- New As Of 11.10
- ---------------
-
- All of the below features were added in version 11.09. However, 11.09
- had a bug in some printing routines, so it was quickly pulled out of
- distribution, and replaced with version 11.10. Therefore, since only
- a few people saw version 11.09, the features added to it will be reported
- in this document.
-
-
- 1) Kermit will now catch and report a "Disk Full" error when receiving.
-
- 2) Added a new feature. If the following Procedure command:
-
- PUTPARAM 504,1
-
- is compiled and executed, the Terminal Window will be hidden during a
- file transfer, and reappear when the transfer is finished. To turn off
- this feature, compile and execute the following Procedure command:
-
- PUTPARAM 504,0
-
- 3) Added support for the Stuffit Deluxe archive/unarchive engine. If you
- own the Deluxe version of Stuffit, I think you'll really appreciate how
- easy it is now to work with archiving and unarchiving files without having
- to leave White Knight. If the Stuffit engine is present, three new menu
- items will appear in White Knight:
-
- File->Stuff Files
- -----------------
- This item allows you to create Stuffit archives. You may select files
- either one at a time, or you may choose to archive the contents of entire
- folders, or you may do a combination of both as many times as you like.
- A scrolling list will show you the files that you have selected. All of
- the types of compression offered by the Stuffit Engine are available, but
- the "Optimal" and "Best Guess" compression types will only be available
- if the version of the Stuffit Engine you are using is higher than 1.0.
-
- File->Unstuff Files
- -------------------
- This item allows you to convert a Stuffit archive into its original
- component files.
-
- Customize->Options->Unstuff
- ---------------------------
- There are two choices in this dialog box.
-
- You can tell White Knight to automatically unstuff received files either
- at the end of a file transfer, before quitting White Knight, or not at all.
-
- Unlike the File->Unstuff Files choice, you will not be given a dialog box
- asking you to name the resulting files as they are unstuffed, so this feature
- is fully compatible with Procedures. If the archive contains only one file,
- that file will be placed in the same folder as the archive file. If it
- contains more than one file, a new folder is created (using the archive name
- minus any ".sit" extension) in the folder containing the archive file, and the
- unstuffed files are placed in that new folder to help you locate them.
-
- As an aside, I _could_ have added a auto-stuff before send feature, but after
- doing so and testing it, I found that all too often it created problems
- with time-sensitive file transfer protocol startups, and so I hacked it back
- out.
-
- The other option in this dialog box will allow you to instruct the Stuffit
- engine to delete the original archive file after unstuffing it (either through
- auto-unstuffing through a protocol file receive, or by use of the File->
- Unstuff files menu choice).
-
- 4) I liked the dialog box I created for stuffing files (not to mention that
- the FolderBatch RCMD won't work under MultiFinder) so much, that I
- incorporated it in the File->Create Batch File menu choice. As when
- Stuffing files, you can add files to the Batch either one at a time, you
- can add the contents of a folder, or you can add files using a combination
- of these techniques. A scrolling list will show you which files will be
- specified in the Batch File.
-
- 5) Fixed bug in "Write Procedure For Me" that changed the XMODEM style
- erroneously.
