Aura Mail Reader, First public release, september 13, 1995
Thank you for participating in our beta-test program.
The following limitations are known:
-> AMR does NOT reliably run with WARP beta I. Some functions of this
OS/2 release are seriously damaged. However, WARP beta II does work
fine, as does OS/2 V3 Warp, all releases.
-> The documentation is not fully developed yet. Please make notes or
suggestions we might incorporate in our final release. All
documentation currently supplied is on-line. We intend to keep it
that way.
Installing instructions:
Please execute the install program from the directory you unpacked into.
After having installed AMR, using the install program, please be sure to
configure the following items:
1. Setup=>Conference, This option defines global settings for all new
maildatabases.
2. Setup=>General, please define correct paths to your directories and
unpackers. You can NOT specify a root directory.
More details are available in the online help.
Modifications made resulting into the first public release:
-> Added a test to suspend background packet processing if the used
packet/area is opened by the message-browser.
-> Background unpacking scans the download directory each minute for
the availability of new packets.
-> Improved Find interface and processing.
-> Second Mouse Button now shows pop-up menu whenever available.
Modifications made to beta release 4:
-> Oldest .QWK files are processed first (FIFO)
-> If you do not specify a textviewer, AMR uses it's internal viewer.
-> Font selection now only selects fonts that are available for all
languages.
-> Editor and browser are now "iconized" on minimize.
-> Proper disabling of screen behind browser and editor.
-> Repeatedly pressing ALT-F4 should not produce a SYSTEM error.
-> Esc now terminates the editor too.
-> Improved "first time" setup.
-> EXE directory can be queried for by DDE.
-> It's now possible to edit a message.
-> Index/messagelist now shows the proper colors for the "From" column.
-> DDE automatic message update is now possible.
-> More stabile Date & Time layout-detection from the OS2.INI file.
-> Improved HELP disabling if no help-file is found.
-> No tagline is added if you did not select one.
Modifications made to beta release 3:
-> The index/messagelist is improved; uses color and proportional font.
-> New switch: Allow duplicates, this allows duplicates for an entire
messagedatabase. If this option is checked, the following applies:
Duplicate messages get a new unique number starting at 100000. This
avoids messages being rejected from the database but it also allows
you to pollute your database.
-> Import of QWK packets improved. There are some systems that do not
generate messagenumbers at all!
-> Total number of messages now shows number of messages in last packet.
(Info-window showed the total available number of messages)
-> If no "%1" argument was specified in the global settings an incomplete
command could be issued. Now, if no "%1" is found, the arguments are
simply appended to the command.
-> Automatic management of Welcome, New Files, News, Bulletins and Goodbye
did not always update those files under certain circumstances.
-> Available as separate utilities, you can convert CompuServe and Squish
messagefiles to .QWK format files.
These files are available as:
CS2QWK.Lzh : CompuServe message to QWK message format converter.
SQ2QWK.Lzh : Squish message to QWK message format converter. These
messages use the unique messagenumber from the .SQI file
and not a squential number!
Thank you again for trying our products.
