- - SWAPP.SYS allows swapping every kind of field on every kind of field :
- > LA8AK @ LA4BL
-
- - Capture is possible in gateway mode :
- W FileName opens the capture in append mode

- MAIL.WP file. This file will be renamed (or appended to) MAIL.IN and
- then allows the WP database to be updated with the informations from
- HROUTE.SYS and INF.SYS (this takes some time !). The WP needs hight
- memory, and will be validated with the EMS/XMS WP usage.
-
- - Oldmail date was wrong with EPURMESS. Now takes UTM information from
- INIT.SRV.
-
- - EPURWP program updates records in the WP database. Will be ran each night
- during housekeeping (if WP validated).
-
- - New Commands (If WP validated) :
- I Callsign : Looks for WP information (Wildcards allowed).

-
- - WP server.
- This server is built-in. Only need to declare an entry in INIT.SRV (like

-
- SP WP @ F6FBB
- Wp Query <- Any title
- F6FBB ? <- Ask F6FBB information
- LA6CU ? <- Ask LA6CU information
- /EX
-
- - Fullscreen mini-editor now uses the base number of messages.
-
- ===============================================================================
- 5.14f
-
- - Zip code of the BBS defined in INIT.SRV
-
- - Variable $z now is the ZIP code of the BBS.
-
- - f accepted to end QTH LOCATOR commands.
-
- - WP messages are hidden for users.
-
- - No R: line added in WP update messages. This avoid to have more headers than
- information !
-
- - Added a task indicator in the left of the status line :
- - : Main task
- X : Keyboard task
- | : Compress task
- + : WP task
-
- - Only the route must be specified in WP information (INIT.SRV).
-
- - Routing and route extension taken from WP information.
-
- - Command IE allows to edit a WP record.
-
- - Number of last listed message updated only if the deconnection is made with
- the 'B' command.
-
- - Message held by M_FILTER was still forwarded. Fixed.
-
- - Wildcard & : checks for a . or the end of the string. Used for hierarchical
- indication in FORWARD.SYS
- Ex:
- *.FRA&
-
- will match for
-
- xxxxx.FRA and xxxxx.FRA.xxxxx (xxxx = does not matter)
-
- but will not match for
-
- xxxxx.FRANCA or xxxxx.FRANCA.xxxxxx
-
- - Line "T" in FORWARD.SYS file now indicates forwarding strategy, private only
- and maximum size.
- Ex:
- T P S 20
- means : only private mail (P), smallest first (S), 20KB maximum (20)
-
- T S
- means : smallest first. Always private first, bulletins follow.
-
- - Line "L" in FORWARD.SYS allows to program TNC before or after a block, i.e.
- at the beginning and at the end of the forward cycle (to disable incoming
- connections for instance). This line must be preceeded with a P line to
- specify the port to be programmed (as for the "D" or "X" command out of a
- block).
-
- - "IF MAN" test in FORWARD.SYS file means that test will be true only if the
- forward is manually reverse forced (That is with a + in F4 window, or FR
- remote command).
-
- - FWD et REJ now in EMS
-
- - Variable $b gives the Zip code of the user.
-
- - New set of variables. The first character is "%" instead of "$". Variables
- %i %J %j %K %y are identical to $i, $J, $j, $K and $y, but give the original
- date instead of the final date of a message.
-
- - Epurmess is changed to allow the new "original date" field in DIRMES.SYS
-
- ===============================================================================
- 5.14g
-
- - Routing bulletins on destination is possible with a F line in FORWARD file
- like :
- A F6FBB
- G EU
- F AMSAT
- .... Will route @EU and >AMSAT bulletins to F6FBB.
-

- - The F_FILTER interface has been rewritten. If the F_FILTER exists, the
- temporary file is no longer deleted by WinFBB (unless return value from
- F_FILTER is 0), the filter must decide what to do. F_FILTER receives as
- parameter a file in which are given informations such as asked filename and
- label. If F_FILTER returns 0, then the file is normally recorded (and the
- temporary file is deleted), else nothing is done by FBB. The text returned
- by F_FILTER will be sent to the user. So an archive may be compressed,
- scanned, and a report may be sent to the user. This can be done in real time
- or delayed.
- - If there are more than one D or X lines in a FORWARD block, they are
- executed in one DOS call (to be faster).
- - proportional fonts are supported (but the alignment will not be ok in lists)
- add the line : "FixedFont = 0" in the section main of WINFBB.INI.
- - User home BBS was not updated if WP was edited with IE command. Corrected.
