- Features added to Ezycom V1.20 Release

- it
- o Added new q-a commands
- SETWANTCHAT <ON|OFF|TOGGLE>
- SETEXCLUDEUSER <ON|OFF|TOGGLE>
- SETCOMBINEDMAIL <ON|OFF|TOGGLE>
- SETHOLDMAIL <ON|OFF|TOGGLE>
- o you can now turn on/off allowing of taglines for blue wave
- mail... configurable in the offline section of config
- o in BadFiles.Ctl, you can now specify files that are ONLY
- allowed to be uploaded to your system. You do this by
- placing a "+" in front of the filename (Wildcards are valid).
- For instance, if you only wanted to allow uploads of archived
- files, your BadFiles.Ctl may look like...
-
- +*.ZIP
- +*.ARJ
- +*.RAR
- +*.ZOO
- +*.LHA
- +*.LZH
- o added the ability for nodes to request conferences on your
- uplinks system. In the node manager, place the filename that
- lists the available conferences your uplink has, in the
- node manager entry for your uplink. When a downlink requests
- a conference that you do not have, it searches all nodes, which
- match at least one echo manager group, for an area list. It then
- searches the area list, and if it finds a match, it will request
- the conference from that node.
- o when ezymail or ezyutil adds new conferences to your message base,
- it will now set the current users combined setting according to the
- initial combined setting used in auto adding the conference.
- o When you press "S" in a file listing, it will now immediately
- bring up the more prompt.
- o When ezynet exports netmail with file attaches, it now marks
- them as kill sent, if they were uploaded into the file attach
- path.

- correction. Files checked are
- FILES.EZY, FILEPATH.EZY, MESSAGES.EZY, ECHOMGR.EZY,
