History of FLAG+
==============================================================================
v1.0á (10-12-95) First beta release.
v1.1á (10-15-95) RIPscrip routines improved and added configuration files
for each language.
Added @FLAG+@ macro support to the VIEW?.* files - replaced
with the file name being viewed.
v1.2á (10-21-95) MAJOR BUG FIX! RIP buttons were being 'killed' when mouse
regions were created, which disabled the buttons. Fixed
by putting all buttons and mouse regions in PREFILER,
while eliminates the need to set an x,y offset for the
text window and create mouse regions for each page of
files. Also allows the caller to click on ANY part
of the file (file name, date, description, etc) where
the regions are created. (See PREFILER in docs)
Increased speed by removing several duplicate routines and
using faster routines.
Added @FLAG+@ macro support to the HELP?.* and TEST?.* files
HELP?.* @FLAG+@ = current version
TEST?.* @FLAG+@ = file name to be tested
Added 3rd-party support for viewing archives. (See docs)
Added 3rd-party support for testing archives. (See docs)
v2.00 (12-16-95) @FLAG+@ macro changed to @OPTEXT@ in all files. -PCBoard
will now handle the macros.
When using RIPscrip, RIP terminals will store/restore the
screen which makes it much faster.
Loads much faster via STARTUP.PPE.
Improved handling when viewing an archive.
The old (F)lag command added. If you enter a file currently
on the screen, FLAG+ will highlight it. -Pretty slick!
External download command added, works exactly the same as
viewing or testing (Display file is called DNLOAD?.*)
