UPGRADING TO ROBOCOMM 3.1 FROM ROBOCOMM 3.0
-------------------------------------------
ROBO31-U.ZIP is the upgrade kit for Robocomm 3.0 users. To install
these files, simply copy ROBO31-U.ZIP into your existing Robocomm
subdirectory and issue the following command at the DOS prompt:
PKUNZIP -o ROBO31-U
That's all there is to it. Have fun with version 3.1! Don't forget
that "instant gratification" registration with Visa and MasterCard is
available by typing ORDER at the main board prompt on Group One BBS.
(213/556-3894 - HST - Los Angeles, CA) You'll be able to download your
own personalized ROBOUSR.DEF file within minutes of logging on!
ROBOCOMM 3.1 CHANGES 05/23/91
============================================================================
o Added a configuration option to the "General" configuration
screen that controls Robocomm's behavior when it connects with a
BBS at a speed slower than is configured on the BBS screen. If
"Allow connects at lower speed" is set to NO then Robocomm will
hang up if it connects at a speed slower than it expected. The
default for this setting is YES.
NOTE: "CONNECT 9600" (and above) messages are accepted whenever
the configured speed for the BBS is set at 9600, 19200 or 38400.
NOTE: For this option to work, your modem must be configured to
report the connect speed as part of its CONNECT message.
o Added a configuration option to the "General" configuration menu
that controls the time stamp that is applied to the files
Robocomm downloads using its internal protocols. IF "Keep BBS
file's time stamp" is set to YES then the file on your disk will
have the same time/date stamp as the file on the BBS. If it's
set to NO, then Robocomm will apply the current system date/time
to the file.
o Added "Filter Words" menu option to the configuration menu. You
can now enter up to 10 words which will be compared against new
file listings as they are imported. Any file which contains one
or more of the filter words in its file name and/or description
will be bypassed, rather than imported. For example, to get rid
of GIFs in your file listings, specify .GIF (note the period) as
a filter word. If you're not interested in Windows related
files, then you might enter words such as WINDOWS and WIN 3.0 to
the list. This feature uses a straight text comparison, no
wildcard expansion is supported.
o Added "Preference Words" menu option to the configuration menu.
When Robocomm imports files listings, any file which contains a
preference word in its name or description will automatically be
tagged with "Keep" status.
o Changed status log entries to indicate preference files and
filtered out files when parsing new files lists.
o Added routine to allow updating of help screens through
automatic upgrade procedures.
o Fixed cursor weirdness experienced on some systems when shelling
to DOS.
o Enabled the XON-XOFF handshaking option.
o Fixed problem where you could not do a YMODEM-G download when
downloading mail from a QWK door.
o Changed the default on capture commands to APPEND mode instead
of overwrite mode.
o Fixed QWK packet download routines to alleviate the erratic
behavior experienced by some users on the "Do you want to
receive this packet" prompt.
o Modified online "V" message to display the registered user's name.
o Changed verbose log routine so Robocomm status messages will
always appear by themselves on a line.
o Added a 3 second "Clearing" period after any unsuccessful dial
to alleviate "failed call" problems caused by USR Dual Standard
modems which send a NO CARRIER after sending a BUSY.
o Fixed problem in the qmail download routines where the "No
packet to receive" message would be repeated many times.
o Modified the comm routines to allow non-standard (I know there
is no standard -- How about "non-pseudo-standard") IRQ and
base addresses for com 3 and 4.
