- Version 1.05 Rev E of Trumpet, A DOS based NNTP news reader is now available
- from
-
- tasman.cc.utas.edu.au(131.217.10.1):/pub/pc/trumpet/trmp105e.zip
-
- This hopefully solves some of the news.prm saving problems, and allows one
- to override most options with the command line or environment variables.
- There are a few other bug fixes as well.
-
- I intend freezing release 1.05 in one week. Anyone still having problems
- with 1.05 please e-mail me quickly. I intend starting work on the 1.06
- features soon, but can't begin work until 1.05 is stable.
-
- For all those asking about upgrades to 1.06, it won't be out for a while.
- (I haven't even started on it yet :-) When available, the upgrade fee
- will be some fraction of the original registration fee. To be fair, I will
- have to increase the registration fee to take into account the additional
- features. It should be noted that preference will given to those who have
- registered when it comes to support for Trumpet.
-
- For those who are interested, there is an ABI version of Trumpet in
- beta test. This version, with the assistance of an appropriate glue layer,
- is capable of operating over a wider range of tcp transports than the packet
- driver version. There is also a LAN WorkPlace for DOS version undergoing
- beta test too. It should be released very shortly. (other vendors listen
- up :)
-
- And...............for those who want to try their hand at IRC, I also have
- an IRC client using the three transports : packet driver, Trumpet ABI and
- LAN WorkPlace for DOS. It is currently only in it's beta stage, and I still
- have to write a user manual and some installation instructions.
-
- And....... there are a few other surprises around the corner..... stay
- tuned... ;-)
