Two new commands have been added to SQUASH.
The SQARCC command (Copy Archive Member) allows the user to copy a member from the
archive for a source file back into the source file while leaving the copy active in the archive.
This feature is useful when coding your own applications to use members from the archive file.
The ARCOMP command (Compile Archive Member) lets you compile a program that is stored
in the archive for a source file without first extracting it. This is useful for customers who are
working on RISC migration and just want a fresh compile for a program.
Both of these new features are now available as a remote PTF. They are contained in PTF
package SQPTF402. If you are interested in getting these new features for your copy of
SQUASH, please let us know via E-mail and we will send the PTF package to you.
SQUASH now supports distribution of program updates remotely via the Internet. To
use this feature, you must obtain SQUASH Version 3.08 or greater from Kisco Information
Systems
and install it on your system(s). With this feature, you can receive program updates and fixes
from
Kisco via the Internet. Initially, you must request the update via an E-mail attached PC file. In
the
near future, we will be making these update packages available for direct download from our
Website.
Effective date: 09/30/96
Support has now been added that allows you to compile compressed source members for ILE
programs and all C programs. Until this change, these programs had to be decompressed before
they could be compiled. Now, as with all other compressed source members, these can be
compiled without being decompressed beforehand.
Effective date: 08/16/96
As a result of a customer request, a new command has been added to SQUASH that enables the
user to display the contents of an archived member directly. Until this point, a user could only
view the contents of a member in the on-line archive by using the browse facility. Providing the
display command enables application programs to have view access to members in the archive.
Effective date: 01/11/96
This changes forces the Source File Analysis report processing to run in batch. Until now, this
report was always run in the interactive environment which could cause performance problems
for
some users.

and we'll add your change
to
our list of possible implementations.
