Hi there,
Welcome to TrapDoor 1.83. Finally!
I know this one has taken ages, and I'm sorry for that. We intended to
get this version out much earlier, but so many things kept holding us up:
bugs kept creeping up, the PTT took away my telephone lines, I had hardware
troubles with my machines here and so on. Anyway, we finally managed to
put this release together.
There are not really too many new features in this release (well, there
are the one or two things that "slipped" in :-), like KS 2.04 public screens,
enhanced accounting, fax software support, etc.), but mainly we have spent
some literally months on fixing two weird bugs. One was in the EMSI handshake
-- quite a few of you have seen those "0:0/0.0" addresses and EMSI failures
in the past... that's past and gone now. The other one is hopefully fixed
and that's the "duplicate file sending" bug in the ZedZap routines. This
has been _really_ though to find. I'm still not 100% sure if it's absolutly
flawless now, but I'm quite confident it will give you less trouble than
before ;-)
Ah yes, before I go -- here are some suggestions on how to upgrade from
a previous release of TrapDoor:
We have our standard directory structure for all Trap#? programs:
MAIL: -----+- Bin (executables)
(config |- Docs (manuals, documentation)
files) |- Scripts (shell scripts)
|- Examples (example config files)
|- Rexx (arexx scripts)
|- Inbound (inbound mail and files)
|- Outbound (outbound mail and files)
|- Nodelist (nodelist, index and extra files)
|- Matrix (netmail)
|- Echo -+- TEST.area \
|- TRAPDOOR.area > (echomail areas)
|- [...] /
All TrapDoor/TrapToss/TrapScan/Trap#? distribution archives will follow
this directory structure. That way, you can always
cd MAIL:
lharc x TDxxx ; extract Trap#? software
and the files will automatically be extracted to the correct location.
You will find that most of the new options and configuration keywords
default to reasonable values, so you can just leave them out for the moment.
If you are using a nodelist, you should not forget to install the new
traplist.library and the corresponding new TrapList.
I think that's it. Don't forget to read the manual! Enjoy!
