Once again, BE SURE THAT YOU GET RID OF THE OLD .REZ FILE before running this version. This will be the last time you have to do this, as I've added a version marker to the file; future versions will update the .REZ file if it's fairly recent, otherwise just create a new one and stomp on your old configuration settings. Life is hard. --------------------------------- Fixed Bugs --------------------------------- * QEMM 6.0 -- PC Gopher III is "executing an illegal instruction"; this was a long-standing bug in the TCP driver, which was also causing "system integrity violation" errors when run under Windows. Thanks to George Gonzalez and Earl Schleske for fixing this (and, incidentally, for supplying all of the versions of PC Gopher with their TCP/IP guts). * fixed embarrassing "out of heap space" errors, forever. I think. * fixed a memory leak in the textfile save routine * changed the overlay strategy, moving approximately 40K from the executable file into the overlay file * secondary server support added * fixed text-formatting glitch * fixed nagging standard file dialog bug (actually, Earl fixed this one) * single-window mode windows, when scrolled down from the top position, were giving birth to mutant children with mangled scrollers. Fixed. --------------------------------- Added Features --------------------------------- * added a version marker to the resource file, to simplify upgrades to future releases * text window and browser window positioning code works in a more rational manner (or at least in what I consider to be a more rational manner) --------------------------------- Unfixed Bugs --------------------------------- * I've had a few reports of "Error 210, Object not initialized". Anyone who sees this -- PLEASE send mail and let me know EXACTLY what the sequence of events is to reproduce it. It's a rare, intermittent bug, the worst kind... * status indicator in browser and textwindow frames should keep the byte count visible at all times * if there's a non-single-window mode browser on the screen, and you switch to single-window mode, you have to open a new browser to get the "Go Back" button to appear * in single-window mode, a failed query shouldn't close the window * reposition windows when changing video mode * where's the help system? * why isn't there a manual? * peek in gplustest/ask/e-mail directory crashes client * empty directories shouldn't be displayed * need window tile and cascade functions * small CSO dialog needs status line * search text should be preserved across CSO lookups when using large CSO dialog box * null/blank queries to index servers need to be filtered out * should be able to choose large or small CSO dialog as default Have fun, and keep reporting bugs!
