This file contains CatView and FRDedit version information

1) Added configuration item [FINDREPLACE] to allow the user to choose whether to use the Find&Replace (CatFiRe) facility.

2) Configuration file is more flexible – a) comments allowed; b) quote surrounding the value is taken advantage of if used – else multiple spaces and tabs either side of value could compromise trimming process.

3) More messages clarified

4) Manipulate prices option updates/refreshes screen immediately when price manipulation complete

5) minor UI changes

6) Added configuration item [REPLACE_NONANGLO] to allow the user to choose whether to replace all non-Anglo character (IBM DOS character set) to Anglo equivalent. Only used if [FINDREPLACE]=YES

1) Added configuration item [CONFIRM_QUIT], which will bring up a dialog box after pressing 'ESC' at the catalog screen if set to "Y" or "YES". Default value is "NO".

2) Increased flexibility with configuration file values. Spaces and quotes (") before and after "=" in the configuration file can now be used. These characters will be trimmed (removed) when the values are read in.

3) Fixed potential bug that could occur if search-result set exceeded DOS memory limit and user attempted to print or save those results. This is no longer possible - although the results can still be viewed.

4) Clarified some messages

Added the ability to configure various items of functionality in

CatView by using a configuration file "catview.cfg".

1) 'catalogue directory' (directory where catalogue files are located) - same as catview directory

2) 'quotes directory' (directory where results are saved/appended) subdirectory of CatView "\quotes"

3) 'User Name' (printed in search results (hardcopy) and on various screens) - was hard-coded to indicate freeware status "Licensed User"

The configuration file is located in the catview directory (same as executable) and default values for backward compatibility are supplied.

first freeware release

1) Validity checking extended fully and comprehensively to check for all invalid Find and Replace words. (I.e. invalid characters (word delimiters), invalid length > 80. It should now be virtually impossible to create an invalid ".frd" file using FRDedit.

2) Corrected problem with columns scrolling sideways if Windows scrollbar setting is wider than approximately 18 (pixels) (This is not common but fixed)

3) Vertical scrollbar now scrolls dynamically (i.e. as you move the columns are scrolled - not just when release mouse button)

first freeware release (with CatView 3.02)
