The old way did not work correctly on 32-bit systems. - Added watch cursor in 'Save As=C9'. - The name of the crash log file is changed from 'crash_log' to 'StdLog' to be consistent with MacsBug 6.5. - Thighter check for 'special' addresses. - Brought icons back in line with NET/Mac. - Added 'Hide Clipboard'. - Added 'kind' resource. - Added a 'snd ' resource (Triangle). - Changed 'New' into 'New Message'. - To reduce file fragmentation and improve I/O performance 'Save', 'Save As=C9', 'Save Selection=C9' and 'Append=C9' preallocate the required number of blocks. - Cancel printing was implemented since long but it never worked. It does now. - Added 'in' (inch) after the values in the page margin boxes. You cannot change this to centimeters nor does IM/Mac honor the setting of the 'Numbers' control panel. - Missing help balloon text for 'Page Setup' dialog added. - Added 'Collated Copies' and 'Print Selection Only' checkboxes. Both are inactive for the moment. - Corrected typing error in the text of alerts 466 and 467. - A 'From: ' line as in 'From: aaaa bbbbb ' was not correctly interpreted. 'aaaa' was taken as the address while it should have been 'xxxxx@yyyyyyyyy.zzz'. This resulted in a search for the wrong data in the 'alias' file when replying. - Changed 'X-Mailer: IM/Mac 1.0b28c' into 'X-Mailer: IM/Mac [version 1.0b28c]'. - Changed 'Date: Sat, 17 Sep 94 09:53:59 +0000 UTC' into 'Date: Sat, 17 Sep 94 09:53:59 +0000 (UTC)'. - 'Clear All' sometimes left two carets. Sunday, September 18, 1994 - 07:56:51 UTC PS (by PA2AGA) This version obsoletes all versions of info-mac/comm/radio-im-mac in the Sumex-Aim archives. The new IM/Mac has (hopefully) been uploaded to oak.oakland.edu, to the directory /pub/hamradio/mac/digital and to ftp.ucsd.edu, to direc= tory /hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming. If it's not there (anymore), then lo= ok at /hamradio/packet/tcpip/mac. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Sep 1994 18:33:35 From: pacbell.com!uop!lll-winken.llnl.gov!sol.ctr.columbia.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!torn!news.unb.ca!nbt.nbnet.nb.ca!dynam27.nbnet.nb.ca!moores@ames.arpa Subject: JNOS as a Domain Name Server To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else. Has/can jnos be made to act as a domain name server? If so, can someone point me in the right direction as to how to set the thing up? I am running version 1.08 under MSDOS.

You are allowed 100 uses. I kinda like having HF/VHF windows open and some of the other features are nice. It is intuative but also takes some playing around with. BTW, I think it leaves your TNC in the HOST/KISS mode in that my other TNC programs now just show garbage characters. (I need to correct this). Good luck!

You might want to take a look in the documentation and see if there is an option to control this. I don't know anything about xpkam, but I'm the author of another shareware host mode terminal program, KAMterm, and I set it up to give the user a choice on this. By default, KAMterm prefers to leave the TNC in normal mode (if you try to exit in host mode, it asks if you want to reset the TNC first). If you add a certain option in the config file, KAMterm silently exits with the TNC in host mode. I'd bet that xpkam does the same thing (but its defaults appear to be different). If that doesn't work out, you can always key in the reset sequence. I'm not sure off-hand what it is, and have to get ready for work now, but it's in the host mode documentation in the Kantronics Operation Manual. They specifically mention what you need to key in (from a non-host-mode terminal program) when your TNC is accidentally left in host mode. Hope this helps.
