1.61 Maintenance Release for ProBoard 2.00
──────────────────────────────────────────
- Under certain Time/Download limits, EFL would erroneously not
allow the user to download - fixed.
- EFL would improperly report download hours of 0700-2200 - fixed.
% EFL now fully supports the new download hour timeframe.
(Special thanks to Chuck Haatvedt for the bit field algorithm.)
- File display would sometimes add an extra blank line - fixed.
1.60 Release for ProBoard 2.00
──────────────────────────────
% EFL has been recompiled for ProBoard 2.00 with the 2.00 SDK.
* File listing color codes (Ctrl-A to Ctrl-G) are now supported.
* Downloading from the search menu now implemented.
% Improved status bar in "search" mode.
% Area numbers are now included in the DOWNLOAD.LOG for faster
PBUTIL FC file counter update operation.
- CD-ROM lines beginning with '!' would sometimes hang EFL - fixed.
1.51 Maintenance Release
────────────────────────
- CD-ROM is no longer checked when paging through the file list.
- Fixed some minor problems with word wrapping.
- Files beginning with a '!' are now fully supported. Comments
beginning with '!' have been preserved.
1.50 Release
────────────
* Added command line switches for EFL to go directly to the
searching menu: '-file', '-date', '-keyword'
* FA_CTL is totally supported for file display and shelling to
viewer.
* '8' will now page up (in addition to '9'), and '2' will page down
in addition to '3' and <enter>.
- User created EFL*.ANS files sometimes would not display properly,
fixed.
% DSZLOG environment variable is now put and restored properly
after shelling to the protocol.
* Switched arrays to dynamic memory.
% Goto area will now except an <enter> input to return back to same
area.
% A few cosmetic changes.
* EFL now supports EFLCDDIR environment variable in addition to
CdromCopyDir in the EFL.INI file. If both exist, EFLCDDIR will
take precedence.
* EFL now logs to EFL.LOG instead of PROBOARD.LOG. The log file
is stored in the ProBoard StartUp directory. So you will have
multiple EFL.LOG files if you run a multi-node BBS. This log
file will also be used for debugging purposes.
- Search 'hits' sometimes would not wrap properly - fixed.
- Switching to 'stats' on top line would print on the second line
during refresh - fixed.
- Date searches and new file flasher were not properly working if
ProBoard was configured for "European" - fixed.
- Fixed spacing between !! MISSING !! and comments
* Added changes to EFLCFG.EXE.
% Eliminate '|' from being displayed on Cdrom directory listings.
* Added the ability to tag from all searches.
- Took steps to eliminate the <MISSING> bug.
* Two entries have been added to EFL.INI for Filedoor DISP tagfile
support: CreateFileDoorTag and XFDTagFileMacro.
CreateFileDoorTag allows you to turn this feature on and off.
When "on", the XFDTagFileMacro is read. This is the same
directory as the defined TagFileMacro in FILEDOOR.CFG.
NOTE: This file is created upon EXIT from EFL.
[CreateFileDoorTag default: 'off']
* Added OwnCdrom & CdromCopyDir to EFL.INI for copying files from
CDROM to the hard drive before downloading. Please note that the
directory must end with a '\', the <nodenumber> will be added to
this directory. For example, if CdromCopyDir was "C:\CDTEMP\" the
directory for node 1 would look like: C:\CDTEMP\1\
NOTE: You will need to create these directories manually.
EFL can also copy the files to a RAM disk, but CDROM
files tend to get quite large.
[OwnCdrom default: 'off']
* Added a hook for ALT-J <shell to DOS> that will not disrupt the
EFL screen.
% Changed the listing of file sizes to xxxxK. This will allow more
room for file description wordwrapping.
- File listings that used spaces instead of +'s for additional
commenting would still be displayed when wordwrap was turned off.
Fixed.
* Added FastHangup to EFL.INI - if set to "on" EFL will now call
HangUp() immediately, bypassing any logoff screen. This was
needed in case GOODBYE.A?? had a Ctrl-A character in it which
would wait for the user to press enter. Set to "off", EFL handles
the GOODBYE.A?? screen normally. [Default = off]
* Added LocalBaudRate to EFL.INI - this will allow sysops to view a
simulated call at any baud rate (for computing download times).
[Default = 2400]
* Added '-cd' and '-hd' as parameters to the EFL command line for
cdrom only and hard drive only file areas to be listed.
* Added user selectable searching areas:
Current Area
All Hard Drive Areas
All CD-ROM Areas <if available, ie. OwnCdrom is set to 'on'>
Complete System
* Added 4 and 6 keys in addition to [ and ] to go back and forward
through the file listing. Hope this helps our European friends!
* Added 5 key as another "goto file area", '=' key still works.
* Added 0 key as another "search", '\' key still works.
- Keyword searches sometimes would just display a comment containing
the search term - fixed.
% Changed a word-wrap constant to wrap extremely long (30+
character) wraps.
- EFL wouldn't properly handle negative Todaykb - fixed.
* Added support for commas in the file length field of CD-ROM
listings.
