Version 5.2.43 12/11/2000

1.      Quitting without logging off:

·        If in character mode it sends BYE and waits 4 seconds.

·        If the host hasn't logged us off, it gives a warning to the user and asks him to confirm he still wants to log off.

·        If not in character mode, gives the warning as above immediately, without sending BYE.

2.      VT mode: Esc F and Esc G to change character sets

3.      Shutdown socket and wait for close

4.      Set focus after file transfer

5.      Fix for legacy dll buttons in custom menu

Version 5.2.42 11/13/2000

1.      Add a new option to the Special configuration so that we will delay when a Scale return the Weight, this is needed for some SMG users that want to use MiniSoft as a scale station

2.      New script command to set the NumLock key.

NUMLOCK {ON |OFF} where value can be ON or OFF

ON  = Number pad to enter the Numerical values

OFF = Number pad to do the special function of arrow key, Page up, home etc.

3.      Change the CANCEL button on the file transfer to not be the Hot key when an Enter key was pressed. To cancel the file transfer you must use the Mouse or press the Tab key then the Enter key.

4.      When RETURN=ENTER was set in the Special Configuration, then a message was sent to display in place of the User Key (F1-F8) a CR should clear the message and redisplay the User Keys, that did not work. This has been fixed.

Version 5.2.41 10/16/2000

1.      Reshow screen when configuration file is loaded to title field to be updated.

2.      Add new script command BLOCK_CURSOR  <value> where value can be ON or OFF

<ESC>*d0Q for Underline Cursor

<ESC>*d1Q for Block Cursor

4.      Fix File transfer program to handle User labels correctly. All users labels should be 256 bytes. We were truncating to the length of the label data instead of staying 256 bytes where the record length of the data was less than 256 bytes.  New ws92link version is: Build 2.0.5.5 when run as;  :run ws92link.pub.sys;parm=1

5.      Updated the SetupSGA.s92 script to ask and set the cursor to either Block or Underline

2.      Option to interpret an event trace from within the debug menu

3.    When <Esc *dR> (turn off cursor) is received, we wait 1 second for keyboard input before reading the comms. This is to allow SGA's scale input device to complete writing through the keyboard, since apparently their host software does not wait and they do not want to modify it.

Version 5.2.38 8/24/2000 (Not released internal testing only)

1.      Fixes for DDE Initiate that was broken in 5.2.37.

Version 5.2.37 8/15/2000

Version 5.2.30 2/23/2000

1.      Added the ability to have a special menu that will replace the button bar used in earlier Versions.

·        The Bar Menu had a switch called ‘Enable Short Cut Button’ that allowed for an INI file that used a file called MS92b32.INI. This file had the ability to configure a Menu of Buttons that would display to one of the sides of the Monitor’s Screen when the mouse was moved to that side and the Right mouse button was pressed. The problem with this implementation was that only the first Session could use the Button Menu in a multi Session environment.

The following example would generate a Custom Menu that look like this:

                                    Custom

Clear

Go To Background

Logon Script

&Clear=DISPLAY "^[H^[J""

Go To &Background=BACKGROUND

&Logon Script=LOGON.S92

·        In addition to the file described above the following commands have been added to the MiniSoft scripting language. 

MAINMENU [title]

Adds a new option to the main menu bar. Only one option can be added.  If the command is executed again, it will over-write the previous menu title. This would show on the Menu bar instead of the word Custom.

SUBMENU [title]

Adds a sub-menu option under the heading specified under MAINMENU. Up to 24 may be added.

ONMENU [number] [Action]

Specifies the action to take when sub-menu [number] is selected.

Any letter proceeded by an ampersand (&) will cause that letter to be displayed with an underline.

The following example would generate a Custom Menu that look like this:

Tasks

Clear

Go To Background

Logon Script

MAINMENU Tas&ks

SUBMENU &Clear

SUBMENU Go To &Background

SUBMENU &Logon Script

ONMENU 1 DISPLAY "^[H^[J""

ONMENU 2 BACKGROUND

ONMENU 3 LOHON.S92

  Break key now operates faster to stop incoming characters.

Version 5.2.29 1/11/2000

4.      New script commands

BARS {ON, OFF}                                                           to show button bars

CENTER {ON, OFF}                                                      to center screen or Left Justify

SCROLLBAR {ALWAYS, UNMAXED, NEVER}      to set right scroll bar

PRINTBY {WINDOWS, PASSTHRU}                         to set the print driver

PRINTERSEL {DEFAULT, FIRST, EVERY}               to set what printer to use

CCONNECT [PORTNO]                                                to do serial connect

OCONNECT                                                                    to set the connection to offline

BAUD [BAUDRATE]                                                     to set the Baud rate for serial or

Serial connection the rates are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,19200

CAPS (ON, OFF)                                                            to set Caps Lock on or off

·        Support over 3000 byte records.

·        Support over 50000 record count.

·        Generates a Log file on the HP3000 when configured for debug dialogists. 

To test for the correct build: run ws92link; parm=1

To create a log file on the HP3000 to record what the transfer is doing:

Run ws92link; info="filename"

Version 5.2.28 12/17/99

1.      Change the reading of Comm ports for current status, to initialize the setting to what is needed.

This was a fix to allow connection to a MICA Six-Port Modules of CICCO. The redirector was not initializing the settings. In addition to the above the Telnet Port needs to be set to 6000 or above before binary transfers can be used with the CISCO redirector.

2.      Not to report an error on SetCommState(), even if it apparently failed, if error returned is zero.

1.      Fixed problem inserting row after Memory Lock has been set.

Version 5.2.20 9/3/99

1.      New script functions were added to report the row and column of the cursor. Detailed use of the new functions follows.

·        VARGET COLUMN

The VARGET COLUMN function updated the variable call COLUMN with the number of the current column in display memory (as opposed to VARGET SCOLUMN, which returns the number of the current column relative to the screen) where the cursor is located. The column location is the zero-relative (the first column is column 0).

The result of the following example, displays the current display column of the cursor

VARGET COLUMN

DISPLAY COLUMN

VARGET COLUMN can be used as an integer value in arithmetic operations:

VARGET COLUMN

LET V1 = COLUMN + 4

·        VARGET SCOLUMN

The VARGET SCOLUMN function updates the variable call SCOLUMN with the number of the current column relative to the WS92 screen (as opposed to VARGET COLUMN, which returns the number of the current column in display memory) where the cursor is located. The column location is the zero-relative (the first column is column 0).

The result of the following example, is the display of the current screen column of the cursor

VARGET SCOLUMN

DISPLAY SCOLUMN

VARGET SCOLUMN can be used as an integer value in arithmetic operations:

VARGET SCOLUMN

LET V1 = SCOLUMN + 4

·        VARGET ROW

The VARGET ROW function updates the variable called ROW with the number of the current row (where the cursor is) in display memory (as opposed to VARGET SROW, which updates with the number of the current row on the screen). The row location returned is zero-relative (the first row is the 0th row).

The result of the following example is the display of the current row of the cursor

VARGET ROW

DISPLAY ROW

VARGET ROW can be used as an integer value in arithmetic operations:

VARGET ROW

LET V1 = ROW + 4

·        VARGET SROW

The VARGET SROW function updates the variable called SROW with the number of the current row relative to the WS92 screen (as opposed to VERGET ROW, which returns the number of the current row in display memory) The number returned is the zero-relative (the first row is the 0th row).

The result of the following example is the display of the screen row of the cursor.

VARGET SROW

DISPLAY SROW

VARGET SROW can be used as an integer value in arithmetic operations:

VARGET SROW

LET V1 = SROW + 4
