BOYAN 4.01 is a minor upgrade, offering the following enhancements and
corrections to BOYAN 4.0:
- The Script Learn feature, which can automatically create auto-logon
scripts even after you have logged off from a system, now works more
reliably in "weird" situations.
- In the Directory File Manager, when the highlight bar is on top of a
directory name, you may press <Enter> alone to switch into that
directory.
- In an external protocol download, pressing <PgDn> at the PATH:
prompt (why would you want to do that?!) no longer freezes the
keyboard.
- The Scroll-back buffer and Log to disk functions can now handle PC-
Board's "magical self-erasing prompts" properly.
- Lines longer than 80 characters will be wrapped, not truncated, in
the scroll-back buffer and log. (An exception to this rule is
during VT-100 emulation, if the "Wrap long lines" option is set to
NO.)
- Fixed a typo in Config Area A.
- <R>elaxed-Xmodem protocol will now work as advertised on all brands
of computers.
- The macro commands \B8+ and \B8- now work properly.
- If you stop an ASCII download by pressing <Esc>, BOYAN now reports
"terminated" instead of "unsuccessful".
- The PURSUIT.BSC script file will correctly handle all Pursuit ID
codes.
- The ANSI-BBS module will report cursor position on request from the
remote system. Some systems will issue this request to determine
whether you are using ANSI. It is still preferable to use the
VT-100 module in such situations, however, so that you can use the
VT-100's secondary keyset (arrow keys, function keys, etc.).
- The new address and BBS phone number for BOYAN Communications are
duly noted.
This version corrects all known bugs found in BOYAN version 4.0. Many
enhancements are currently underway, including support for new terminal
emulations, a password field in the Dialing Directory, and DOORWAY (remote
operation) support. Stay tuned!
