VERSION DESCRIPTION ======= ==================================================================== 1.2 Enhancement: Major enhancement in file I/O speed. Multibyte "burst" mode now utilized (CIO modes 7 and 11) with a 1KB buffer. Previously, buffering was also used, but only between read and writes. Each read to buffer and write from buffer phase still used single byte get and put routines. Enhancement: Another small enhancement is that now the program notifies the user of the size of the input file. This is handy while AAC is processing and updating how much is completed so far. Note that file size is accurate to within a Kilobyte. Full byte level accuracy is available from SDX, but in the interest of simplifying programming, it was decided getting within a KB was sufficient. Please also note that XIO 39, which is used to get the file size, does not seem to be supported by the current (as of this writing) implementation of the PCLink server provided by the Altirra Atari emulator. This means input file size feature may not work on the PCL: device under Altirra. AAC traps the error generated (146) when trying to use it on such a device, and will simply skip any attempt to ascertain or use such info. In the event that XIO 39 capability ever gets implemented in the Altirra PCLink server, AAC will use the capability. 1.1 Bug fix: Program now works properly after running Sparta Comander. Thanks to drac030 for helping to pinpoint the issue to memory location $B7 having garbage in it. Action! uses this location to store which channel is used for output routines such as PutE, which do not specify a channel to use. Misc: Added a notice that the program is free software licensed under the GPL3 in the MAN file as well as the program title screen. Previously this notice was only included in the source code. 1.0 Initial public release.
