VERSION.DOC
Matthew Dillon
891 Regal Rd.
Berkeley, Ca. 94708
uunet.uu.net!overload!dillon
The version and sub version of most executables in the distribution may
be retrieved by running the 'uident' program on the executable(s).
Source directories contain (sporatically) Version.DOC files with
remarks on sub-versions for specific executables. This file contains
overall remarks on the main version id.
1.06D
NEW NEWS READER: DNews
can specify AT commands in dial string in L.sys file, see
man/L.sys (uucico .10)
UUSER: timeout for programs started up by a Getty default now
5 minutes instead of 1 second.
GIO.C (UUCico) fixed yet again
Time restriction field in L.Sys (that was always 'Any' before) is
now implemented curtisy of Christopher Wichura (see man/L.sys)
DOS requesters disabled during a security check of a directory (so
non-existant volumes do not freeze up the program with a requester)
All executables compile under DCC (which nobody but I has), as well
as Lattice.
DMail now sticks your signature after any included text rather than
before. DMail no longer adds a Cc: line. DMail now deleted
T:Original when it is done with it.
UUxqt can be run multiple times in parallel... the second will wait
until the first finishes before beginning its scan.
ANews now checks <user>.signature before falling back to .signature.
You have always been able to program the 'header' variable in dmail
to use different signature files.
RNews extensively rewritten to increase efficiency and remove line
length limitations.
UUCP transfers using ~/path and ~user/path are now supported for
both local and remote names, sent and requested files. Refer to
MAN/UUCP.
1.051D
uucico now allows combined -r1 -ssysname option, means 'call
this system only if there is work'. This is useful if you are
calling a machine that is likely to be busy. You can setup a DCron
entry to run uucico several times without actually calling the
system unless there is work.
Fixed uucico -x9 bug (Config Debug entry would overide
command line debug specification).
Fixed MAJOR uucico bug in GIO.C !!!!
Fixed possible DME problem
1.05D
ENV:USER enviroment variable now works in DMail to overide
default UserName in Config. DMail also sticks your signature
at the end of the file instead of at the beginning.
Config entries now exist to overide default directories for
standard places. If the particular config entry does not
exist the assigns are used (UULIB:, UUSPOOL:, etc..) .. you
can even get rid of the UULIB: assign in which case the Config
file should be placed in S: as S:UUConfig .
Config entries now exist to specify the location of library
programs such as Sendmail, Uuxqt, etc... If a given Config
entry does not exist the program is assumed to be in the
current path.
The new GIO.C now supports a window size of up to 7 ala
Jack J. Rouse. Other GIO problems fixed (I hope)
Greg's changes to the NEWS code in place. dynamic sizing of
mail fields fixed (loosly incorporating Greg's changes to
said programs).
I have added a POST and REPLY command to ANEWS. You can also
POST to a newsgroup that doesn't exist (or is all read) by
using 'anews -p newsgroup' from the command line.
Source code has been rearranged a little.
Various limits have been extended.
1.04D
Getty now works with utilities that open the serial.device in
exclusive mode (by SetFunction()ing the serial device's open
vector).
bug in dmail fixed (if new mail arrives while you are in dmail
you could loose the new mail).
1.03D
slight changes to postnews (now uses DomainName)
Domains fixed (effects only people who use UULIB:Domain)
sendmail more intelligent about checking argv[0] to see
if it is rmail (now works with WShell)
UUCP:LIB paths changed to UULIB:
uupoll no longer needs 'brun'
Problems.DOC file added
1.02D
stack warning in SlowSetup.DOC added (stack should be at least
8192). 'Stack 8192' added to sample startup sequence. RNews
warning (RNews takes a huge amount of RAM currently) added.
1.01D
UUCP:LIB paths fixed to use UULIB:
