QuickSHARE Update List A file outlining the updates to the QuickSHARE catalog In this file, I will list the primary updates to the QuickSHARE catalog by: file name, date, size, etc.; description of file; category in which the file belongs; if the file is an update to a previously offered library; and any additional changes to the catalog that merit remark. Note: some versions of the catalog are never publically released. This file will make note of the changes in the catalog, whether released or not. Note that the "U" section of the list identifies files that have been updated (where you will have an old file that should be deleted). If a file is an update, therefore, there will be a "*" under the "U" title. I will also make note of the filenames that have been replaced, and the name of the file which is the replacement. Cat v2.29: 02/19/1991 - Major update notes ---------------------- o - Updated the point information section and added 1 point o - Trimmed the demo library description section. The catalog is geting rather large and I had to do something to save on file space. Future releases may have to be split into more than one file. o - Removed the note about Tom Frye. Don't want your head to swell too big there Tom . o - Added new information about QB for Windows (updated) at end. o - Changed the QSUPDATE header. I *will* from now on make mention of files that have updated, even if the name does indicate a change from a previous version. This should make life a little easier for the points. o - Name changes/updates: QBTREE45 replaces QBTREE42, PBCLON12 replaces PBCLON10, ASICV201 replaces ASICV20, DISPFILE replaces (yes) DISPFILE [new version], MWYAC200 replaces MWYAC, QBBBS103 replaces QBBS100, PKLTE103 replaces PKLTE100, QD-V13 replaces QD-V12, LINEGA24 replaces LINESEGA. o - Total size this update: 2.2mb, 47 files FileName----Size--Added On----------------------------Description---U-Category AREA300 11295 Feb 19 91 Phone area code finder appl in flat QB .

UTIL Cat v2.30: 03/04/1991 - Minor update notes ---------------------- o - Added Point #9, Apple Capital BBS o - Changed the description for EZWINDOWS and BCDBAS o - Minor restructuring of catalog in terms of layout o - Removed the discounted 360k notice since I have now distributed all of the used 360k disks I have. Cat v2.31: 03/12/1991 - Minor update notes ---------------------- o - I noticed that, for MONTHS, I have been calling LZHE100.COM LZEXE100.COM (uh, oops). These are two totally different utilities. I have changed the reference to LZEXE to LZHE, which is what it should have read all along. Cat v2.32: 03/21/1991 - Minor update notes ---------------------- * - Note (new "rule"): QSUPDATE will only contain the last two public releases ("Major Updates" not "Minor Updates") to keep the size of the file low. Also, note that as of this writing I have about 12 megs of QS submissions to evaluate. The catalog is getting so large that I am going to have to start splitting it into sections. The next major update will be the last in which the catalog is in one file. Thereafter it will come in "parts." o - Dropped the IMEX address from Paul Chantler's list o - Added the price of QuickSHARE Canada's 1.2mb disks for mail o - Deleted ADVBAS9B from the QuickSHARE library entirely, per Tom Hanlin. Tom requests that all SysOps delete the ADVBAS library and offer the new PBCLONE library instead. I also added a quote from Tom to the end of the catalog ("News"). o - Made a note that for mail orders, checks should be made payable to Mike Welch (after receiving a check made out to "QuickSHARE Headquarters"). Sheeze! o - Added Tom Frye's Product Review: MS Game Shop (end of cat.) o - Added information about Crescent's new Graphics Library (eoc). o - Added product review for SoundBlaster Programmer's Dev Kit. o - POINT SHOULD REMOVE: ADVMENU from the library. Cat v3.00: 04/27/1991 - Major (MAJOR) update notes!!! ---------------------- o - Note that this release marks version *3* of the QuickSHARE catalog. After adding over 7 megs (from a selction of over 20 megs) this time, the catalog needs to reflect a major change. o - Points should remove ISSUE2 from the News section and replace it with the ISSUE2 now included. The other version was corrupt. This version also has a new READER.EXE. o - I am including ADVBAS9B.LZH which is an edited copy of a screen capture of a text (whew!) left by Tom Hanlin regarding ADVBAS (see last minor update). This file exists for point systems who support file requests, such that the caller will get SOMETHING when they request the file. o - Effective with this version, I will be including a utility I wrote (SCAT) which will globally scan the catalog for a text string. This is useful for folks who want to find a particular library and don't want to manually scan the entire catalog. It will be distributed as SCATVXXY, where XXY is the version. o - Added suggestions for future shareware/QB authors. o - Added review of "Learn Basic Now" o - Added Point #10, Majestic Royalty BBS o - Added the note about P.D.Q. *now* supporting floating point mathematics! (I'm excited...). o - Added note that I'm now a mainframer... (grin) o - Note that all update lists will come in an order first sorted by category, and then by file name. If it is easier for everyone to have a simple alphabetical list as in the last release of the update file, let me know. I can do it either way. o - PBCLON14 replaces PBCLON12, EZWINDO1 replaces EZWIN100, QBWIZ12 replaces QBWIZ11, QIKDRAW2 replaces QUIKDRAW, GRAFIX25 replaces GRAFIX11, GRAFWZ15 replaces GRAFWZ12, SWITCH23 replaces SWITCH21, QBFREE71 replaces BC7FREE, ISSUE2 replaces ISSUE2 (!), LITE400G replaces PPWN20, LIBRA13 replaces LIBRA, LIBKEY10 replaces FASTQLB, APB16 replaces APB, MUZAK2 replaces MUZAK, QBTREE51 replaces QBTREE45 (whew!). o - Total of 138 files consisting of 7,305,294 bytes. o - Total of 15 updates to previous libraries.
