WaterGate
Mailprocessor for Fidonet & Usenet
Upgrade information

December 31st, 1995
This archive contains the patch file to upgrade the DPMI version
of WtrGate; WTRGATED.EXE and the WaterGate Help File from the
original version 0.21 to Patch Level 2. You do not need Patch 1,
because this patch includes both Patch 1 and Patch 2.
To upgrade, you need the undif.exe program. If you don't have it,
then you can mail to undif-req@wsd.wline.se to get it sent to you
automatically (it will be sent UU-encoded).
This patch fixes the following problems, in reverse order of fixing:
■ When BounceSmall is used, a line "truncated rest of message" is added.
■ Changed mailing list option "Allow Remote" as "Private List". A list
with this toggle set to YES will NOT show up in a LIST request and
people cannot connect to it automatically, but they can disconnect
from it though.
■ Added e-mail address for support to the about boxes.
■ Fixed a major bug in the binkley outbound that was caused by the
directory existance checks that were recently added and caused
"Cannot rename .PKT back to .QQQ" log errors.
■ Added filename to log line when .QQQ / .CQQ could not be read from.
■ Exchanges %LIST and %QUERY results. List now lists the areas connected
already and Query lists the areas you CAN connect to.
■ WtrGate now accepts "SCAN" as an equivalent for "SCANFIDO".
■ Added -NONEWSTOSS do disable tossing of news archives during TOSSUSE.
■ Copy Headers no longers copies headers into the body more than once
when a news message is cross posted.
■ Added log action when packing of fido outbound starts.
■ Built some checks into WtrUtil so it complains when you try to do a
WTRUTIL PURGE LINK RENUM or WTRUTIL PURGE DATABASE.
■ Bounced messages (both netmail and e-mail) now don't have these extra
enters at each line anymore.
■ Fidonet bounce now quotes the original message to the bouncer, unless
BounceSmall is set (it then only copies 20 lines). Thus, if your users
forget to put a To: on the first line, they get their original message
back, together with a remark, instead of the remark alone.
■ Mailing list, Fido style user edit window is now two longer.
■ Added Help reference to Export AKA in user base screen in WtrConf.
■ Binkley outbound now correctly removes a create .BSY file when the
.QQQ file could not be renamed to .PKT.
■ Private mail scan is now only done once when a news message is
cross-posted and not for each area the news message is cross-posted in.
This also stops multiple copies of the same news message to end up in
your private mail area.
■ Fixed a bug in the SENDFILE that lost the recipient e-mail address while
creating the reply netmail message, so it couldn't send a netmail to a
remote gateway. The To: line would be empty.
■ Fixed a bug that caused WtrUtil purge, link, index, renum and renumjam
not to be able to be run without the groups filter argument. If tried,
the help screen would come up.
■ .TXT files with the tokens are now searched in the sub-directory TXTS
of the WaterGate system directory, instead of in the WaterGate system
directory itself.
To apply the patches, you create a temporary directory. Then copy the
original wtrgated.exe and wtrgate.hlp files, the *.DIF files and
UNDIF.EXE there and type in the following command:
UNDIF *
Both files will then be patched. After that, you can copy both into the
WaterGate system directory again. You don't really need to back-up the
original files, because you can always extract them from the original
distribution archive.
Now that I have you there, I would like to wish you the very best for
1996!
Good luck and keep up the good testing work!!
