A-Shell Development History

912.0.1

(ATE) ATE Reverse Channel protocol optimized for responsiveness on Linux and AIX hosts.

912.0.2

(Windows/ATE) Fix two problems in the AUI,"EVENTWAIT" class:

Sometimes it would leave A-Shell with one or more queued up characters in the input buffer, or in a state where every keystroke was doubled.
It was also leaving the focus on a button after exiting.

912.0.3

We now keep track of the minimum amount of free memory. SYSTAT.LIT 3.0(152) can display this information (in place of the total allocated memory) using the /M switch. This can be useful to determining if your memory partition size is excessive. SYSTAT/W now also totals the memory column, for convenience in estimating total memory usage.

Note that SYSTAT shows the memory allocated by each user, including dynamic allocations for programs, sorting, etc. However, it does not include the memory assigned by the OS to the process for the stack and runtime workarea for the ashell executable or any shells. This may help explain the discrepancy between the memory usage shown in some OS utilities (such as ps or top) and that shown in SYSTAT.LIT

912.0.4

Tracing improvements: SET.LIT 1.2(143) now supports SET TRACE ATE ON/OFF (TRACE=ATE) and SET TRACE SOCKS ON/OFF (TRACE=SOCKS). The former shows ATE-specific operations from the server perspective (must less verbose than TRACE=GUI). The latter shows TCP socket operations (such as TCPX.SBR or within ATE).

912.0.5

File not found errors were being reported as error 16 (file specification error) rather than 17 (file not found).
