- Development of V7 programs
-
- How to develop programs that use the Version 7 nodelist:
-
- If you are interested in developing programs that access the V7
- nodelist, you can find all the necessary information in the
- BinkleyTerm 2.60 sources (BSRC_260.ZIP) or you can use the OS/2
- DLL provided by Jim Dailey (V7NL.ZIP); both files are
- requestable from 2:332/504@fidonet.
-
- For a criterion to avoid problems in concurrent access to the V7
- files while FastLst is building/renaming them, please see
- "V7 Semaphore" under "Miscellaneous Info" in the main
- documentation.
-
-
-
- Files in the original archive:
-
- File_Id.Diz The standard description
-
- Fastlst.Exe The executable
- FastLst.Ico An Icon for FastLst
- FastLst.Inf The Inf documentation
-
- Readme.1st This file
- Whatsnew.Txt Fixes and additions

- OS/2 Only
-
- FastLst2.Ico An Icon for FastLst/2, by Andrea Vavassori
-
-
- Dos Only
-
- Fastl16.Exe The 16 bit executable
-
- Dos4Gw.Exe Dos Extender (major releases only)
- If you have a maintenance release of the program,
- the dos extender will not be included, to avoid
- unnecessary distribution costs.
-
-
- The OS/2 Inf manual is provided with other versions too,
- since there are INF viewers under Dos. For example, the very
- nice viewer by Damir Ujcic: VIEW01.ZIP, available for F/R from
- 2:332/504@fidonet: it contains a text mode viewer in both OS/2
- and Dos versions.
-
-
- Whatsnew
-
- If you are using an older version of the program, please read
- WhatsNew.Txt before using this version.

-
- Support ECHO
-
- I am originating an international support echo for all my
- programs. If you are interested, please ask your echo feeder to
- find a suitable link for the APWORKS area. In addition, I
- regularly read the international OS2BBS echo.
-
-
- TIC distribution
-
- All my BBS related programs are distributed via a TIC file area.
- If you want to join, please ask your file feeder to find a
- suitable link for the APBBS (OS/2) and/or APBBSDOS (Dos/NT)
- area.
-
- Beta versions are distributed without restrictions in
- APBBSBETA and APBBSDOSBETA respectively.
-
-
- Where to look for
- APWorks Programs and Support Areas
-
- In North America the APWORKS support echo should be easily
- available, since it is on the Zone 1 backbone.
-
-
- The following systems carry the ApWorks echo and file areas:
-

-
- If you find out a real bug, I will do my best to fix it and make
- the new version available in a few days. To do that, I need your
- cooperation: when you find a strange behaviour, double check
- your configuration and the manual to be really sure it's not
- your fault, then study the conditions in which the bug appears
- and, in the end, send me your detailed report about the bug
- together with your config file and all the stuff necessary to
- replicate the problem. I can fix a bug only if I am enabled to
- reproduce it !
-
-
- Wish List

- To help me provide a better and better program, please let
- me know your problems and your wishes about future versions.
