Monday, 14 June 1993
====================
Amdox Corporation is delighted to announce the general availability of
the DOS version release of:
Recon(tm) version 2.20
Recon is an ASP(R) shareware CompuServe(R) format message file manager,
and Recon 2.20 will be available for trial shareware download on a number of
forums on CompuServe starting this week, and through the usual ASP channels
on BBS' and by disk vendors starting in July and August.
Recon 2.20 is a signficant upgrade in features and power, but still
remains within the comfortable Recon 2.01 "framework". Many of the most
asked for enhancement requests have now been attended to, some of the
highlights follow.
New STICKY Message Status Flags
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recon 2.20 now retains status flags across file loads/saves, and will
remind you of "UNREAD" or "NEEDS REPLY" message status. These are set and
removed for you *automatically*. You will quickly find them indispensible.
Reply Editor Enhancements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Import/Export from/to files or the Recon clipboard
Flexible line oriented cut&paste quoting, with nine import formats
Editor Block copy/move commands.
Illegal characters (like box line characters) are translated for you!
Auto-signatures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recon 2.20 will add a "signature" paragraph for you automatically, you
have the choice of global or forum-specific ones, or you can request a
special signature paragraph on-the-fly.
Metavariables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The message text or the auto-signatures can include a set of
"metavariables" (eg. $DATE$) that are expanded as Recon 2.20 posts your
message.
File|Load Enhancements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recon 2.20 boasts more efficient, and yet faster file loads. Some
problem files that you unexpectedly couldn't load before, you now can.
File|AGE Enhancements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
File AGEing is now even more flexible, and more robust.
Try before you buy
==================
These are some of the highlights, but there are more than a hundred
individual changes & enhancements!
If you wish a "try before you buy" advance look, look for the Recon
shareware files to download, available on TAPCIS forum, OS2AVEN forum, and
ZNT:UtilFor, as well as through regular ASP channels on BBS' and disk
vendors.

released.
