                   NEW&FIXD.DOC Intellicomm New Features/Fixes
       Copyright (C) 1991-1992 Liberation Enterprises.  All rights reserved.

     This is a rather large upgrade of Intellicomm, and along with some
     significant new features, ALL reported bugs have been fixed (or looked
     over/tinkered with, if we couldn't reproduce the problem).   Was the
     product not in preliminary release at present (v0.9), a major version
     number would have been bumped (from v1.0x to v1.10... these 'major'
     releases don't require any upgrade fees but do signify fairly major
     changes), but we don't want to do this as yet, as it may lead you to
     believe the product is out of testing -- it is not.

     If you run into a bug from v0.92/93 that isn't fixed in v0.94, PLEASE
     delete the previous release entirely (including all data files) and
     start from scratch with v0.94.  Many times due to bugs, data files can
     be corrupted (or configured improperly by the user in an attempt to
     create a work-around), and you could simply carry the problem to v0.94
     if you don't start fresh.  Try using your old data files first, by all
     means, but if you do encounter similar problems as you had with 0.92/93,
     the fault may lie in your old data files, and a fresh start will be
     necessary.

     Quite a few new features have been introduced, and we encourage you to
     read this document (just a few pages) so you can learn how to use them
     properly.  Starting Intellicomm and muddling around, you will surely
     miss many of the new items and/or may not realize what they're for and
     gloss over them and missing out on all the fun.  Reading this document
     WILL be worth your while!

     TO UPGRADE TO V0.94:  Simply enter the command "GO" (no quotes) from the
     DOS prompt, and when asked for a directory to install in, enter the
     directory where your existing copy of Intellicomm resides.  ONLY those
     files that need adding/replacing will be installed, and your existing
     .INIs, etc., will not be touched.  If/when the install routines replace
     an older file, the old file will be renamed to *.OLD (only if installing
     to drive C: or greater... floppy users should have a backup of their old
     disk), so you will have a backup in case something goes wrong.  Once
     you're sure everything is working properly (and once you check that
     nothing important has been renamed to *.OLD), remember to delete *.OLD
     from the \ICOM, \ICOM\BIF, \ICOM\SCR directories.

     NOTE that your old File Tagger catalogs MUST BE CONVERTED to v0.94
     format, and the Tagger will automatically do this the first time the
     catalogs they are accessed.  NO .OLD backups are made of the existing
     catalogs, so if you do wish to keep the old format catalogs for some
     reason, please make a backup before you access the v0.94 Tagger.  If
     there are problems converting your old catalogs, they may have been
     corrupted due to bugs in older versions of the File Tagger.  If this is
     the case, your best bet is to delete the catalog(s) and start fresh.

     ALTERNATE - STARTING FRESH WITH V0.94:  If you would rather start fresh
     with v0.94, simply specify a brand new directory (C:\ICOM094, etc.) when
     asked where to install to.  Then perhaps later, copy some of your
     previous data files (BIFs) from the old Icom release to the new
     directory -- keeping in mind that by using old data files, you could be
     moving a previous problem into v0.94 (please don't let this concern you
     now, but do keep it in mind IF you run into problems later; remember to
     delete the old data files and start from scratch).




     Intellicomm v0.94             NEW&FIXD.DOC                             2



     V0.94 DOCUMENTATION:  The documentation is essentially unchanged since
     v0.92 other than the version numbers, so you needn't re-print anything
     (other than perhaps this file).

     TECHNICAL SUPPORT:  If you have a problem, complement, suggestion, or
     question about Intellicomm please contact ALL or WAYNE DUFF in any
     echoed Intellicomm or Liberator Support conference on your local BBS.
     Intellicomm echoes are available on NorthAmeriNet, RelayNet/RIME, and
     soon on SmartNet and U'NI-net (the Liberator echo will be renamed).  [If
     the BBS you call picks up one or more of the above networks and does not
     carry the Intellicomm/Liberator conference, just ask your Sysop to pick
     it up for you.]  I also monitor Communications/Telecommunications and
     Shareware echoes on the above networks plus EchoNet, ILink and Intelec.
     Intellicomm support is free to all for the asking.


     VERSION 0.94 NEW FEATURES/UPGRADE TIPS  (Bug fixes in next section.)


     o First off, a "Menu Style" option has been added to the main setup, on
       the "Screen/File Transfer" screen, which changes the way both
       Intellicomm and the File Tagger appear, should you get bored with the
       way things look.  The default menu style is double line on monochrome
       displays, and a half-thickness line on color displays.  You may change
       the Menu Style by running the SETUP.EXE program, changing to the
       Screen/File Transfer screen, selecting "Edit" on the 'Menu
       Style/Colors' item, then pressing Enter or Return (or clicking your
       mouse) to cycle through the various Menu Styles.  There are five menu
       styles available altogether.  Note that the half-thickness line format
       looks odd with certain color combinations.  Play with the "Border"
       color after setting half-thickness menu format, to choose a color that
       looks good on your display.

     o A "View Date" item has been added to the Tagger, which allows you to
       filter out records with a CATALOG DATE older than the View Date (the
       CATALOG DATE is the date the file was added to the catalog).  I.e.
       while browsing through your catalogs (each catalog stores its own View
       Date), if you don't want to see any files from the last import, you
       may simply set a view date -later- than the previous import date, and
       none of the older files will be displayed on the screen in either
       Browse mode or Edit mode.

       Combine this with the new "Auto View Date" item in the Tagger's main
       setup, which automatically sets the View Date to the current date on
       new imports, and you will never have to weed through old files again.
       Note that you may also set/save each catalog's View Date manually
       whenever necessary, through the Tagger's "Tools" menu.  If you don't
       wish to use View Dates, simply turn off the "Auto View Date" item in
       the Tagger's main setup, then manually set your catalog(s) to a View
       Date of 01/01/90, or something similar, and ALL records will always be
       visible.

     o "Bookmarks" have also been added to each catalog, allowing you save
       your position and exit the catalog without losing your place!  The




     Intellicomm v0.94             NEW&FIXD.DOC                             3



       next time you load the catalog, you will immediately move to the saved
       Bookmark position.

       Combined with the new "Auto Bookmarks" item, in the Tagger's main
       setup, Bookmarks are saved/cleared without you even having to think
       about them.  With Auto Bookmarks turned on, the Tagger will
       automatically save your position every time you exit a catalog (or
       Load a new catalog for viewing), and will automatically CLEAR your
       bookmark whenever a new import takes place, so that you'll always
       start at the top after an import.  If you shut Auto Bookmarks off for
       some reason, you may still set/clear Bookmarks manually through the
       Tagger's "Tools" menu.

     o The speed of importing *.NEW lists to the Tagger been dramatically
       cut, along with Packing times.  On one test we ran, an import/pack of
       a 5000-line .NEW list (to empty catalogs) took over three hours to
       import using v0.93, and just over five MINUTES with v0.94.  Not
       everyone will see such a dramatic increase in speed, as it depends on
       your catalog size/the size of the lists you normally import -- but you
       will see a noticeable improvement.  Whether you perform imports while
       you're out/sleeping or not (and aren't concerned with import times),
       the wear and tear on your hard drive will be much less... which
       certainly can't hurt.

     o Though use of the indexes was actually expanded for better sorting and
       to support the View Date item, your index files (*.NDX) will be
       slightly -smaller- under v0.94, since index keys are now stored more
       compactly.

     o Duplicate checking in the File Tagger is now much smarter and more
       flexible.  You may now set "D/L Priority" items in each BIF (see the
       "Bank/List" screen in the BIF Editor), to tell the Tagger where the
       most desirable BBS's are for downloading files.  Duplicate files found
       on a New Files list will either be ignored or REPLACED in your
       catalog, depending on the priority level set in the BIF.  Priority
       level 0 is the lowest priority, and is the default ... You needn't do
       anything to any of your BIFs to set the priority to 0 -- it's already
       done.  If you set a priority number of 1 or higher in a given BIF,
       then whenever a duplicate file is found for that particular BBS, it
       will replace the existing record in your catalog.  Priority 1 is the
       highest, priority 2 is next... on up to thirty odd thousand.  The
       Tagger will also now import *.NEW lists in ORDER, from the highest
       priority to the lowest, to avoid replacing multitudes of records.

       The purpose of this feature is to set priories according to whether
       the BBS is local vs. long-distance, and how much online time and/or
       download bytes you have available per day at a given BBS.  If you have
       lots of time/download bytes per day on a local BBS, that BIF should be
       set to priority 1.  A local BBS where you have less time might then be
       set to priority 2, and you may choose to then just leave all the other
       BIF's at priority 0 (as is).  Duplicate files that exist on the
       priority 1 or 2 BBS will ALWAYS be downloaded from those boards, and
       the priority 0 BBS's will contain only unique files that you can't
       obtain from higher priority BBS's.  You, of course, CAN set a specific




     Intellicomm v0.94             NEW&FIXD.DOC                             4



       priority for each BIF if you want, but it may be somewhat confusing to
       set up, unless you use a piece of paper to keep track of everything
       during the setup stages.  If you do choose to do this, we recommend
       that you increment the priorities by 5 or so between each BIF (1, 5,
       10, etc.), to allow for easy insertion of new BIFs later.

       NOTE: If a duplicate file is found for the SAME BBS or on a BBS with
       EQUAL priority, the filesize on the New Files list is compared to the
       existing filesize in the catalog, and if the new file is larger PLUS
       1500 bytes, it replaces the existing record (plus 1500 bytes because
       BBS ads can uselessly expand the size).  If it is smaller or the same
       size, it is ignored.

       If you don't use the File Tagger, setting BIF Download Priorities has
       no effect.

     o If you choose not to use the above, you may now also turn duplicate
       checking off entirely, via a Tagger Setup item (see the Tagger "Tools"
       menu), if you'd rather sort the dupes out yourself.  If you do this,
       it is recommended that you set your default sort order to
       Filename/Date so duplicate files will appear together, saving you from
       tagging a file twice on different BBS's.

     o Tagger catalog access is now much more reliable, but if an error does
       occur and the Tagger can't open/read a catalog -- it will
       automatically attempt a rebuild rather than printing a message asking
       you to do so.

     o The way the Tagger handles 'auto-tagged' files has also been improved.
       If you use auto-Tag strings (see the Tagger's Tools/Setup if you
       don't) you'll be relieved to know that the Tagger now uses a different
       symbol for auto-tagged files, and thus can display/handle them
       separately from files you tag manually yourself.  Auto-tagged files
       are now NOT exported to the .GET lists until/unless you change the
       auto-tag to a regular tag (simply select "Tag" over an auto-Tag and it
       will change to a regular Tag).  This avoids those surprises, if you
       forget to examine/untag the auto-tagged files between automated
       runs....  Auto-tagged files will now also be PURGED in the automatic
       purge routines, so if you use the View Date option (which will filter
       out previously imported files, including the last auto-Tagged ones),
       you needn't even worry about untagging the auto-Tagged files.

     o The Tagger's "Untag" item has been expanded to support the auto-Tags
       mentioned above, for those times when you want to clear tags quickly.
       Now when you select Untag, you are prompted for the type of Tags you
       wish to untag; Auto-Tagged, Tagged, or Both.

     o Support for bi-directional (HS/Link) MAIL transfers has been added to
       Intellicomm.  Please read the remarks in HSMAIL.BAT and HSLINK.BAT for
       proper setup instructions.

     o You may now access the Intellicomm main setup -directly- from Terminal
       mode.  There is no hotkey, but selecting Alt-Z, then Tools/Icom Setup
       from the Terminal gets you into the main setup where you can change




     Intellicomm v0.94             NEW&FIXD.DOC                             5



       all global items.  On return, Intellicomm will re-read the proper .INI
       file to read in the new settings -- but it will not disturb the
       current port number or settings, even if you changed them in the main
       setup.  To change port settings from Terminal mode, instead please do
       so using the regular [Alt-P] Port Settings menu.

     o A "Minimum Connect Speed" item has been added to the main setup
       (Dialing screen), which will cause Intellicomm to display a ten second
       warning, then hangup and try again if it gets connected at slower
       speed.  The item defaults to 300 bps (any speed), so if you intend to
       use this item you should set the minimum speed to the MODEM-TO-MODEM
       speed, and not the terminal speed which is usually higher.  I.e. if
       you have an HST modem, you could set the Minimum Connect Speed to 9600
       -- but NOT 19200.  19200 is the port speed and has nothing to do with
       the connect speed between the modems.  For this item to work properly,
       your modem MUST report the modem-to-modem speed in its CONNECT xxxx
       message (keeping in mind that CONNECT is a configurable string... if
       it reports CARRIER 9600 or something, you could simply change CONNECT
       to CARRIER in the main setup).

     o Intellicomm will now bypass dialing/logon if you are already connected
       when you "Run" a job.  I.e. you may connect to a BBS with another
       comm. program, or manually via the BBS Dir, then start a job (or
       multiple Jobs, for that matter) when already online.  The jobs will
       run normally, except that on the very FIRST 'Call <some BBS>' task
       Intellicomm runs across, it will skip dialing/logon and will instead
       just start with the first online task.  Thus you must ensure that the
       first 'Call <some BBS>' in the Job is the BBS you are connected to.

     o Internal Zmodem now features "smart" crash recovery, as well as the
       regular (dumb) crash recover (configurable in the main setup, on the
       "Screen/File Transfer" screen).  If an incoming file exists when a
       Zmodem download begins, and Smart Crash Recovery is on, Intellicomm
       requests a CRC-check from the remote, and then performs the same check
       on the existing file... If there's a CRC mismatch, the file is assumed
       to be either corrupted or not the same, and Icom will start a fresh
       download by renaming the incoming file in the usual manner (FILE.ZIP
       becomes FILE.ZI0).  This item can prove quite handy for message packet
       downloads, since Zmodem will now only append to a packet when it is
       safe/proper to do so.

     o Also added to internal Zmodem are "batch" statistics during the
       download, which show you the big picture if downloading multiple files
       in one transfer.  This feature is also supported in Ymodem batch
       downloads, if the remote specifies the batch statistics (DSZ doesn't
       seem to do this on Ymodem transfers, and since most BBS's use DSZ you
       may not see many batch stats for Ymodem downloads...  Icom does
       support them on Ymodem uploads, however).

     o You may now override your default Up/Download Directories, by
       specifying paths in the new "Upload PATH", "Download Dir" items on the
       BIF "File" screen.  This is similar to the optional Message/Reply
       overrides, on the "Message" screen.  I.e. each BBS can have its own
       up/download directories now.




     Intellicomm v0.94             NEW&FIXD.DOC                             6




     o Several optimizations were performed on the internal protocols (more
       are coming in the next update) and terminal routines.  This should
       result in slightly higher transfer speeds and faster screen displays
       when in terminal mode.  On high-speed modems, one of the changes made
       could result in a slightly lower CPS (characters per second) rate --
       but should also cut down on the CRC errors, resulting in shorter
       overall transfers times.

     o Previously a 1024-byte disk buffer was used for all internal file
       transfers, which resulted in a read/write from/to disk on every
       'block' during a 1k-Xmodem, Ymodem, or Zmodem download.  Intellicomm
       now attempts to allocate a disk buffer the same size as the internal
       "Receive Buffer", configured in the main setup (defaults to 4
       kilobytes).  The disk buffer size will be lowered, however, if there
       is insufficient memory.  This new feature results in fewer disk
       read/writes (less wear and tear on your drives) during file transfers,
       but higher memory requirements.

     o A "Set Transfer Mode" item has been added to the Terminal (see the
       "File Transfer" menu, after an Alt-Z in the Terminal), which allows
       you to change Intellicomm's protocol 'mode' to either ASCII or Binary
       (or to force it neither way, and to let the remote decide).  If set to
       "ASCII", then Icom will check to ensure that all Line Feed characters
       are preceded by a Carriage Return when written to disk.

     o The maximum "Scrollback Buffer" size has been expanded from 10K to 64K
       (see the main setup/Terminal screen), for those with lots of memory
       who like to keep larger buffers.  On slow computers, setting a larger
       scrollback buffer size could slow the terminal down significantly, and
       should you experience a major slow-down you'll have to adjust the
       scrollback size to suit:  The larger it is, the more time it takes to
       maintain it.

     o Two command line switches have been added to ICOM.EXE.  The /Area:
       switch allows you to have Intellicomm switch to a specific startup
       area on entry to the program.  /Area:Job,  /Area:BBS or BIF,
       /Area:Terminal, or /Area:Script will take you to the Job Directory,
       BBS Directory, Terminal, or Script Manager respectively (you actually
       need only use the first letter of the item... /Area:T is sufficient to
       get you to Terminal mode).  Also added is an /O (nline) switch, which
       tells Intellicomm that you're already online, and it will thus refrain
       from initializing the modem and go directly to Terminal mode.

     o Support for PREJOB.BAT / POSTJOB.BAT has been added to complement
       PRE/POSTMAIL.BAT and PRE/POSTDOWN.BAT.  The PREJOB.BAT file, if found,
       will be executed before ANY job, whether mail transfers or file
       transfers are taking place or not.  POSTJOB.BAT will be executed after
       all jobs complete.  All these .BATs are now properly executed if a
       'Repeat Job' task is encountered -- and they are executed before any
       Tagger imports take place, so you can manipulate the *.NEW files
       (rename some so they don't get imported) if you so desire.  If you
       already use, say, POSTDOWN.BAT, then POSTJOB.BAT will run as -well- as
       POSTDOWN.BAT, if a download takes place.  I.e. it runs on EVERY Job




     Intellicomm v0.94             NEW&FIXD.DOC                             7



       (once per... not between each Job if you Tag multiple Jobs), no matter
       what the Job does.

     o Two vertical bars (||) may now be used within Intellicomm commands (in
       BIFs or Custom Commands) to tell Intellicomm to -wait- for any main
       menu before continuing on with the command.  "Any main menu" means
       either of the "Main Menu" prompts defined on the Logon screen, or the
       "Bank Menu", or the "Message Menu", or the "File Menu", defined on
       their respective BIF screens.  For example, "F^M||D" would cause
       Intellicomm to send the letter F then a CR, then -wait- for any BBS
       main menu before sending the D and anything following.  The intended
       use is for menus (doors) which sometimes take a long time to access...
       it saves having to guess how many ~ (pause) characters to use.

       A note to Liberator users who were used to using one vertical bar in
       Liberator Custom Commands:  Intellicomm does NOT automatically send a
       carriage return (press Enter) when it encounters ||, due to the
       'hotkeys' available on some BBS's, and simply because it limits
       flexibility to force a CR.   If you want a CR before the pause, you
       must add it (OPEN DOOR^M||SEND THIS).  As with all commands, a CR will
       be added at the very END of the command, if the BIF 'CR w/Commands?'
       item is turned ON.

     o The Intellicomm command character '~' (pause for 1 second) has been
       given a bit more intelligence, to improve reliability.  Now, instead
       of just pausing for 1 second, this character actually waits until
       there is no activity from the BBS -for- one second.  I.e. it can now
       be used to just wait until one second after the next BBS pause, so you
       can be (relatively) sure you're at a prompt and the BBS is ready for
       the next command.  This will eliminate the need for multiple ~~~ in
       many circumstances, though you still may use multiples if necessary.

     o If you must send either the ~ (described above) or || (pause for a
       menu) characters in a command, you may now 'escape' them by preceding
       the item with the ^ escape character (^~ or ^|).  To send the ^
       character, use two ^^.

     o The "Time/Bytes Accepted" prompts on the BIF "Bank/List" screen were
       not really necessary and have been replaced with separate, more
       useful, Deposit/Withdraw Time/Bytes prompts.  The order in which
       Intellicomm performs Time/Byte transactions has also been switched to
       Byte/Time (brain-dead doors allow you to deposit all your time,
       leaving not a second left to deposit the bytes).

     o Previously, bank deposits/withdrawals accepted only a number when
       setting up your Jobs.  You may now specify any
       characters/symbols/numbers in these items, which allows support for
       entering 'A' (for ALL) time in a PCBoard DEPOSITORY bank transaction.

     o The current system date/time has been added to various menus, to allow
       you to call a clock up when you need it.  In the Terminal, Scrollback
       Buffer or internal Editor, the date/time is now displayed on the "Alt-
       Z" menu.  Most other places, you can view the time on the Hotkey menu
       by pressing the F1 function key.

     o Pressing [Alt-Space] from Terminal mode will cause Intellicomm to
       place a << CAPTURE MARK [n] >> in the capture file (n being a mark
       number), if open.  This can be used to mark a spot/get your attention
       later when browsing the capture file.

     o Qmail PTR uploads will now take place before your REPly upload, if you
       have any replies to upload...  Regrettably, the TomCat door now also
       supports these clunky PTR files, and thus Intellicomm has been
       expanded to handle automatic TomCat PTR uploads, similar to the way it
       handles them in RoseMail/Qmail v4:  if the PTR is found, it's
       uploaded, if not, it's not.  Your "switch" to control whether the PTR
       gets uploaded lies in extracting/deleting the PTR (please see
       EXAMPLES.DOC for some help on doing this automatically).


     VERSION 0.93 BUGS FIXED IN 0.94

     o A small CTS/RTS flow control problem, with very LARGE effects on high
       speed modems/slower computers, has been corrected.  If you experienced
       missing characters in terminal mode, or excessive CRC errors during
       downloads, this update should correct the problem.

     o The File Tagger has had a complete overhaul/cleanup and is now much
       more reliable.

     o Carriage Return/Line Feed characters, combined with line-wrapping,
       were not always being handled properly in terminal mode.  This
       resulted in messed up screens under certain circumstances.  Some other
       ANSI terminal problems were also fixed.

     o Doorway mode/ANSI cursor -keys- fixed.  Same fix also corrects cursor
       update problem when local echo is ON.

     o So many more items were fixed/worked on that we can't begin to list
       them all.  Suffice to say that EVERYTHING is fixed, as far as we know.
       If you do encounter a problem, and the problem persists after you
       delete v0.92 or v0.93 completely and try again from a fresh start,
       please re-report the problem to us so we can take another look.  We
       were never able to reproduce some of the problems reported, and thus
       it's impossible to test whether a change we made had the proper
       effect.


     VERSION 0.93 UPGRADE TIPS  (Please read if upgrading from v0.92)

     o The default modem init string in v0.92 was faulty if you entered a
       speed of 2400 baud or greater in the main installation.  It was
       supposed to insert &C1 &D2 in the default init string, just before the
       Q0 command, but unfortunately the D2 was not added and it ended up as
       &C1 &Q0 instead of &C1 &D2 Q0.  If you have any major problems with
       Intellicomm, it is recommended that you just delete ICOM.INI and start
       again with the new defaults.

     o If your modem is not being initialized prior to dialing, etc., run
       SETUP.EXE and change the Terminal screen "Init Modem if Carrier?" item
       to Yes.  This item now defaults to Yes on new setups.

     o If you have a 16550 UART chip in your system, you may want to increase
       the "16550 Receive Trigger" to 4 or 8 bytes in the main SETUP, on the
       Terminal screen (after installation).  This item defaulted to 1 byte
       in v0.92, which basically makes your 16550 act like a regular UART.
       It now defaults to 4 bytes in new setups.


     VERSION 0.93 NEW FEATURES

     o Changed the way the capture file and scrollback buffer is updated in
       an effort to speed things up a bit for high speed users.  Also made
       some changes to the internal protocols to increase speed, and disabled
       the mouse during file transfers.

     o Added "No Time Left" prompt to the BIF Message screen to support the
       Qmail/Rosemail <NO TIME> prompt.  Other mail systems may support a
       similar type of prompt, but I didn't have time to get them all and add
       to all the other .MTFs.

     o Added the ability to configure the mouse vertical/horizontal speeds.
       Run SETUP.EXE and Edit "Mouse Mode/Speed" on screen 1 to change the
       settings for your mouse.

     o File comments/descriptions may now be preceded by a space as well as a
       tab character.  Some editors (including Intellicomm's internal editor)
       convert tab characters to spaces when the tab key is pressed, and
       descriptions were not being recognized in this case.

     o When entering directory names on the main setup's "File/Path" screen,
       SETUP.EXE now checks to ensure that the directory exists, and if not
       it lets you know and asks whether to create it.


     VERSION 0.92 BUGS FIXED IN 0.93

     o The problem a few people encountered with redialling after a job had
       completed successfully is now fixed.

     o Files tagged for uploading in the File Tagger's FILELIST catalog were
       only exported to the first .SND list encountered.  It's now working
       properly and you need only tag the file once and it will be exported
       to all .SND lists for all uploads requested.

     o The task "Switch to <some BIF>" is now operational.

     o Long distance codes are now operational.

     o The video problems with UltraVision and the ATI Graphics Solution
       adapters have hopefully been fixed.  Please report any problems that
       still occur so I can make further changes if necessary.

     o The command line /Run: switch was not working properly when quotes
       were used in the search string.  I.e. /Run:MAIL would work fine, but
       /Run:"Get Mail" would not.  Now fixed and both methods work.

     o The WildCat v3 BIF (WCAT03.BIF) has been changed to add the "Mail
       waiting, do you wish to read" prompt, and the updated WCAT03.BIF will
       overwrite your old WCAT03.BIF in the installation -- please re-enter
       your name and birthdate, etc., if necessary.  You may want to re
       "Create" any BIFs you created for Wildcat using the new template if
       you were having problems.

     o A new PCBoard DEPOSITORY door was released and I was unaware of it and
       didn't know the prompts had changed.  If you had problems with a
       DEPOSITORY door, please "Edit" the proper BIF, select "Bank Type" on
       screen 1, and select the Depository again.  This will update your BIF
       with the new prompts...  Then change to the "Bank/List" screen and
       enter the proper "Access Bank Menu" command again, if necessary.

     o Also related to Bank Doors, Intellicomm would not deposit or withdraw
       download bytes if the transaction was over 65535 bytes.  Now fixed.

     o The main installation routines no longer look for *.BIF, *.BTF, *.MTF
       and ask for their location if not found.

     o The "Total completed" value in the download status window was not
       updated properly during Zmodem downloads.  The error occurred when an
       ASCII transport/translation request was made by the sender.

     o The file modification time was not being set properly on files
       transferred with Y/Zmodem.  Now corrected.

     o The "Capture on/off" task allowed only eight characters to be
       specified when entering the item in a Job, but Intellicomm didn't add
       the usual capture directory and extension to the filename.  Now fixed.

     o The terminal commands [Alt-1] (send logon name) and [Alt-2] (send
       password) were not interpreting the special characters ^, ~, @, $.
       Now fixed.
