---------------------
FASTview Version 1.12
---------------------

Release of software on 26th March 1999


Bug Fixes:

> Error found when the program calculated the relative positions of all of the visible control boxes when either re-sizing the form or switching from top to side modes.
> Following viewing using the 'Active Movie Player' (sounds and movies), the handover of control back to the scroll mode kept failing, and only allowed one move either up or down the file menu, changed code to fix.
> If a 'Drive Error' - 'Drive Unavailable' error occurred, the system left you on the unavailable drive but showed the contents of the last valid drive.  The code will now default back to C:\ and show its contents should this happen.


Added:

> Added new box array to show how close the file being viewed is to the Maximum File Size, as the Maximum File Size is now unlimited.
> A new file type has been added to the text filter viewing which is '*.nfo' files.
> Code added so that when a file is deleted, the selected file will remain in the current position rather than being reset to the top of the list.


Changed:

> Maximum file size is now UNLIMITED, to allow for extremely large files.  BEWARE these can take a LONG time to load. (especially text files)
> Logic for blocking .exe and .com files through Maximum File Size changed, as file is not being loaded.  Now regardless of Maximum File Size, an application can be launched.
> Shareware version increased from 50k Maximum File Size to 100K.
> The box showing the size of the file being viewed has had its properties changed, so now it is possible to click in this box, but you cannot do anything.  This was necessary, as the text is now blue in colour so that it is clearer as to the size of the file when the box turns red.
> For the 'Application Launcher' the Maximum File Size and the Colour Bar have been disabled, as it seemed inappropriate that a Maximum File Size clamp was necessary.
> Re-organised the layout of the control boxes when the control bar is at the top to keep the two views consistent with each other.
> It was noticed that the bottom scroll bar in 'Image Mode' was not set correctly.  This has been lowered.


Updated:

> Both the FASTview help txt and the html files have been updated.


---------------------
FASTview Version 1.11
---------------------

Release of software on 27th February 1999


Bug Fixes:

> Error in code when writing some of the 'File Filters' to the registry.

> Extended functions being saved to the registry to reflect recent additions.

---------------------
FASTview Version 1.10
---------------------

Release of software on 6th February 1999


Bug Fixes:

> Error in code for holding tick box information for *.INI files on filter page.
> When the main form loaded, if an error occurred, it could cause a problem in loading form information.
> Some areas of the program did not pass control back to 'File List', which allows file scrolling.
> When editing a text file, after saving, the viewer would not load the new file selected.
> Refresh button did not reset the file directory back to the root as intended.
> When selecting 'Delete File' and then aborting by pressing the 'No' button was fixed, as it was not working.
> When printing, if the 'Cancel' button was pressed, this was not releasing common dialog control box routines properly.
> Problems with printing large text files, fixed by using different print method, which should be limitless.
> Printer error trapping was not functioning correctly, re-wrote entire error trapping routines.
> Zoom Scroll Bar code cleaned to stop numbers scrolling when not in image mode.


Cleaned Up:

> General code enhancements and improved on internal code comments.
> Split Registry Keys further from 2 to 3 areas, adding a 'Filter Key'.


Added:

> Added Active Movie Control.
> This control includes files with the extensions *.avi, *.mpg, *.mpeg, *.mov, *.wav, *.mid, *.qt and *.rmi.
> The 100%, 200%, 300% and 400% 'Quick Buttons' at the top of the main form now have some affect in Movie Mode.
> Also added *.jif and *.dib for images and *.log, *.frm, *.bas, *.vbp and *.lst for textual files.
> Put in 'Check Box' for viewing *.rtf files in either 'Rich Text File' format or normal text format.
> Altered 'Form Resize' code to allow for new layout of control boxes, and additions.
> Refresh button will now refresh ALL drives and not just the removable ones.


Changed:

> Visual layout of controls changed to include 'Check Box' for Rich Text File format.
> Increased maximum file size to 20 Meg, as avi's etc can tend to be quite large.


Updated:

> Both the FASTview help txt and the html files have been corrected and updated.
> Uninstall text files created and updated.
