This is a beta release of Version 3 of MaxiFTP.
Revison 153 really fixes the problem with automatic binary mode
and allows the ASCIIs environment variable to be read properly.
Also, hosts added with the ADDHOST command are now searched for
abbreviated hostnames. For example, my example INI file adds
a number of hosts including ftp-os2.cdrom.com. If you use this INI
file, you can connect to ftp-os2.cdrom.com by maxiftp ftp-o EVEN IF
YOU DON"T HAVE IT IN YOUR NETRC FILE.
Reports of a bug when RxSock is not available have been reported -
for now, use the /x- command line option if you choose to not load
rxsock.
Revisions after 148 should have the following problems fixed:
help news should now work correctly,
automatic binary mode is fixed.
a new (undocumented) ASCIIS variable is available for automatic ASCII
selection. ASCIIS can be an environement variable, like BINARIES or
set with a SET ASCIIS=file extensions command.
The MAXIFTP.INI file can be placed in the directory where MaxiFTP is stored
to have default commands for each invocation of MaxiFTP.
It should contain commands in the format they would be issued at the MaxiFTP
prompt.
