- LiveWire 2.2 (r2)
- April 22, 1994
-
- REVISION 2
- ==========
- LiveWire 2.2 was released on April 20th. Since that release a few
- relatively important but easy to fix problems were noted by users.
- The following changes were made:
-
- 1. Expanded flexibility of the file renaming system. Including a single
- digit after a % command causes the string to be at most that number
- of characters. For example, %2e will insert an extension of at most
- two characters.
-
- The default rename format is now %f.%2e%n
- which will rename a file DMBBS.QWK to DMBBS.QW1, DMBBS.QW2, etc.
-
- 2. Fixed a bug that was causing macros to not save properly in some cases.
-
- 3. RTS/CTS state was not being changed immediately when configuration was
- exited.
-
- 4. Default setting for Zmodem Resume is now "Ask."
-
- Only approximately 30 people recieved LiveWire 2.2 without these
- revisions, so I thought it would be a good idea to make these
- changes now before LiveWire 2.2 gets into the distribution lines.
