YaBom V1.10
What's New since 1.00
Berin Lautenbach
1.10 from 1.10ß/f
o Added the 'N' command to the outbound help screen. This is
NOT a new command, it was there all along, but wasn't well
documented. (Wasn't at all actually <GRIN>). The 'N' allows
you to redirect a packet to any node in any zone/domain
combination, not necessarily the current.
o Didn't support "direct" in route.cfg. Now supported.
o Added directories into the file search function. Can now move
around the disk while searching for files to send, as long as
those directories are within the file mask. I.e. selecting
c:\binkley\*.* will show all the directories off Binkley,
followed by all the files in the same directory.
o Fixed a STUPID bug that caused the manager to hang when
opening a packet with messages that contained a ^AFLAGS field.
o Added "F10" to the file search function, to allow use over
modem.
o Fixed up some of the share problems with the V7 nodelist. Now
opens everything in deny write mode, unless actually writing
to the file involved.
o Allowed for up to 24 outbound directories.
o Fixed cosmetic problems with the domain window and empty
outbound window.
o Will not put garbage on the screen when a message being viewed
contains a "%" character.
1.10ßf from 1.00
o Fixed a strange bug that just appeared one morning. YaBom
would delete the old packet when adding new mail to it. Made
for some VERY strange mail leaving the system.
o Fixed a MAJOR problem when YaBom was running under only one
domain. It would not recognise that one domain properly when
packing mail. (There was a memory allocation error that for
some reason only made problems under one domain).
o Added a nodelist lookup function when entering an address.
Pressing F2 will now bring up a list of nets in the current
domain and zone (providing YBNode has been run on the
nodelists). Choosing a net will bring up a list of nodes int
that net, and choosing a node will tell YaBom that is the
address you want. If the node in question also has points,
then these will be listed for selection. (The main node is
the first, so pressing return twice will select the node).
o Created the program YBNode to compile the nodelists for YaBom
to use. It must be run AFTER the V7 nodelist has been
compiled, and simply creates a list of nets in the nodelists.
(It compiles all the nodelists). No additional setup for this
program is needed, it runs from the YaBom configuration file.
o Completely re-wrote the outbound interface. Now has a menu
type system, where you move the line to the entry you want to
manipulate. Pressing Return will activate the default
function for that mail type (for instance opening mail and
file attaches and going into a points directory).
o Added sorting on the outbound area.
o Added a help line to YBConfig - it now tells you what the
entry is for.
o YaBom now has the ability to edit certain fields in the V7
nodelist entries - these are the password, phone number, modem
flags and general flags fields.
o Fixed a problem of choosing the right domain. Previously
YaBom was always assuming that the Zone field in a message
header was correctly filled out. It turns out it isn't :>.
YaBom now tries to match a net with a zone, and if it fails,
it uses the main zone of your address list. This will
automatically be overridden by an INTL or MSGID kludge line.
o 'N' on a packet in the outbound area will re-route the packet
to a new destination, including a new zone.
o Del on a file attach now checks if there are any files that
need to be truncated and/or deleted in the ?LO file. If so
asks the user if they should be.
o New command line options for starting up YaBom in the outbound
area :
YABOM 3 - Start in the first zone 3 outbound found
YABOM 3 fidonet - Force startup in zone 3 of fidonet
At this point in time, YaBom exits from the outbound straight
back to DOS.
o You can now create progress files from the main menu. And
progress files now show up in the outbound area.
o YaBom can create point and zone directories
Known Bugs
o When a new zone directory is created, the change is not noted
in the domain menu. Exit and restart YaBom for the changes to
take effect.
o File sharing only exists in the YBNode - it will open the
index files in deny-write mode, allowing others to read.
However, the outbound manager opens EVERYTHING in deny all
mode.
o Has a tendency to do funny things when it runs out of memory.
If windows fail to open properly, then YaBom has run out of
memory.
