                             TEST UPDATE INFORMATION
                             -----------------------


01/21/94 19:26 PCBOARD.EXE
--------------------------
- I just realized that there was a "PREVIEW" for the "F;V" command and also a
  "PREVIEW" for the (V)iew Settings command.  Obviously, they both can't share
  the same name.  So PREVIEW and VIEW (for the View Settings command) has been
  renamed to PRESTAT and STAT.  If you were using these files, you will need to
  rename them.

- One final addition to PCBoard before release...

  Added the ability to use environment variables as part of the path for
  DISPLAY files.  For example, in PCBSetup:

      Name/Loc of WELCOME File          : %GEN%\WELCOME

  or inside of a PCBTEXT record or another display file:

      %RIP%\MYFILE
      !%PPE%\MYPROG.PPE

  For the above examples to work, you might have the following lines in your
  BOARD.BAT file:

     SET GEN=C:\PCB\GEN
     SET RIP=C:\PCB\RIP
     SET PPE=C:\PCB\PPE

  NOTE:  This ONLY works on DISPLAY files and PPE files.  Files that are either
  displayed to the caller by PCBoard, or PPE files which are launched by
  PCBoard.  These can be specified in PCBSetup, or they can be %FILESPEC and
  !FILESPEC.PPE files inside of PCBTEXT records, or %FILESPEC and !FILESPEC.PPE
  lines inside of *other* display files.  But configuration files, such as
  FSEC, PWRD, your WORK directory, etc, will not be able to use environment
  variables.

- Modified the QWK packet CONTROL.DAT line #9 to properly indicate when the
  current user is the sysop of the system.

- Modified file date handling similar to PCBFiler changes shown below.


01/21/94 13:28 PCBFILER.EXE
---------------------------
- Made a few changes to the way PCBFiler handles the dates on files (in DIR
  listings) to allow a little more flexibility by turning some invalid dates
  into valid dates.  Also, prepared PCBFiler for the future by defining year
  values from 00-79 as "2000-2079" so that they will be valid and will sort
  correctly after the year 2000.  :-)


01/21/94 10:06 PCBPACK.EXE
--------------------------
- According to the history, MEMCHECK was removed from PCBPACK.EXE on 11/30/93.
  But looking at the files, it appears that it was accidently reintroduced into
  the 12/18/93 release.  Removed again.


01/20/94 19:24 PCBOARD.EXE
--------------------------
- Modified the routine used to calculate disk free space so that it now checks
  the PATH as well as the drive letter.

  This became necessary because LANtastic offers the ability to put multiple
  physical drives under control of a single logical drive letter.  For
  instance, if you use a "NET USE H: \\SERVER" command, the entire set of
  drives (from the server) are under control of drive H: at the workstation.
  This means that H:\C-DRIVE would have a different amount of free space
  available as compared to H:\D-DRIVE, even though both are logical drive H:.

  This change allows PCBoard to compute the amount of upload space available
  on the upload drive regardless of the current directory on that drive (given
  the above scenario of multiple physical drives on a single logical letter).

- Modified the return to the File List Command prompt after a file display
  command so that the flagging-more-prompt is displayed just prior to
  returning to the File List Command prompt.  If you are using FLAG.PPE this
  gives you a chance to flag any files that may have been found.

- I've had a couple of reports that say the "Time Limit Exceeded" problem
  (introduced in the 1/14 release) still occurs on some systems when returning
  from a DOOR.  I haven't been able to duplicate this, but have made a change
  that may have an effect on it.  If you have experienced this problem, please
  get back to me ASAP on the status of the problem.

  MNU processing
  --------------
- Added support for better EXIT handling for BRDM/BRDS MNU files.


01/20/94 15:18 PCBSM.EXE
------------------------
- Similar to the free space checking change up above (in PCBoard), PCBSM will
  now properly calculate free space if the USERS and USERS.INF files are on
  different "physical drives" even though both files are on the same drive
  letter.


01/20/94 15:27 PCBFILER.EXE
---------------------------
- Similar to the free space checking change up above (in PCBoard), PCBFiler's
  ALT-F command will now prompt for a path and not just a drive letter so that
  multiple physical drives on a single drive letter can now be examined for
  drive space availability.


01/20/94 15:36 PCBDIAG.EXE
--------------------------
- The "Float Node Number" value was being printed as a 0 instead of Y/N.
  Fixed.
