The latest release of Ivo's Packet Mailer for the Mac, a packet radio application. Full documentation is built into the application via balloon help.
New Features in this release
* Typing a special address like 'remco%utr.pa3fym@pi8rni,remco' does no longer crash IM/Mac.
* Corrected a minor unBinHex problem: when a message contained only a few lines of a larger BinHex file, the unBinHex code would try to decode the file over a length equal to the sum of the data fork and resource fork of the original file. This not only l
ead to a CRC error but took much more time than necessary since non existant lines were decoded. Such a situation gives now an 'end of file' error.
* When unBinHex fails no longer a file remains in the invisible 'Temporary Items' folder.
* BinHex coded messages over 64k in length did not decode reliably.
* The Outbound Mail window was not updated correctly after a new message was sent.
* Added 'open' resource to application and 'kind' resource to preference file.
* 'Fwd: ' is added in front of the subject when a message is forwarded.
* The AppleScript command 'activate' did not bring IM/Mac to the foreground.
* The message size was 10 bytes short after being read.
* Disabled default buttons (usually the 'OK' button) use a blended gray on color systems.
* Made it pass through the Think C 7.0.4 compiler (thank you Adam!).
* Added an option to delete a file when sent (this item does not have a help balloon yet).
* Removed a longstanding issue in which all processing comes to a halt when an IM/Mac notification shows. The notification is removed after 1 minute only when a dialog shows.
* Outbound messages are stuffed only once and the temporary file is only deleted when all destinations are served.
* Sending binary files to more than one host resulted in a corrupted date and time in the second and following outbound message.
* Made it pass through the Think C 8.0 compiler.
* ISO 8859-1 transliteration menu item did not have a help balloon.
* MacsBug installed on a pre-system 7 Macintosh was not detected.
* Under System 6.0.x, desk accessories can be launched in IM/Mac's partition by opening them with the option key held down. Doing so did crash IM/Mac once in a while with an address error.
* Trying to print (or Page Setupx) with no printer selected (e.g., a fresh system software installation) resulted in a crash.
* StuffIt Classic segments have a filetype of 'SegM'. Those were not in the list of filetypes not to compress.
* Changed the color of Stop, Note and Caution icons.
* Very long pathnames confused the edition of the 'bm.rc' file. Such strings show with an elipsis character in the middle. Of course that character should not be stored in the file like it did before.
* Made it compile with 'MW C/C++ 68K 1.2.2' and corrected flagged errors. IM/Mac's soure code is not yet fully compatible with MetroWerks CodeWarrior 6 since the BinHex function was implemented in 68k assembler.
* Added 'CNTL' resources for scrollbars and removed embedded code.
