February 5, 1993 -- Notes on Telix 3.21:
o deltaComm customers possessing invoices dated December 10th, 1992
through January 29th, 1993 are entitled to a free electronic
upgrade from 3.20 to 3.21 (those being customers who received
3.20 on disk from us). To obtain your electronic update, call
the BBS at 919-481-9399 and complete script questionnaire # 2 on
the main board. A sysop will give you access to a "registered
user" conference where the significant registered changes can be
downloaded.
o 3.21 is a maintenance release for version 3.20 -- there are no new
features in this version. The corrected situations are as follows:
o Corrected code that under some circumstances would cause the dialing
box to read:
Connected at - press any key to continue.
o Send('', filespec); in SALT would, under 3.15, prompt for a protocol,
but not the filename. 3.21 now works the same way 3.15 did.
o When used with @FILELIST protocols, _ext_filespec was not being
properly loaded with FILELIST in SALT.
o The picklist box has been a continuing source of problems to users of
removable drives (Bernoulli, device driven floppies, etc). A new,
user-editable line can be added to TELIX.CNF (but only with a text
editor -- there was no room for this one under ALT-O):
drivelst="acdxz"
Each of the letters listed in quotes is validated as being a
POTENTIAL drive letter (i.e. A-Z) and then added to the picklist. If
you try to list a drive that doesn't exist, Telix will *accept* the
drive unchecked, *until* you try to toggle to that drive via the box,
at which time Telix will attempt to validate the drive, and will not
allow the change.
If this parameter is not listed in the config file, Telix will
continue to validate all drives when you press PgUp or Alt-S.
o Xmodem uploads used boxes that appeared to be download text.
o TELIX.MDM has been reworked and updated, with the addition of over
100 new modems, including most of the ones we get asked about most
frequently. Try the new one if your modem was not listed before.
Please note that this new TELIX.MDM *requires* a version of
MODEMCFG.EXE dated 02/05/93 or later.
o CSS Whenloop bugs have been fixed to no longer require accompanying
BEGIN/END statements. This code now works:
If Online then
Whenloop
Whenever "A" ENTER
Whenever "B" ENTER
Whenever "C" QUITWHEN
Endwhen
o CS.EXE now compiles scripts requiring larger stacks, or scripts that
nest very deeply. 3.20's CS.EXE would not under some circumstances.
o QDHost's log file now works properly.
o Host+'s determine_baud() routine was rewritten, previously, when
it was unable to determine the baud rate, it would set it to 300.
The new revision will now set the baud rate to the DTE rate (or
original starting baud rate).
o HPCOMP.EXE in Host+ was adding 5 or 6 'garbage' characters to
the message titles when the message base was packed. This is
now fixed.
o Host+ now correctly rescans the message/file base areas for
the first valid base available to the user when their access
level is upgraded online.
o Alt-O/Terminal/settings would display "11520" rather than
"115200" due to a long-time bug dating back to PTel that limited the
length of the field to 5 characters.

(Toronto, Ontario) - Exis Inc., developers of the popular shareware modem
communications software Telix, today announced the sale and transfer of rights
to the program source code, trademark name, and future sales of the program to
former Exis Technical Support Manager, Jeff Woods, for undisclosed terms. No
reason was given for the sale, but Woods stated that both parties were in
agreement that this was the best course of action to ensure the long-term
growth and prosperity of the product. The chief programmer of Telix releases
to-date, Colin Sampaleanu, will remain with Exis, working on other, unrelated
projects.
Woods said Telix will be available from the new company, deltaComm Development,
located in Cary, North Carolina, and support and upgrade pricing will continue
to be offered to previous registered users. A new minor upgrade to Telix will
also be released before year's end, containing some of the more popular feature
requests. Some of these features, according to the new owner, are script
'learning' capability, easier learning curve for the powerful SALT scripting
language, and the 'so-called' ANSI music capability. "Other ideas for this
interim release are being discussed as well," said Woods.
"Further development," he added, "will proceed very rapidly toward early
release of anticipated major revisions. The minor release is mainly to adjust
the public to the new company behind the product, and to offer some of the
features of the major revision a bit early."

December 10, 1992 -- Notes on Telix 3.20:
o Telix 3.20 is being released to replace existing copies with
deltaComm copies, and to introduce some of the most frequently
requested features internally to Telix.
o File transfer graphic representation bars have been added to all
protocols. They now display a running presentation of exactly
how much a file transfer has left to go.
o Transfer estimates are now based on the DCE rather than DTE connect
speed, making them much more reliable. Your modem must return
the DCE speed as the first number after the connect string to
take advantage of this feature.
o Added a "script learning" feature to the registered version.
o Telix can now Swap to EMS/XMS/disk on a DOS Shell as an option.
o Added a fifth external protocol, and added "Auto-download"
triggers for all external protocols. If your external protocols
have strings that uniquely identify an incoming file, such as
HS/Link, you may now enjoy the automation of Zmodem on these
externals as well.
o Added "Reverse Terminal Emulation" for European users. RTE
reverses the order of emulation and translate tables, so that 7
bit systems that use the left bracket key as a remap key may now
work properly with ANSI and VT terminals.
o Telix is forced to correct the version= line in TELIX.CNF if it
is incorrect. This should make the check of this variable by
third party scripts much more reliable.
o The SALT dial function now returns the proper value when the
dialing is aborted by the user.
o Changed the character used by Telix when remote aborts transfers
to thus avoiding placing a Control-Z into the capture file.
o Corrected Zmodem cps rates to reflect more accurate (faster) rates.
o Added /D command line parameter which lowers RTS on disk writes.
If you are getting a CRC error when your system writes to disk,
try using this option.
o Added a second, simple scripting language for non-programmers,
called SIMPLE. SALT remains untouched -- SIMPLE is an English ->
SALT translator. Complete docs on SIMPLE are enclosed.
o Added a BBS-calibre Host mode (doors, multiple message areas, etc)
formerly known as HOST 5.0 from Host Software Products. It is
now an integral part of Telix.
o File tagging for uploading files -- up to 100 files per transfer
-- has been added and extended to external protocols as well.
