What's new in Online Archive Master v6.0 gamma 3?
────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ Fixed a bug that caused the program to crash when listing file areas
with certain (illegal) file headers inserted by other programs.
■ Registration codes are no longer used.
■ "Tagging" files is now available when selecting the file to be viewed.
■ The 'credit' screens were removed, to make the program apprear to be
more integrated with RemoteAccess.
■ The user now starts in his/her current file area and group, instead
of group 1, area 1.
■ Multiple archive names are now used for the EXTRACT file. EXTRACT.ZIP
is used for single node systems. If you pass the node on the command
line using /N:node the file will be named AM_xxx.ZIP where xxx is
the node number.
■ File area passwords are now checked. Oops, somehow I missed these
in previous releases. The file area password is only checked if
there is no individual file password.
■ If a user has less than 2 minutes left, he/she will NOT be allowed
to view a file, to ensure that the user doesn't run out of time while
unarchiving the files.
■ Some users were having problems with the program not finding files,
especially on CD-ROM drives. AM would say "Sorry, that file is not
available", even though it really was. I finally tracked down this
bug, and have it fixed.
■ The sysop may now disable the extract option. (See docs for details)
PLEASE note that there MAY still be a problem with the program 'hanging'
and waiting for someone to press RETURN when the user drops carrier.
I can't figure this out, and its driving me nuts. I think I've solved
it now, but again, I cannot be sure. Grrrrr. Please let me know
if you run into this problem again, and I'll try to track it down.

■ NOTICE: Some extra checks were added to ensure that the wrong ■
■ files do not get deleted. It seems that the only time an error ■
■ did occur, it nuked the root directory, so I've added code to ■
■ be sure that this can NOT happen again. ■

■ The SysOp name, BBS name, and Registration code fields are no longer ■
■ used! REMOVE THESE LINES FROM THE CONFIGURATION FILE! ■

What's new in Online Archive Master v6.0?
────────────────────────────────────────
Online Archive Master v6.0 offers the following new features:
■ Full support for the RemoteAccess 2.00 file database
This version does NOT support FILES.BBS files!
■ Enhanced security controls, including full checking of:
- File passwords
- File area list and download security levels
- File area list and download flag settings
- File area list and download NOT flag settings
■ Ability for users to view file area listings
Some similar programs only prompt the user for the filename
of the archive to view. Online Archive Master allows users
to change file areas (and groups if groups have been defined)
and view the file listings for these areas.
■ Supports the EXTERNAL ARCHIVE VIEWER option in RACONFIG. This
allows you to replace the built in archive viewer with Online
Archive Master.
■ Supports NESTED ARCHIVES! Up to 10 levels deep!
■ Supports SQZ format archives
What's not new:
