- Telix Copyright (C) 1986,87,88,89,90,91,92 by deltaComm Development
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- (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.
