UtilityWorks now only works with GS/OS, and all system calls have been converted to GS/OS calls. The UtilityWorks Launcher remains compatible with ProDOS 16 as well as GS/OS. The following new features have been added to UtilityWorks version 0.7. 1. Capability to copy resource forks and/or data forks of extended files. Capability to add a resource fork to a standard file to make it an extended file (when using System Disk 5.0). Capability to verify both the resource fork and data fork of an extended file. 2. Capability to copy only those files that have changed (ie; whose Backup Bits are set). In this copy mode the backup bits are reset after a successful copy. 3. Improved File and Disk Utility Dialog. Entries are now alphabetized. Directory size and space remaining information is displayed. Improved initial selection of directories, centering of entries, and better titles for each dialog. 4. Capability to change file type and auxiliary file type using a simple point and click procedure. All Apple recognized (plus a few others) file type mnemonics are displayed in a dialog. All Apple recognized (plus several others) auxiliary file types are displayed in a second dialog. 5. Ability to select which CDevs will be loaded, in addition to the previous ability to select which Desk Accessories, Initialization files, Drivers, and FSTs will be loaded. 6. Ability to display and print Printshop GS Color Graphics files as well as $C2 Animation files (first screen) and some Object-oriented Graphics files. UtilityWorks will now display and print almost all SHR Graphics file formats, including those which take multiple screens. Horizontal and vertical scroll bars permit you to scroll through the picture. The part of the screen displayed can be saved as a standard unpacked $C1 file which can be changed to a standard BIN file for use by several slide show programs. Numerous bugs in Graphics display of several SHR formats have been fixed. UtilityWorks will now correctly display Paintworks 620 mode pictures and can now properly display non-standard width Apple Preferred format pictures. Original palettes (where they exist) are used. Icons are now displayed in a double height screen format for large icon files. 7. Capability to use and display Publish It! $F7 fonts, as well as add them to the standard Apple Font Manager's set of fonts. 8. Capability to display a text window (AppleWorks, Text, Source, and AppleSoft files) and print it (in Graphics mode) using any desired font. UtilityWorks will now word wrap in either landscape or portrait mode for any desired font size. Optional headers containing file name, date, and page numbers may also be printed. AppleTalk is supported, and printing may now be done to an ImageWriter or LaserWriter connected to AppleTalk in addition to direct connect printers. 9. Text printing now utilizes Character FSTs which permit rapid text mode printing to either a direct connect printer or an ImageWriter or LaserWriter printer connected on AppleTalk. 10. File search now has a wild card capability. 11. Numerous bugs have been fixed in the file and disk utilities. Memory compacting and purge capabilities have been added. 12. I/O Redirection is supported with System Disk 5.0. Prefixes may now be set to any character device name in addition to standard pathnames. 13. Computer Info. now provides additional information associated with System Disk 5.0 and its new tools. 14. All pathname delimitors are now ":" rather than "/" to provide compatibility for future FSTs. Show Devices now displays the device name, volume name, and associated file system (eg; ProDOS). The Catalog now displays a second line of information for any extended file that shows the resource fork information.
