- Here is an overview of new features and fixes in the latest release of
- RAFM, THE RemoteAccess File Manager!
-
- Added/Improved:
-
- - More support for CD-ROM! RAFM will now copy the files from CD-ROM
- to your convert-directory to improve CPS-rates. Also, RAFM will
- skip the areas located on CD-ROM in a newfile search and will not
- try to re-archive files in these areas.
- - Added support for FILE_ID.DIZ and DESC.SDI. When RAFM detects a
- valid description inside an archive, it will read this file and
- replace the current description.
- Optionally, you can let RAFM strip Hi-ASCII characters from this
- file.
- - You can now show hotkeys (and more) in a highlighted color using ^^
- in the language file.
- - A little utility called RAFMCD.EXE will convert your current
- Files.BBS listings to a special format. Using this program could
- make life much easier, especially for those using a CD-ROM.
- - RAFMCln 's Auto-Adopt routines have been slightly changed to accept
- the special listings created by RAFMCD.
- - Upload credits (both Time and Kb) are now expressed as a %, which
- enables using credits less than 100%.
- - Added a window which allows the Sysop to view, change, delete and
- add files from/to the tag-list ([Alt-T]).
- - The download selection routines now accept two more keys: A for ALL
- files and Q for Quit.
- - RAFM will not show the Netmail address anymore in the version
- information.
- - RAFMEdit will now jump to the first found file after a filename or
- keyword scan.
- - RAFMChk (NOT the internal re-archiving routines) can now add GIF
- specifications to the description.
- - Added .SQZ (Squeeze It) support.
- - The Auto-adopt routines still used the files- and listpaths from
- FILES.RA which was a little bit confusing. From now on, only the
- information in RAFMAREA.DAT will be used.
- - The 'Userdoes' prompts are now fully sysop-definable thru RAFMEdit.
- - Deleting files via RAFMEdit now has an OK-prompt in it (just try it
- onces).
- - You can now specify which action RAFM has to take when encountering
- an infected file.
- - Both RAFM and RAFMChk are now able to handle archives with embedded
- directories. These directories will now be saved in the newly

-
- created archive (provided that type of archive can hold
- directories).
- - RAFM no longer uses it's internal buffers. From now on, the fossil-
- buffers are filled completely, increasing the speed of building the
- local screen and maximizing the use of data-compression.
- - When you specify in RaConfig that you've locked your fossil, RAFM
- will now initialize the fossil at the locked speed.
- - Increased the speed of finding files to download. This only affects
- files which are tagged first.
- - Added support to remove unwanted files from archives (f.e. those
- stupid BBS-advertisements).
- - Shells from textfiles are now supported.
- - Removed the hardcoded CR/LF after displaying an .A?? screen. It's
- now your own responsibility to get the cursor to column 1 when
- necessary.
- - RAFM will now listen to the semaphore RAXITn.xxx. When found, RAFM
- will immediately exit to RA.
- - Menutype 48 (download a specific file) has been changed. By
- default, RAFM will use it's database to located the file, but when
- you add /F on the optional dataline, RAFM will directly send the
- specified files (you'll loose all special settings like free file
- etc.).
-
- Fixes:
-
- - When using the /L parameter, lockups could occur when entering your
- name in capitals
- - Pressing [Esc] during filetranfers (internal) now indeed aborts the
- transfer.
- - RAFM and RAFMChk would only check whether an archiver returned an
- errorlevel of 0, everything else would indicate a failure. Both
- programs now hold a complete lists of good and bad errorlevels.
- - ARJ archives with a security envelope weren't processed correctly
- (they would cause a 'not enough diskspace' error).
- - When a user dropped carrier when downloading files using the
- internal protocols, RAFM didn't count the already send files.
- - Internode messages are now displayed correctly.
- - RAFMAREA.A?? can now be stopped by pressing the [S] key.
- - Unarchived files weren't processed correctly when SHARE.EXE was
- loaded.
- - Pressing a 'sysop-key' ([Alt-C] f.e.) while building a menu would
- cause RAFM to wait for an extra key to be pressed.
- - After chatting, RAFM will now rebuild the screen.
- - Fixed problems with timer-functions on fast computers (486 etc.)
- - Fixed RAFMAll's display so large number of files won't cause an
- overflow anymore.
- - Hopefully fixed every problem with the linking routine.
- - RAFMCln's auto-adopt routines will no longer try to scan CD-ROM

- drives.
- - Made some changes to RAFMAll so the by now famous 204 error won't
- occure anymore (caused by not entering a filename, only a path in
- the list-names).
- - The Userdoes.xxx file will now be reset when the user returns to a
- menu.
- - Sometimes, RAFM would pass a negative download-KB to Bimodem. For
- Bimodem this means unlimited.
- - Adding /F in an upload command would place the file in the correct
- directory, however not in the correct area.
- - No Download Hours didn't function properly, in fact, it didn't
- function at all.
- - The *AF and *CF parameters (used with external protocols) would
- cause RAFM to crash in some cases.
- - The view archive option didn't always show which file was found
- when using wildcards.
- - When using a non-black background in a menu, RAFM would display the
- wrong foreground color (many thanks to Andrew Milner for changing
- specifications without letting anyone know ;-().
- - When NOT using the 'enter description before upload' feature, RAFM
- would make a mess of the file-description.
- - Xfer Priority didn't function properly. It only affected the
- downloadhours, but now RAFM will also ignore any downloadratios
- when this bit is set.
- - On-line re-archiving didn't listen to the various settings of each
- area.
- - When entering *.* in a filename-scan, RAFM would crash.
- - RAFM didn't send a clearscreen before the Time-Info menutype.
- - When you instructed RAFM NOT to re-archive SFX archives, RAFM would
- call the wrong archiver to add the comment.
