1763.2.1

Fix

XTREE: Multiple ListX / CellListX definitions were causing the list translation to fail. Problem introduced between 1756.6 and 1757.0.

1763.2.2

Fix

INPUT CSV: when the LDF or locale used the same character for the decimal point as for CSV delimiters (i.e. comma), inputting a pair of values like "1,2" into numeric variables was setting the first numeric variable to 1 and 2 tenths rather than just 1. Problem introduced in 1758.2

1763.1

Fix

Close race condition loopholes on startup relating to the first job in and last job out creating/destroying the jobtbl.sys and qflock.sys files. In rare cases this was resulting in a failed launch becoming a zombie.

1763.1.1

EIR

Refinement to the new XTREE RGB Header options added in 1763.0.

1763.1.2

Fix

ISAM-A: close an obscure race condition loophole which may have resulted in a bogus error 231, file index needs rebuilding.

1763.1.3

Fix

TAB() refinement: tab(-1,5) and tab(-1,6) (move one column left or right) now adjusts internal output position so that a subsequent tab(N) outputs the correct number of spaces to arrive at horizontal position N. This issue mainly occurs in progress or lifesign displays.

1763.1.4

Fix

Error trapping: close a loophole resulting in an illegal syntax error triggered by certain combinations of nested error trapping.

1763.0.1

New

New XTREE RGB Header options add support for overriding row/column header color attributes.

1763.0.2

EIR

Terminal emulation enhancement: the various blinking TAB(-1,x) attributes are now (some might say "finally?") supported in A-Shell/Windows and ATE.
