Enhanced Flag (EFLAG) History Version 2.21 *** Now requires you to be using PCBoard v15.21 or higher *** BIG CHANGE! "EFLAG.CFG" is no longer necessary, even though you may still use it if you wish. The new method is to pass the options as command line parameters. This greatly speeds things up during startup. See INSTALL.BAT for an example. See EFLAG.DOC for more details about this. Alternatively, you can refer to "_EFLAG.CFG" which also de- scribes this if you like using the config file. Changed - Renamed "YESNO.CFG" to "YESNOCFG" for language awareness. Renamed "PROMPT1.CFG" to "PR1CFG" for language awareness. Renamed "PROMPT2.CFG" to "PR2CFG" for language awareness. Fixed - If "YESNO.CFG" is present and user highlights "NSTOP" and hits enter (instead of hitting the hotkey) and then says "No" to the "Are you sure?" question, it would reprint the previous prompt twice(!). Added - Ability to use spacebar to tag multiple files for downloading. This feature allows you to tag a bunch of files and then flag them all at once for download. This is much more convenient than the old method where you had to highlight and then flag each file in turn. Needless to say, you must have "Use space bar as in the old flag method" set to "off" in EFLAG.CFG (line #4). With this new feature, a line #6 has been added to EFLAG.CFG. Please refer there for an example. Fixed - Strange how no one ever told me this , but if you change the value for number of spaces in PROMPT1.CFG and PROMPT2.CFG to something other than zero, it doesn't print the highlighted text correctly. Verison 2.2 Added - On prompt #1, if user selects nonstop display, EFLAG will now pop up with a question asking if they are sure. This will cure people who accidentally select nonstop and can't figure out how to abort the humongous file listing. To enable this feature, make sure "YESNO.CFG" is in the same directory as eflag. If this is not present, this feature is automatically disabled. Added - Delay time in the config file (line 5 in EFLAG.CFG). This will put an optional delay between keyboard polls for input, and should decrease some of the load put on the CPU/system (most noticeably under OS/2). Actually, this feature was added in v2.1, but I just forgot to mention it. (doh) Fixed - If a file was highlighted, hitting "!" for PPE info would have the PPE info line partially coloured with the lightbar highlight colour. Minor detail. :) Version 2.11 - Released 02-27-95 Fixed/Changed - Removed the behaviour of having the screen restored if the meta-command "view" was used in the first prompt (so we're back to the previous way). This caused one screen to "jump" by if the user, after hitting "V" to view file, decided to hit enter without entering anything. Oh well, that's the trade-off. Version 2.1 - Released 02-19-95 Added - Seamless support with BlackCat's FileView PPE v2.0! The docs to his File Viewer PPE says to use the EFLAG.PPE that comes with his package. You may still do so if you wish, but this version of EFLAG works just as well. (Take your pick.) Fixed - Before when a command at a prompt was set to execute another PPE or display a file, upon returning, the highlighted filenames would appear one row *below* the actual filename printed on the screen. Fixed - If the "view" meta-command was used (as in the default case were PCBVIEW.BAT would be called), the screen would not get restored upon returning. Fixed - Hitting the question mark to show the help screen will no longer screw up the output text. Version 2.0 - Released 12-10-95 Changed - Completely rewritten in PPL 3.0 for PCBoard 15.2 only. Some features/changes/fixes from Version 1.1 do not even apply any more. However, information from 1.1 is still left in this history file to retain miscellaneous information that acknowledges the fact that I was aware of some "bugs." :) Changed - Reorganized the whole thing; now there are three fairly small config files instead of one large one. Waxed - CONFIG.EXE. Most people just never used it anyway. Fixed - If using PWAFV to view a file, the file listing will not go into nonstop mode after exiting PWAFV. Waxed - DETAILS.DOC. I received no feedback about this from anyone, so tough noogie. Added - More seamless integration with BlackCat's Nuker. Version 1.1 - never released Added - Full support for SCuM-NuKeR. See EFNUKE.PPS for details. Installation is very simple and straight forward. Fixed - Line 1 in EFLAG.CFG has a very long prompt. This was also accidentally left in. It turns out that this prompt was a concatenation of the prompt I wanted in Line 1 along with the prompt in Line 2. This should not have caused too much of a problem since most people change the look/colors of the prompt in the first place. Fixed - In EFLAG.CFG, the description for the correct line 3 was accidentally left out (so that line 3 actually described line 4). This was actually generated from CONFIG.C. Changed - Now when highlighting the filename, the highlighted bar will highlight all the way through the file's uploaded date (column 31). This makes the highlight much more noticeable. This idea was taken from a modified FLAG that Vigilante has been using on his board Apparently, he was working on a different FLAG.PPE as well. :) Fixed/Changed - In DETAILS.DOC, it originally stated that the array allfiles(*) would be redimensioned to a size of 23 if the user's page length was set to zero. This is obviously incorrect since if the user has a continous display, they cannot individually flag files anyway. It now says the PPE will exit. Fixed - INSTALL.BAT was installing "FLAG.PPE" into PCBTEXT instead of "EFLAG.PPE". This was not too surprising as I simply modified the old INSTALL.BAT from FLAG.PPE. Added - Started adding HISTORY.DOC to keep track of changes/fixes. Version 1.0 - Initial Release. Finished 8-4-94. Released 8-20-94.
