- IMPORTANT UPGRADE INFORMATION:
- ==============================
-
- Although there's no special conversion of config files necessary
- for FMail 1.02 when upgrading from FMail 0.98/0.98a/1.0g, you should
- check the BBS program option in FSetup (Miscellaneous, General Options).
-
-
- NEW FEATURES IN FMAIL 1.02
- ==========================
-
- FMail:
- - Fixed "arg list too long" problem with the DPMI version.
- There's now a file called FMLX_ARC.EXE include, which should be placed
- in the same directory as FMAILX.EXE. It assists in spawning the
- archiver programs.
- - Fixed "Can't find archiver" problem of the DPMI version
- - Fixed AKA-matching bug
- - Fixed update MSGINFO.BBS when sending Kill/sent netmail from Hudson
- - Fixed problem with write level when Security was turned off
- - Fixed problem with 'Not enough file handles' message
- - FMail now leaves messages with the LOK flag alone.
- - JAM reply linking has been built into FMAIL.EXE. This means, that now only
- areas in which mail was tossed, will be processed.
- - If there are more than one packet for a node, they now are added to the
- bundle in chronological order. This first was the reverse order...
- - There now is a possibility to have FMail store copies of all outgoing
- echomail messages in a directory. See 'Directories' in FSetup.
- - There now is support for the RAR and UC2 compression programs.
- - If you want, you now can install programs that will be run before and/or
- after mail has been compressed or decompressed. See Compression/Decompression
- in FSetup.
- - Areafix forwarding will create netmail messages with the KILLSENT flag.
- - Problems with upper and lower case of comments of autoconnected areas fixed
- - JAM auto-full rescan made more intelligent
- - Optional logging of execution of program
-
- FSetup:
- - Now you can use letter keys to select from menus
- - It's now possible to change the write level globally
- - Fixed RA JAM-board import
- - FSetup now uses AREADEF in stead of AREA in Golded config file
- - Empty JAM paths of deleted areas can be removed automatically
- - InterMail AutoUpdate function has been updated
- - Fixed board select
- - FSetup now uses the winter colorset by default when it is started
- for the first time
- - AreaMgr fastsearch: it is possible to type the entire area tag in stead of
- only the first letter when you try to find an area in the AreaMgr. Use
- <space> to start a new area tag.
- - In the compression/decompression section in FSetup, you now can use two
- variables behind the name of the archiving program: %a and %p
- %a is substituted by the path and name of the archive that should be
- processed
- %p is substituted by the path where the PKT files should be extracted
- (decompression) or by the path and file name of the PKT file that should
- be added to the archive (compression).
- If you don't use these variables, FMail will append the name of the bundle
- and the PKT file as it always did.
- - Export PVT switch to GoldEd's AREAS.GLD
-
- FTools:
- - FTOOLS exception fixed
- - FTOOLS POST JAM local flag
- - With FTOOL POST you now can create file attache messages. See
- FTOOLS POST /?
-
- There's also an OS/2 version. A major difference is that the OS/2 version has
- a new dupe detection engine that can contain up to 999*1024 signatures of
- messages! There is no FSetup for OS/2 yet. In stead, I included a modified
- version of the DPMI version. If you start that program in a DOS box with
- parameter /OS2, it will give you an option to set the number of signatures of
- messages that should be stored for dupe detection purposes. Each signature
- needs 4 bytes, so do not set the number of signatures too high! ;-)
