718) New MCI codes:
O7 - Expert mode on/off
O8 - "Open", "Closed", or "Forwarded - num" re: mailbox status
O9 - Color on/off
719) "Logon incorrect" is now a string on page 5, replacing the long
outdated P/N file info string.
720) You can now hit "U" and edit the uploader while in the file edit
menu.
721) New infoform command "S";
;S"ACS",LABEL
If the user matches the ACS specified between quotes, execution
will branch to LABEL, like the G command.
722) File descriptions can now be up to 10 lines. Any utilities that
worked with file descriptions previously should be destroyed -
because that's what they'll do to your files after upgrading
to this version if you use them. Use RGDESC.ZIP to upgrade your
extended.dat. A new version of RGMAINT will accompany this release.
723) Recheck files now gives the option of re-importing descriptions.
724) New USERS.DAT structures! You'll have to run UPD.EXE before
upgrading to XX-XX-XX. Structures are more efficient, and
you user file will be 1/3 the size it used to be. If you use
any user utilities that don't work with XX-XX-XX, you'll
be screwed.
725) Renegade now encrypts all user passwords.
726) Caller ID information is now stored separately from the user note.
727) Email forwarding is now "real" - you can forward as many copies
as you like, and the message is actually copied rather than
redirected.
728) New file area flag "P" turns off duplicate checking for that file
area.
729) If there is no hangup string or dtr toggle in the hangup string,
then Renegade will NOT drop DTR when a user logs off. This means
Renegade can be used as a door.
730) Renemail now supports importing of 1.MSG with the -I option.
731) Teleconference now allows an action's "receiver" to be a non-existant
user.
732) Teleconference now allows users to execute external programs via
a special type of action format. The first part of the action is
an ":EXECx PROGRAM", where x is the drop file type and PROGRAM
is the name of the program or batch file to run.
Sample format:
----------------------
TW
:EXECG TW.BAT
BLANK->
%S|15 is going to play TradeWars!
BLANK->
It is imperitive that you leave in necessary blanks!
733) Cursor keys are now supported during input, both locally and
remotely. No more retyping!
734) Batch download now tells you the total size of the bathc
735) 31200 and 33600 are now supported as connect rates.
736) New MCI codes:
%TA - Timebank added today
%TB - Timebank time
%TT - Total Time on system
%ES - Email sent
%EW - Email waiting
%FD - First Date on system
737) Pre-addressed Email sent via //\\ME cmdkeys can now be made
unabortable by making the subject start with \
//\\ME1;\Can't abort me!
738) New strings:
Page 2, option E: New user password prompt.
Edit it and replace it with: "Newuser password: " to match default
Page 3, option B: Reading Email prompt.
Edit it and replace it with: "^4Read mail (^5?^4=^5Help^4) : " to
match old default.
739) Bugs fixed (hopefully):
* Lots of cosmetic bugs fixed
* No more lost email notifications when a user hangs up right
after downloading when email had been sent from another node
while downloading.
* Generating a QWK can be aborted almost instantly
* Previously, if the first message base wasn't flagged for scanning,
the QWK generator ALWAYS reported "no new messages" and aborted.
This has been fixed.
* File request message subject now fits in the subject area.
* Email reply notifications now only occur if the reply was saved
* If a sysop allowed reading email from the GLOBAL menu, the user
could enter a message base, read messages, read email, then go
back to reading messages and be reading the email base. This has
been fixed.
* Think I've worked around OS/2's volume ID = filename problem on
batch uploads.
* New Renemail may correct problem of zone 0 imports.
* Think Renegade will now tell someone loading it on an 8088/8086
that it requires a 286, but since I can't find anyone with an 808x,
I don't know. =)
* MCI codes don't lock up anything, anywhere, anymore.
* As a result of cosmetic changes, I expect problems with not being
able to abort text displays in some places, and getting a regular
"hit any key" prompt instead of a "Continue Y/N/C" prompt
