MsgTrack 3.20
Release Notes
Copyright (c) 1989-1991 Andrew D. Farmer.
All rights reserved.
------------------------------------------------------------
INTL lines will now be placed into messages if either of
the following conditions are met:
1) the origin and destination zones are different.
2) the destination zone and your =primary= zone are
different.
New config option "Force INTL Line".
You can now stop MsgTrack dead in its tracks <g> by
pressing F10 while it is running. You cannot abort while MT
is renumbering messages, or during a nodelist complile.
Changed the 'look' of MTSetup and Full Screen Mode.
Fixed a memory allocation bug in the Nodelist compiler.
New environment variable setting AFIOPT=LOTEK_RES. Use
only if needed.
MsgTrack will no longer process messages that are from
'ARCmail' or 'Tick' at one of your addresses. This can be
overridden with the new -A command line switch.
MSGTRACK.IDX has been renamed to NODELIST.MTX.
There are 3 new commands in the Setup Input Editor, Ctrl-Y
clears the field, Ctrl-End deletes to End-of-Line and Ins
toggles insert mode.
For those running in a network (or multi-tasking)
situation, please note the following information on how MT
opens files:
System files .................. Read Only, Deny Write
NODELIST.MTX (standard run) ... Read Only, Deny Write
NODELIST.MTX (compile) ........ Read/Write, Deny All
Raw Nodelists (compile) ....... Text, Read Only, Compat
There are two new log levels, 'Other Errors' and 'Trivial
Messages'.
At compile time, MsgTrack will now report the total number
of nodes compiled into the Index as a 'Trivial' log file
entry.
New commercial config option 'Move Rcvd Msgs'.
New commercial config option 'RcvdMsgs' on the
General->Paths menu.
Cleaned up the INTL line parsing.
Changed the meaning of the -S command line option.
Removed the -V command line option.
Renumbering is now reported as a Trivial (-) log entry.
New commercial config option 'Process Packets' on the
Misc->Action menu.
MsgTrack now supports the D'Bridge log file format. There
is one potential difference between MT's D'Bridge style log
and a real D'Bridge log. MsgTrack uses Country Code
information to select date format, date seperation
characters and time seperation characters and I seriously
doubt that D'Bridge does this. Also: D'Bridge does not use
a 'priority' symbol (ie: *, +, -, etc) in its log entries,
so MT includes the priority symbol as part of the data
portion of the log entry.
MTSetup now has relatively complete mouse support.
The 'Originally Addressed to' address, on a NodeMap, is now
reported as a Routine Action log entry.
Wilcarding of NAMES is now possible in both the Point
Manager and the Node Manager. You can only wildcard the
END of a name. To do so, place an asterix (*) following
the name string. Example: If you entered the name
"andre*" (sans quotes), messages to "andrew farmer", "Andre
Gagnon" or "Andrea Johnson" would all trigger the action.
Fixed problem with MT sometimes striping kludge lines.
New config option, General->Paths->Semaphore. This is
where MT will place semaphore files, such as the FrontDoor
rescan files. If this path is not specified, then use of
the 'FrontDoor Rescan' option will place the rescan files
in the AFI environment directory.
The 'FrontDoor Rescan' option is no longer limited to the
commercial version.
New commercial command line option -S. This causes MT
not to log the subject line in 'Message Info' log entries.
Changed the EchoMail bounce logic to only include the
header and trailer, not the entire text, in the bounce
message.
Slightly redesigned the structure of logfile data.
The AREA tag of bounced EchoMail messages is now loged.
New command line option -L. If used, it tells MT to
=never= bounce messages that were entered locally.
New config option, Misc->Action->Bounce Local Msgs. If set
to 'NO', it tells MT to =never= bounce messages that were
entered locally.
When MsgTrack bounces a message from "UUCP", it will now
take the contents of the "From:" line in the message text
and place it into a "To:" line.
New commercial Manager, Routing. This allows you to
specify addresses/names that you wish to disallow routed
mail from/to.
New commercial config option, "Misc->Action->Kill Inbound
Freq". If used, this causes MT to kill (delete) any
File/Update request messages that are addressed to your
system.
New commercial config sub-menu, Actions->Bad UUCP Handler.
This menu is only of any real use to UUCP gateway sites.
You may now define your own 'bounce text' for EchoMail,
Destination Unlisted and Bad UUCP bounces. The files
ECHOMAIL.MTB, BAD_DEST.MTB and BAD_UUCP.MTB will be
searched for in either the current directory or the AFI
environment path. If found, they will be used for the text
of the bounce messages. If they are not found, the default
hard-coded text will be used.
If DESQview is detected, MT and MTSETUP will now use the
"shadow buffer" for direct screen writes. Therefore,
anyone running MT under DV can now safely set "writes
directly to screen" to NO.
New configuration option "Rename aliases to primary" is
accessed by hitting F1 on the General->Sysops menu. If set
to 'Yes', then any messages arriving addressed to sysop
names #2 thru #5 will be changed so that they are addressed
to sysop name #1. There is no 'on screen' notification
when a message dest is changed by this function, but there
is a one-liner in the log.
MTSETUP will now 'swap' out of memory when you shell to
DOS. Less than 5K of MTSETUP will remain resident. EMS
will be used, if found.
When node maping a 'boss' address (.0), MT will now also
readdress any messages to points of that address. The
original point address (TOPT) will NEVER be retained.
The 'file attach stripped' line is now visible, at the top
of the message.
A new utility, MTLOG.EXE, is provided to analyze MsgTrack
log files.
