Version 2.10 Beta (DPMI32/WIN32/OS2) |
This is just beta version of Necromancer's Dos Navigator, the
documentation is not fully finished yet, send all bugreports to
net.nec@usa.net, PeterVrn@yahoo.com,
and fido7.necromancers.dos.navigator
The Russian documentation is not ready yet too.
WIN32 and OS2 beta versions will be avalible soon.
|
Sources were completely rewritten, so they could be compiled with
Virtual Pascal v2.1 for different platforms
Win32 version now could work with LFN under Windows NT v4.0
OS2 version works with LFN under OS2 with HPFS file system
Old and slow INI engine had been replaced with New High perfomance
INI engine which supports comments, the new, commented ndn.ini file will be
ready soon
If you get an "Resource Access Error" message under Dos version lower
than 7.0, try to use /NOLFN switch to get NDN working
Regular expressions were added to file search, search and replace
in editor and in search in file viewer, it's also works in hgroups.ini,
file name entry, and file selection menu, but it must be put in / and /
Example : to find file, with the word test in its names - /.*test.*/
For details - see regexp.txt file.
File masks logic was changed : the search with file mask '*'
would find all files even with extension. To find files without
extension, you should use '*.' file mask. It works the same in
hgroups.ini file. It's possible to use masks like '*dn*.exe',
this way there would be found files containing in the name 'dn'
(except for the extension), and which have LAST extension '.exe'.
Now all fatal error messages will work, and NDN won't give a
fatal error when there's no disk in drive the name of which is stored in
desktop file
