WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 6.1 --------------------------------------------------------- (NOTE: some features from the ill-fated 6.5 are included here) KEY: L = Affects LOGGER S = Affects SETUP D = Affects LOGDATE V = Version 6.5 feature * = Uses command line parameter x = Extra Note (see end of file) ("x" is replaced by a number) (NOTE: SETUP61.EXE is actually a modified version of SETUP65.EXE, the one that was going to be included in version 6.5. Since it didn't incorporate any new features except command-line parameters, just a bunch of modifications, and it was the only part of 6.5 finished, I did some work on it and included it here) LSV þ Screen saver keeps the original "startup" screen LSDV1* þ Black and white mode added for monochrome moniters LS* þ Screen saver can be disabled LSV* þ Title screen can be skipped LS2 þ Screen saver works in EGA/VGA "extended line" modes SV3* þ Screen blanker can be activated at different times SV* þ Sound on screen blanker can be turned on SV þ Screen blanker sound has been changed from "beep" to "chirp" LS þ Data files use a special "scrambling" method SV þ Main menu doesn't redraw every time you hit a wrong key LSV þ Data files are no longer left with regular attributes LSD45 þ Default colors are changed to something easier on the eyes LSV þ Title screen now shows a copyright notice SV6 þ Almost all screen displaying is done through a "Fast Print" routine Extra Notes--- 1) To get everything out as quick as possible, LOGDATE only runs in black and white mode 2) Although the screen saver will save extended-line screens, the programs themselves only work in 25 lines 3) Time can only be specified in minutes, from 1 to 60 4) Same as note 1 5) The new colors are bright-white on brown 6) LOGGER61 also incorporates this feature, put only on the title screen This list may not be complete. However, it does cover most of the new features. Because I wanted to get everything released as soon as possible, I didn't add any features to LOGDATE. I did change it to purely black and white mode so it could be run on any moniter.
