- Welp, I didn't want to put this out yet. It's not ready. It's also
- missing quite a few features that have been in the Alpha Renegade for
- several months, but, since I didn't have time to complete them - I had
- to yank them out of this copy. I am releasing this due to a bug in the
- file point compensation and a security problem for people that are still
- allowing ordinary users to use the archive menu (which I have always said
- was a poor idea).
-
-
- 670) The old sysop in and out strings are now "Your password" and "Your
- phone number" strings.
-
- 671) Translating MCI's in quoted material when quoting has been removed
- since apparently some users were stupid, and quoted their own password
- back to people.
-
- 672) When searching for files (either way), Renegade will now ask the
- user if they want to search ALL conferences or not.
-
- 673) New type of message base: QwkMail. This adds origin lines and tears
- to messages, but does not export or add addresses. This is for use
- with Qwk networking.
-
- 674) File and Message scanning selection now will accept ranges of file
- or message bases to toggle, and also allows easier all on/all off
- selection.
-
- 675) The shuttle logon name prompt is now configurable.
-
- 676) Renegade will now allow the insertion of more than 1,024 message
- bases, provided base number compression is off.
-
- 677) IFL in the Dos Emulator is now VIEW.
-
- 678) ^ (carat) in any modem string will toggle the DTR off for 1/4 second.
-
- IMPORTANT: Without this, Renegade will NOT automatically toggle DTR
- to drop carrier anymore!
-
- 679) Renegade will now do a RIP Reset/Clear if the user has RIP emulation
- on, and an ANSI file is about to be displayed.
-
- 680) If RIP emulation is on, Renegade will force displaying of PROTBUL,
- PROTBDL, PROTSUL, or PROTSDL to allow the use of RIP protocol
- selection screens.
-
- 681) Renegade will force displaying of .RIP menu files regardless of
- the "Expert" toggle.
-
- 682) Renegade now uses the complete array of verbal response codes for
- easier configuration. The incoming call detection system has been
- completely rewritten for much faster and much more reliable operation.
- The system will also detect "Reliable" (v.42bis/MNP) connections.
-
- Suggested init changes: V1E0 (all modems)
- U.S. Robotics: &A1 or higher
-
-
- 683) Renegade now supports a "Reliable Connection Only" transfer protocol
- flag. Enabling it will only allow people with a Reliable connection
- to use the protocol. This is for protocols like Ymodem-G that should
- never be used without an error correcting modem.
-
- 684) You can now use MCI codes in the -F (display file) cmdkeys. This will
- allow you to display a separate ANSI for each message base, for example.
-
- 685) Renegade will now exit with ERRORLEVEL 255 if you hit "Q" from the
- WFC menu.
-
- 686) For ease of configuration and diagnostics; Renegade's WFC screen now
- has a modem box that displays incoming and outgoing modem responses
- and commands.
-
- You can also switch back and forth between this box and the WFC menu
- by hitting TAB. In the box, you can directly enter commands to the
- modem. If the phone RINGs, however, Renegade will still pick up
- the call.
-
- 687) Local mass uploads (i.e. /U) now check for FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI
- before prompting for a description.
-
- 688) New commandline parameter: /C[INFO] where [INFO] is connect info
- passed by the frontend... and is checked for the occurance of the
- "Reliable connection" string.
-
- 689) Renegade now supports Caller ID. If you specify a caller ID string,
- Renegade will look for it, and report it in the sysop logs for
- each call. If you tell Renegade to use it in the user note, Renegade
- will put the caller ID number in the user's user note, IF their user
- note is blank.
-
- 690) If the modem answer string is blank, Renegade will not send anything,
- and the modem's auto-answer can work instead.
-
- 691) Renegade can also now be told to pick up on other than one ring without
- using auto-answer.
-
- 692) Renegade now supports Ringmaster, MultiRing, or other types of multiple
- ring systems for sharing voice and data lines. Turning the MultiRing
- toggle on will cause Renegade only to pickup when the line "multirings"
- and not on a normal ring.
-
- 693) The "5" flag in a menu will now shut off the global commands for
- that particular menu.
-
- 694) Renegade now supports IEMSI automated logons, and automatically fills
- in part of a new user's information.
-
- This despite the fact that IEMSI is an overly complicated solution
- to a non existant problem... might as well make all the people that
- have to have every useless yet n33t0 feature happy.
-
- 695) Renegade will now accept Caller ID information on the commandline
- with the /I switch. i.e. Renegade /I%6
