- ToDo nr 66
- Sugggested on 08-11-95
- Implemented on 05-01-97
- Suggested by Jonathan Gauntt
- Description Offer the ability to define the path where the compression
- programs are located.
-
-
- ToDo nr 340
- Sugggested on 04-09-96
- Implemented on 02-02-97
- Suggested by Brent Shellenberg, 1:140/146 (Author of Shotgun)
- Description Add Shotgun BBS support to ALLFIX.
-
- ToDo nr 371
- Sugggested on 26-09-96
- Implemented on 11-01-97
- Suggested by Many
- Description ALLFIX should have the ability to specify a PKT file
- password for the .PKT files that are created by ALLFIX
- for the file request reports.
-
- This feature has been built into ASETUP (see Node manager)
- and is only available in registered mode.
-
-
- ToDo nr 434
- Sugggested on 05-01-97
- Implemented on 05-01-97
- Suggested by Many
- Description Offer the ability to use the ALLFIX configuration files
- for more than one type of ALLFIX. In other words, it should
- be possible to use the OS/2 version and the DOS version of
- ALLFIX together with one set of configuration files. In
- order to do this, it must be possible to enter up to three
- different keys. Also, the external program menus need to be
- duplicated for the OS/2 version and the DOS version.
-
-
-
- ToDo nr 438
- Sugggested on 11-01-97
- Implemented on 11-01-97
- Suggested by Many
- Description The ability to specify the maximum time a file request
- session may take has been built in. This value can be set
- for each of the three different types of sessions
- (unlisted, unsecure, and secure). A value of 0 means that
- there is no limit. The maximum value is 255 minutes.
-
- This feature required a change in the command line
- parameters for the request processor.
-
- FrontDoor/MainDoor: =A =O =B =X =T =R
- InterMail %A %O %B %X %F
-
- SRIF users do not have to make any changes to their
- commandline.
-
- ToDo nr 439
- Sugggested on 11-01-97
- Implemented on 11-01-97
- Suggested by Many
- Description The ability to send a CC of the file request report to the
- sysop has been built in. This feature can be used to verify
- that the request processor is working correctly. The option
- can be found in the Request Processor menu. It has the name
- "CC sysop".
-
- ALLFIX will create a .PKT file for the SysOp instead of
- directly writing a netmail message. This has to be done
- because the request processor may not write any .MSG files
- during a session.
-
-
- ToDo nr 440
- Sugggested on 12-01-97
- Implemented on 12-01-97
- Suggested by Many
- Description The "CompileRequestIDX" command in FIXUTIL has been made
- a little smarter. The problem was that CD-ROMs were scanned
- each and every time that this command was run. This was
- obviously not necessary and for that reason, FIXUTIL has
- been enhanced. FIXUTIL will now also create a REQUEST.FIX
- file, which is a text file contains a list of the
- directories that were scanned and some other information.
- This other information is used to determine if a particular
- directory needs to be scanned again or not.
-
- ToDo nr 445
- Sugggested on 25-01-97
- Implemented on 25-01-97
- Suggested by Many
- Description Added a new feature to FIXUTIL that can be used to generate
- different types of reports based on a template file. The
- option, called ProcessTemplate, takes two parameters,
- namely, the template name and the name of the output file.
-
- Example:
-
- FIXUTIL ProcessTemplate FILEBONE FILEBONE.NA
-
- will process the FILEBONE.APL template file and place the
- output in a file with the name FILEBONE.NA.
-
- ToDo nr 446
- Sugggested on 25-01-97
- Implemented on 25-01-97
- Suggested by Larry James, John Mudge, and others
- Description Added the ability to generate FILEBONE.NA style files with
- FIXUTIL. This feature required a new menu in the Fileecho
- manager with the name RAID. In this menu a few options can
- be defined that determine the RAID security level and the
- RAID flags. These features are only used for the generation
- of a FILEBONE.NA file, which can be done with the
- FILEBONE.NA template.
-
-
- ToDo nr 447
- Sugggested on 25-01-97
- Implemented on 25-01-97
- Description The FIXUTIL Describe function, which updates the fileecho
- descriptions from the FILEBONE.NA file will also update the
- RAID security level and flag fields for each fileecho. If
- the -NotOverwrite switch is used, then the fileecho will
- only be updated if it does not already contain a
- description.
-
- ToDo nr 458
- Sugggested on 02-02-97
- Implemented on 02-02-97
- Description ALLFIX and ASETUP will now automatically call up FCOMP to
- recompile the BBS file areas whenever the BBS file area
- configuration has been altered. FCOMP will not be called up
- when the FILEAREA.FIX file is corrupt, since it is then not
- possible to determine which type of BBS system is being
- used and where the configuration files are located.
-
- The only system that is not supported by this new feature
- is SearchLight.
-
-
- ToDo nr 463
- Sugggested on 03-02-97
- Implemented on 03-02-97
- Suggested by Many people, including Nico van Vliet
- Description Whenever a new BBS file area is added and FCOMP is run, the
- file areas selected in the FileFind message setup would all
- be shifted around. This problem has been solved for the
- following BBS types:
-
- RemoteAccess 2.5x,
- Terminate BBS,
- Lora BBS, and
- ShotGun.
-
- It was possible to solve this problem for those systems
- only, since these BBS types use a unique area number which
- does not change when new areas are added and moved around.
-
- ToDo nr 468
- Sugggested on 03-02-97
- Implemented on 09-02-97
- Suggested by Brent Shellenberg
- Description Add the ability to autoadd file areas to ShotGun, when
- automatically adding new fileechos.

-
- Bug nr 897
- Reported on 24-10-96
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Hinrich Donner, Jeff Schrunk
- Description When updating the alias file, ALLFIX adds a large amount of
- random garbage to the end of the file.
-
- Comments I have finally figured out what is causing this problem. It
- turned out that there was variable that was not being
- initialized.
-
- Bug nr 1014
- Reported on 02-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Klaas Lingbeek
- Description When autoadding a new filearea to RemoteAccess, ALLFIX is
- not automatically creating the file database files for that
- area.
-
-
- Bug nr 1015
- Reported on 04-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Dave Blagburn
- Description The FILE_ID.DIZ files should be filtered (see "Filter
- strings") before it imported into the BBS and before the
- number of lines to import has been counted, since that may
- affect the length of the description.
-
-
- Bug nr 1016
- Reported on 04-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Guillermo Piquer Dolz
- Description The ALLFIX documentation says that the passwords in Alias
- and List files should be designated with an exclamation
- mark. This has, however, been changed to a front slash.
-
-
- Bug nr 1018
- Reported on 08-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Felix Mueller
- Description When file requesting AF*.*, ALLFIX is only sending the
- first match to the filespec and nothing more, even though
- there are plenty of other files that match that file
- specification.
-
- Comments This particular bug is probably the source of a lot of
- errors that people have reported in the request processor.
- Any problem with ALLFIX not finding enough files can be
- attributed to this particular bug.
-
-
- Bug nr 1025
- Reported on 17-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Dave Bedwin
- Description ALLFIX crashes with a runtime error (216) when there is a
- ._00 file left in the Tic directory. The files in referenced
- in the ._00 file no longer existed.
- Comments This problem resulted in ALLFIX ending up in an endless
- loop for the DOS and WildCat versions.
-
- Bug nr 1028
- Reported on 17-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Kevin Bentz
- Description According to the docs, the a value of 6 for the Send Bill
- option should mean that the bill will be sent on Saturday.
- However, ALLFIX sends the bill on Friday.
-
-
- Comments ALLFIX was displaying the correct behaviour. The
- documentation was incorrect.
-
-
- Bug nr 1029

- Reported on 19-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Marijn Raaijmakers
- Description ALLFIX is trying to add a banner to .JPG files. This
- happens when "Convert to" has been set to "Zip" and a
- template has been selected for the "Banner" field.
-
-
- Bug nr 1033
- Reported on 20-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Paran Pat
- Description It is not possible to enter a value of 0 for the "Min HD
- space to import" field. A value of 0 should mean no space
- check. When 0 is entered, the field defaults to a value of
- 65535.
-
-
- Bug nr 1035
- Reported on 20-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Peter Bygden
- Description The docs say that the @systems macro can be used in all
- templates. This is not correct.
- Comments The @systems macro is only available in the Notify and
- AreaMgr templates.
-
- Bug nr 1038
- Reported on 30-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Paran Pat
- Description When dispaying a template and the output is 0 bytes long,
- ASETUP should not ask the user if he/she would like to view
- the output.
-
-
- Bug nr 1040
- Reported on 30-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Charles Gaefke
- Description Sometimes, when converting a file to the ARJ format, ALLFIX
- gives the file the extension .JRJ. For example:
-
- Msg Unpacking LIONHD.LHA
- Call D:\TOOLS\ZIPPERS\LHA.EXE e /cm
- D:\TEMP\INBOUND\LIONHD.LHA *.*
- Msg Converting LIONHD.LHA to LIONHD.JRJ
- Call D:\TOOLS\ZIPPERS\ARJ.EXE a -jm D:\FILES\AUTOADD\ADSGAMES\LIONHD.JRJ *.*
-
- Comments This particular problem also affected .LZH files. The new
- filenames that were calculated by ALLFIX were not correct.
-
- Bug nr 1042
- Reported on 30-01-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Charles Gaefke
- Description When entering a new fileecho in ASETUP and pressing F6 to
- select a filearea, the Use FDB option should be
- automatically turned on if it was turned off and if the BBS
- type used requires that that option be turned on.
-
-
- Bug nr 1045
- Reported on 02-02-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Jaap Lutz
- Description When writing a .PKT file for the file request report,
- ALLFIX is not terminating the .PKT file with two NULL bytes.
-
-
- Bug nr 1047
- Reported on 03-02-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Jos Huijnen
- Description ALLFIX is not properly scanning the outbound directories
- that do not belong to the main aka (for Binkley style
- systems). This means that files sent to other systems using
- a different, than the main, aka, will be deleted on the
- next run, regardless of whether or not they have been sent.
-
- Comments ALLFIX supports up to 40 akas and the Domain names menu
- also supports up to 40 domain names. This problem occurred
- for any domains defined above the previous limit of 20.
-
-
- Bug nr 1048
- Reported on 06-02-97
- Fixed on 15-02-97
- Reported by Eric Erkamp
- Description Something is going wrong when ALLFIX is trying to create a
- .MSG file that already exists. It looks like ALLFIX does
- not try to increment the message file number to try the
- next possible combination.
- Comments THis problem only occurred when the .MSG file that ALLFIX
- was trying to create was already opened by some other
- program. In other words, it only happened when another
- program was also adding messages to the netmail folder.
-
- Bug nr 1049
- Reported on 06-02-97
- Fixed on 16-02-97
- Reported by Jim McLaughlin, and many others
- Description ALLFIX is still hanging on a regular basis when auto-adding
- new fileechos.
-
- Example:
-
- Processing TIC files
- Msg Unknown fileecho: VL_MCWIN
- Msg Auto-adding : VL_MCWIN
- Msg Using Comment : New Fido files
- Msg Using Group : 6 defaults
- Msg Destdir : E:\FIDO\VL_MCWIN\
-
- Comments This particular problem occurred when:
-
- 1. Sort by groups was turned on (see Fileecho options menu)
- 2. The fileecho being added needed to added the end of the
- fileecho list, as displayed in the Fileecho manager.
-
- This problem did not occur when the Sort by groups option
- was turned off, nor when something needed to be added
- somewhere in the middle or at the beginning of the list.
-

- Bug nr 1052
- Reported on 09-02-97
- Found in 4.41.003
- Fixed on 26-03-97

- Reported on 15-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Charles Gaefke
- Description When autoadding a new area to the Renegade BBS file base,
- ALLFIX is using the fileecho name for the file area
- description.
-
- Bug nr 1062
- Reported on 17-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Thomas van Spronsen
- Description ASETUP is not displaying the selected file areas correctly.
-
- Example:
-
- Fileareas 2..4,9..15,19,20,31..43,44,45,46,47,48,61,62,101,102,103,104
-
- Bug nr 1063
- Reported on 17-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Arthur Stark
- Description When ALLFIX creates a CC of a File request report, it is
- using the destination address of the requesting system
- instead of the main aka.
-
- Example:
-
- From : ALLFIX 1:395/600
- To : Arthur Stark 1:3618/144
- Subj : CC of file request report to Joseph Scinta 1:3618/144
-
- My address is 1:395/600...
-
-
- Bug nr 1067
- Reported on 18-02-97
- Fixed on 18-02-97
- Reported by Harald Harms
- Description ALLFIX would refuse to auto-add a new fileecho if the group
- which was used for the defaults did not have a destination
- directory defined and the default auto-add path in the
- pathnames menu was also empty. This is normally correct,
- except, when the group is defined as passthru, ALLFIX
- should auto-add the fileecho. It was not doing that.
-
-
- Bug nr 1069
- Reported on 19-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Brent Shellenberg
- Description ALLFIX should not add more than 18 description lines to the
- ShotGun file database.
-
- Bug nr 1072
- Reported on 19-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Marius Ellen
- Description ALLFIX is not properly filtering characters from the
- descriptions.
- Comments This problem occured when the "Filter string" consisted of
- exactly 2 characters. The problem was that if the first
- character was found, ALLFIX was matching the string
- regardless of what the second character was.
-
- Example:
-
- Filter string = --
-
- This is a -test-.
-
- would result in:
-
- This is a est

- Bug nr 1073
- Reported on 19-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Dave Blagburn
- Description Remove the .IDX support for the PCBoard .DIR files. It has
- only been causing problems and isn't really needed. PCBoard
- will automatically re-index the files. Whenever ALLFIX does
- it, everything seems to go wrong.
-
-
- Bug nr 1074
- Reported on 19-02-97
- Fixed on 26-03-97
- Reported by Jerry Schwartz
- Description ASETUP may not be displaying an error message when it tries
- to read in the FILEAREA.FIX file for displaying Report type
- templates. If the FILEAREA.FIX file is corrupt, ASETUP
- simply returns to the previous menu, without showing the
- template and without showing an error message.
-
-
- Bug nr 1075
- Reported on 19-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Many
- Description The auto-recompile feature in ALLFIX and ASETUP, which was
- designed to make ALLFIX easier to maintain, seems to be
- working a little bit too well. ALLFIX and ASETUP call up
- FCOMP a little too often.
- Comments ALLFIX will now recompile the FILEAREA.FIX files when the
- size of the BBS file area configuration file has changed.
- It used to use the date, but it seems that many BBS systems
- update the configuration files even though nothing has
- changed in the actual BBS file area configuration.
-
- Bug nr 1077
- Reported on 20-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Vitaly Kuharev
- Description The bad tics log and the dupe tics log do not display the
- date that a file was recieved. In order to make it easier
- to read these log files, a date should be included in the
- log file, for each entry.
-
-
- Bug nr 1081
- Reported on 21-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Arthur Stark
- Description When auto-adding a new fileecho to the ProBoard BBS, ALLFIX
- uses the fileecho name for the file area name instead of
- using the description of the fileecho.
-
-
- Bug nr 1088
- Reported on 25-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Joaquim Homrighausen
- Description ALLFIX may not be correctly putting the DIRect flag in the
- kludge lines for netmails.
- Comments This problem was only occuring for file attach messages.
- ALLFIX was still using the "Other mail status" field
- instead of the new "File attach status" field.

- Bug nr 1089
- Reported on 25-02-97
- Fixed on 23-03-97
- Reported by Notanee Bourassa

- Reported on 28-02-97
- Fixed on 26-03-97
- Reported by Thomas van Spronsen
- Description For RemoteAccess, ALLFIX now lists the file areas according
- to their RA number. This means that the list contains empty
- entries.
-
- The FIXUTIL Allfiles option seems to have problems with
- this. When an empty area has been selected, FIXUTIL scans
- the previous file area and adds those files to the allfiles
- listing.

- Reported by Tommi Koivula
- Description If ALLFIX can not find a file in the BBS specific file
- database, it should also look for the file in the FILES.BBS
- file.
-
- Comments This particular funtionality will not work for the BBS new

- Fixed on 28-03-97
- Reported by Simon Slater
- Description The signature field in the External programs menu, needs to

- Reported by Thomas van Spronsen
- Description ALLFIX may not e putting the "Local" status on File request
- reply messages.
-
- Comments The Local bit is now being set on the CC of the file
- request reports. BTW, The mail tosser may strip this bit!
-
- One other problem I noticed when fixing this little problem
- is that ALLFIX is not using the FakeAka when writing the
- CC. This has also been fixed. This is necessary so that the
- mailer tosser does not think that the message is a local
- message (which it really is).

- Suggested by Larry James, John Mudge
- Description The settings in the RAID menu contain the following items:
-
- Hatching
- Return Channel
-
- ALLFIX will use these settings to determine the access that
- nodes get for auto-added fileechos and when people attach
- themselves to fileechos using the AreaMgr.
-
- In other words:
-
- If Hatching is set to "Anyone..." then the "Receive from"
- field is turned on.
-
- If Return Channel is turned on, then no one will get the
- "Send too" turned on.

- the Internet Address field and a new field with the name
- "Send" which can have one of the following values:
-
- Nothing,
- Mail,
- Files,
- Mail and Files.
-
- The value of this field determines what ALLFIX should send

- Description There are a number of cosmetic problems in FCOMP:
-
- Typing FCOMP displays #25 (Shotgun) as Shotgun Profession
- (missing "al" at the end)
-
- After FCOMP is finished scanning the FA000000.DAT file,
- it displays the:

- contained in sub-directories in the archives. Only if the

- Description When auto-adding new fileechos, ALLFIX should check to make
- sure that the directory it creates for that fileecho is
- unique.
-
- Comments If the directory name that ALLFIX calculates already
- exists, then ALLFIX will add or replace the extension of
- the directory name with '000'. It will increment that

- Reported by Felix Mueller
- Description ALLFIX is corrupting the descriptions added to FILES.BBS
- files.
-
- Comments This particular problem only occured when the .TIC file
- only contained a Desc verb, and no Ldesc verbs and when the
- archive did not contain a FILE_ID.DIZ file (or the
- FILE_ID.DIZ option was turned off). This is why the problem
- was so difficult to find and fix. I kept thinking it had
- something to do with the new string routines I made.
- However, it turned out that a variable was not being
- initialized. This problem has been in ALLFIX for more than
- 2 years, and it only surfaced three betas ago!

- status on for all new nodes even if the "Hatching" option
- (Raid menu) is set to "Anyone..." The correct value is both
- Send too and Receive from.

- Fixed on 19-04-97
- Reported by Harald Harms
- Description In the previous beta the encoding used for sending files
- via the internet was changed to match the UUENCODE
- standard. The result was that some mailers (post road
- mailer, for example) automatically started unpacking the
- emails. The method used by ALLFIX has been changed only in
- the fact that the length of the lines in the emails has
- been increased from 60 to 80 characters (from 45 bytes to
- 60 bytes of the file, per line). This seems to prevent
- over-ambitious programs from seeing the file attaches
- Comments The request processor will still use the normal UUENCODED
- standard of 45 bytes per line (i.e. 60 chars).

- Remote Serial Number :@remoteserialnumber <-------
- Remote Mail Version :@remotemailversion <--------

- Description Due to the changes in the @include() macro (i.e. the fact
- that the included file can contain macro commands),
- the ALLFILES template does not work anymore.
-
- The @include() macro should be restored to it's old

- Comments The problem has been solved as follows:
-
- The @include() macro simply includes a text file, like it

- Sugggested on 18-05-97
- Implemented on 18-05-97
- Suggested by Harald Harms and many others
- Description When sending files accross the internet, ALLFIX either
- codes them or uuencodes them. Uuencoded files are not
- acknowledged. Also, those files need to be unpacked by the
- sysop him/herself. The coded files are automatically
- unpacked.
-
- The size of the "chunks" is, therefore, not imoprtant for
- the coded messages. The normal uuencoded messages, however,
- should be one large chunk, instead of being split up into
- 16kb chunks.
-
- This means that when you freq files via the internet, you
- will get one large file attach.

- Type ALLFIX,ALLFIX!,ALLFIX/2,AF_UNI
- Reported on 24-06-97
- Fixed on 27-07-97
- Reported by Michel van der Heijden
- Description When converting nested archives, ALLFIX may not be honoring
- the setting of the "Touch AV" option. In other words,
- ALLFIX may not be converted nested AV protected archives,
- even if the "Touch AV" is turned on.
- Comments The nature of this bug was such that ALLFIX would not
- convert nested AV protected archives, unless the Convert
- All option was turned on. If this option was turned on,
- then ALLFIX would, indeed, convert AV protected files if
- the Touch AV was turned off.

- Description One of the problems that ALLFIX has had for years concerns
- the options used to decompress TIC archives. If a TIC
- archive contains paths and the restore paths options are

- The only way to solve this problem is by introducing a new

- Description ALLFIX was still re-routing netmails that did not contain

- kludge line. If the MSGID did not contain a domain name,
- then ALLFIX was not properly interpreting the address in
