BestView 2.16

Hello, All! Differences from version 2.15 ────────────────────── [+] New. [-] Bug fixed. [*] The bug has been fixed and/or the program has been improved. [:] Some characteristic of the program has been degraded. [+] View the table of contents of PKZIP and HRIP archives. [*] Not only files with extension "ZIP", but also with extensions "zip" and "zxz". (PKZIP archives can also have the extensions "ZIP" and "zip" but they will not be confused with ZXZIP archives, because that the signature is checked at the beginning of the archive.) [*] Now, when searching, the letters “ё” and “e” are not distinguished: this convenient when it is not known whether a letter is used in the text "yo". [-] When analyzing an HRIP archive using CS+A (or when analyzing disk with such an archive using CS+D) archive header was mistaken for a block packed by HRUST. Accordingly, an attempt to view (unpack) such "block" led to unpleasant consequences. [-] Freeze when trying to view a file with the "ZIP" extension and zero length in bytes. [-] If the file extension did not contain Latin letters, it has always been considered single-character (except for extensions, starting with "$"). [-] If the file extension began with "$", it was always considered three-character, regardless of the meaning of the other two characters extensions.[-] If, when viewing not the first part of the HTML file, the border between the end of the previous and the beginning of the current part of the file fell inside a tag, the rest of that tag was shown. [-] If, when viewing an HTML file, there was a ">" symbol inside comment, then the rest of this comment was shown. [:] The size of the program has increased by 3 sectors. Best regards, Ivan Roshchin.

Fido has similar problems with the Russian letters "H", "r" and "u": "H" -- considered a soft line break (code 0x8d in CP866), practically is always replaced by all capital 'h'. "r" - the dos Norton commander burrs, old Russifiers are being replaced to 'p' lowercase. "y" is perceived as the end of a line in Maximum-BBS and therefore on BBS is replaced by 'Y' lowercase. It would be nice to have a function for restoring texts sent via Fido: if the Latin letters "H", "p", "y" are present in a word with Russian letters, then they should be replaced with similar Russian “H”, “r”, “u”. However, this is suitable not only for these three letters, but also for all Latin letters similar in style with some Russian letters. -- [ZX]

Someone should tell Yandex this ;-) . Yandex _doesn't find_ documents with substituted H. So the problem is much broader than Fida :) .

Immediately, as soon as text search appeared in BestView (and this happened in version 2.10 - 03/17/2001), when searching already it was taken into account that the Russian letters "H", "p", "y" can be replaced with the corresponding Latin letters. Best regards, Ivan Roshchin.
