Documentation Update

Product:   Comet2006Workstation363.exe BETA

Version:   Comet 2006 Build 363

Date:      November 15, 2005

1.	Corrected a problem that could have crashed Comet if you got an error on an
	ACTIVATE and an EXCP= error handler was coded.

2.	Eliminated a crash when running CFAM and Enterlevel exceeded 99.  Now an E78
	will be issued instead.
	
3.	Corrected a problem shutting down a DES program when abort is in progress
	because the user closed the Comet window while generating a print document.
	Symptoms of this problem were documents from remote clients being launched on
	the host and/or GPF on the host computer. 
	
4.	A change has been made to the behavior of the /C startup parameter.  The size
	of the pathname used when loading Comet has been increased to 64 characters.
	Also, only the REL folder will be accessed as this is all that is required
	to run SYSGEN.

5.	E54 is now issued if you have an html printer open and you attempt to open a
	file with invalid keyname.  Previously E75 was issued.
	
6.	Eliminated a crash that could occur if you configured a CFAM directory that
	did not exist.
	

Changes in previous releases: Build 362 1. Comet can now be installed to run as a service. 2. Corrected a problem that could have crashed Comet if you got an error on an ACTIVATE and an error handler was coded (ie ERRORTO or EXCP=). 3. Comet will no longer attempt to start if a connection to any of the configured file servers fails. 4. Corrected a problem that could have resulted in negative user counts in the file server dialog if an old version of CFAM attempted to connect. 5. REWRITE to an extended keyed file now always returns E32 if the record does not already exist. 6. Background partitions can no longer perform DAB accesses. This was part of a move to enhance security. An access statement executed in background will result in E37 -- CAN'T PERFORM GIVEN ACTION -- NO PERMISSION GRANTED. If you wish a background partition to have access to particular DABs, just access them before the activate, and those DABs will be copied to the target partition before the program is launched. Build 361 1. Corrected a problem with the suppression of the initial formfeed for :RAW printers. 2. Corrected the way COSP determined the location of COSW.INI which could cause the wrong fonts to get loaded. 3. CFAM will no longer crash if one or more servers was unavailable due to error. 4. A problem that was introduced in .360 that set TERM$ for all background partitions to "T00" has been corrected. TERM$ for background partition is now always blank. 5. The WinSock gateway is now much faster. A system-enforced pause of 5 seconds was able to be reduced to 1 tick. This will definitely speed up your WinSock applications such as sending email from Comet. 6. Now you can develop and test XAP applications before you buy the license. You are restricted to talking only to the local host at 127.0.0.1. Build 360 1. New IB statements for use with the Multi-keyed File System for CFAM: CreateKey FileName, KeyName, KeyLength, KeyPosition, Dir=DirectoryName, [excp=exception address] Open (LUN) FileName, Key=KeyName[, Dir=DirectoryName][, excp=exception address] KeyStatInfo$ = KeyStat (LUN) I0XNumber[, excp=exception address] For more information, refer to the IB manual which is once again available online: IB Manual 2. The FileList utility in Comet Explorer has been enhanced to support multi-keyed files. The multi-keyed file system requires CFAM and CometServe0509 or higher.
