Changes from 1.62 08/01/93
1) Aladdin now does not check, or even care what the connecter
address is.
2) zmodem resume is fixed. The new sas 6.3 compiler does not compile
lResumeOffset &= ~127; sas 6.2 does, as does microsoft's compiler.
Changes from 1.61 07/04/93
1) Fixed usage clock messages
2) Fixed problem with downloading from browse list
3) Fixed LOGOFF problem
4) Fixed hanging prolem in XMODEM uploads. Aladdin would sometimes loop
then seeing line noise on XMODEM uploads
Changes from 1.60 06/20/93
1) Change Software library routines to handle 65,280 files. While I
do not recomend that you keep this many files, (The data files are 7
megabytes) Aladdin will handle it. Bear in mind searching 7 megabytes
can take some time...
2) Software library indexing has changes, Aladdin no longer uses .IDX files
or .FFM files. The current files are;
.DAT data file
.DAI index file
.FFK file marks
3) All searches are added to the main Software list, browses work
just like 1.50.
4) Message at the top of the connect history changed.
5) Removal of dependance on command mode. Aladdin will _NEVER_ try to
enter command mode.
6) At load time Aladdin will check for the .DAI files, if they are missing
they will be recreated, this allows you to continue to use the DAT2TXT
type programs.
7) Fixed a long time bug, where BYE is typed at the Search Again (Y/N)?
8) Removed COMMANDMODE from script language.
9) Changed clock messages to "Usage Charges Stopped/Started"
Changes for 1.50 (ST and Amiga) 09/28/92
Internet mail.

download.log
Well, Ami Aladdin will now handle Internet mail automatically.
Now, replies that don't make it because of GEnie foulup no longer go to
"deadmail.txt", but rather stay in the queue to be uploaded later.
There is now a download.log file, that is created and updated as you
v1.05 12/16/91
o Add support for ZMODEM mail
o Add support for RAM dialog
o Add quoting feature
o Add Abort on Disk Full during autopass
o Fixed library in Air Warrior
o Check for previous search or Browse
o Lookback buffer appears to be much larger
o Add Connect time history
o Fixed menu highlighting
o Fixed "Do Pending"
Some additional details concerning these additions follows.
The new "Add support for ZMODEM mail" refers to the fact that Ami
Aladdin v1.05 now allows users to download files, attached to GE Mail
messages, using Zmodem protocol in Aladdin instead of Xmodem
protocol which, in turn, means that you will download the file faster
and with less connect time. This happens automatically if you have
selected Zmodem downloads on the Config page.
The new "Add support for RAM dialog" refers to the new dialog box
which pops up after you select "Get Messages..." with the Roundtable
menu bar. On the Get Messages dialog box that appears, there are two
new picks, RAM NOR, which stands for Read All Messages - No Reply,
and a new wild card selection which will let you get messages by
author, date, or any other legal search term. Please make sure you
click on "Specify" before tying in a command line. And, note that
this is not error checked. YOU must do it right!!
The new "Add quoting feature" refers to the new selection available
under the Edit menu bar, "Paste Quote" (Alt-Q). Let's say you're
reading a message and decide to reply to it and, in doing so, wish to
repeat some of what that person said in order to refresh their memory
of what they said so that your reply makes sense. While reading
their message, press Alt-C to "copy" that entire message to Aladdin's
clipboard. Press "R" to Reply (or click on the Reply button) and
then, instead of pressing Alt-V to Paste the clipboard contents to
the message (as in previous versions of Ami Aladdin), press Alt-Q
instead to Paste Quote and each line of text in the clipboard will be
preceded by a space and a greater than symbol. For example, using
Paste Quote will yield text that looks like this:
>to Paste the clipboard contents to the message (as in previous versions
>of Ami Aladdin), press Alt-Q instead to Paste Quote and each line of text
>in the clipboard will be preceded by a space and a greater than symbol.
>For example, using Paste Quote will yield text that looks like this:
The new "Add Abort on Disk Full during autopass" is just what it says
- a safety feature that safely aborts a download operation when there
is no longer any room on the destination disk for the file to be
downloaded to. When this occurs with the new version of Aladdin,
you will momentarily have garbage printed to your terminal screen
until Aladdin issues a break to GEnie, the downloading operation of
the file will stop, and your autopass operation will continue as if
you have had sufficient disk space for the file and the download of
it had been successful.
Air Warrior changed the location of their library. This version of
Aladdin uses the new correct location.
Previous versions of Aladdin would overwrite library searches (that
hadn't been looked at yet with new files. This version will not.
The lookback buffer was optimized so that it can hold much more
information. It now appears to be about 4 times larger.
A Connect Time History was added. You must turn this on by clicking
on the new "Connect" gadget on the Config Menu Page. Then you can
read your connect time history by selecting 'Connect History" under
the Terminal Menu. Please Note: This is an approximation of the
time you are online. It will never be exactly the same as what GEnie
is going to charge you. Please Please Please do not call feedback
and say that Aladdin says my bill should be different then what it
is.
Some bugs in the menu highlighting were found and killed.
Do Pending in the RoundTable and Library menus was changed, Now if
you select Do Pending it will only do the tasks in the library or the
RT it was selected in. It will not do both.
Ami Aladdin is an ongoing project. There will be new releases at
various times throughout the coming year. We look forward to your
comments and suggestions for future versions.
