Spoint Version 1.20
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This release fixes many errors reported in earlier versions. Spoint has
now gone through enough rigorous testing that it should run without any
problems whatsoever. I'm sure there are still bugs in there somewhere,
so don't say I lied if you happen to find one. Report it. We'll fix it
ASAP.
Files included in this archive --
SPOINT.EXE ......... The Spoint executable
SPSTAT.EXE ......... History file reader and report generator
SPOINT.DOC ......... Documentation for Spoint 1.20
SPOINT.CTL ......... A sample control file
AREAS.SPL .......... A sample areas file
WHATSNEW.120 ....... This file
What's New in Spoint 1.20 --
* POLL command. A staple in all robot programs. Very useful for
points.
* PACKET keyword in the control file. Allows you to specify what
kind of packets, either "Stoneage" or "Type-2+," you want Spoint
to create by default.
* QUIETARC keyword in control file. Suppresses your archiver's
screen output. A merely cosmetic enhancement, but a user requested
it. That shows you how responsive we are.
* Faster netmail folder access.
* Now accepts pathspecs with trailing backslashes or without.
* Improved error-checking.
* SPHIST.EXE replaced with sexier SPSTAT.EXE. Provides a more
comprehensive view of Spoint's history file.
Coming Attractions in Spoint 1.30 --
* Multi-boss operation. (Can be done with current version, but
requires a lot of control-file juggling.)
* Fido .MSG-style format.
* Even more comprehensive history file information.
* Does your dishes.
As always ... thanks for using Spoint!
