- └───────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- ■ Fixed a problem in RFW where RFW would beep when the user dropped
- the carrier. Caused many nights without good sleep, sorry;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem in RFWCFG. The alternate path setting would not
- occur when RA 1.11 was the choosen type of BBS;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem in RFW. 'N' would not work or would only work one
- time. Also memory trashing could occur;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem in RFW. '?' would trash the screen when used and
- user had to redraw the screen again;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem in RFW. RFW kept one file open, causing some small
- problems after running many times after each other;
-
- ■ Fixed a number of bad-spots in RFW which could all trash memory in
- some sort of way. No reports of hangups until now (at least not
- hangups that could be traced to RFW);
-
- ■ Keyword search would only display comments up to and including the
- line that contained the match. This is fixed. All multi-comment
- lines are now displayed;
-
- ■ Fixed ASCII mode again. Though many Sysop's are now talking about
- swapping to a full-ANSI only BBS right now, I will still include
- coding for those people who want to (or only can) run in ASCII
- mode;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem with the time-check. RFW would allow unlimited
- access (as long the user stayed in RFW). This is fixed;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem with SBBS CD-ROM entries. Previous versions would
- not detect any CD-ROM file;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem with the screen routines for screen-clear mode. In
- this mode the lines can be written until the last non-blank byte to
- gain speed but RFW was still writing the full 79 characters;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem where RFC/RFW could not find the linking RFC.ARE
- file if you changed the name of this file in either RFC or RFW;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem with RFCCFG. It is now allowed to leave the field
- for the alternate FILES.BBS files empty;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem with RFW where RFW would create a tag-file that
- would drive FileDoor <tm> wild;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem with RFW where [foobar] (not a counter) would cause
- wrong adjustments in the display;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem with RFWCFG and RFCCFG. These programs will now
- keep the original date/time and archive-bit when they patch RFW
- and/or RFC;
-
- ■ New-files scan would allow dates in the future, this is fixed;
-
- ■ RFWCFG would only display the right color and not the name. To help
- people with monochrome tubes or disabled people (those people who
- can not see any colors), the name of the actual color is now
- displayed;
-
- ■ Added options to allow both alternate date or number of days when a
- new-file scan is entered and the user does not want to scan from
- from the default date;
-
- ■ Added option to allow ESC while RFW is searching thru the database.
- In this case RFW is aborted;
-
- ■ Added a statusbar at the bottom of the local screen so the sysop
- can now always see who is using RFW and in what mode (the previous
- versions included a ALT-T mode, which is now obsolete);
-
- ■ Added a progress-bar so the user can see that RFW is searching in
- the database;
-
- ■ Added options in RFC and RFW to allow the user to scan for keywords
- INSIDE non-archived files;
-
- ■ Added option in RFW to allow the <V>iew of one or more files. RFW
- will call the specified viewing program. MTS <tm> will suit your
- needs in this matter as it can view both archived files and non
- archived files;
-
- ■ Changed the <N>ew option into <R>escan because it could confuse a
- user. The user would think that this option would display the new
- files. The old 'N' key is still allowed though;
-
- ■ Changed the location of the tag-marker. This marker (a '*') will
- now be displayed behind the tag-letter and before the filename.
- The previous versions would write the tag-marker behind the name of
- the file. This change was needed to allow the 'P' (protected file)
- to be displayed behind the filename;
-
- ■ Changed the recompile logic. CD-ROM areas have to be scanned only
- once and will be merged into the database at the next compile
- without having to access the CD-ROM itself. The SysOp can overrule
- this logic by using /ALL on the RFC command-line;
-
- ■ Changed the memory logic for the virtual array that RFW uses. The
- previous versions would assign a virtual array with a size equal to
- the total number of records in all areas. The current version will
- only use the actual number of records for a specific area. The
- logic is only changed for the file-list function and not for the
- keyword/file-search options and new-file scan. It can result in a
- dramatical gain in speed and reduced memory consumption;
-
- ■ Added options to allow RFW to display markers when files are free
- files and/or password protected files. You have to assign your
- FILES.CTL in RFCCFG.EXE to let this option work;
-
- ■ Added the /NFEMSI option to RFW to allow RFW to replace any
- internal EMSI new-file scan (with the help of a flag-test/flas-set
- program like I2FLG100.* by Hans Siemons);
-
- ■ Added TopEd, QuickEd and Maximus cursor-key protocols to RFW. RFW
- will interprete these cursor-empulations in the same way as you use
- the numeric pad;
-
- ■ Added configurable counter starting/ending characters. Though these
- are mainly for our Scandinavian friends, they could come in handy
- when you don't use '[' and ']' as these characters;
-
- ■ Added some logic to support the upcomming RA 1.20 release;
-
- ■ Added logic for Commercial, Closed-BBS and beta-testing
- registration keys;
-
- ■ Recompiled all programs under Borland Pascal 7.0 (real mode only,
- on request a DPMI version can be created), which should result in a
- gain in speed;
