Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: FM/2 3.15 Released

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Gregg Young <ygkDESPAM at DESPAMqwest.net>

I have just uploaded FM/2 3.15 to ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/fm2 
(moving to ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/fm2) and to hobbes 
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?dir=/pub/incoming&sort=date moving 
to http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?sh=1&dir=//pub/os2/util/browser

Changes are listed below:

o Added the option to turn write verify off on a per drive basis; it is 
turned off on nonfloppy
  removables by default to address reports of hangs with FAT32 usb drives 
and of FAT USB
  drives behaving as read only devices. Ticket 318/323 (Gregg)
  o Seek and scan can now be started from the drives or directories context 
menus. Doing so
  will use the drive/directory as the root for the search. Ticket 167 (Gregg)
  o Added "DataBar" menu item to utilities menu. Ticket 280 (Gregg)
  o Eliminated the need for archiver list to have start and end list 
strings; this allows it to
  work with tar for example. Ticket 284 (John)
  o Add setup for using latest tar including for .tar.gz and .tar.bz files 
(gzip and/or bzip must
  also be in your path) to archiver.tmp (John)
  o Added check for protectonly systems will gray out dos/win command line 
menu items and causes
  Dos/Win executables to be opened in a viewer since they will fail anyway. 
Ticket 325 (Gregg)
  o Added the option to rescan the drive tree on media eject (see scanning 
page of config notebook)
  Ticket 48 (Gregg)
  o Added Refresh removable media item to tree container menus Ticket 54 
(Gregg)
  o Grayed out partition tool menu item where the tool is not avalable in 
the path; removed partition
  submenu default selection. Ticket 36 (Gregg)
  o Added option to recursively scan selected drives at startup Ticket 322 
(Gregg)
  o Moved toggle word wrap in the MLE editor to "View" menu from a "Config" 
submenu Ticket 160
  (Gregg)
  o Added option to create extract directory from archive name Ticket 22 
(Gregg)
  o Added drop help to the tree container; fixed drop help to show the 
correct action on DO_DEFAULT
  Ticket 320, 324
  o Fixed seek and scan drive selection code so nonexistant drives aren't 
selected Ticket 301, 303
  (Gregg)
  o Several interface appearence/behavior issues were addressed Ticket 283, 
305, 306, 311, 312
  313, 316, 321, 328, 329, 330, 332 (Gregg)
  o Fixed traps associated with deleting directories; closing a container 
after its
  associated drive had been ejected and trying to execute a dll. Ticket 
304, 317, 331 (Gregg)
  o Added exceptq and process dump functionality to simplify defect reporting
  Ticket 26, 307 (Steven)

Thanks

Gregg
