| 15 Aug, 2001 | My Web Site has moved to http://home.mnet-online.de/horst.muc/ Redirection from the old site will be active for at least several month. |
| 30 Jul, 2001 | LMOD 1.2 supports range of words, e.g. [$3:!] (third up to last), and offset, e.g. [$!-1] (one before last). |

| 15 Jul, 2001 | FIND version 2.3: two small search tools I have used for some time; now extended and updated for public release. |
| 14 Jul, 2001 | LMOD version 1.1 is a COM file now (instead of EXE), which allows patching the character table for upper/lower case, and using LMOD in PACO files. Functionality unchanged. |
| 24 Jun, 2001 | SHOW version 1.4: search string is kept for editing and for search in linked files. |
| 24 Jun, 2001 | Windows 2000: Mouse does not work in DOS box? For some reason Win 2000's default setting is "Quick edit mode" (i.e. mark© mode). To use the mouse in normal mode goto Properties / Options and turn off the Quick edit mode. |
| 02 Jun, 2001 | WBAT variables in layout: output "fields" for column aligned
display. New release: WBAT version 2.32 |
| 05 May, 2001 | WBAT: New option "!" in input field layout: input required. Box cannot be closed (other than by ESC) when field is empty or blank. (cursor jumps to this field; sound). New release: WBAT version 2.31 |
| 04 May, 2001 | Good news: Windows 2000 supports long file names in DOS box programs. The programming interface for long file name support under DOS has been available under Windows 95/98, but not under Win/NT. Surprisingly, the new Windows 2000 also supports LFN's under DOS (e.g. SHOW "long file name.txt" is reported to work nicely). |
| 02 May, 2001 | New option in WBAT.INI: ESCinput=1 will not discard input upon ESC (input strings, checkboxes, radio buttons). By default these variables are not set, when a box is closed by ESC. |
| 02 May, 2001 | WBAT enhancement: Override INI file settings by environmental variables. This was possible only for colors. Now all settings can be temporarily overriden (remember to use variable names with prefix "W"). |
