GEOLIST 2.0
by John F. Howard

GeoList2.0 adds 2 more features to GeoList and fixes a minor bug.

The bug was in the tabs of the GeoWrite format list output. The last 2 tabs couldn't be moved once the list was generated. I repositioned them slightly so that they now work correctly.

NEW FEATURES:

A couple of folks wanted to be able to put the list on a different disk. (Here you go Mister G!) With 2.0 you can do just that on a multi-disk system. If you only have one drive this option isn't available.

Since I was messing with the disk in/out area of the program I added the capability to access a third drive without going back to the DeskTop and swapping drive C. My thanks for this idea to Master Blaster who showed us how this was done in geoWorld #17.

GeoList 2.1 UPDATE October, 2003

Todd Elliott fixed geoList 2.0 (and renamed it geoList 2.1) to work with 4 Drives under Wheels after I found it behaved as if only 1 drive was present (you could not save the output to another drive).

Todd's addition of 4 Drive support also corrected a bug where the name of a RAM disk was not properly identified (RAM 1571, UAM 1571, WAM 1571, etc. at various times) so the program works better now. If you are using 3 Drives under GEOS you will see Drive D: listed but there will not be a box beside it to select it for file output.

Todd gave me permission to distribute his patched version along with the source code (glistpat.s). I have editted this Doc file found on GeoManiacs Disk 6A and am including it in the geoPacked file as well.

Thanks Todd!
