Changed/Fixed:
-------------
- Some Spanish texts corrected (registered versions only,
Thanks to Luis Rodriguez).
- System crash fixed when Telix was called with the '/NOMOUSE' option
while running with a default screen size greater than 25 lines.
- Reactions on AVATAR cursor positioning control sequences fixed
according to the FSC-0025 rules (AVT/0).
- Shelling out to DOS will now properly de-initialize a FOSSIL driver
and re-initialize it after returning from the shell as well.
- Possible crashes due to a memory overflow error fixed while attempting
to allocate space for window storing purposes.
- SALT command 'vsavearea' did never return (-1), if space allocation
for saving the area failed
- SALT command 'exittelix' did never perform a hangup (when Telix was
online), even if its second parameter told Telix to do so.
- ZModem transfer rate calculation fixed in the Up-/Download window, when
one or more files were not sent/received during a batch transfer because
they already did exist on the target system and Zmodem Crash-Recovery
was enabled in Telix.
- Bug in SALT script compiler fixed. There must not be passed more than 12
arguments to a script function. The new SALT compiler (v1.52) will now
check for this condition and will abort compilation by displaying an error
message if that happens to prevent possible memory overflow errors when
running the script later by Telix.
Added:
-----
- New install program which will automatically install and brand your
Telix version and setup your modem for proper use with Telix.
- The modem configuration program MODEMCFG.EXE is now automatically
launched by Telix when a Telix configuration file *.CNF does not
yet exist.
- New pulldown menu entry in configuration menu and hotkey (Alt-F1)
created starting the modem configuration program (MODEMCFG.EXE) manually
from within Telix.
- The SALT file upload command 'send' now starts the Telix upload manager
to select files for being uploaded manually, if its second parameter
contains the string "*SELECT*" (case-insensitive).
Example: i = send('Z', "*SELECT*");
- If possible, Telix will now use Extended Memory areas to place its text
there and for buffering data. Therefor, Telix will first try to
allocate UMB (Upper Memory Block) memory. If this fails, it will try to
allocate memory in the HMA (High Memory Area). Nevertheless, you must
note, the DOS versions >= v5.0 itself will request and allocate UMB as
well as HMA memory, which is then not available for application
programs. To make these memory areas available for application programs,
they must be first provided by an appropriate "DOS=" entry in the
CONFIG.SYS file.
Examples:
---------
DOS=NOUMB -> DOS itself doesn't request UMB, available for applications
DOS=LOW -> DOS itself doesn't request HMA, available for applications
A combination like "DOS=LOW,NOUMB" is also possible.
The new commandline option "/NOXMS" disables the use of Extended Memory
areas by Telix (independent of any settings in the CONFIG.SYS file). By
default, Telix will always try to use Extended Memory. However, using
this option has no influence on the setting, that will Telix itself
cause to be swapped to Extended Memory, when a DOS shell is launched.
This behaviour is exclusively controlled by the Configuration|General
options|P parameter.
