┌───────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1.20 │ Major release │
└───────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
■ Fixed a problem in RFW where RFW would beep when the user dropped
the carrier. Caused many nights without good sleep, sorry;
■ Fixed a problem in RFWCFG. The alternate path setting would not
occur when RA 1.11 was the choosen type of BBS;
■ Fixed a problem in RFW. 'N' would not work or would only work one
time. Also memory trashing could occur;
■ Fixed a problem in RFW. '?' would trash the screen when used and
user had to redraw the screen again;
■ Fixed a problem in RFW. RFW kept one file open, causing some small
problems after running many times after each other;
■ Fixed a number of bad-spots in RFW which could all trash memory in
some sort of way. No reports of hangups until now (at least not
hangups that could be traced to RFW);
■ Keyword search would only display comments up to and including the
line that contained the match. This is fixed. All multi-comment
lines are now displayed;
■ Fixed ASCII mode again. Though many Sysop's are now talking about
swapping to a full-ANSI only BBS right now, I will still include
coding for those people who want to (or only can) run in ASCII
mode;
■ Fixed a problem with the time-check. RFW would allow unlimited
access (as long the user stayed in RFW). This is fixed;
■ Fixed a problem with SBBS CD-ROM entries. Previous versions would
not detect any CD-ROM file;
■ Fixed a problem with the screen routines for screen-clear mode. In
this mode the lines can be written until the last non-blank byte to
gain speed but RFW was still writing the full 79 characters;
■ Fixed a problem where RFC/RFW could not find the linking RFC.ARE
file if you changed the name of this file in either RFC or RFW;
■ Fixed a problem with RFCCFG. It is now allowed to leave the field
for the alternate FILES.BBS files empty;
■ Fixed a problem with RFW where RFW would create a tag-file that
would drive FileDoor <tm> wild;
■ Fixed a problem with RFW where [foobar] (not a counter) would cause
wrong adjustments in the display;
■ Fixed a problem with RFWCFG and RFCCFG. These programs will now
keep the original date/time and archive-bit when they patch RFW
and/or RFC;
■ New-files scan would allow dates in the future, this is fixed;
■ RFWCFG would only display the right color and not the name. To help
people with monochrome tubes or disabled people (those people who
can not see any colors), the name of the actual color is now
displayed;
■ Added options to allow both alternate date or number of days when a
new-file scan is entered and the user does not want to scan from
from the default date;
■ Added option to allow ESC while RFW is searching thru the database.
In this case RFW is aborted;
■ Added a statusbar at the bottom of the local screen so the sysop
can now always see who is using RFW and in what mode (the previous
versions included a ALT-T mode, which is now obsolete);
■ Added a progress-bar so the user can see that RFW is searching in
the database;
■ Added options in RFC and RFW to allow the user to scan for keywords
INSIDE non-archived files;
■ Added option in RFW to allow the <V>iew of one or more files. RFW
will call the specified viewing program. MTS <tm> will suit your
needs in this matter as it can view both archived files and non
archived files;
■ Changed the <N>ew option into <R>escan because it could confuse a
user. The user would think that this option would display the new
files. The old 'N' key is still allowed though;
■ Changed the location of the tag-marker. This marker (a '*') will
now be displayed behind the tag-letter and before the filename.
The previous versions would write the tag-marker behind the name of
the file. This change was needed to allow the 'P' (protected file)
to be displayed behind the filename;
■ Changed the recompile logic. CD-ROM areas have to be scanned only
once and will be merged into the database at the next compile
without having to access the CD-ROM itself. The SysOp can overrule
this logic by using /ALL on the RFC command-line;
■ Changed the memory logic for the virtual array that RFW uses. The
previous versions would assign a virtual array with a size equal to
the total number of records in all areas. The current version will
only use the actual number of records for a specific area. The
logic is only changed for the file-list function and not for the
keyword/file-search options and new-file scan. It can result in a
dramatical gain in speed and reduced memory consumption;
■ Added options to allow RFW to display markers when files are free
files and/or password protected files. You have to assign your
FILES.CTL in RFCCFG.EXE to let this option work;
■ Added the /NFEMSI option to RFW to allow RFW to replace any
internal EMSI new-file scan (with the help of a flag-test/flas-set
program like I2FLG100.* by Hans Siemons);
■ Added TopEd, QuickEd and Maximus cursor-key protocols to RFW. RFW
will interprete these cursor-empulations in the same way as you use
the numeric pad;
■ Added configurable counter starting/ending characters. Though these
are mainly for our Scandinavian friends, they could come in handy
when you don't use '[' and ']' as these characters;
■ Added some logic to support the upcomming RA 1.20 release;
■ Added logic for Commercial, Closed-BBS and beta-testing
registration keys;
■ Recompiled all programs under Borland Pascal 7.0 (real mode only,
on request a DPMI version can be created), which should result in a
gain in speed;
