C O M M U N I Q U É
Version 1.11
March 1993
SOME of the changes made
to version 1.10
─────────────
For a complete list of the features of Communiqué v1.11 please
read the FEATURES.DOC document supplied within this archive.
─────────────
o Fixed a bug in the hardware flow control that in some situations
caused CU to stay permanently in terminal not ready state. This
is an important bug fix, as it was causing large problems when
people were using hardware flow control with high-speed modems
such as the new ZyXELs and HST modems.
o I have changed the length of all macro strings to 220 characters.
If you have any macro files (*.CMF) then you should run the
upgrade program (UPGRADE.EXE) supplied in this release.
o Added the Area Code Prefix and Country Code into the Modem and
Dialling Setup menu. If the telephone number (must be preceded by
a '+') contains the Country or Area code as set in the Setup/Modem
menu then it strips that part out, if it strips out the country
code but not the area code it will place the Area Code Prefix into
the number string. The Country Code and Area Code should be in the
form of "+61-2" or just "+352".
o I have managed to wrangle quite a bit more speed out of the main
processing loop. You should see a noticable difference if your
modems DTE rate is locked at 19200 and above.
o Added a new option in the SETUP/MODEM/ADVANCED menu to set the
16550 FIFO inturrupt trigger level. This should normally be set
to 14 bytes.
o Fixed a bug that disabled the 16550 Uart FIFO buffer after
returning from a DOS shell.
o The estimated transfer time used in all file transfer protocols
now uses the DCE (Modem to Modem) baudrate as opposed to the
DTE (Computer to Modem) baudrate.
o Fixed the Zmodem bad header problem when using auto-zmodem
downloads on high speed modems.
o Communiqué will now change the baudrate to the setting in the
dialling directory entry before dialling that entry. The baudrate
will be returned to the previous setting if the dial was
unsuccessful. The baudrate will not be changed if you have the
com port locked.
o Made changes to the way CU handles user customised com port
setups. If the ports interrupt number is changed then CU will
now look up a table for IRQ vectors instead of relying on the
user to set the correct vector for the interrupt.
o Fixed a bug where CU was not using 43/50 line when the setup
screen size said to use the DOS default mode.
o Fixed a bug that did not restore the bottom line if you entered
Full Screen Chat mode without a status bar.
o You are now told if capture is open when you enter chat mode if
you have Auto-ChatMode Capture on.
o You are now asked to confirm changes to the baudrate if you
press ALT-B and change the baudrate when you have the com port
locked.
o Fixed the wildcard bug in the FILE menu load and save functions.
o Fixed a spelling bug on the ALT status bar ALT [5] should have
been ALT [F5].
o Many other cosmetic changes have been made, plus areas of the
code have been changed to lower memory requirments and increase
speed.
