Version Date Description
─────── ──────── ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1.02b 11/05/93 Fixed a QScan problem where it would think message index
files needed rebuilding when they really did not.
QSCAN.EXE was only released.
1.02b 11/02/93 Fixed a problem in QScan when more than 50 PATH addresses
were present in a message.
Fixed a problem in QFront that would cause a runtime error
if the nodelist database failed to open.
QNList was displaying error messages in the compile window
instead of the error window. Fixed.
Fixed Zmodem problems when connecting at low baud rates
(less than 9600).
QFConfig was doing strange things when you pressed [ESC]
instead of hitting [ENTER] when the "apply poll to event"
picklist was displayed. Fixed.
If nodes were still in the dial queue when a Fido event
finished running, the nodes would not be removed. Fixed.
Fixed problem where file request limits (max files and max
bytes) weren't being honored as configured in QFConfig.
If a file was requested that contained an exclamation mark,
(for example THIS!FILE.ZIP), part of the filename was
incorrectly interpreted as the file password. Fixed.
QScan will now refuse to import mail into your PCBoard
conferences if your own address appears in the PATH line.
QScan can now be configured to strip high ASCII characters
from PCBoard messages when creating Fido packets. The
option was added to QFConfig->Mail Scanner.
QFront can now be configured NOT to unpack NetMail into
.MSG format. Use this setting only if you are NOT using
an external NetMail editor like GoldED.
QScan will now skip scanning any PCBoard conference that
has its message index (IDX) file out of sync with the
actual message base. Previously, QScan would exit with a
runtime error. The next release of QScan will actually be
able to rebuild the index file, but for now it just gets
skipped (and makes an entry in the QScan log).
1.01b 10/26/93 When browsing the nodelist by sysop name, QFront will now
search by the sysop's last name instead of the first name.
(Thanks Joe Siegler)
When running "errorlevel" or "batch file" events, QFront
will now always take the modem off-hook.
If you had pass-through areas configured, and you did a
QScan /SETHIGH:xxx you would get a runtime error.
(Thanks Jeffrey Boyd)
Significantly reduced memory requirements.
QFront was not recognizing some error connect strings on
certain modems. Fixed.
(Thanks John Robin)
A problem where QFront would always show "No last caller
found" has been fixed.
Path problems were fixed when using the "batch file" event
type. From now on, all of your batch files for the batch
file event type must be located in the same location as
your PCBOARD.DAT file.
QScan choked when it hit a PASS-THROUGH area. Fixed.
QScan processing speed has been increased.
You can now specify external mail strings, handy for use
with handling uucp mail runs.
The outbound Fido dialer has been significantly modified.
This modification allows callers in-between dialouts, and
allows QFront to handle inbound call collisions (if a
call comes in while it's trying to dial out, it will abort
the dialout and immediately answer the phone).
QScan now checks the PATH line as well as the SEEN-BY line
for duplicate detection.
PATH and SEEN-BY lines weren't being properly updated for
PASS-THROUGH areas. Fixed.
Added a KILL message flag to PCBoard-style NetMail
messages. If you have the KILL flag set (by specifying
KILL on the second line of the NetMail message, enclosed
in parenthesis), QFront will kill the .MSG message after
sending the message (the message will not be deleted from
PCBoard's message base, however).
Fixed node number problem when QFront was running under a
single-node system.
Significantly reduced memory requirements.
Fixed a problem where QFront would exit with a runtime
error on some inbound mail runs that contained NetMail.
If a file called "STATUS" is found in the QFront directory,
QFront will read and display the first line of that file
instead of displaying "Ready for a call". Useful for
writing notes to yourself, etc.
(Thanks Mark Herring)
Problems with finding file requests when PCBoard's MAKEIDX
utility was used were found and fixed.
(Thanks Joe Siegler)
The settings in the "accounting" part of the accounting/
translation setup was being interpreted backwards. It
should work as documented in the manual now.
A packet aging feature has been added. Using this, if you
specify a number other than 0, QFront will delete outbound
packets that are older than "x" days (where x is the aging
number you enter into QFConfig). This is handy if you
have a downlink that is not picking up his mail and you
don't want a lot of packets sitting around.
A switch has been added where you can tell QFront whether
to respect the low baud rate settings in PCBoard or not.
Setting this flag to "N" will cause QFront to completely
ignore low baud rates and pass the caller normally to
PCBoard, at which time it is up to PCBoard whether it is a
low baud rate caller or not.
QScan can now be told to respect PRIVATE EchoMail messages
or not.
1.00b 09/22/93 First wide-area beta release.
