Context sensitive help extended Xplore for text string introduced Use of overlays (using EMS if installed) Function of Shell modified and Ctrl-Shell introduced (see docs) Amount of EMS installed (if applicable) added to information display Minor cosmetic improvements. V1.53 30/04/1990 Use of /s fixed Naming of overlay file made more flexible 79th Column cleaned up when mouse not installed and switching between Zoom and file mode Ctrl-K D now exits from editor When Shelling to DOS, current DOS directory is made same as highlighted directory V1.54 30/08/1990 Screen display when doing a MOVE while in Zoom Mode has been fixed. V1.55 07/09/1990 Entering Zoom Mode when less than 3 files were in directory caused runtime error Spurious 'Mouse dropping' was left when switching between 25 line mode and 43/50 line mode Deleting last file in left hand column while in Zoom mode left part of highlight bar V1.56 19/10/1990 File order is now saved in the configuration file correctly V1.57 03/11/1990 Rename directory added Escape on 'Confirm each delete' now aborts delete Ctrl-Copy now continues after 'N' to overwrite /S when in root directory fixed Drive name added to path display V1.58 08/11/1990 If the number of directories was exactly the same as the number of lines in the directory window and a mouse was being used then ActaeOn failed with runtime error 200. This has been fixed. V1.59 10/11/1990 If a file was Moved from one directory to another and the file already existed in the destination directory and 'Y' was replied to Overwrite? then ActaeOn failed with runtime error 005. This has been fixed. If it was attempted to copy a file to itself (Destination directory same as Source directory) and 'Y' was replied to Overwrite? then ActaeOn would truncate the file to 0 bytes. Copying a file to itself is now disallowed. If a both buttons (or centre button) on the mouse was pressed to tag a directory when the mouse cursor was below the last directory then memory would become corrupted requiring a reboot. ActaeOn now tags the last directory. V1.60 12/11/1990 Mouse clicking on Rename directory after the 'N' resulted in New Directory. Clicking on the C of CTRL with the mouse did not select Control mode Versions not listed in the above release history are beta test versions and are not for general distribution. KNOWN ERRORS If you have a Logitech mouse with a version of the driver less then version 4 then the mouse cursor disappears after line 25 if in 43/50 line mode. You need to upgrade your mouse driver to fix this. ActaeOn does not currently distinguish between 8088, 8086 and V30 processors. It should be noted that any non-trivial software product will contain bugs. If you find any then let me know and I'll do my best to fix them. UPGRADE NOTES Users upgrading from versions of ActaeOn prior to 1.52 should delete their ACTAEON.CFG and ACTAEON.CDF files before running the program. MANUAL ADDITIONS A command line switch has been added so that ActaeOn reads only the current sub-directory and its subordinates. To invoke this option simply type ACTAEON /S You may rename ACTAEON to something shorter (ie ACT) as long as you also rename the help file (.HLP), the overlay file (.OVR), the Configuration file (.CFG), and the Command Definition File (.CDF). The latter two are created after selecting options in the Configuration menu. So for example to have ACT as the program name you should REN ACTAEON.EXE ACT.EXE REN ACTAEON.HLP ACT.HLP REN ACATEON.OVR ACT.OVR REN ACTAEON.CFG ACT.CFG (if applicable) REN ACTAEON.CDF ACT.CDF (if applicable)
