- RemoteAccess 1.01
- -----------------
-
- This upgrade fixes a number of mostly minor bugs reported since the public
- release of 1.00. The only significant change in this release is the
- message-base locking scheme. The new locking system is much tighter, and
- will be supported in the forthcoming releases of FrontDoor 2.01 and
- TosScan 1.10 - Silver Xpress and XRS already support it, making possible
- simultaneous message base access by any combination of these products.
