- GothaMail Version 0.5 Information File
- --------------------------------------
-
- This file contains information on this release of GothaMail. GothaMail
- is a Microsoft Windows 3.1 application that will read and send mail via
- KA9Q NOS (or some of its derivatives). It is designed to operate with
- NOS running in a DOS window. It also expects Windows to be running in
- enhanced mode (thus requiring at least a 386SX processor).
-
- GothaMail was developed by Dean S. Anderson (KA0MCM) of Gotha Software
- Systems. It was written using Borland C++ 3.1 for Windows and OWL.
- GothaMail is free for anyone to use or copy as long as no fee is charged
- (except for media, not to exceed $10). Currently, source code is not
- available (this may change in the future).

- Changes in Version 0.5
- ----------------------
-
- This is a maintenance version to fix two serious problems. They are:
-
- - The mail file locks were not being created properly. This could cause
- file damage if GothaMail and NOS both tried to access the file at the
- same time. Symptoms of this problem were lost or damaged messages.
- This is now fixed.
-
- - If mail arrived while GothaMail had a mail file open and the 'File|
- Save' option was selected, the new mail could be partially or completely
- lost. This has also been fixed.
-
-
- Changes in Version 0.4
- ----------------------
-
- This is the first non-beta release. All previous versions have been beta
- test only. All functions should operate properly, with the exception of
- the help facility. Help was not implemented due to delays in getting this
- version distributed. The following is a list of added functionality that
- may not be obvious to users of the previous version.
-
- - It is now possible to select multiple messages in the main window
- and perform operations on the group of messages selected (eg. Delete,
- Move, Copy, etc.).
-
- - The 'Messages'|'Reply To' menu selection will automatically build the
- headers and subject lines. This means you do not get the send headers
- dialog box. If you wish to edit the headers (eg. add more To: entries),
- select the 'Edit'|'Headers...' menu option in the send window.
-
- - You can now move or copy messages to another mail file by using the
- 'Messages'|'Move...' and 'Copy...' menu options.

- Previous Versions
- -----------------
-
- Versions prior to 0.4 are test and beta versions with various functions
- missing. If you have a version prior to 0.4, don't use it, update it.
