- Notes regarding APLINK Version 7.00 and Version 7.01
-
- 1. This version deletes the event log and the NTS message
- counting facility and replaces those functions with a new
- message log and summary report program.
-
- The new message log writes a file with the name MSGLOGnn.APS
- where nn is a two digit number representing the month (01
- through 12) in which it is written. A seperate program named
- SUMMARY.EXE reads a message log file and provides a summary of
- traffic activity. SUMMARY.EXE may be run at any time even while
- APLINK is running to show the totals for the current month or
- any previous month. SUMMARY.EXE does not write to any files.
-
- 2. The whole update process has been removed from APLINK code
- and made into a seperate stand alone program named UPDATE.EXE.
- At update time APLINK closes down and calls UPDATE.EXE which
- performs the update functions and then calls UPDATE.BAT if it is
- installed and then restarts APLINK.
-
- UPDATE.EXE may be called directly from the DOS command line IF
- APLINK IS NOT RUNNING.
-
- 3. Version 7.00 eliminates the ASCII command from the AMTOR
- channel. The full printing ascii set is transmitted if
- LOWERCASE=1 is set in APLINK.CNF. The default for LOWERCASE is
- set to 1.
-
- 4. A driver for the ICS AMT-3 AMTOR controller has been added.
-
- 5. Version 7.01 add the error threshold parameter for the
- PCI-3000. Set ERRTHLD=n where n is 0 thru 5. See PCI-3000
- doumentation for details.
-
- 6. In Version 7.01 a new command has been added to the AMTOR
- channel. A user marked MBO in the user file may execute the
- 'LP' command which lists all pending traffic.
-
- 7. The AMTOR channel CANCEL command has been modified so the
- sysop, if logged in under the station's own call, may cancel any
- message in the system.
