This is now fixed. 4) There are two new EZ-Reader variables, @TO@ and @FROM@. These two variables are substitued with the names in the To and From fields of the current or last message read. They can be in any Hot Key string or any of the program (Editor, PKZIP, etc) command strings. 5) The @CONF@ variable is now active when saving a message. You will have to run CONFIG and modify the Save Path to a Save Filename. Enter a complete filename here. You may use @CONF@. For example: Save File: C:\EZ\@CONF@.TXT == 02-01-90 ======================================================== EZ-Reader v1.26 is released. 1) EZ-Reader handles lines longer than 72 chars better now. Quoted lines are truncated to 72 chars. If a line is found longer than 72 chars you will be asked if you want to re-edit the message. If you answer NO, the lines will be truncated to 72 chars. 2) You can now have the Message Information Window appear before and after you enter a message. == 01-20-90 ======================================================== EZ-Reader v1.25 is released. 1) EZ-Reader is now a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals, (ASP). The ASP maintains a high standard for shareware. All ASP software meets and exceeds these high standards. 2) Lines longer than 72 chars will be wrapped to the next line. This maintains the PC Board limits of 72 chars per line. 3) Messages longer than 96 lines will be continued to the nextï╨╙â·u╕ë\ï┘ï╧3└_^├ïF<u 1) Fixes the major bug in version 1.22 that caused lockups. 2) Keeps track of the number of messages that are marked and unmarked. So if you unmark all of your marked messages, EZ-Reader won't ask you to save the marked messages. 3) Imposes a 96 line and 72 column limit on all messages entered with EZ-Reader. This was added to be more compatible with PC Board. 4) Replying to a killed message will no longer unkill that message. Message remain killed unless you unkill them. 5) Fixed Conference Selection Menu so that it will now go to the next page when you reach the end of the page. It will also go to the previous page when you cursor past the first conference on the page. 6) The Individual Message Window nw has titles. 7) Made other minor cosmetic changes. Most you probably won't recognize. == 09-23-89 ======================================================== EZ-Reader v1.22 is released. 1) No longer treats the variables #user# and #first# as their @ variable counter parts. 2) Will not erase all files in the WORK subdirectory. EZ-Reader 1.22 will only erase the files with these extensions: NDX, RD, PNT, PTR, MSG, DAT and these filenames: BOOKMARK, BLT*.*, and QMENU*. If EZ-Reader finds files after all of these are erased, it will ask you if you want to delete the remaining files. 3) EZ-Reader 1.22 will remove killed replies from your reply file before compressing the replies. 4) Fixed the color bug from Reset Conference. If you Reset a conference's high message pointer, the conference menu background became the same color as the Reset window. This has been fixed. 5) Added more code for the compression method determination when using the -q (quick entry) switch. It checks for files with filenames the same as the BBS Id and extensions of QWK, REP, and OLD. 6) Added extended error codes for PKZIP and PKUNZIP. Now if EZ-Reader fails when ZIPping or UNZIPping a mail packet or reply packet, EZ-Reader reports why it failed. 7) Adds User stats option. Users who call a BBS running PCB 14.2 and MarkMail or Qmail 3.00 will be able to view their caller statistics with the U command from either the Conference Menu or the Main Menu. 8) The problem with Script0 has been fixed. If you never noticed this, you never had a problem with it. <grin> 9) Added support for Dan Moore's John Hancock (JH). John Hancock is a complete tagline manager system. It allows you to have multiple tagline files. If you register JH ($10), Dan will send you RobbinEZ, a program that allows you to steal other people's taglines. 10) Added a new variable, @CONF@, to the Editor command string and the Hot Keys command string. This new variable substitutes the current conference name into the string, with the Main Board becoming MAIN. This was added so that you could quickly load tagline files into JH. ***** How To Use John Hancock ***** Put all of your JH files into your EZ-Reader subdirectory. When you run EZ-Reader it will copy all of the neccessary JH files into the work directory. You must call JH like this: D:\ez\jh D:\ez\ or like this D:\ez\jh D:\ez\ez.tag The first method tells JH to load the default tagline file from the EZ subdirectory on drive D. The second method tells JH to immedialtely load the tagline file EZ.TAG from the EZ subdirectory on drive D. JH must be run before your message is complete. The EZiest way to run JH is from a batch file used to call your editor. This is how I have mine set up. Editor: !ed Options: /Mc:\pe\mail.mac @CONF@ Reply: REPLY.TXT Message: MESSAGE.TXT Does your editor accept two filenames [Y/N]? Y EZ-Reader will take these options and assemble them like this: !ed REPLY.TXT MESSAGE.TXT /Mc:\pe\mail.mac @CONF@ ││ │ │ │ └──────────────┐ ││ │ │ │ Substitute conference name ─┘ ││ │ │ └─ Editor options ││ │ └─ Name of the message file ││ └─ Name of the reply file │└─ Name of editor batch file └── Use Switch! EZ-Reader calls the batch file ED via Switch!. My ED.BAT file looks like this: @echo off pe2 %1 %2 %3 if exist d:\ez\%4.TAG goto FOUND d:\ez\jh d:\ez\ goto END :FOUND d:\ez\jh d:\ez\%4.TAG :END My editor, pEdit, is called with the first three arguments, REPLY.TXT (%1), MESSAGE.TXT (%2), and /Mc:\pe\mail.mac (%3). Then the batch file checks to see if there is a tagline file that belongs to the current conference (%4). If the conference tagline file exists, then John Hancock is called and the conference tagline is loaded immediately. If there is not conference tagline file, then John Hancock is called with the default. ***** How To Use Robbin EZ ***** RobbinEZ is a companion program to John Hancock that you receive when you register John Hancock ($10). RobbinEZ allows you to steal other peoples taglines. To use RobbinEZ you first need to Save a message, call RobbinEZ, and finally delete the Saved file. I save the message with the tagline I want to steal with the S command. I give it a new name in my work directory. Then I call RobbinEZ form the Hot Key Alt-R that I have setup. When I hit Alt-R, EZ-Reader runs a batch file called JHSTEAL.BAT. JHSTEAL.BAT looks like this: @echo on d:\ez\robbinez jhsteal.txt d:\ez\jhsteal.tag del %1 │ │ File that contains the │ tagline you want to └ Puts stolen tagline in this steal tagline file RobbinEZ places the stolen tagline, from jhsteal.txt, in the tagline file jhsteal.tag in the subdirectory EZ on drive D. == 08-04-89 ======================================================== EZ-Reader v1.21 is released. 1) Fixed the NEWS bug in 1.20. 2) Converts the altered PC Board 14.2 variables #USER# and #FIRST# to @USER@ and @FIRST@. == 07-29-89 ======================================================== EZ-Reader v1.20 is released. 1) Some commands have been changed. The <A>rchive command has been changed to <S>ave marked messages. The <Q>uit command has been changed to <E>xit and save replies. 2) ADD conferences. From the conference menu you may add a conference with the <A> command. Highlight the conference you want to ADD and press <A>. The status line will tell you that you are adding conference ....... 3) DROP conferences. From the conference menu you may drop a conference with the <D> command. Highlight the conference you want to DROP and press <D>. The status line will tell you that you are dropping conference ....... 4) RESET message pointers in a conference. From the conference menu you may reset a conference last read pointer with the <R> command. Highlight the conference you want to RESET and press <R>. A window will pop up and ask you what message number you want to reset the pointer to. The status line will tell you that you are resetting conference ....... last read pointer to ..... 5) Quick Message Entry will now unarchive any replies you have for the selected BBS. 6) I am giving you the option of adding taglines to each message. You can turn off the taglines by setting the flag inside CONFIG. <F7> will toggle the tagline switch. 7) Unregistered copies will require the user to press <F10> on the openning screen. 8) The addition of Curtis Little's Switch! Switch! allows you to save the current program to either disk or EMS. Switch! uses approximately 12K of memory. With Switch! you can load TSRs and upon return to EZ-Reader, the TSRs will be unloaded. This will be great for those who wish to load Turbo Lightning with their editor. To use Switch!, place the ! character at the beginning of the Editor, Arc, Zip programs and as the 1st character for Hot Keys. The first example will execute Switch! and then run Qedit. Any TSRs that have been loaded will be unloaded upon returning to EZ-Reader. Editor: !Q.EXE If you haven't enough memory available to run PKZIP, but you have disk space or unused EMS, you can do this: Zip: !PKZIP -ex ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Switch! will not work with EMSIM by Kam & Associates. │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ 9) Sysops may change the From label in the header of each message. This will enable you to send a message from SYSOP instead of your given name. This is done when the sysop name and the user name (both listed in CONTROL.DAT) is the same. Or when you specify the command switch -S. 10) Leaving the TO field blank in the message information window will default to 'ALL'. 11) Added support for PC Board 14.2 @ variables. All @ variables are supported. However you may not enter any @ variables in the TO field for any message, unless you are a Sysop. 12) Added three EZ-Reader @ variables to the tagline. These @ variables are substituted in the tagline when the message is saved. They are: @DAY@ - prints the day of the week (e.g. Monday) @DATE@ - prints today's date in the format MM/DD/YY @TIME@ - prints the current time in HH:MM am/pm format 13) In the Conference menu the <Tab> and <Shift-Tab> keys will move the highlight bar among those conference that have messages. <Tab> moves forward and <Shift-Tab> moves backward. 14) New Conference Menu supports up to 256 conferences. 15) Reduced bulletin line limit from 300 to 250 to accomodate the extra 128 conferences supported by Qmail 3.00. 16) Corrected the individual command. It now correctly positions the cursor on the current message. 17) Changed the Mail List character from @ to # to accomodate the PC Board 14.2 variables. == 05-19-89 ======================================================== EZ-Reader v1.14 is released. 1) Correctly marks messages in the Bulk mark command. 2) Auto-increments the cursor to highlight the next Qmail packet. 3) New command. The Jimmy Pearson command. The new command is <G>o Back. It will take you back one message without changing the current direction. 4) Allows lowercase subject lines. == 04-26-89 ======================================================== EZ-Reader v1.13 is released. 1) Resets correct color attribute after viewing the openning screen, news, and the closing screen. 2) Makes correct Configuration file. == 04-13-89 ======================================================== EZ-Reader v1.12 is released. 1) Corrected bug in Reply header when BBS has a long name. 2) Resets correct color attribute after viewing the openning screen, news, and the closing screen. == 03-28-89 ======================================================== EZ-Reader v1.11 is released. 1) Accepts a longer BBS name so that it will work with Qmail Door 3.0. 2) EZ-Junior released.
