- 02/21/96 - Initial limited v0.55α release.
-
- 02/21/96 - Well, that version seemes to have flopped for folks
- using points as the NODE or FTPFEED entries.
- Fixed this.. Minor Bug in my UNIT....
-
- Fixed a problem where the DeleteFileSent AND TruncateFileSent
- ^aFLAGs are set... I'll Display a warning message, and default
- to TruncateFileSent to be safe. (Somebody think this needs to
- be different?)
-
- Fixed the ^aVia Kludge Line at the end of the messages in the
- packet...(I hope.. Seemed okay to me before...?? I use PeekPack
- to view packets.. Do you guys have something different?)
-
- Now Log Number of files attached to a message, as well as the
- Message From & To fields.
-
- If you experience irratic behavior with the KILL/SENT Attribute,
- please let me know what editor you are using... Or what program
- generated the NetMail message. Either bit 7 of the attribute is
- on or off.. it can't be both, but the editor or program might be
- backwards.. I got the info from the FTSC Specs....
- If you see this.. And you ran with the -T(est) option, check the
- message with your Editor.. (I use FM.EXE or D'Bridge's Editor..
- The Status: line should show it as KILL/SENT or not... (Alt-S
- in FM.EXE).
-
- You can also check the FLAGS... In FM.EXE it's ALT-X.. In D'Bridge
- it's CTRL-K (Kludge Lines).
-
- 02/22/96 - Sent a "Special" copy to Hardy, since I never heard from you
- others.
-
- This version (v0.56bα) fixed the KFS/TFS Problem.. He tells
- me it does. :-)
-
- Version 0.57α -
- Fixes more point addressing issues.
- Thanx for those test messages.. They really helped!
-
- Fixed the Logging and display of WhoFrom: and WhoTo:, was always
- displaying WhoFrom!...
-
- Fixed the ^aVia line again.. Now I figured it out.. Was moving
- a string to an array, and was getting one character off in the
- move. This was hosing the EndOfPacket stuff.... PeekPack seems
- to be more happy... (Again, thanx' for those test messages! They
- really helped me out, since I could see messages from different
- programs...i.e. AllFix, RA/(Whatever you used to toss), FM.EXE,
- Etc...)
-
- 03/11/96 - v0.60α Released to testers!
-
- There are some MAJOR changes here.. Please remember to use
- -D Debug and -T Test options
-
- Added the beginnings of the FD Style Log.. Need much more work
- here!
-
- Runtime errors are trapped. Review FD2FTP.ERR for information if
- an error occurs. Hopefully this, as well as Range Chacking ON
- will keep Hardy from finding a hung system. :-)
-
- Multiple (<= 50) FTPFeed Configurations are in! (Routing is not!)
- This version has a MAJOR change in the config file! Please review
- the sample config file FD2FTP.CFG for info on how to set yous up.
- You can have up to 50 FTPFeed BEGIN/END Blocks in one config file.
- I have NOT tested this with greater than 2 blocks.. There MIGHT
- be a problem if you near the 20 file handles share establishes by
- default..
-
- The temp packet FD2FTP.$$$ is no longer used. With multiple
- feeds the temp file naming is ###$$$.%%% where the format is as
- follows:
- ### = Zone Base-36
- $$$ = Net Base-36
- %%% = Net Base-36
-
- This MAY be a problem for POINTs... (Hardy?)
- The file should be POINT.### where ### is the
- point number.
-
- If you played with D'Bridhe this may look similar
- to the DB Queue naming. :-)
-
- If you use the -D debug option, you'll be told
- the filename.. It'll never change once configured.
- If FD2FTP bombs.. Look for these files and rename
- the to something.pkt.. that's all they are.
-
- I didn't get a chance to update the DOCS for this version, I
- wanted to let you guys test it! The config file is heavily
- commented, so that should be enough information to get you going.
- Note that the proposed routing info is included, but commented
- out. The SEND_CRASH and SEND_IMM kludges are NOT implemented in
- this version.. Tell me if we need those still.. (I assume yes).
- The IGNORE_DIR kludge is NOT implemented yet.. DIR message ARE
- packetized, IF the message is addressed to the SAME address as
- your FTPFeed. (We had a LOT of discussion about this in the
- mailing list..)
-
- Messages marked CRASH or IMMediate are ignored.. Thus allowing
- your mailer to deliver the message via land-line. REMEMBER,
- messages with the DIR flag ARE sent, IF they are addressed to
- your FTPFeed.
-
- Initiated the FD2FTP Mailing list.
- Join us by sending e-mail to fd2ftp-s@hotlin.fidonet.org if you
- wish to subscribe, or to listserv@hotlin.fidonet.org for more
- info. If you're interested in the Fido Echo, please contact me
- at 1:357/114 or hotline@proaxis.com.
-
- Remember:
-
- Errorlevels:
-
- 0 = Everything went ok, something was moved
- 1 = Warnings exist, Something was moved.
- 2 = Everything went ok, nothing was moved
- 3 = Everything went ok, but can't move to outbound directory/name.
- Leaving packet in current directory!
- * 245 = Error in BEGIN/END Matching for FTPFeeds.
- 253 = Unable to create/build temporary packet file.. Nothing Done!
- 254 = Configuration file incomplete!
- 255 = Configuration file missing!
-
- 03/12/96 - v0.61α
-
- Hardy found problem with USING config option.. Rather a problem
- if NOT using it.... Fixed.
-
- F_Attached files were copied to the wrong location...
- That was a carry over from the single feed version.. Not the error
- but the variables associated with it.. Problem should be fixed
- now.
-
- Fixed Message number padding.. now allows 9999 messages! :-)
-
- 03/12/96 - v0.62α
-
- Still no updated Docs... Review the new config file for changes.
-
- Un-needed crying/attention getter removed! (Trying to move temp
- packets that never got created!) Shouldn't do that now.
-
- Added additional Logging options... -V (Verbose (Debug) Logging)
- command line option. -D displays DEBUG info -V LOGS it!
-
- Added -H command line option.. (Help on options..)
-
- Added to the Debug info.. the Message Attributes. CRASH, IMM,
- F_ATTACH, KFS, TFS, DIR.
-
- Added some kludges to allow customization on how messages are
- sent out!
-
- By default, DIR messages addressed to the FTPFeed address are
- sent... IGNORE_DIR tells FD2FTP to ignore messages with DIR
- markings... (Yeah.. You can turn it off John <Grin>)
-
- By default CRASH and IMMediate messages are NOT sent!
- SEND_CRASH and SEND_IMM will tell FD2FTP to send those type
- of messages out via FTPmail.. The choice is yours...
- Most folks will not use these options.. allowing the mailer to
- use Ma Bell for those types of messages.
-
- LOCKED Messages are NOT sent!
-
- Changed some internal parsing of the config file... FD2FTP now
- should not care if you end your path(s) with the '\' or not.
- (Internally, if you DO put it there... I'll remove it! <Grin>)
-
- Minor cosmetic changes... You tell me if you can tell what they
- are! :-)
-
- Crital errors cause an errorlevel exit of 89..
- (If you 89 it, isn't it trash? <Grin>)
-
- 03/14/96 - v0.63α
-
- Fix problem with LARGE messages.. Message size shouldn't mater
- now! (Thanx' for the 68k Message Eric!)
-
- Changes Config KEYWORDS:
- NODE now is ADDRESS (Although NODE will still work)
- USING is now USE_AKA (Although USING should still work)
-
- Security update! :-)
- You can now specify the Packet Password to use for EACH FTPFeed.
- This will help where even though the FTPFeed has an account for
- you, they still utilize FTSC Style Packet Passwords!
- You can have a password as long as you want, but FTSC Specs only
- allow for the first eight characters...
-
- More MINOR cosmetic changes.... Will work on the LOG file tonight.
-
- 03/15/96 - v0.64α
-
- Fixed ^aFLAG miss-interpretation.... It's more selective now.
-
- Log Style changed! Should now be Fully FD(/IM?/MD?) Style!
-
- 03/20/96 - v0.70ß

-
- Fix problem of erroring when there are no messages in the NetMail

- 04/05/96 - v0.72ß
-
- Got word back that there was still a problem... Usually between
