- ──────────────────────────────────────
- Feb 23 1995

- has no been completed?
- A: Just tell your modem to drop the carrier when the DTR is becoming
- low.
-
- Feb 21 1995

- % Each address will be only once in the pollqueue

- and experienced no problems
-
- Jan 25 1995
- % Sometimes the crc-calculations went wrong in the EMSI module.
- / Now first the connection is terminated and then will the user be
- informed that something went wrong or that everything went ok.
-
- Jan 18 1995
- + If you have a part of a nodelist without the Zone and Region field,
- MM/2 did fill in them as zeros (so I would become 0:284/205.1 etc).
- You could fill in your own Zone and Region field into the nodelists,
- but that is now fixed by appending a starting nodenumber at the
- nodelist information in MMNODE.CTL.
- % When crashing something to a point it delivers it directly to the boss
- instead of to the point. (you get the point?)
- + Added `Toggle log' to the Global-menu. It hides the logwindow when it
- is showed and shows the logwindow when it is hidden.
-
- Jan 17 1995
- + Added FileMgr- and AreaMgr-requests. Due to this, AreaMgr and FileMgr
- password must be defined for each boss..
- / Menuitems FileRequest and FileTransmit have moved to another menu.
-
- Jan 15 1995
- % When writing a filerequest/filetransmit message MM/2 inserted too much
- NULL chars into the message causing them to be send from the address
- into the INTL-kludge
- % Log-window is removed when everything is transmitted correct.
-
-
- Version 1 - Build Jan 11 1995 21:11:50
- ──────────────────────────────────────
- + Everything is new...
