X-Finder R.11 Beta12
====================

This is Beta 12.  Modification of the parts I found troublesome.

Please send your report to gaku@estyle.ne.jp or RXF10242@nifty.com.

Changes from X-Finder R.11 beta 11 are:

- Quick start of database files, with a command to change contents of 
  a file.
- Starting of an EXM program with a long path name.
- Controlling of MaxDOS

[1] New command $f to change contents of a file

  Usage:
  $f filename file_content

  This command will change the content of the specified file to the 
  string specified by the second parameter.

  The PIM definitions in the section "Associated program definition by 
  matched file extension" in the environment file should be changed as 
  below, to enable a quick launch.

.adb	,r	,$t ApptBook;$f C:\_DAT\APPTBK.ENV %p%c;$m {xb000(Appt)}
.pdb	,r	,$t Phone;$f C:\_DAT\PHONE.ENV %p%c;$m {xb400(Phone)}
.gdb	,r	,$t Database;$f C:\_DAT\DB.ENV %p%c;$m {xba00(Database)}
.ndb	,r	,$t NoteTaker;$f C:\_DAT\NOTE.ENV %p%c;$m {xbe00(NoteTaker)}

  Important note:  This is still a beta version.  Backup of your 
                   important database files is highly recommended.

[2] Starting of an EXM program with a long path name.

  Previous version of X-Finder cannot start an EXM program with a path 
  name longer than 31 characters, due to the restriction of the System 
  Manager. Now, the command $x first checks the length of the path 
  name, and if it find it longer than 31 characters, it copies the 
  file to the temporary directory to launch it from there.

[3] Controlling of MaxDOS

  Previous versions of X-Finder cannot execute a command such as:
    500,maxdos dir
  since it tried in vain to launch MaxDOS twice.  Current version of 
  X-Finder does not add an unnecessary MaxDOS to a command which 
  by itself starts with MaxDOS.
