- -=( HandyMan 1.2 what's new )=-
-
- Note: The HANDYMAN.DEM contains a complete init file for handyman. If
- you're new to the program, just rename it to HANDYMAN.INI, otherwise
- copy parts of it to your existing INI file..
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- Release version 1.2
-
- Consider this version mainly a RA120 update.. There are other new options but
- there are also things left to do...
-
- - Added a chat indicator.
- - made RA 2.00 compatible
-
- Beta 6
-
- - And back it is again..;-) A new screensaver has been implemented and thison
- works as it should. The screen is restored whenever you press a key or when
- a user logs in. During a user online the screensaver is inactive.
-
- - Changed the format of the logfile a little.
- - Added two new keywords to the INI file. SWAPPATH and SWAPTO.
- SwapPath defines the path to swap to when swapping to disk is enabled
- SwapTo defines where to swap to during a shell. Possible values
- are EMS XMS EXT DSK ALL or a combination of those.
- - The HandyDwn semafore wasn't deleted when handy dropped to dos. Solved
- - The beta/copyrights window disappears a little quicker now.
- - It's possible now to quick-start the first 10 externals through
- ALT-1 to ALT-0. (0 is the 10th external!)
-
- Beta 5
-
- - and there goes the screensaver again.. Problems on the lantastic server,
- runtime-errors etc. If you want a screensaver, use one of the pd/shareware
- utilities special developed for it for the time being.
-
-
- Beta 4
-
- - Implemented a screensaver.. Just a simple one, which blanks the screen..
- - Tried to make Handy a little smarter try and see for yourself. If strange
- things happen, screens stop with updating and such, turn it off..
- - The fallback option didn't work when handy was waiting userinput. Now
- it does.
-
- Beta 3
-
- - Changed the way the cursorline works a little. Things shouls work a little
- smoother now when under an multitasker or network.
- - Changed the order in the INFO menu.
- - A number of little things internal.
-
- Beta 2,
-
- - Handy now returns to the directory from where it was fired up after
- an external or event.
- - Added some extra spaces to the "Illegal password" window.
- - Handy can log now. Just define a LOGFILE in the IniFile.
- - There are some META parameters defined for externals:
-
- %W% Wait before return to handyman. (5 Minutes max)
- %0% Wait if the exitcode from the program is <> 0.
- %A% Sound an alarm every 5 seconds after completing.
- %D% Don't clean the screen when shelling
-
- The following macro's are replaced with the info from the useronrecord
- of the selected line:
-
- %NAME% UserName
- %CITY% Location
- %BAUD% Baudrate
- %AKA% Handle
- %NODE% Node
-
- Misc. macro's:
-
- %LOG% The path and filename to the logfile.
-
-
- Beta 1,
-
- - Added a tool to clean one or more lines. This means that the UserOn record
- is cleaned and the RABusy semafore is deleted. Usefull after the crash of
- a line.
- - Removed a few little bugs.
-
-
- Beta 0,
-
- - Added the semaphore support alla UserOn.
- - Added diskchecks for low on diskspace
- - added the -DROPLEV:<EXITCODE> and -DROPDOS:<TIME> parameters.
- TIME is in minutes. It orders Handyman to drop to dos after <TIME>
- minutes with ExitLevel <EXITCODE> (Default=255);
- - Added HANDYDWN.<EXITCODE> semaphore. If Handy sees this semaphore in the
- semaphore directory it drops to dos with exitlevel <EXITCODE>
-
- - Undocumented until now. (I forgot) -DEBUG gives you an overview of the
- paths and such as handy sees it. The world according to Handy..
