- ========================================
- Version 1.00 - 09 Dec 91 - It's snowing!!
- ========================================
-
- - First MEGA release :-)
-
- =========================================
- Version 1.01 - 10 Dec 91 - It's coooold!!
- =========================================
-
- - SHIT!! Reported a bug by my great friend Simone :
- if HOLD dir was empty, PURGE mode of SkyTick fall in loop :-(, sorry but
- I have always at least 200 files in my HOLD directory :-)
-
- =========================================
- Version 1.10 - 14 Dec 91 - It's coooold!!
- =========================================
-
- - Now SkyTick fully support 4D addressing, i.e. you can write things
- like this in the config file :
-
- FILEECHO SKYUTILS #1
- TO 2:331/106.8
- TO 11:10/2.2
-
- Etc, etc, the same for the PASSWORD keyword.
- - Fixed a bug in config file parsing routines (sometimes SkyTick sent files
- to strange nodes!).
- - Added dupes checking! Look at the DUP keyword in config file!
- If you have dupes checking turned on, SkyTick will store all filenames and
- CRCs processed in a file-database, and then it will check all inbound files
- against the database in order to put in BAD dupes one.
- - New command line option in WRITE mode:
-
- [-Z<Split>] Max number of lines in message
-
- If in WRITE mode the body has more than <Split> lines the message will
- be split in n messages.
- Useful for brain-dead message processor that doesn't support long
- messages. Default is 100 lines for message.
- - New method to calculate MSGID: lines in order to prevent dupes on very fast
- Amiga.
-
- =========================================
- Version 1.20 - 20 Dec 91 - It's coooold!!
- =========================================
-
- - Fixed 4D addressing bug, now works great!
- - Fixed other little bugs!
- - Now SkyTick creates Pointers.file and file.dat if they doesn't exist
-
- ====================================================
- Version 1.30 - 24 Dec 91 - Santa Claus is coming :-)
- ====================================================
-
- - Fixed bug in PASSWORD keyword parsing.
- - New type of file echo :
-
- MSDOSECHO -> In this echo all filenames will be checked in order to be
- Ms-DOS compatible
-
- AMIGAECHO -> Filenames will NOT be checked and it is the same of
- FILEECHO for compatibilty with older config file
-
- =========================================
- Version 1.40 - 23 Jan 92 - It's snowning
- =========================================
-
- - Fixed a bug in MSDOSECHO
- - Fixed small bug
- - Added FREE keyword in config file, if present, it will upload all files
- with flag FREE set. Idea by Leon Shaner
-
- ==========================
- Version 2.00 - 10 Jan 92 -
- ==========================
-
- - Modified AMIGAECHO and MSDOSECHO for Areafix compatibility. Now you can
- set the area type with the TYPE keyword.
-
- TYPE AMIGA -> Set amiga-style fileecho
- TYPE MSDOS -> Set msdos-style fileecho
-
- msdos-style fileecho is the default.
- AMIGAECHO and MSDOSECHO are NO MORE supported. You must use FILEECHO now.
- - SkyTick now puts zone:net/node.point as filenotes of outbound *.TIC
- - Added replace feature in both Tick and Hatch function. This should be
- a very useful feature for often-update programs. When you hatch a file
- you are asked to insert the 'replace' file, if you give it, the new file
- will delete and replace the old file. I.e.
-
- If you hatch FOO150.LHA and replace FOO140.LHA, when SkyTick will process
- the .TIC it will delete FOO140.LHA from your file area and upload FOO150.LHA
-
- For this reason I've added the DELPATH keyword in SkyTick.CFG, it's syntax
- is:
-
- DELPATH <Path>
-
- This keyword is optional, but if enabled will move any replaced filename
- in <Path> instead of simply delete it.
- Last, if you want to turn off the replace feature (i.e, you don't want
- SkyTick to delete your old files), just write the keyword 'NOREPLACE' in
- SkyTick.CFG.
- - Added COMMAND <string> feature, if present, SkyTick will execute
- <string> each time a file is processed/hatched in a given area.
- Tokens available for COMMAND keyword :
-
- %a - Areatag
- %n - Filename
- %t - Time & date the file was received
- %l - File lenght
- %c - File CRC
- %d - File Description
- %z - File Origin (zone)
- %f - File Origin (net)
- %q - File Origin (node)
- %p - File Origin (point)
-
- Example:
-
- COMMAND c:rx rexx:myscript %a %n "%d" %c
-
- Note: The string should be NOT contained between '"' (only brain-dead
- parsers require it :-) :-) ).
- - PURGE command is now 10-20 times faster :)
- - During HATCH mode, if you type "NONE" as Area Tag, the fill will be simply
- uploaded to the DLG file area, w/o sending it to anyone.
