Additions since v2.10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FLM213S.ARJ - 14/3/93 - Changes
1) Fixed various bugs in local uploads
2) Fixed bug in extract from archive and tag for download
3) Support now for RA 2.00 (Gamma)
- to use, FLM2 EDITCFG
then change BBS Type from 'R' to '2'
4) Also note that Ian Battersby's Node Manager now also handles FLM's
Advanced UserOn Codes. FLM2 uses codes 200-220 to define specific
things user is doing. Ian has kindly added these to his program.
So, if you are a multiline system using RANETMGR, then use
NodeManager instead and you no longer will see "External Door" as the
users activity.
FLM212S.ARJ - 02/2/93 - Updates
1) Enhanced Virus Scanning system to ensure all files in an archive are
checked. ie FLM also unpacks archives within archives to any level, and
also detects Self-Extracting archives and checks files inside those as
well as the SFX itself.. basically I think every file possible will be
checked now.
2) Ok, due to much requesting I've enhanced FLM's download limits for users.
Previously, FLM basically only allowed what RA told it could allow,
through info in the ExitInfo.BBS file. However, this didn't take account
of download/upload ratios that you could specify, unless you used FLM's
subscription system.
These features are all added now, and in fact the system is taken beyond
RA's current capability.
If a file called LIMITS.FLM, which is similar in format to RA's
LIMITS.CTL, is present in the FLM2 Data Directory then the download
limits for a user is imposed using the info in it. The file LIMITS.FLM
is created using a text editor, and contains lines of the following
format. Note the only difference to a RA limits.ctl file is the
additional 3 columns for download amounts at 12000,14400 and 16800 baud
rates, and the Time column is used differently.
<SecLvl> <Time%> <300> [1200] [2400] [4800] [9.6] [12.0] [14.4] [16.8]
or:
<SecLvl> <Time%> <300> <1200> <2400> <4800> <9.6> <12.0> <14.4> <16.8> <R#> [RK]
In a simple case an example of this file would be:
%TIME 00:00 24:00
%ADJUSTTIME
5 80 100
10 80 500
100 80 1000
ie. At security level 5, the user can download 100 Kb of files, and at
security level 10 the user can download 500 kb and so on.
The Time% column is ignored unless you have added the Command
%ADJUSTTIME
In this situation, FLM2 treats the figures in the Time% column as a
percentage of the users Time Limit, that the user is allowed to use
for downloading. So, if on loading FLM2 the user had 60 minutes left
then FLM2 would only allow them to download for 80% of that time.
In addition, you can have sets of limits for different times of the day.
To use this, you simply proceed a block of limits with the line
%TIME HH:MM HH:MM
where the first set of HH:MM represents the starting time, and the second
set being the finishing time.
3) Fixed bug where Customised Menu screens weren't being displayed for any
other menu besides Menu #0
4) Have now added an internal User Record Editor for both RA and SBBS.
This is invoked with the Alt+E keystroke when a user is online.
Note: Flm2 no longer calls FLMUSER, which I don't think was working
anyway.
5) Fixed logic error, where FLM2 wasn't fully checking user going over limits
with extracted files from archives.
6) Stopped FLM2 allowing you to move a file to another store, when there
is already a file there with the same name. It was simply overwriting
it before.
7) Added to the colour selector, ability to select Blink colours.
8) Found occasional errors occuring in Weekly Graph .A?? creation.
These now fixed, while at it added 2 more graphs FLM#SYSF.A??
and FLM#SYSB.A?? which reports on System dates rather than Upload dates.
9) Have gone through the install section thouroughly to make sure it can
and does install without problems.. namely running out of memory.
Some of the code tightening, may help in some other areas too.
ie. Double descriptions.
A) Optimised a few routines for speed. Loads a bit quicker now.
B) As reported, Alt+F5 (Unpack and Shell) wasn't always working
in Viewer/Editor - now fixed.
C) Noticed that re-date archives wasn't always putting the right
date.
D) Made some of the pop-up windows 2 lines, so as to avoid lockups
when displaying long paths.
E) Altered the Download & Upload log entries to be closer to RA
for use by third party software, namely MOM.
F) Extended the field for Command Lines in Protocol/Config
G) Just a note, as it was already there. *S is a valid macro
in Protocol Command Lines for User Baud Rate. For those who
wanted to add estimate 0 *S to DSZ command lines.
H) imporved INSTALL section to cover files with very long descriptions
ie. those greater than 250 characters.
FLM211S.ARJ - 10/1/93 - Updates
1) Configuration of all colours and screen behaviours when in sysop
mode. Configuration/System Colours to do this.
also added command line parameter /MONO to automatically
use monochrome colours.
2) Added Local download and Upload portion.
3) Improved INSTALL facility for better support of long descriptions,
ie. greater than 250 characters. Limit is now 1024 characters.
4) Other general operational improvements.
5) Added Configurable Date look. Configuration/System for option
to change the way dates are displayed.
6) Added facility to re-date archived files after an Archive Convert
or Archive Banner. Date is taken as being the last date from files
inside archive.
7) Added Configurable Bannering of files in Stores
a) there is an additional field in Configuration/Storage
where you can specify the numbers 0 to 7, which represent
7 separate banner files and 1 option to mean no bannering.
0 to 6 - represent the text files BANNERn.TXT
where n is in the range 0 to 6. I suggest you
use 0 as a default banner.
All the Banner files must reside in the
FLM2 Data Directory.
7 - FLM2 will not banner any file in that store.
b) to use these different banner files, you need to
alter the command line to Banner files, in
Configuration/Archivers. An additional macro is now
available to specify which of the banner files to use.
substitute where you currently have the name of the textfile
which is your banner with *B
*B will be replaced by the path and filename of the text
file to be used.
you should make a copy of your standard logo and call it
BANNER0.TXT and locate this in the FLM2 Data Directory.
8) Updated ARCHIVER.FLM file included to make use of PkZIP v2.04
features.
