                                  DIRMAN 1.34

     Added long filename support for Windows 95.  This necessitated a
     change to the screen layout.  Windows 95 users will not see the short
     command menu on the right hand side of the screen.  This area is now
     used to display the long filenames.  New header and footer lines
     provide relevant information for volume label, current directory,
     number of files, bytes used, bytes free, number of tagged files, and
     total bytes in tagged files.

     Stomped on a bug in Windows for Workgroups V3.11 that would prevent
     Dirman from copying a group of tagged files to a networked printer.
     Now you can supply LPT1 (for example) as the target for the tagged
     files and they will be copied to whatever printer is mapped to LPT1.


                                  DIRMAN 1.31

     Added Jump to Filename command.  Hit the <J>ump key and the first
     letter of the filename you want to land on and the cursor is placed on
     the first filename that starts with that letter or the next higher
     letter.  This command is only active when the directory listing is
     sorted by filename in ascending order.

     Added option to sort directory listings by their file <A>ttributes.

     Added Reverse order sorting of directory listings.  To sort files in
     reverse order hit the <S>ort key and the <R>everse key AND then the
     key for the kind of sorting you want, <F>ilename, <E>xtension, <S>ize,
     <D>ate, or <A>ttribute.

     Added visual indication for number of files tagged and the total
     number of bytes in the tagged files.

     Added dialog to warn of a pending file overwrite.  If during a <C>opy
     operation the target file already exists, you are given the option to
     abort the copy and preserve the original file, or to continue the
     operation and replace the original with the new file, or cancel the
     operation.  When copying a group of tagged files there is also an
     option to overwrite all of the destination files without additional
     prompts.

     Cleaned up a processor intensive section of the main to keep Win 95
     and OS/2 from pegging the processor usage needle at 100% while waiting
     for a key press in registered copies.

                                  VIEWMAN 1.31

     Increased the maximum number of displayable lines from a fixed value
     of 64,000 to a variable number depending on the amount of free ram
     available.  The table below gives an approximation of the maximum file
     size Viewman can handle for various memory configurations.

                        Max DOS   Typ DOS  Older DOS  Shelled Out  Min DOS
     Free Memory Avail  655,360   600,000   500,000     400,000    262,144
     Aprox Max Lines    225,000   198,000   148,000      98,000     29,000




                                  DIRMAN 1.24

     Cleaned up all Error message dialog boxes.  Also now allow for the
     user to change and save the color of the Error dialogs.

                                  VIEWMAN 1.24

     Added <ALT_F> Fuzzy Search command.


                                  DIRMAN 1.23

     Dirman now reports the Volume Label if present for the current drive.

     Directory of [VOL LABEL] DRIVE:\[SUBDIR\][SUBDIR\][...]FILESPEC

     Where [VOL LABEL] is the Volume label for the current drive, DRIVE is
     the current drive letter, and FILESPEC is the current filespec pattern
     (*.*).

                                  VIEWMAN 1.23

     Fixed a bug in the print block routine which when printing blocks
     greater than 60Kb could get confused and either print a line twice or
     forget to print it all together.

     Added the CTRL_E command EBCDIC filter in Viewman.  This filter makes
     EBCDIC files readable in Viewman.  There may still be three people on
     earth who need this feature, but what the heck now it's in there.

     Added jump to <B>ookmark, ALT_B set Bookmark, and CTRL_B clear all
     bookmarks commands.  Viewman now remembers up to 10 bookmarks which
     can be set with the ALT_B set bookmark command or which are set
     automatically as the result of a successful <F>ind or e<X>act find
     command.

                                  DIRMAN 1.22

     Added <ALT_E> Invoke Editor command to both Dirman and Viewman.

     Added <ALT_I> Change default editor to both Dirman and Viewman.

     Added <ALT_P> Change default printer to Dirman.

     Corrected several compatibility problems encountered in a Windows for
     Workgroups workstation attached to a Windows NT fileserver, including
     handling of INT 24 (Critical Error) error return codes greater than
     20.


                                  DIRMAN 1.21

     Added <E>xecute command to run a program.

     Added <ALT_V> command to toggle between 80x25 and 80x50 character
     mode.  This feature has NOT been tested on Hercules, Monochrome, or
     CGA displays, so results are unpredictable.  If you are using one of
     these displays feel free to test this feature at your own risk.



     Added ability to abort a Copy/Move/Delete Tagged files command when
     the operation fails for any reason.  Previously one had to hit a key
     for every file that was tagged but couldn't be Copy/Move/Deleted. This
     fix allows you to hit the ESC key to abort the rest of the operation.

     Added code to display the parent directory as ".." on Novel networked
     volumes.  Previous versions required that the NetWare shell SHOWDOTS
     ON environment variable had to be set by either the user or the
     network administrator.

     Added the ability to rename sub directories.  Uses the same command as
     <R>ename files.

     Added the option to <P>rint a listing of the current directory.

     Added the <ALT_S> command to provide for customization of color
     schemes and other default settings.

     Changed the name of the environment variable that the UNZIP functions
     look for from "DIRMAN" (which everyone had to create and add to their
     autoexec.bat) to "TEMP" (which many people have already set up in
     their autoexec.bat).  Don't know what I was thinking when I wrote the
     original code.

                                  VIEWMAN 1.21

     Added <J>ump to line number command.

     Fixed bug in <C>opy to Windows Clipboard command that would confuse
     some Windows applications (Notepad for one) where an end of line was.
     Viewman now supplies a CR/LF pair to the clipboard to mark the end of
     a line.

     Added <ALT_V> command to toggle between 80x25 and 80x50 character
     mode.

     Added <T>urbo option to Auto Scroll up/down <ALT_U>/<ALT_D> feature.

     Added the <ALT_S> command to provide for customization of color
     schemes and other default settings.

                                  DIRMAN 1.13

     Squashed bug in <C>opy tagged files when the target was a only drive
     letter and a colon.  Older versions would complain they could not
     create the new file and caused an undue instances of chest tightening.
     Now the new file is created in the root directory of the target drive,
     which is probably what you wanted in the first place.

     The directory listing now show the file sizes formatted with commas.
     Most people find it easier to read numbers formatted like 12,078,459
     rather than 12078459.

     Added the filespec pattern to the top line of the screen which now is
     formatted like:
          Directory of DRIVE:\[SUBDIR\][SUBDIR\][...]FILESPEC
     where DRIVE is the current drive letter and FILESPEC is the current
     filespec pattern (*.*).



     Crushed a bug in the <R>ename command when the file you want to rename
     is in the root directory.  Hopefully the acid level in YOUR stomach
     never increased to critical levels.

     Mangled, stomped, mashed, and finally incinerated a bug in "change dir
     express" <ALT_C>.  It would display "NO FILES FOUND" on rare occasions
     when changing to a sub directory from the root directory just after
     doing a dri<V>e change.  Sheesh!!!

                                  VIEWMAN 1.13

     Added a new option, define record <L>ength to make easier to view
     files with fixed record lengths, but do not contain carriage return or
     line feed characters as record terminators.

     Added the <A>ppend binary command.

     Murdered a bug in <E>nd a block command when last line of the file was
     above the last line of the screen.

     Exterminated a bug when viewing a <Z>ip Directory and no amount
     bashing the decompress and view <Z>ipped file key would produce the
     desired result.  This bug only appeared when there was a Dirman
     environment variable set.

     Allow for Scroll Down 1 line to scroll the last line of the file to
     the top of the display.  Now the <S>tart a block command can set the
     start block marker to any line in the file.

     Added a commands to display record <N>umbers and to start the record
     numbering at some arbitrary value <ALT_N>.  These commands come in
     handy when working with data base type files.

     Fixed a bug in the <P>rint block option when the length of the block
     was greater than 64Kb.  Also changed the way <P>rint block handles
     line length when the output has been redirected to a file with the
     <ALT_P> command.  Formerly this command truncated the width output to
     whatever the width of the screen was.  This is still the case when
     printing to a printer.  In this version when the output goes to a file
     the line length is NOT truncated, making this command similar the dump
     command but filtering IS performed on the output.  Tabs are expanded
     to spaces, unprintable characters are converted to (.) dots, carriage
     return-line feed pairs are added to each line, etc.
