multi/!Multishow/Docs/History

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

HISTORY
-------

Here is another one of those blindingly dull history files which chronical
how the program go to be this way.

Vsn 1.46 - Still within a wimpslot of 28k, I've now included a bit of fun
           which I'm not going to tell you about until 1.50 as it will take
           me a bit of time to code it fully.

Vsn 1.45 - Finally sorted out a bug in the draw renderer. It's a simple one
           - I had forgotten to insert a goto statement in the shower
           routine. Sorted out a problem with a max of 77 files in the
           scrap directory by deleteing the files created as the program
           goes along.

Vsn 1.44 - Added a bit of code so that the reload function would work.

Vsn 1.42 - Rewrote a pile of the display code and altered the !Run file so
           that the program would work!. Altered a few of the windows, but
           not so that you would really notice.

Vsn 1.41 - Corrected a bug found in v1.40. Reworked the loader so that it
           would happily accept gif files (filetype 1685 (dec)).

Vsn 1.40 - Re-introduced a gif renderer (Gif2RPC). Wrote code to include
           it, rewrote the loader, rewrote the !run file and added code for
           the main info window. Gifs reintroduced as I needed to see them
                                                       
Vsn 1.33b- Very small bug fix, so small, it did not deserve a new number!

Vsn 1.33 - Increased the number of files to 500, fixed a small bug in the 
           Draw file renderer (1 in 100 files crashed).

Vsn 1.31 - Fixed a huge problem with rendering Draw files (they didn't)!

Vsn 1.30 - Altered the code so the timer worked a bit better.

Vsn 1.28 - Re-wrote half the linking code as it was too long and suffered
           from Micro$ad syndrome (code bloat). Had to increase the wimpslot
           to 32k from 28k in Vsn 1.27

Vsn 1.27 - Added code so that the screen looked nicer. Redesigned the main
           window.

Vsn 1.25 - Added a save & load routine for favourite files, but scrapped it
           when I found it causing havoc with the loader.

Vsn 1.23 - Fixed bugs in the timer, sprite and draw handlers. Fiddled with
           the code so that the program was smaller (now needs 28k wimp
           slot). Did away with a GIF converter (using Gif2Sprite) as it was 
           causing more problems than it was worth - I must find a decent
           way of converting (or rendering) a GIF file. Altered a couple of
           null events.

Vsn 1.22 - Fixed a window handler routine which failed once out of four runs

Vsn 1.21 - Added code for the Instruction, History and Website buttons and
           procedures. Altered the loading system.

Vsn 1.20 - Reworked all the rendering routines into one routine and also the
           filetype choosers and main loop routines into one routine each.
           Boy, did it speed up the program!!!.

Vsn 1.15 - Fixed a multitude of bugs from 1.13. The jpeg renderer worked now.

Vsn 1.13 - Rewrote part of the jpeg and sprite routines to speed them up. Also
           attempted to use the dynamic areas, but dropped it as soon as it
           was obvious it wasn't worth the hassle!. Jigged the windows a bit.

Vsn 1.10 - Introduced a proc so the window was always the correct size.

Vsn 1.08 - First compiled version which worked!. The timer didn't work, but
           then it still didn't until 1.21!!!!

Vsn 1.04 - The Draw and Sprite modules are now working, but for some reason,
           would only work if the file was <32k. Fixed this problem.

Vsn 1.02 - Decided that the program should include Draw files, so bunged in
           the relevant code. The program compiled and prompty crashed when I
           tried to load in a file!

Vsn 1.00 - Needed a program to display jpegs and sprites from a multitude of
           directories. Bingo - another job for Wonder WimpBasic!!!!
