Post Master - History File
--------------------------
02/12/94 v2.0
---------------
- Postmaster code and ownership is transfered from Dave Cody - Boardwalk
Software, to Joe Lemoine.
- Added the ability to send a message to all users. You specify this
option using the /L:<security level> command line switch with a
security level of "*". In this case "*" means all security levels
so the effect is all users will receive the message.
ex. POSTMSTR /L:* /I:UPDATE.MSG
This will send the file UPDATE.MSG in a message to each of your users.
NOTE: If you have 250 users and you have the conference limits set to
150 messages, then the first 100 messages posted will end up
being sent to V'GER with insufficient postage attached.
- Added the ability to split messages into multiple messages. The
only limit to the size of the text file to import is available
memory and even then, as much of the file will be imported as
possible. Messages are split into the maximum lines per message as
defined in Makewild under Conference Descriptions.
- Added the ability to disable splitting of messages by adding the
"/D - Disable splitting" command line switch.
- Added support for the WCHOME environment variable so POSTMASTER doesn't
have to be run from the Wildcat home directory.
ex. SET WCHOME=C:\WC30 ;trailing backslash and case is optional
- Reduced memory requirements by 10,500 bytes.
- Added the ability to translate most of the standard Wildcat @-Codes
when they appear in the imported text file.
- Fixed a file locking bug with the NODEINFO.DAT file that caused the
Quick Stats section to get corrupted. This would occur when another
program, such as Wildcat running on another node, would have the file
locked, and POSTMASTER would try to update it.
08/21/92 v1.14
---------------
- A nasty bug cropped up since the last version that prevented the network
from getting initialized properly.
NOTE: This was only a problem if you assigned WCNODEID higher than 50.
08/18/92 v1.13
---------------
- Fixed a bug that would allow the program to continue even if the network
did not get initialized properly.
- Added code to prevent the program from running if the environment variable
WCNODEID was not set on a multi-node system. This is not a requirement on
a single node system.
08/04/92 v1.12
---------------
- Fixed a strange little bug that would cause a message to refuse to update
as read after a caller had read it and continue to show up as new mail on
each call.
07/17/92 v1.11
---------------
- Added support for updating the Total Messages and Quick Messages stats
- Reworked the file attach code to copy the attach file from it's original
directory to the Wildcat! attach directory and give it a unique filename.
Post Master will NOT watch your disk space so if you create ten messages
with 500K files attached and you only have 1 meg of disk space left the
results could be bad. This changes the way the /A parameter works so
read the documentation on this one.
04/13/92 v1.10
---------------
- Added support for extracting TO or FROM names from USERINFO.DAT by using
the word DOOR in place of the TO or FROM name you want extracted from the
USERINFO.DAT file. Example:
BOBCAT
CD\WC30
POSTMSTR /i:welcome.txt /t:DOOR
(ie. /T:DOOR would send a message to the person returning from the door)
!! Remember - Post Master must be run from the main Wildcat! directory !!
- Fixed the file attachment problem.
