│ Changes in TrackM 3.30 from 3.20 │
╘══════════════════════════════════╛
- some bugs in the 'Request Manager' in versions 3.24 - 2.26
are fixed.
WildCard request are functional now. They had never worked
before and it seems that nobody had activeted it until now.
NOTE: Once again , you CAN'T manage magic requests with the
requestmanager !!!
+ If you act as a gateway for another network (for example UUCP) you
should run a software that checks the correct addressing and syntax of
a message. If an error was found your software should mark the message
'ORPHAN'. TrackM will return this message to the sender. You can
define your own text for the returncomment in TRACKM.ORP.
And of course you will find it also in the internal TMSETUP fullscreen
editor.
+ A message 'readdressed' to your own primary address will be
checked once again for pointaddressing. So if you run with
two addresses in the nodelist, f.e. a normal address and a HUB-
address, mail will reach your points anyway if you readdress
to the system they are listed as points.
+ There is a OVR-Version of TrackM once again. In the past, the
OVR-version only saved 20 kB of memory and the normal TrackM
run in 190 kB of memory. Now TrackM needs 230 kb of memory but
the OVR version only 190 kb.
You can get the OVR-Version in requesting: TMOVR
NOTE: you will get the pure .EXE and .OVR files
+ TMSETUP will run in *ANY* videomode now up to 132*60 display.
It did run in all modes before but the screen did not look nice ;-)
+ You don't have to include your points in the nodelist setup.
When compiling the nodelist(s), TrackM will compile in your
points as defined in the Point-Manager at the first entrys
in the IDX file. Also your pointnet host is included in the
index
+ Increased the maximum number of nodelistentrys up to 26000 !!
This should solve anyones problem with nodeentrys for a long
time.
NOTE: Memory for nodelistentry is taken dynamicaly. That means
if you run a IDX file with more than 13000 entrys, TrackM
will get itself the next 64 KB of RAM.
+ Increased the maximum size of a message up to 32 KB. It was at
this size a long time ago. Now I got some bugreports with messages
in the range 20 - 27 kb. So 32 KB should do it anyway. I don't know
any editor that can handle messages with a bigger size.
+ Added names into the logfile
+ Totaly rewritten Pointremapping. 'OldPointNet' is not needed
anymore. A message to/from point should ever be correct regard-
less what adresses are in the from: and/or to: field.
BUT: You must have listed your points in the 'Pointmanager'
AND: You must have activate 'MatchFrom' and 'MatchTo'.
+ Increased the maximum number of messages that TrackM can handle
from 1000 to 2000.
+ Added sort in the 'Pointmanager'. If you leave the pointmanager
your points will be sorted in ascending order by their point#.
+ Added more info to tsexport like PointNet, RaxPoint etc.
+ After getting a file via the Request-Manager, TrackM
writes the filename, size, time etc. to a file called
TRACKMRQ.HIS.
The new commandline option LOOKHIS shows you the contents
of this file. This will make it more easy for you to share
the costs to your downlinks. There is a field 'costs' in
the history record but it will show zero all time. Computing
costs, depends on the mailer you are using. You will find the
structure of TRACKMRQ.HIS in the file STRUCT.320. That should
make it easy to update the costsfield for your mailer. There
will be a program that does this automaticaly for FrontDoor > 2.00.
+ Added new flag KFS in the Request-Manager. KFS means 'Kill file after
sending'.
NOTE: this will only work with a mailer supporting FLAGS,
namely FrontDoor and D'Bridge.
+ Nodes can add a password to filerequests in the
Request-Manager (see DOC)
+ Added Status 'Now' in the Requestmanager.
WARNING !!!! A 'STAT: Now' line in a requestmessages
will set the FLAG Immediate. That will
cause your system to immediate make the
request if you are using FrontDoor or
D'Bridge.
+ Think I've found a way to prevent TrackM from doing anything
twice. It does work on FrontDoor & Binkley systems! Please
report if you have any troubles with D'Bridge.
