READ ME FILE FOR ST ALADDIN VERSION 1.2 01/10/90
This version is much faster then the original version of ST Aladdin
it also takes better advantage of Computers with large amounts of
memory. One of the ways it is faster is by using a larger disk buffer.
Aladdin ST has an entirely new editor, key stroke compatible with
the old one. Its just a world quicker and better! Numerous little things
were touched up and cleaned up.
UNDER THE FILE MENU BAR
In the Configuration Menu you have three new selections.
Non-Standard, this button should be left alone unless you are an
experienced GEnie/Aladdin user. When this option is off Aladdin tells
GEnie that this is Aladdin calling, and to use the optimal parameters for
this Aladdin session. When this option is selected you must configure
Aladdin, and GEnie to the same parameters before Aladdin can function
with GEnie.
Scroll, this handles how the system does the paging, if you want a
line left at the top of the screen or if you do not want a line left
at the top of the screen.
Bookmarks, with bookmarks on, when you exit the "read messages"
window, the current message number is saved in the file. The next
time you read that set of messages you will be positioned to the last
message you read. The nice thing about the way the bookmarks are
implemented, is that they are preserved between sessions, and are
only reset when a new set of messages come in.
UPDATE TOPIC LIST When you click on this choice Aladdin will call up
GEnie and update all the topic lists of the RTs you have selected in
the RT Config. (You should do this every few months to update your
index.. Topics do get moved and deleted)
BROWSE FILE The Browse file has been changed so that it will now
load a file as big as memory.
EDIT MENU
Like I mentioned previously this is a totally new editor. It has
been rewritten from the ground up. It uses the same commands as the
old one. One new feature was added. If you are reading a message in
Roundtable BB you can press ALT C and it will save the message to
the clipboard. Then you can go to write an Email or Reply to a
message and press ALT V and the message you saved to the clipboard
will be there. This will also work if you are replying to a
message. Move the cursor to the original message and press ALT C,
then move the cursor back to the reply window and press ALT V.
ROUNDTABLE MENU
You can now Mark and Unmark topics.
RTC mode, the space optimizer was removed (except for trailing
spaces)
Misc.
Category Selection Bug fixed.
Editor buffer will use all available memory.
Lost reply bug fixed.
DEADMAIL.TXT now correctly contains the contents of messages
that can not be posted.
SCRIPT LANGUAGE
Current executing script command is displayed in the title bar.
New command HHH ON|OFF turns on or off the sending of "HHH"
New keyword "AUTO" when used with the SCRIPT command, marks the
script to be used instead of the internal routines for dialing GEnie.
Pause command now gives up a time slice for incoming data
DAYOFWEEK syntax corrected
PROBLEMS
Some people are having problems with the modem not dialing or not
hanging up. If you have this problem please read Cat 1 Top 1 for
info on how to configure your modem. If that doesn't work you
might possibly need a new modem cable. Aladdin needs a modem
cable with all the pins connected.
DO NOT use copyfix.. If the original version of ICD's COPYFIX is in your
list of ACC's ST Aladdin will not function properly.
If you have any other problems or questions feel free to ask in the
ST Aladdin RT, There is no charge while you are in the BB section of
the RT.
Please Read Cat 1 Topic 1. Anything of earth shaking importance is
placed in here.
