KMAIL293 - 10/04/92
- Allow Net sysops to deselect forced conferences.
- Added .CFG parms RO1=, RO2=, and RO3= to allow defination
of up to three Read-Only conferences. (see sample CFG)
- If a "disk-full" condition was encountered while scanning
messages Kmail would currupt memory an cause a system lockup.
Finally nailed this one down after many hours of tracing.
- Fixed runtime error 201 in conference selection routine.
- Added .CFG parms FC1=, FC2=, and FC3= to allow defining
forced conferences. (ex: FC1=0) to force conference 0.
- Added code to check the required security level to enter
messages. This allows the sysop to define read-only
conferences by using a negative number in in the added_security
field of one or more conferences.
- Broke the extended services file send in v2.92, Fixed!
- Added support for 12000 carrier speed, you'll need to add
a Speed=12000 to KMAIL.CFG file.
KMAIL292 - 07/05/92
Added additional offline configuration options. In addition
to the normal Add, Drop, and Reset... the following new
options are accepted by Kmail:
Yours # (select a conference and scan only Your mail)
YA # (select a conference and scan your mail +
mail addressed to All).
The # is an optional parameter. If positive the last-read
is set to that value, if negative, the last-read pointer
is set to that number of messages below the high number.
Fixed an unusual case where bi-directional xfers would fail.
More adjustments to the routine handling the NoTime option.
Added the ability to run KMail from a batch file using the
PCB /localon switch. Uploading, downloading and stacked
commands are all supported. See sample KMBATCH.BAT file.
Changes in NoTime processing to prevent crediting too much
time in some cases.
Added NoTime=Yes/No option in the CFG file.
Closed security exposure when using the Block-Add routine
to select conferences.
Changed the wording on the conference Block-Add function
to help clarify the meaning of the prompt.
Disabled checking the BBS name in the KMAIL.KEY file due to
the problems associated with multi-node systems having a
unique name on each node. Now, only the sysop name is checked.
Corrected processing of the .PNT file. Last-read pointers
were out of sync by one conference.
Added a check when downloading in local mode to test if a
QWK file already exists in the target directory. The user
is given the option to continue or cancel the operation.
Installed filters to test for invalid/non-displayable chars
in the To/From name field of the message header record. These
invalid characters would prevent TCAN filters from working.
Any messages with invalid characters will be TCAN'ed by KMail.
KMAIL291A 03/09/92
Automatic logoff was not working correctly if Disable_Goodbye
option was enabled in the CFG file.
KMAIL291 - 03/05/92
Broke the bulletin scan routine earlier in this beta cycle.
It ended up trying to scan bulletins from the highest
numbered conference. Fixed!
Added the beginning of multi-lingual support. You may now
customize the following files with a .language extension
as necessary. The English versions will NOT have a .extension.
KMail also supports the PCB @XX color codes in these files.
NEWUSER
PNTMSG
KMHELP
===> The KMAIL.HLP has been renamed to just KMHELP. Please delete
===> the old version and use the new help file with this version.
Any sequence of stacked U/D commands are now accepted.
KMAIL U D Y G or KMAIL D Y U G will work just fine now.
Local mode now works exactly the same as remote callers.
The .PNT file now contains message pointers of both BEFORE
and AFTER the mail download. When resetting message pointers
the caller may choose which set to use.
Added "File Send" services, see KMail DOC under heading
Extended Services for info.
Changed "Want to Receive this Packet" prompt to require
a specific match rather than default to No.
Added enhanced error messages in a couple of places to help
isolate a problem reading CNAMES.@@@
Added Fido style tag line support. Use: Fido_Tag=Yes in CFG.
Revised security checking to test for "Locked" conferences
and expired security levels.
KMail now adds user for Yours Only if a message is uploaded
into a non-selected conference. (subject to security checks)
No longer strip the NE: from the Subject line so the the
receiver will be aware that the message is local only.
Added message to indicate MESSAGES.DAT has reached limit.
PreZip process failed when scanning for the name in USERS
record #1. This bug has been here since day 1 and nobody
has tried doing this until recently.
Changed BBSID.PTR to BBSID.PNT to avoid conflict with Rnet.
Fixed error 201 which occured processing a REP packet if the
message + the tag line ended exactly on the last byte of any
given message buffer.
Changed logic in the conference selection routine to avoid
the "Conference out of Range" message. The user is now moved
directly to the appropriate selection panel.
Added ability to specify maximum MESSAGES.DAT size.
Fixed error 201 at 0051:2D3E in the PTR processing routine.
It couldn't handle a message number greater than 65,535.
New option "Sysop_Alias=" is implemented in the CFG file. This
option is intended for those Sysops who may have something
other than their real name in record #1 of users. Using this
option will cause messages addressed to the alias name to be
included in the personal index of a download packet. The
messages will also be marked as having been read. This option
has no effect when uploading.
KMAIL290 - 12/22/91
Fixed a long standing problem that caused a caller to be
returned to CONF 255 if the door was opened from within any
conference greater that 255.
Adjusted routines so that CTRL-K will abort the message scan.
Added check for carrier-loss in the conference scan routine.
New parm "Disable=xx" added to configuration to indicate the
number of minutes prior to event to prohibit downloading.
Kmail was incorrectly asking for qwk/rep location after
receiving a .REP using a bi-directional protocol.
Due to debugging code enabled, Kmail was trying to read
CONFINFO causing an error message. Fixed!
Adjustments made to handle EZ 2.0 reply packets.
Chat time was not being credited to the caller
Network status was not being granted for private conferences.
KMAIL289 - 11/11/91
Due to debugging code left in a routine, the Speed parms
were not being processed from the CFG file.
KMAIL288 - 11/09/91
Added additional user option "Message Limits" to allow
callers to specify messages per conference and overall
number of messages. (not to exceed system defaults).
Added HS/Link protocol support. Just add the appropriate
HS= and HR= entries to KMail.CFG to enable HS/Link.
Expanded TPA bytes to 18 to allow saving the date/time of
files sent via the SysFile function and to allow for
future functions.
Using PCBSM, select "User Info File Maintenance" and update
the KMAIL Third Party Application entry with the following info.
==> Version : 30 <---- This changed!
==> Static Size : 18 <---- This changed!
Dynamic Size : 1
Keyword : KMAIL
Network status not enabled correctly on some systems when
Ignore_Echo=Yes was in effect. Fixed!
Corrected new files scan when in conferences > 255.
Added an option to prevent the caller from logging off
from within the door. Include: Disable_Goodbye=Yes
in the KMAIL.CFG to enable this option.
Update the time-used and time-left fields more frequently
to try and keep them in sync with PCBoard.
KMAIL287 - 08/26/91
Added ability to transmit network adminstration files
within the QWK packet. See heading SYSFILE.DAT in docs.
Increased HEAP and STACK allocations to see if that will
prevent the lockup that a couple of people have reported.
KMAIL286 - 08/14/91
Midnight boundry still causing a problem. Revised elapsed
time checking to cover all cases that I can think of.
KMAIL285 - 08/11/91
Fixed a problem for multinode systems where an abend would
occur during the New File scan if PCBFiler was also running.
Fixed a midnight boundry problem that could cause a user to
have ZERO time the following day. This could happen if the
KMail session spanned the midnight boundry and the caller
logged off from within the KMail door.
Added the KWORK drive and path info to the %3 parm passed
to Xmodem protocol batch files.
No longer translate @USER@ to real name if caller has
network status.
Added user selectable mail scan option to allow scanning
of "Personal" + "To All" messages.
Updated KMAIL.HLP file.
Changes to allow KMail to use the protocol batch files
from the KMail subdirectory when present.
Strip trailing blanks from entries in the .CFG file.
Some editors were doing this, causing a problem.
KMail was appending a TAG line to messages imported from
other systems. This is incorrect, TAG's should only be
appended to messages which originate on your system. Fixed!
The help info would not display on the first invocation by a
user, except for the sysop. That's why I missed it. Fixed!
KMAIL284 - 07/13/91
Fixed yet another failure to set the mail-waiting flags.
Added TAG line support. (See .CFG for details.)
Also included with this level are new Welcome and Welcomeg
files. Be sure and include them in your \KMAIL directory
unless you have customized your own version.
KMAIL283 - 07/06/91
Added @XX color codes to the KMAIL.HLP file.
Corrected an intermittent problem causing the mail waiting
flags to not be set.
SCRIPT0 processing was causing an unexpected "Enter to
Continue" prompt to the caller. Disabled displaying
the script0 file for now.
KMAIL282 - 07/01/91
Added processing to set the "Mail Waiting" flags for the
various conferences during message importing. A .CFG option
Mail_Waiting=Yes/No is provided to disable it.
====> KMAIL.HLP has been changed to a new format, be sure and
put the new version into your \KMAIL directory.
Fixed a runtime 201 error caused by trying to set the
"has been read" flag of a purged message.
Corrected Xmodem %1 and %2 parms, they were reversed.
The SCRIPT0 file is now processed directly from the
location specified in PCBSetup.
Fixed the System News file processing which was broken
a few levels back. The System News file processing now
respects the PCBSetup option to only send "new" news.
KMAIL281 - 06/14/91
Included options in the CFG file to control ARC and LHA
processing. (ARC=Yes/No and LHA=Yes/No).
Altered processing of SCRIPT0 file to prevent a message
from LHA if the SCRIPT0 is missing.
KMAIL280 - 06/09/91
Restructured code to allow multi-node systems to run using
a common \KMAIL sub-directory.
Added support for LHA.
Removed the dir prompt when running in Local mode if the
QWK/REP locations are specified in the CFG file.
Resolved compatibility problem with PowerQwk RDR.
KMAIL279 - 05/26/91
Added support for 14,400 carrier speed. Also, removed 19,200
and 38,400 parms from the CFG file as these are port speeds
rather than carrier speeds.
KMAIL278 - 05/25/91
Resolved a compatibility problem with SLMR 2.0, lousy timing!
Made a change to KEY file processing on multi-node systems to
assist those that have different BBS name text on each node.
(more info in doc file)
KMAIL277 - 05/24/91
Added BiModem support.
Added an online HELP file "KMAIL.HLP" that callers may
view within Kmail. Just place this file in the \KMAIL dir.
Fixed a problem that caused Kmail to reject a message if
the Sysop was using their "Real Name" in the from field.
Fixed a problem that caused Kmail to ignore any Keyword
in the TPA record other than 'KMAIL'.
Fixed an error in calling the Xmodem-1K protocol.
Included separate protocol entries for Xmodem/Sum
and Xmodem/CRC to help reduce confusion.
To assist those Sysop's who have separate QWK/REP locations,
the Loc_Dir option has been split into Qwk_Dir & Rep_Dir.
Added parm "Buffers=" to the KMAIL.CFG to allow controlling
the number of buffered I/O blocks that Kmail will allocate.
Previously was hard coded to use (120) 512 byte blocks.
