A-Shell Development History

869.1

ATECFG.EXE 1.1.102 adds configuration tabs for printer and login information.

869.2

ATE (launched via TELNET.LIT) now supports auto-login, as well as several printer configuration options for auxiliary port printing. Note that during auxiliary port printing, the emulator captures the output coming from the server, and stores it in a temporary file on the workstation. It then uses the printer configuration information to create a temporary A-Shell/Windows printer init file, which it uses to print the temporary file.

Various other minor internal improvements to ATE, the most noticeable of which is that the cursor will not appear to disappear during rapid repetitive motion in VUE.

869.3

INFLD TYPE code |G now causes the final display of the field to be in the form of a sunken static text control (like DPRINT). In this mode, minus signs are inserted within the standard field area, rather than to the left of the field (eliminating a fair amount of confusion over how to size and position the field "window"). Note that |G will work in UNIX/LINUX provided ATE is present and you are using one of the GUI drivers (AM75G, AM65G).

869.4

INMEMO bug in which Latin 1 chars would not load into a memory-based memo has been fixed.

869.5

(Windows) External font leading now affects the size of controls as well as normal text. (For a given window size, increasing the leading decreases the size of the normal text font and the controls.) The up side of this is that it allows you to space out sunken "edit" controls in single-spaced screens. The downside is that since the proportional windows fonts do not resize themselves based on the window size or the control size you may need to increase the window size as you increase the leading, to provide enough space within controls for the text. (The controls themselves get resized along with the window, but the proportional fonts do not, so you must adjust the window size to be appropriate for the fonts.)

869.6

(UNIX) A bug relating to mouse cursor reporting sequences has been fixed in the am62c, am65, and am75 drivers.
