# 04.05.08K6 Release Notes

PFBACKGROUND=OFF

Turns off *report/dxmaint "-bg" and "!g" to enter background.

PFBIXBLANK=OFF

Tells filePro that a null key in a lookup on a

4.5-style index should find the lowest key, which was the default

4.5 behavior until now. Default of ON matches an entirely-blank

key, which is the behavior of 4.1-style indexes.

DOS Fixed PFKEYTAB=DOS use of Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down. (Actually,

any key combination whose scancode >= 0x80.)

UNIX Fixed flooding the keyboard buffer in *clerk browse mode with

'N' and 'P' could cause the graphics line at the top/bottom of the

screen to be corrupted.

All Platforms Fix ddir crashing on files with large number of

formats. (More than 12 screens full.)

All Platforms ddir will now display alien file info even if alien

file doesn't exist.

All Platforms Lookup editor -- If you have backslash codes in the

browse lookup, the editor's display was corrupted.

DOS dxmaint and *report will recognize and ignore "-bg" and "-bs"

flags.

All Platforms When prompting for a filePro file name, only show

subdirectories of the filepro directory, rather than all items

(including non-dir's) in the filepro directory.

All Platforms When doing a browse lookup with "-nl" and giving a key

less than the lowest key in the file (or "-ng" with a key above the

highest key) you were placed at the wrong end of the file. ("-nl"

placed you at the highest key, and "-ng" placed you at the lowest

key.)

All Platforms fPCopy - Would crash if more than 255 files in

.../filepro/filename directory.

DOS fPCopy - Recognize lowercase filenames on systems that allow DOS

programs to see lowercase names. (Win'95 workstation networked to an

OS/2 server. Unknown if network software a factor.)

DOS dscreen would give a permission denied error if you tried to

delete the current screen format.

All Platforms If you have a variable-name lookup, and the variable

you use to specify the name does not exist, no syntax error was

reported, and invalid code was generated.

ie: lookup foo = (aa) i=a k=ky -nx

...and there is no "aa" anywhere else on the prc table.
