│▐▐▐▐ WHAT'S NEW IN URD VERSION 1.01 │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The following has changed in this version of URD :
∙ URD is now RemoteAccess 2.00.g1 compatible. Because it's not
possible at this moment to include the new RA structures into
the RA 1.11 version of URD, I've included 2 URD.EXE files in the
archive (in URD-R111.ARJ and URD-R200.ARJ). Unpack the one you
need. Both EXE files have the same features.
∙ If SHARE is loaded, URD will now lock the NEWUSER.ASW file when
it's writing the answers of the users. So if you're running a
multi-line system, be sure to have SHARE loaded (but you will
probably have ;-). If URD finds the NEWUSER.ASW file locked by
another copy of URD running on another line, it will wait for a
maximum of 10 seconds for an unlock. When waiting, URD will
return timeslices back to DESQview.
∙ Fixed the problem that URD wouldn't update the users timelimit
correctly in most cases. Tests show that RA 2.00 (not tested on
RA 1.11) will mostly deduct one minute by itself when URD is
returning back to the BBS. This problem can't be caused by URD,
because URD writes a correct EXITINFO.BBS.
∙ There were some reports that URD locked up the computer
completly. If you encounter these problems too, please contact
me with a detailed discription of your system and software
running on your system. If possible send me your .CTL and .Qxx
files with ANS/AVT screens.
∙ Changed the log style a little bit. URD will now also log time-
and securitylevel updates when made.
∙ You can now supply the name of the CTL to be read. This will
allow you to run different questionnaires, without having
multiple copies of URD.EXE. Don't include an extension of the
filename, because URD will automatically add the extension to it
for the file which is needed. For example if you have a
questionnaire NEWUSER, you will start URD as :
URD NEWUSER
This will internally be expanded and URD will try to open
NEWUSER.CTL and NEWUSER.Q01 (and NEWUSER.Q02 etc...). All files
must still be in the URD directory (which doesn't have to be the
current directory!).
If you find any problem concerning URD, please feel free to contact
me at my bulletin board or through echomail. Support is available
via a number of echomail areas in different nets, but I'm reading
at least the International FidoNet RA_UTIL area. You can also
contact me via netmail (see URD.DOC for addresses).
Marco.
