Version 1.3a

    The biggest change is my address.  See Changes file for details.

    There are a few bug fixes, and a couple of enhancements in this
    version.  If you used F2 to save changes in the previous versions,
    when you hit ESC to exit it would issue a warning that the changes
    were about to be lost, this has been corrected.

    AUTOCON will now attempt to detect and restore the EGA/VGA (45/50)
    small character mode upon exit.

    After updating the configuration with 1.3a, when AUTOCON is started
    in the interactive mode, it will default to the configuration used
    in the last update.

    On the command line if you type <AUTOCON /?> the name of the current
    configuration will be displayed (Note: you must have saved a
    configuration with V1.3a first).

    If you are in the full screen entry mode, hitting <F7> will update
    the Autoexec and Config fields in the current record from the
    current AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.  This saves going into
    each of the two fields and doing a <F5> <^KR> <AltX>.

    From the command line, typing AUTOCON followed by a / and the name
    of a configuration (e.g. <AUTOCON /NoTSRs>) will cause that
    configuration to have it's Autoexec and Config fields updated from
    the current AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

    There was a bug in V1.3 that caused AUTOCON to have a problem with
    reading files that were not terminated with ^Z.  If you got an
    "Edit Buffer Full" message when you tried to edit a field that you
    know wasn't too big, then you were bitten by this bug.  This is
    fixed in 1.3a.

    If you were in one of the fields and issued an <^KW> (block save)
    and didn't have a marked block, you were not given an error message
    in previous versions.  This is fixed in 1.3a.

    The help screen displayed in a color change window was the one for
    changing the editor keystrokes. This is fixed in 1.3a.

Version 1.3

    There are several changes in this version.  If you have added
    several extra configurations that you no longer need, the <CtrlF3>
    key will delete the current configuration (you can't delete record
    one, nor can you go below five records).

    You can change the keystrokes used by the built in editor.  Hitting
    the <F6> key in the main menu will pop up a key editor which will
    allow changing the actions of all of the control keys used in the
    editor.

    You can change the colors used by AUTOCON.  Hitting the <Alt> key in
    combination with the function keys will allow customization of most
    of the colors.  The use of each key is detailed in the pop-up help.

    The DAT file format for 1.3 is quite different than the one for 1.2.
    The white space has been eliminated, and as a consequence it is
    significantly smaller (mine are about 1/4 the previous size). The
    first time you run 1.3 it will change the format, and the DAT file
    will no longer be compatible with 1.2.  You may want to make a copy
    of AUTOCON.DAT (just to be on the safe side) before running 1.3.


Version 1.2d keeps current file attributes

    A request was made to update the Autoexec and Config files, but to
    not change their current attributes (system, read only, hidden,
    etc.).  Therefore AUTOCON now reads the current file attributes of
    Autoexec.Bat and Config.Sys before updating them, and restores the
    attributes after the update.


Version 1.2c adds a boot type select.

    Some computers have trouble with the warm boot that AUTOCON was
    originally configured with.  These seem to mainly be machines with
    large hard disks, and a large hard disk manager.  The <F5> key now
    allows you to change the boot type from warm to cold to get around
    this problem.


Version 1.2a is a bug fix.

    AUTOCON didn't recognize more than three configurations from the
    command line.


Version 1.2 is a bug fix.

    When you attempted to read in your old configuration files to the
    AUTOEXEC and CONFIG fields, it always defaulted to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
    an C:\CONFIG.SYS no matter what files you had selected.  The read
    file option now works correctly.


Version 1.1 charges are as follows.

  1. AUTOCON now does a Reboot when a reconfiguration is done from the
     command line.

  2. AUTOCON now handles up to 50 configurations (originally only 5).

  3. You can now read any file into an AUTOEXEC or CONFIG edit field
     (allows you to use your old configurations).

  4. The On-line Help has been updated/enhanced.

  5. The Doc file has been enhanced (left out a few things the first
     time).

  6. Allows you the choice of a Reboot when reconfiguring in the data
     entry mode.

  7. Hopefully a better choice of colors on an LCD screen.  If you have
     an LCD, you need to have your mode set to BW80 (2).
