New in DH-Grep-PM Version 1.07

Fixed logic bug that caused DH-Grep-PM to abort if the 'Browse' button was pressed when the search path was invalid. The search path is now checked prior to starting the 'Browse'.

Fixed logic bug that did not allow search to start when the 'Start' button on the 'Search Parameters' dialog box was pressed and the 'Search Pattern' line was empty, but the files only option was also selected.

Added 'Hard code word wrap' menu item under "File" on the menubar. This option adds CR-LF pairs to each line in the display window to make the current word wrap permanent. This should make it easier to print the search results.

New in DH-Grep-PM Version 1.06

Fixed bug that prevented the font selection made from the menu from being saved as the new default font.

Added support for saving drag & drop color and font changes made to the information area below the main window. This should make DH-Grep-PM easier to use for OS/2 users with vision problems.

New in DH-Grep-PM Version 1.05

Added 'Open Enter Search Parameters Immediately' option under 'Display'. This option causes the 'Enter Search Parameters' window to open when DH-Grep-PM is loaded.

Added support for saving drag & drop color and font changes made to the menubar. This should make DH-Grep-PM easier to use for OS/2 users with vision problems.

Made some minor changes to the online help and made a version of the online help with larger type available. The user will be prompted by the installation routine as to which version of the help file will be used. This should make DH-Grep-PM easier to use for OS/2 users with vision problems.

New in DH-Grep-PM Version 1.04

Fixed a problem with the temporary file used to store the search results. Previous versions did not delete the temporary file if the user did not exit the program by using the "Exit" selection on the menu bar.

New in DH-Grep-PM Version 1.03

Fixed problem with the Copy function that caused the program to abort when the user tried to copy more than 64KB to the clipboard.

Added an accelerator key combination (Alt+Z) to open the Search Parameter dialog.

Increased the amount of data that could be posted to the results window. Testing indicates that the size of the results can now be least one megabyte. The results window is an MultiLine Editor window and it appears to have a problem handling large amounts of data. I have been able to display a results file that was over 3 megabytes, but the failure point may be configuration dependant. The MultiLine Editor is part of the IBM Open Class Library.

If DH-Grep-PM crashes due to too much data, the search results will still be available in the temporary file created by the program. This file will be in the working directory or the TMP directory set in your config.sys file.

New in DH-Grep-PM Version 1.02

This release changed the name of a temporary file from a hard coded name to one assigned by a system function. This allows more than one copy of DH-Grep-PM to be run from the same working directory.

A change was also made to the browse function used to select a search path. This change replaced the standard File Dialog to a custom dialog that does not allow the user to enter a file name. This change only modifies the user interface and is cosmetic in nature.

The saved option settings now include the last used path for saving search results or loading previous results. The path information is only saved when the user selects the save option settings function.

New in DH-Grep-PM Version 1.01

This release was made to correct a bug in the routine that searches the drive for files. This problem would only occur when the search was started from the root directory of drives that have a large number of files and subdirectories. The program would run out of search handles before all of the drive had been searched. This was a silent error, the user would not be aware of the problem unless he or she knew that there were more files that matched the search criteria. Now all of the search configuration options are saved. The clear display option was also added to the saved settings.

An indicator was added to the version number in the title bar to identify which CPU version is being used.

1.01 regular version 1.01 -4 486 CPU version 1.01 -5 pentium/586 version 1.01 -s shareware version
