- WinpScape Update
- ----------------
- This is an update to the WinpScape program supplied with WinPack V6.2.
- This latest release supports graphics. It was put together as a result
- of telling someone that it was "impossible" to support graphics with
- WinpScape. I suddenly thought - "Oh dear, if I'm saying things are
- impossible, I must be getting old!" It has had very little testing, so
- please regard it as a beta version and keep your old files in case you
- find a serious problem.
-
- Installation
- ------------
- Replace the following files in your WINPACK directory with the updates
- in this zip - WINPSCAP.EXE, WINPSCAP.HLP, YAPPMESS.HTM and YAPPFAIL.HTM.
-
- Put GRWAIT.WAV and GRDONE.WAV in your WINPACK\WAV directory.
-
-
- The changes in WinpScape since the version released with WinPack V6.2
- are as follows:-
-
- Changes in WinpScape V2.0b (this version)
- ----------------------------------------
- Graphics are now supported - see the "What WinpScape Does" and
- "Creating Some Pages" sections of the help. There is now an "Options"
- menu with two options associated with graphics support - see the
- "Setting It Up" section of the help.
-
- Changes in WinpScape V1.3
- -------------------------
- An option added to load a page into your browser. This allows you to
- create a local page with links on it that you can use for connecting to
- a BBS, or anything else that you can think of. (Loading a page into your
- browser using the browers own menu options won't work, because the DDE
- links for the WinpScape protocol types have to be set up after the the
- page is loaded).
-
- Changes in WinpScape V1.2
- -------------------------
- There was a slight problem with V1.0 that could result in the FBB DOS
- prompt being left in HTML files downloaded from an FBB BBS. This is now
- fixed.
-
- Two new HTML protocol types have been implemented:-
-
- command: any text after the command is sent to WinPack. Example:-
- command:/bye
- WinpScape assumes that a command does not result in the return of an
- HTML page from the other station, so it won't stop you clicking another
- link immediately after you have clicked a command link. (Contrast this
- to the behaviour of an ax25, yapp or request link - see below).
-
- request: any text after the request is sent to WinPack. Example:-
- request:/someprog
- WinpScape assumes that a request does result in the return of an HTML
- page from the other station, so you will be prevented from clicking
- another link until the page is received - same behaviour as an ax25 or a
- yapp link.
-
- Have fun!
