---- Version History: 1.0 1985-11-01 not released to the public restored all files ignoring the filespec 2.0 1986-12-25 /P /Q /S options. allowed you to select files to be restored. 3.0 1987-01-28 released to Charware subscribers fixed bug when restore had to handle 10 or more diskettes. 4.0 1987-03-05 fixed bug RESTORE A: C:*.* /S in root directory did not work. was treated as RESTORE A: C:\\*.* /S instead of C:\*.* /S fixed bug. Originally all disks in the backup set were checked to makes sure they were created on the same day to make sure they were part of the same set. Because backups can be created with the /A option, it is possible each diskette in the set is part of a different set. Thus the check was removed. 4.1 1987-05-08 version number now prints as part of the "Screwed up" message RESTORE.TXT documention separated from ASM source code change mailing address 4.2 1987-07-09 beeps when wants disk 4.3 1988-04-09 change of mailing address in banner 4.4 1988-12-24 change of mailing address in banner 5.0 1989-03-03 very limited distribution added support for DOS 3.3 through DOS 4.01 this was a major rewrite that took many times longer to write than the original. For this reason Version 5.0 is not Charware, but rather ShareWare. 5.1 1989-05-24 more friendly, simpler, less technical error messages. fancier prompts. tidier source code. bug fixed that restored a file fragment when you inserted the wrong diskette. avoid reprompting entire prompt when input bad. Abort Retry Ignore keystrokes no longer echo. / options no longer picky about leading space. warning message if source not A: or B: warning message if target not C: through G: fancier banner, with pause 5.2 1989-07-26 add extra blank line ahead of insert disk prompt extra information on site licenses separate registering text. now assembled with Optasm 5.3 1990-02-05 there are bugs in DOS 2.0 and 2.1 that can interfere with Restore. changes to Default_Subdir now account for the DOS bug when DOS gives mixed upper and lower case for the current directory and when DOS sometimes give directory names that are too long. 5.4 1990-08-03 better explanation of registration in banner. 5.5 1990-10-13 new documentation warning that RESTORE cannot restore to a different directory. new docs on how to handle problem of a restoring a backup when you don't know what is on it. better heading in the docs now works on LANS, no more IOCTL calls on hard drives. ^ now accepted as valid character in a filename. You can now assemble RESTORE in a way that makes it more suitable as an install program for multi-disk software packages. Some versions of DOS and some cachers have a bug that they fail to notice when you change the diskette in a floppy drive and thus give the program data from the previous diskette instead of the current one. To bypass this bug I added a disk reset just prior to each diskette swap. The symptom is that the program claims diskette 1 is in the drive, and demands diskette 2, when in fact you have already inserted diskette 2. 5.6 1992-02-06 notes that works on DOS 5.0 6.0 1993-06-17 notes on DOS 5 and DOS 6 use. new address and phone number. new information on site licensing. 6.1 1996 10-29 embed Quathiaski address notes on DOS 7.0. 6.2 1998-11-08 embed Barker address 6.3 2007-07-21 now free 6.4 2009-03-09 bundled with ANT build script. -30-
