- GrapeVine 1.32
- --------------
-
- Latest features:
-
- - Ascii upload.
- Set up the file transfer as normal, but select ASCII as your protocol.
- When you click on SEND, Terminal mode will be entered, and you can watch
- the file being uploaded. To abort, return to the desktop (BREAK) and click
- on CANCEL on the transmit window.
-
- There are some new options on the main menu for file transfers: only for
- ASCII uploads at the moment.
- Expand Blanks: When ticked this will send <space><return> instead of
- just <return> at blank lines, so if you are uploading a text file to
- an editor which takes a blank line as an end-of-input, any blank lines
- in the text file will not cause the editor to terminate entry
- prematurely.
- CR: When ticked, all LFs in the text file will be converted to CRs before
- sending.
- LF: As above except CRs get converted into LFs
- Delay: Allows you to specify the speed at which characters are
- transmitted, to cater for the slower BBSs around (eg Commnett)
-
- - New phonefile format:
- As before, except now the first two bytes in the file specify the version
- +0 - zero (indicates new format)
- +1 - version number
- Version 2 files have 10 lines per entry rather than 8:
- Line 9: Macro definition (80 chars max). Will be executed when you hit
- F12 in terminal mode.
- Line 10: 'Selected' flag. If there is a '*' on this line then when the
- phonefile is loaded this entry will be selected (subject to
- it still being available for this time of day). Otherwise this
- line should be left blank.
-
- - Can now load phone files at any time
-
- - Dialstate file scrapped... dial selections saved in phonenum file itself.
-
- - Interactive resizing of Grapevine task slot implemented: controls size of
- capture buffer.
-
- - Macro key facility: Each entry in diallist has it's own macro. Execute with
- F12 (as mentioned above)
-
- - Inter dial delay facility added... can now specify delay between dial
- attempts in seconds (for exchanges that don't reset the phoneline fast
- enough)
-
- - Can now set dial-wait time from control panel icons (up/down arrows)
-
- - File saving/loading improved... buffer saves via RAMtrans if possible.
-
- - AutoReturn and AutoRedial facilities added - to more completely automate
- the process of 'Returning' to the desktop and reselecting 'Redial' to move
- on to the next selected BBS.
-
-
- - More of the terminal in ARMcode... most features now available in ALL
- terminal emulations (it's a little faster too! :-) ).
-
- - Numerous bugs fixed
- eg Autodialling a specific BBS with HOLD on used to dial the BBS before
- the desired one in the list.
