
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|

V1.01:
|
||
20APR92 -- Fixed the Copyright notice in the helpscreen
|
||
|
||
V1.02:
|
||
21JUL92 -- Program has not changed since V1.01, it was just recompiled
|
||
with a different compiler.
|
||
|
||
V1.03:
|
||
03SEP92 -- Fixed the bug which prevented a single file with a filename
|
||
beginning with a numeric character from being displayed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
LDOGRAB.EXE
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
V1.02:
|
||
21JUL92 -- Fixed a problem which caused unexpected results if a screen
|
||
being captured contained the characters with the values 0 or 255
|
||
(which would have shown up as spaces on the application screen).
|
||
These character values are now replaced with a normal space
|
||
character (32 decimal/20 hex).
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
BLK2EPS.EXE
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
13APR92 -- Fixed a bug which caused the alternate PrCh function to
|
||
fail. For consistency, all file and path names are now forced to
|
||
uppercase.
