- Modified the @MORE@ macro to allow PgUp functionality when a
text file is being displayed.
- Eliminated some extra crlf's before/after various prompts.
- Corrected the screen page length after importing a DIR file
header using the "%" filename variable.
- Corrected the conference name/number output when exporting
messages for archiving & download.
- Event information now written to caller logs (exiting to event
and event completed).
- Modified EVENT function. Now the NAME of the event must match
the "batch" file which will run the event (although the "batch"
file must NOT have a ".bat" extension). Multiple node events
can be run using the same event .LST file. FeatherNet will look
for a node specific event file named the event BATCH name
followed by a file extension comprised of the node number padded
to the left with zero's. For example, if the next event is
named "DAILY" then "DAILY" will be run by all nodes if it is
present unless a "padded" "DAILY" batch file is found for a node
or nodes. If "DAILY.001" is present, node one will run it
instead of "DAILY".
- Added an additional CRLF after quoting a block of text.
- Password is now depicted by "*"'s when using the "I" command to
edit user information.
- Modified the graphics flagging function (ansi callers) to
provide a more pleasant interface.
- Added keyboard stuffing support when returning from doors/
external programs. A file called FNSTUFF.KBD in the node
directory will be read and the contents will be "STUFFED" into
the keyboard to emulate characters being entered from the
terminal.
- Increased the "LOCAL" keyboard timeout to 15 minutes.
- Corrected a problem with the @BALDOL@ macro.
- Corrected a problem with the Zippy DIR scan when using the
"&" (AND) operator.
- Added support in FNFILER to create an ALLFILES list. The list
will be created from the DIR.LST files from the specified
conferences. Conferences begin with number 0 (Main Board). A
sample command line to make an ALLFILES list with FNFILER is:
FNFILER /LIST D:\DL001\ALLFILES 0-5,8
This will result in a file named ALLFILES being created and the
file directories in conferences 0-5 and 8 will be included.
- Added support in FNFILER to notify user of a non-existant file
when comparing against the DIR file when editing by placing an
"L" (meaning existing in the file DIR List) in the header.
- Added support in FNFILER to automatically append files existing
in the subdirectory but not in the DIR listing to the end of the
DIR file. Description states "Description not available" . If
<ALT F1> is pressed, the FILE_ID.DIZ will automatically be added
- Updated FNP docs to reflect v1.02
- Added ability to automatically run a batch file called FRESHEN.BAT
immediately after exiting FNFILER.EXE (if exists) to automatically
update the file index's (if configured within conference configur-
ation.)
- FNFILER can now create an ALLFILES list and SORT the dir files.
Additional configuration settings are available to allow unique
sort parameters for the public and private upload DIR files. The
All other DIR files will be sorted in the mode specified for the
DIR files.
Command line sorting can now be performed during an EVENT or at any
other time you choose. The command line FNFILER expects for
sorting the dir files of a conference is:
FNFILER /SORT 0-4,10
The above command line will cause FNFILER to sort all the DIR files
in conferences 0 through 4 and conference 10. Separate each
non-inclusive conference with a COMMA as is done in the sample
above.
- Above corrections/changes/additions resulted in changing of the
following files: (shown with crc values)
FNETSM.EXE = F0C00369 FN-NET.EXE = FBDAC569
MKFNTEXT.EXE = 89024FE9 FNCHK.EXE = 3A70612C
FNCFG.EXE = 5A3E2F03 FNECHO.EXE = 271C6174
FNFILER.EXE = 31EEF5F5 ARCMAS.BAT = CC43FB2A
ARCMJS.BAT = C9E5BD9 ARCMLS.BAT = 7CA2E70C
ARCMZS.BAT = AB020572 SFN.BAT = 71016AE
FRESHEN.BAT = 046D62A4 INSTALFN.EXE = 2E0874F5
FNET.EXE (Single Registered) = F855E8BA
FNET.EXE (Multi Registered) = 5E35D952
FNET.EXE (Test Drive Multi) = 83266F16
- Released the new Multi-Node Test Drive, Single Registered and
Multi-Node Registered versions of FNET.EXE.
- The Single Node (Registered) version is the smallest of the three
FNET.EXE files.
- The Test Drive (250 node) version is a little larger than the
Registered (250 Node) version. This pattern should remain constant.
- The Test Drive will ALWAYS be unregistered as it is hard-wired in
the code.
- Replaced FNCHK.EXE - Found that it could possibly hose the conference
pointers.
- Replaced FNFILER.EXE - Added a flag that shows if a file listed in
a DIR list is non-existant in the associated directory.
