01-04-93 Added Support to keep new file date/time same as original file.
If upgrading, add a '1' or the word 'Yes' before the comm port line
if you wish to use this feature, else place a '0' or the word 'No'.
Do not use the ' marks of course.
FM104.ZIP new release name.
12-18-92 Official release! FM103.ZIP
12-12-92 Added an option to purge the entire work directory, use
with caution, it deletes EVERTHING in that dir.
12-10-92 Was still having problems on PcBoard systems, new code and
updated docs should take care of the problem. ;-)
Upgrades to this version should check the doc file for
possible changes to batch/protocol definition file updates.
If this works, hope this is the last change.
No config file changes required for this release.
Command line options bascially the same, some new additions.
12-05-92 Major Re-write. Several speed related optimizations to code.
Should handle single file xfers now as well as batch mode. Initial
test indicated a problem on PcBoard systems by passing batch mode
transfers and single file transfers.
Changed Config file format, Remove line 14! as it is no longer used.
This should be the last config file change! (I think..<G ).
Limited Beta Testing.
Current Filename is now FM101.ZIP.
11-22-92 Changed file handling routines.
Problems found on PcBoard systems,
Will not work with PCB's internal file xfers.
This or any other program cannot operate if PCB never exits.
PCB has 2 methods for external xfers, one for single file xfers
and one for batch mode, working on a fix.
11-14-92 More increased carrier detect on comm ports.
No problems reported from ßeta sites.
Minor code changes for optimizing speed.
QuickBBS users:
Just found out, QuickBBS does not have support for external
protocols, unless you are running a file door of some
type. File doors that use external protocols should not
be a problem. Using QuickBBS without a file door cannot
use this program as there are not any provisions to run
external programs before/after downloads and external
'command line driven' protocols does not exist.
Offical release for wide scale beta testing,
11-08-92 Added support for caller info files other than PcBoard.sys,
(Dorinfox.def, CallInfo.bbs, and Door.sys).
Added support to specify path/filename to caller info file.
Added support to specify path/filename to 'Zfiles' list, now
can be any filename.
Added support for Max Baud rate of modem so high speed locked
modems no longer problem detecting callers/locked baud rate.
Added support to run as 'stand alone' mode or to run as a
pre-processor to file xfer programs and can now be
added directly to file xfer command line.
Change to config file required.
First public ßeta testing. First limited release.

specific addresses.
