-
- This document contains a summary of the new features that this new version
- of ALLFIX will offer.
-
- * Ability to use all different types of ALLFIX's with one set of
- configuration files.

- ASETUP, and
- 2. It is possible to configure DOS and OS/2 compression programs.

-
- This means that the OS/2 version no longer uses it's own special
- .SCS file.
-
- * Ability to send mail and files via the internet.
-
- This option makes it possible to send mail and files encoded or not
- via the internet using many different email clients. ALLFIX can be
- used as a gateway to send mail and files to another part of the
- world via the internet. It can also be used to send mail and files
- to someone on the internet.
-
- ALLFIX also has the ability to process file requests via the
- internet. Simply send a message to an ALLFIX somewhere on the
- internet, and receive your files via the internet, uuencoded.
-
- Among the email clients supported by ALLFIX are:
-
- Eudura, PMMail, PostRoad mailer, UUCP, SOUP, Net Tamer, and more!
-
- * Extra features for the request processor
-
- 1. Pkt passwords for Binkley style systems,
- 2. Ability to specify maximum online time per freq,
- 3. Ability to send CC of file request report to SysOp,

-
- 1. ShotGun,
- 2. Terminate BBS, and
- 3. Magic BBS (FCOMP only).
-
- * Better support for the following BBS programs:
-
- 1. For RemoteAccess, Terminate BBS, Lora BBS, and ShotGun, ALLFIX
- now uses the actual BBS file area number as used by the BBS. This
- means that when adding new fileareas, the filefind file areas or
- the BBS new file dirs in ALLFIX do not need to be re-configured.
- 2. File points for Renegade BBS.
- 3. FILEAREA.FIX file will be automatically updated when ALLFIX or
- ASETUP thinks that it might be out of date.
-
- * The ability to select more than one file area per entry in the BBS
- new file dirs menu.

- 1. Automatically determine fileecho descriptions from FILEBONE.NA
- when auto-adding new fileechos.
- 2. The group selected when auto-adding a fileecho can now also be
- based on the system where the fileecho came from.
