Version 1.00 beta 18-Apr-1992
+ Initial release.
Version 1.10 beta 28-May-1992
+ Added FILES.BBS support for file announcements.
The following keywords were added to the
configuration file:
FILESBBS_FileName [full FILES.BBS specification]
FILESBBS_Files [path name of data files]
FILESBBS_AnnounceName [tag name of area]
If FILESBBS_FileName is defined, then this file
will also be searched for new incoming files to
announce, in addition to any .TIC files in the
inbound directory. The format of the FILESBBS
file is:
FileName FileDescription
FILESBBS_Files is the directory in which the
actual files reside.
FILESBBS_AnnounceName is the name to use in the
Announcement Definition below when referring to
new files found in the Files.BBS.
If this option is used, ALL FILESBBS_xxxxx
statements must be defined, and in the order of
FileName first, Files, and then AnnounceName.
Up to 40 Files.BBS files may be defined.
+ Added duplicate checking ability via an announce
file. The following keyword was added to the
configuration file:
AnnounceList [full file specification]
This file contains a list of all the files that
have been announced, one file name per line.
It is a good idea to define this if using FILESBBS
statement. It will be checked to prevent
duplicate announcements if you haven't had a
chance to move the files from your "newup" areas
since the last run of FAN.
It can be deleted periodically if it grows too
large.
Version 1.20 beta 19-Sep-1992
+ Added 'Months' keyword
In order to support multiple languages, each month
name can be customized. See Fan.Cfg for more
details.
+ Fixed case sensativity for Area and Announce
names. These names can be any case.
+ Can now define different network addresses on an
area-per-area basis. However, the origin of the
*file* for FILES.BBS files will be the primary
address. For TIC files, it will remain whatever
the 'origin' keyword is in the .TIC file.
+ Corrected bug with log levels and log message
output to the screen.
+ Enhanced the description formatting for messages.
Can now specify an optional left and right margin
for the %x token as follows:
%[left_margin:right_margin]x
See Fan.Cfg for more details.
