I have just uploaded FM/2 3.15 to ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/fm2 (moving to
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/fm2) and to hobbes
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?dir=/pub/incoming&sort=date
moving to
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?sh=1&dir=//pub/os2/util/browser

Changes are listed below:

o Added the option to turn write verify off on a per drive basis; it is turned off on
nonfloppy
 removables by default to address reports of hangs with FAT32 usb drives and of FAT
USB
 drives behaving as read only devices. Ticket 318/323 (Gregg)
 o Seek and scan can now be started from the drives or directories context menus.
Doing so
 will use the drive/directory as the root for the search. Ticket 167 (Gregg)
 o Added "DataBar" menu item to utilities menu. Ticket 280 (Gregg)
 o Eliminated the need for archiver list to have start and end list strings; this allows it to
 work with tar for example. Ticket 284 (John)
 o Add setup for using latest tar including for .tar.gz and .tar.bz files (gzip and/or bzip
must
 also be in your path) to archiver.tmp (John)
 o Added check for protectonly systems will gray out dos/win command line menu
items and causes
 Dos/Win executables to be opened in a viewer since they will fail anyway. Ticket 325
(Gregg)

config notebook)
