╤╫╦╥╥ ╓4.30 UPGRADE NOTES. (╙UBTITLE - ╥OD'S RAVINGS)
21 ╩UN 1994
╞IRST AND FOREMOST, ╘HOSE OF YOU UPGRADING FROM ╓3.X SHOULD TREAT THIS
UPGRADE AS COMPLETELY NEW. ╘HERE HAVE BEEN MANY, MANY CHANGES SINCE
THEN.
╞OR THOSE UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS ╓4.X VERSIONS THIS TEXT WILL DETAIL
SOME OF THE CHANGES.
┬EFORE YOU PROCEDE ANY FURTHER YOU SHOULD DELETE YOUR OLD DEFAULTS FILE
FROM YOUR DISK. ╔T IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THIS UPGRADE.
╘HERE HAVE ALSO BEEN CHANGES TO THE CHARACTER SETS. ╙PECIFICALLY THE
LEFT QUOTE AND TILDES HAVE BEEN REVERSED. ╔ SUGGEST YOU REPLACE YOUR
OLD CHARACTER SETS WITH THE NEW SETS SUPPLIED.
┴LSO, IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A MAIL PACKET ON THE GO, ─╧ ╬╧╘ FINISH IT OFF
WITH THIS UPGRADE. ╘HERE HAVE BEEN MINOR CHANGES IN THE <BBSID>.╥XXX
FILES RENDERING THEM INCOMPATIBLE.
╧╦, THATS THE "IMPORTANT" STUFF OUT THE WAY.. NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF.
:-)
╘HIS UPGRADE WAS PRIMARILY INTENDED TO FIX A BUG OR TWO THAT WAS FOUND
IN ╓4.2. ╙INCE THESE BUGS DIDN'T AFFECT MOST PEOPLE ╔ HAVE FINISHED UP
ADDING A FEW NEW FEATURES TO MAKE THIS A WORTHWHILE UPGRADE FOR ALL
╤╫╦╥╥ FANS. :-)
╔ HAVE UNDOUBTABLY CREATED NEW BUGS IN THE PROCESS, SO ╔ EXPECT ╔'LL BE
INFORMED OF THEM AS AND WHEN THEY ARE FOUND.
┴S FOR THE NEW FEATURES..
╘HE "BIGGEST" OF THESE IS UNDOUBTABLY THE KEYBOARD MACRO'S. - ╙EE THE
MAIN DOCUMENTATION, OR EVEN THE HELP FILE (IF INCLUDED) FOR DETAILS ON
HOW TO USE THESE.
╙INCE THESE MACRO'S HAVE MADE THE OLD ╞KEY FUNCTIONS OBSOLETE THESE
KEYS ARE NOW USED TO ACCESS THE ╘AGLINES, ╘WITS, ┴DDRESS, ═ACRO AND
╧PTIONS MENUS. ╘HESE FUNCTIONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FROM ALMOST ANYWHERE
IN THE PROGRAM.
┘OU CAN SCRATCH YOUR OLD ╤╫╦╦.<NAME> FILES. ╘HEY ARE NO LONGER USED.
╘HE ╞2, ╞4, ╞6, AND ╞8 ╦EYS NOW SERVE A DUAL PURPOSE. ╫HILST READING
THEY WILL ALL BRING UP THE OPTIONS MENU. ╫HILST REPLYING, THESE KEYS
ARE DYNAMICALLY ASSIGNED TO CREATE MACROS FOR THE NAMES IN THE TO/FROM
AND SUBJECT FIELDS OF THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE.
╔ HAVE ALSO ADDED PARALLEL CABLE PRINTER SUPPORT, AND A SCREEN SAVER
FEATURE TO THIS VERSION - ╥EAD THE DOCS FOR MORE INFO.
╔ HAVE ADDED AT LEAST ONE OTHER FEATURE TO THIS UPGRADE, BUT ╔ HAVE
DECIDED TO NOT TELL YOU ABOUT IT. ┘OU WILL EITHER HAVE TO DISCOVER IT
ACCIDENTLY, OR READ THE DOC'S. ;-)
╔N PREVIOUS VERSIONS ╔ HAVE USED THIS SPACE TO ISSUE CUSTOMISING POKES.
╘HESE ARE USUALLY LOCATED BY ME AS THE FINAL PROGRAM GOES OUT THE DOOR.
╚OWEVER, ╔ HAVE NOW STANDARDISED SOME OF THESE POKES, SO IF YOU WISH
╤╫╦╥╥ TO PERFORM A WARM RESET ON EXIT, OR IF YOU WISH IT TO IGNORE A
DISK DRIVE OR INTERFACE, OR SET THE TIME FOR THE SCREEN BLANKING, THEN
YOU WILL NEED TO READ THE MAIN DOC'S. (┼VER GET THE FEELING THAT ╔'M
TELLING YOU SOMETHING?)
╫ELL FOLKS, ╘HATS ABOUT ALL ╔ HAVE TO SAY REALLY.. ╘HANKS FOR YOUR
SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK.. ┘OU MAY NOW BOOT UP ╤╫╦╥╥ ╓4.30 AND ┼╬╩╧┘ !
├HEERS
