This archive contains a patch to update ReOrg V3.1 to V3.11.
Only one file of the ReOrg V3.1 distribution is affected: the
program file `ReOrg'.
To apply the patch:
- Assign `ReOrg' to the directory where your ReOrg program
file is located (e.g. if it is in `Work:Utilities' enter
the Shell command `assign ReOrg: Work:Utilities').
(This assign is only needed temporarily to apply the patch.
You need NOT put it in your user-startup.)
- `CD' to the directory that contains the patch file and
enter `execute patch.exec'.
In ReOrg V3.11 several bugs that showed up after the release of V3.1
have been fixed:
- If the user moved an online-help file `ReOrg_<language>.guide'
to a different location than `PROGDIR:help/<language>' ReOrg
would only find it if the directory `PROGDIR:help/<language>'
_exists_.
In V3.11 you can place ReOrg's online-help file either in
`PROGDIR:help/<language>' or in any directory listed in your
ENV:AmigaGuide/Path variable.
In the latter case the directory `PROGDIR:help/<language>'
need not exist.
- Sometimes ReOrg V3.1 allocated more memory than it needed - fixed
in V3.11.
- For FFS->OFS conversions ReOrg V3.1 sometimes displayed a
`Disk full' error message even if the output disk was not
full - fixed in V3.11.
- If the boot disk (or any other disk with open FileLocks on
it) was optimized in Two-Disk-Mode ReOrg V3.1 sometimes treated
those FileLocks incorrectly. This could cause different AmigaDOS
problems like checksum errors until the next reboot - fixed
in V3.11.
- If graphical sector display was switched off and the target
disk used DCFS format ReOrg V3.1 could cause Enforcer hits and
sometimes even system crashes - fixed in V3.11.
This patch fixes ALL KNOWN bugs in ReOrg. If you find any further
bugs in ReOrg, please report them to me ! Remember: Bugs that are
not reported will probably not get fixed.
My thanks go to SAS Institute for providing `SPatch' and `SCompare' !
