- *****VERSION 1.14 CMPQwk Reader Readme.txt*****
-
- Changes:
-
- Version 1.14 fixes all KNOWN bugs that were in version 1.13.
-
- The method the program uses to build list boxes and large conference
- lists was enhanced and accelerated when handling huge QWK packets.
-
- Preliminary efforts at wordwrap have been added (the logic for
- this is not yet finished, but it's enough of an improvement over
- the truncation method that we decided to release it). Do NOT
- expect "perfect" wordwrapping at this point. That feature is a
- "work in progress."
-
- Fixed a bug in the Search feature.
-
- The program now can handle 65,000 conferences (assuming you have
- the memory on your system to do that) with 16,000 message in each
- conference. At this writing it makes CMPQwk one of only two
- known QWK readers in the world that can acheive this. To our
- knowledge, there is no BBS in the world that can create a packet
- too large for CMPQwk to open (given that you have sufficient RAM
- and disk space on the system trying to read it).
-
- The beta program was opened up to registered users. Their
- suggestions and comments have been quite helpful.
-
- The help file was revised and further expanded to provide
- more information regarding search and the Message Header
- dialogue.
-
- If you do not have a sound card, you can delete the following
- files after the install: 001-009.DLL and DODAD.DLL.
-
- ***
-
- If you are upgrading from a previous version, just copy the updated
- files into your CMPQwk directory. Be sure CMPQwk is NOT running
- when you do this, or nasty things will happen and you'll curse
- a lot.
-
- If you are installing a completely new copy of the program, unpack
- the files CQWK114A.ZIP and CQWK114B.ZIP into a temporary directory
- (anywhere on your hard disk where you have the space). From the
- Windows Program Manager pick File, Run, and either click browse to
- locate SETUP.EXE inside the temporary directory, or type the path
- to the temporary directory and setup (C:\TEMP\SETUP.EXE).
-
- When setup loads, it will ask you from where it is installing. Make
- sure it has the correct directory listed and then click on OK (or
- press Enter). It will ask you where you'd like to install CMPQwk, so
- type the path where you'd like it to install (the default is C:\CMPQWK).
-
- Setup will copy some files and create a CMPQWK.INI file in your Windows
- directory. It will also prompt you to add a CMPQWK icon if Program
- Manager is your shell. Select the group in which to add it and click OK.
-
- When it's finished, it will tell you and then you may exit.
-
- Delete the files inside the temporary directory. The first time you run
- the program it will open a sample packet. Browse through the sample packet
- and when you're through, click on the Options menu and go confirm all of
- the program's paths and settings (see the help file for detailed instructions
- about this). The most important settings are QWK, REP, and WORK paths.
-
- Everything else can be changed to your taste after you've used the
- program a bit.

- Our upgrade policy from other QWK readers has been vastly simplified.
- Read UPGRADE.TXT or UPGRADE.WRI (if you like nice fonts) to see how to do
