Linux/Dos Version 5.33
Changes on July 29, 2001
- True SEMI-LOG scaling is
new.
- Linux; Fix X trendline
function
to make it less jumpy in Linux.
- Menu order changed:
F2 -> list-of-graphs -> graph and ESC back
in the same order, instead of the old way which jumped back to
the opening menu. Also, I now force the user back to original
data subdir when user returns to opening menu.
- Linux: sdir.c limit user
to data subdirectory so I don't get lost
looking for graphs in F2.
- Linux: change sfgts.c dummy
to unsigned char. This fixes F9 key in
rapidutl/convert.c ... doesn't seem to break F4.
- Linux: PRN and prn files
caught and changed to PRN_ & prn_ because
FAT32 filesystem doesn't let you use these special names. It thinks
that you mean printer-port. rapidutl/convert.c
- Linux: dcl/clib.c
added scr_rowcol16() and modified ftos(), putsn()
scr_rowcol() to allow a more refined row/col parameter for setting
text in more exact positions on the screen. I then changed sg1.c
to set the numbers down the left column in more refined spots.
I also changed smany.c "volume" to align it with the horz notch.
- Linux:Changed
the makefile to not include ifdef GD include file.
I wonder how anyone compiled this as it was?
- Linux: spop.c,
swin.c, dcl/clib.c, proto.h, all changed to do
an automatic background colour that is NOT black, but instead, is
a darker shade of the main TEXT colour.
Linux/Dos Version 5.31
Changes on July 13, 2000
- Turned F4 adding/subtracting
graphs on, for Linux users.
- Made Ctrl-F9 commodity
adjustment
lists unlimited length in both Dos/Linux.
- Fixed -.999 thru 0.0 numbers
in DOS version.
Dos Version 5.29
Changes on June 11, 2000
- Added Monthly date scale.
- Added commodity rollover F9/Ctrl-F9 adjustments
to weekly and
monthly graphs instead of just
influencing the daily graph.
Dos Version 5.28
Changes on May 30, 2000
- "BadDate" in F5/F2, now fixed for sure, this time.
Linux/Dos Version 5.27
Changes on May 15, 2000
- changed F5/F2: 31Dec00 to
accept 31-Dec-00 Yahoo format.
- "BadDate" message removed in DOS version of F5/F2.
- Linux: split adjuster - F7: fix ratio
string: linefeed was messing up display.
- Linux: F5/InvestorLink unzip so that it only
extracts
.CSF and .STK files.
DOS, version 5.26
Changes on March 11, 2000
- F5/F5 had a bug in the DOS
version.
- F9 failed if you exited in .adj mode; now
fixed.
- change rapidutl/rapidut2.c to catch PRN names.
- WindowsNT problem: F5/F2/F2 was freezing because
it doesn't
like scr_ci(), I suspect.
DOS, version 5.25
Changes on Feb 26, 2000
- Fixed a mouse problem: where
floating
it over List and then down
over the Open a graph, would cause
Open-a-list to occur instead.
That was incorrect and now it
is fixed.
- Delete left over ".^" temporary files.
- Maximum directory listing is now 3000 instead
of 2000. C and S stocks
were getting cut off because there
are over 2000 of them.
Linux only version 5.24
Changes on Feb 10, 2000
- changed rapidutl.exe
import/export graphs: better appearance,
better error messages,
Rapid-to-Text
doesn't ask if you
want to graph it (since
it cannot graph a text file).
- Add InvestorLink direct conversion to Rapid
<F5><I>.
- <F5><F2>"Do you want to graph this
now?"
works now.
- maximum directory listing is now 3000 instead
of 2000. C and S stocks
were getting cut off because there
are over 2000 of them.
- Linux core dump at start up on RH6.1 is fixed.
(Thanks to Micah).
Linux only version 5.23
Changes on Jan 25, 2000
- Delete left over ".^"
temporary
files.
- LINUX: created separate libc6 and libc5
executables,
same source code.
Linux and DOS, version
5.22
Changes on Jan 18, 2000
- yyyymmdd data import was
skipping lines.
- added four decimals for small numbers, eg. 0.6913
- Fixed F9 commodity adjuster.
- Linux only: alt-s/t, time-horizon lines changed
to refine buy/sell signals and avoid
trendless markets and improve
the display.
- Linux only: InvestorLink SPLT split file format
is changed to yyyymmdd.
Changes on Jan 3, 2000:
Linux
v5.19 - Same as 5.16 Year 2000
upgrade.
- But it overcomes a XGetImage error one person reported. Not
many
of you will experience that error.
- Sort order of Y2000 in portfolio graph $ was incorrect and its last
graphed
day was one day short.
- speeded up menus 10x, which is good if you have a P133 computer or
486
computer.
- stock-split adjuster using InvestorLink files works now.

v5.17 Here is the big Year 2000
upgrade.
This version will
change all your files to 4 digit years and the import/export utility
has
a 4 digit year format now. The files are the same size. It is best not
to go back to the old versions of Rapid after you switch to this one.
WARNING:
Make a backup of your data before Jan 1/2000 and before installing this
version.
The other major
change
is a fix for the portfolio graphing function. It is a bug fix for long
open trades of greater than one year.

Also, some menus are fixed, like Williams%R. Nobody mentioned it. I guess nobody uses it.
