              TD 1.1 UPGRADE PROCEDURE AND FEATURES


For a $5 upgrade fee, registered users of TD can obtain the 1.1
version and the new tape tutorial.  This "Talk Me Through" tutorial
was developed by Phil Scovell (Denver, Colorado) and is provided
under a special arrangement with Access Success.

To upgrade your system to TD 1.1, simply replace the previous
TD.EXE file with the new one.  You can do this by running the
install procedure from a floppy disk or temporary directory on your
hard disk which contains the new version.  Unlike the previous
version, this procedure now copies the documentation as well as
executable files into your program directory.  Alternatively, you
can use the DOS copy command.  You cannot, however, use the copy
command within the previous version of TD, since this would attempt
to overwrite the TD.EXE file that is currently executing.  As with
any upgrade procedure, it is best to make a backup just in case you
need to restore the previous version.


The following is a list of features new or modified in TD 1.1: 

The default index order is now used whenever TD displays a new
directory.  This order is remembered from one TD session to
another.  Thus, for example, you could always have directories
presented in descending order by the time and date a file was last
updated.  To identify the current order, press the ? key in
directory mode.

As before, the > and < keys tag or untag the current file.  Now,
however, they automatically go to the next file.  This is a quicker
way to selectively tag files in a directory.

Three new commands provide quicker ways of performing common
directory changes.  The . command, as before, redisplays the
current directory, reading information from disk into memory.  This
is useful when you've added, modified, or deleted files in the
current directory in a way that TD doesn't know about--e.g., by
using the / shell command and invoking an external program.  The ,
command next to it goes to the parent directory, if any.  This is
useful if you went to a child directory by other than the Zoom
command and then you want to go to the parent directory (since Quit
will not do this in this case).  The : command allows you to select
a drive to go to.  The \ command goes to the root directory of the
current drive.

As before, the T command says when a file was last updated.  A new
command, Alt-T, displays the current time according to the system
clock.

The Archive command now lets you easily specify an archive name
similar to the current file name.  By leaving the name blank, the
base name of the current file will be used with a .ZIP extension. 
For example, JAMAL.TXT would be archived to a file called
JAMAL.ZIP.  After specifying the name of the archive, a new prompt
asks whether to delete after archiving.  If yes, the current
directory is automatically re-displayed and a jump is issued to the
archive file (if in the current directory).

All new commands are available on the directory mode menu, invoked
with the Alt-F1 or Alt-H keys.

In view mode, the U and L commands define the upper and lower lines
of a block to copy, as before.  Now, however, TD pays attention to
the cursor position on the line.  It marks the beginning of the
block on the upper line and the end of the block on the lower line. 
Another change is that the copied block will preserve the original
formatting better by replacing "soft carriage returns" with nothing
rather than "hard carriage returns."  This allows wrapping to be
done more smoothly when the note file is loaded into a word
processor.

The search commands in view mode (Forward, Reverse, and Again) now
place the cursor at the beginning of the search string when found,
rather than at the beginning of the line.  As before, the Home and
End keys go to the beginning and end of the line, respectively.  In
addition, Control-Home now goes to the beginning of the first line
on the screen and Control-End goes to the end of the last.

The index file is now TD.CDX rather than TD.CMX and the file of
attached descriptions is TD.DBV rather than TD.DBT.  These file
formats are compressed and more efficient.  For example, my TD.DBV
file is a third the size of the previous TD.DBT file.  Conversion
to these new formats occurs automatically when the old formats are
detected.  It may take a few minutes.
