BugS:
Well I'm sorry to say that Mx Light Version 1.0 had some bugs
that I could'nt catch. And in a way wish It would have never
been Released to the Public but if it had never been released
then I probley would'nt have found the bugs so easily.
Phone Book:
One of the Major Problems was the Phone Book, I wanted to keep
the Phone Book Very Simple Looking and simple to use but in
doing so I did'nt put in enought error checking. So if you
put in anything that was'nt a right answer the program would
halt with an IOError. Phone Book is now a Major Rewrite
check New Feature List later in this Text.
ANSI:
I forgot to open up the ComPort for ANSI output Incomming ANSI
worked fine but when a BBS went to Detect ANSI it could'nt
since I did'nt have the Port Open for output.
Zmodem:
When An Auto Zmodem Download was started the Upload Status
Screen would come up instead of the Download, That was a
Easy fix, I just said up when I should have said down.
Upload Batch would'nt allow more then one filename on
Ymodem Zmodem and Kermit, fixed were you can enter as
many filenames as you wish to upload batch.
Modem:
When Dialing a number in the Phone Book that had a diffrent
baud rate the current it would'nt change to new baud rate,
that is now fixed. Modem Responses Now working as well
Thanks:
Thanks to all the Bug Reporters and People who downloaded
Version 1.0 of Mx Light. If you already registered mx light
then you get this version for Free!! And thanks to the
People who did register so qwick after the release.
(Apply's to Version Upgrade 1.0 to 1.5 ONLY)
Also to Upgrade to Version 1.6 now!
Price:
No Changes here alot of People reported that their must be a bug
in the Price of Mx Light at $10.00 That's
the price $10.00, see register.txt
New to 1.6:
Version 1.5 was not very buggy I just had some new features that
I wanted to add so here it is Version 1.6. Did make major changes
to the Full Screen Editor and to the OS Shell now uses Disk and or
EMS Swapping. Status Line now does something lets you know if
Doorway is on or off. Tells you your Terminal Emulation and what
ComPort is Active as well if Capture is On or Off.
New to 1.7
Version 1.6 was Ok I more or less just added new features and
fixed a couple of small bugs. ANSI would act strange at times
such as Clearing End of Line in Full screen editors some times
when you did'nt want it to. Should be fine now.
Added Chat Modem Alt-T to Toggle. Added Buffer Sizing Alt-B
to change your buffer size. The Phone book is looking much
better now and you can have your Username and Password for
each number. Added 8k Zmodem.
Everthing seems to be working good now from 300 to 57600 baud
and com1 thur com4 and upto Com8 on a Ps2
═════════════════════════[ NEW FEATURES ]════════════════════════════
NEW:
Now I'll give you a run down of the New features in Mx Light
version 1.5
Added 200 number capabilty to the Phone Book.
Added Scroll Bar to Phone Book.
Added Baud Detection to the Phone Book.
Made the Phone Book easier to Read and Use
Now just put the scroll bar on the Number you
want to Dial,Kill,Mod,Clear and hit Enter or
the Character and it's doon Know More having
to Hit Enter Twice to get something done.
->I think your really going to like the new
->Phone Book.
Full Screen Editor Added, I've added a Full
Screen Editor with Word Wrap, that you can
use anytime your in Mx Light just hit Alt-E
in the editor another menu on it's bottom
scroll bar gives you the commands for the
editor.
Auto Sensing ANSI DETECT Added Mx Light
uses it's own ANSI Driver so No ANSI driver
need be loaded in DOS to use ANSI.
Batch Upload Added.
You now have the choice of having the Exploding
Window's or Just Normal Qwik Windows for
everthing, Also you can toggle this inside of
Mx Light by hitting Alt-W to toggle Exploding
and Sliding Windows.
You can now Change your baud rate with out having
to change the config file just hit Alt-P and
Pick a baud from 300 to 115200 bps.
The Menu's and Window's should seem a little
faster I changed them alittle bit for speed.
Version 1.6 Added Capture File, Changed the Editor more
fixes to the Phone Book. Added Avatar and
Vt100 Emulation.
Version 1.7 Added Chat Modem, Added 8k Zmodem Added new
features to the Phone Book. Added away to
register the Program without haveing to
Ship you a new Version. So now it's just
$10.00 Flat rate no shipping.
Added Buffer Change. More Fixes to the
ANSI and Phone Book.
═══════════════════════[ SYSTEM REQUIRMENTS ]═════════════════════════
IBM XT,AT,PS/2 or any half way compattible is all you need to run
Mx Light with atleast 256k Ram.
You can run Mx Light on a Floppy Based system if you wish but
I would Recommend Downloading to A Ram drive if at all possible
for Speed. But if you don't have the ram and only a floppy based
system don't worry about it, will work Ok.
A Modem Fast(115200 Bps) or Slow(300 Bps) Mx Light don't mind.
One Very nice Feature for the requirments section is that you
don't need an ANSI driver loaded to use ANSI on BBS's Mx Light
Handles it's own ANSI so if you only use ANSI on BBS's take this
line out of your config.sys to save you some RAM
DEVICE=ANSI.SYS or it might be DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS whatever
way it's in their you don't need it but if you want to leave it
in that's ok to Mx Light will still use it's own ANSI driver
but it want interfer with the one loaded in Dos in anyway.
Well that's about it, I hope everbody enjoy's this new version of Mx Light
I know I've enjoyed working on it(Most of the Time).
