-=( HandyMan 1.2 what's new )=-
Note: The HANDYMAN.DEM contains a complete init file for handyman. If
you're new to the program, just rename it to HANDYMAN.INI, otherwise
copy parts of it to your existing INI file..
==============================================================================
Release version 1.2
Consider this version mainly a RA120 update.. There are other new options but
there are also things left to do...
- Added a chat indicator.
- made RA 2.00 compatible
Beta 6
- And back it is again..;-) A new screensaver has been implemented and thison
works as it should. The screen is restored whenever you press a key or when
a user logs in. During a user online the screensaver is inactive.
- Changed the format of the logfile a little.
- Added two new keywords to the INI file. SWAPPATH and SWAPTO.
SwapPath defines the path to swap to when swapping to disk is enabled
SwapTo defines where to swap to during a shell. Possible values
are EMS XMS EXT DSK ALL or a combination of those.
- The HandyDwn semafore wasn't deleted when handy dropped to dos. Solved
- The beta/copyrights window disappears a little quicker now.
- It's possible now to quick-start the first 10 externals through
ALT-1 to ALT-0. (0 is the 10th external!)
Beta 5
- and there goes the screensaver again.. Problems on the lantastic server,
runtime-errors etc. If you want a screensaver, use one of the pd/shareware
utilities special developed for it for the time being.
Beta 4
- Implemented a screensaver.. Just a simple one, which blanks the screen..
- Tried to make Handy a little smarter try and see for yourself. If strange
things happen, screens stop with updating and such, turn it off..
- The fallback option didn't work when handy was waiting userinput. Now
it does.
Beta 3
- Changed the way the cursorline works a little. Things shouls work a little
smoother now when under an multitasker or network.
- Changed the order in the INFO menu.
- A number of little things internal.
Beta 2,
- Handy now returns to the directory from where it was fired up after
an external or event.
- Added some extra spaces to the "Illegal password" window.
- Handy can log now. Just define a LOGFILE in the IniFile.
- There are some META parameters defined for externals:
%W% Wait before return to handyman. (5 Minutes max)
%0% Wait if the exitcode from the program is <> 0.
%A% Sound an alarm every 5 seconds after completing.
%D% Don't clean the screen when shelling
The following macro's are replaced with the info from the useronrecord
of the selected line:
%NAME% UserName
%CITY% Location
%BAUD% Baudrate
%AKA% Handle
%NODE% Node
Misc. macro's:
%LOG% The path and filename to the logfile.
Beta 1,
- Added a tool to clean one or more lines. This means that the UserOn record
is cleaned and the RABusy semafore is deleted. Usefull after the crash of
a line.
- Removed a few little bugs.
Beta 0,
- Added the semaphore support alla UserOn.
- Added diskchecks for low on diskspace
- added the -DROPLEV:<EXITCODE> and -DROPDOS:<TIME> parameters.
TIME is in minutes. It orders Handyman to drop to dos after <TIME>
minutes with ExitLevel <EXITCODE> (Default=255);
- Added HANDYDWN.<EXITCODE> semaphore. If Handy sees this semaphore in the
semaphore directory it drops to dos with exitlevel <EXITCODE>
- Undocumented until now. (I forgot) -DEBUG gives you an overview of the
paths and such as handy sees it. The world according to Handy..
