OSPlus / News: Recent posts

I've dug back into the OSPlus Text Editor source code and worked on various improvements, mostly back-end (eg, the makefile system) or with the converter system. I plan to release it tomorrow or fairly soon in the new year. Keep an eye out for it!

I will soon release OSPlus Text Editor 2.1, which includes Win32 support (which can be compiled with Borland C++Builder (or the free tools available from Borland) and MSVC). Changes since 2.0:

02/10/2001: Attempted to use new Win32 Turbo Vision. There are some bugs which will be fixed in
the next version of TV, so I will wait. (orudge)
12/10/2001: Improved build structure (obj/platform, bin/platform dirs, etc) (orudge)
12/10/2001: Improved converter error reporting (orudge)

I have released version 1.4 of the Disk Imager. This includes a MAJOR bugfix and several other updates, including:

- Stupid bug in READ.CPP fixed that rendered Disk Imager 1.3 semi-useless

- Moved QuickMessage class into seperate CPP file

- Added more progress info and progress bar

- Fixed F2/F3 keyboard shortcuts

Go to the Files section to download it.

I've got OSPlus Disk Imager 1.4 ready, and will upload it soon. This version features the following changes:

- Big bug in version 1.3 fixed
- Moved QuickMessage class into seperate CPP file
- Added more progress info and progress bar
- Fixed F2/F3 keyboard shortcuts

It turns out there is a big bug with the updates I made to the disk reading code in version 1.3 of the Disk Imager (I'm not sure how I let it slip past) so if you are having problems with it, download OSPlus Disk Imager 1.2 and use that instead. I'll release a fix very soon.

I have released OSPlus Disk Imager 1.3. This doesn't contain any major changes, but contains several "under-the-hood" changes that should make it more stable.

I have released version 1.2 of the OSPlus Disk Imager. This includes Browse dialogs to allow you to easily find the image you want to write (or choose the location you want to write the image to).

I've uploaded the source code to OSPlus Text Editor 2.0 to CVS. The build process is much better and various features are improved. Go to CVS to download the source code, or the Files section to download binaries.
