- This is an in-between release. It will fix most of the nasty bugs (I
- hope) that were introduced with 2.01a (2.01a was created under big
- pressure and that did more harm than good, sorry).
-
- See XFD.FUT for a list of things that will be implemented in one of
- the following 'real' versons.
-
- Please keep sending examples for protocols. I am testing the at the
- moment so no new protocols are added to this release but will be in
- the next release !!!

- ┌───────┬────────────────────────────┐
- │ 2.01a │ Bug release │
- └───────┴────────────────────────────┘
- ■ Bimodem would fail (displaying help-screen) in some situations.
- This is fixed;
-
- ■ All protocols would give various errors in local mode because
- most of the time the COM0 (invalid port) was passed. Local
- testing will now bring a window on-screen with the call that
- FileDoor will make (program, location, options) when running
- remote;
-
- ■ GIF files were not counted as archives. This is (temporary) fixed
- by including them as archive extension;
-
- ■ Backspace on remote side was not (always) destructive. This is
- replaced with a 'backspace, space, backspace' combination;
-
- ■ Fixed some internal coding. Credit scoring for Bimodem upload in
- download-menu was not counted. Fixed;
-
- ■ PFILES.BBS was a selectable file. This is now fixed. PFILES.BBS
- and PFILES.BAK are now skipped;
-
- ■ Fixed problem with the upload-exits. They were not called when
- Bimodem (possible uploads!) was selected in -DD or -DB menus;
-
- ■ Added a new option, HideFiles;
-
- ■ Added support for MTA 14.45 recompressing utility under FileDoor
- ExitAfterUploadx options;
-
- ┌───────┬────────────────────────────┐
- │ 2.02 │ 'Minor' and bug release │
- └───────┴────────────────────────────┘
- ■ Fixed a problem where the download of Bimodem files was not counted
- at all;
-
- ■ Aborted downloads in either DSZ, Other or OPUS flavour were always
- counted. This could cause the following scenario. Download 40K,
- abort after 20K, resume, abort at 30K, resume, abort at 39K, resume,
- done. The user was counted for 20+30+39+40=129K and not 40K. This
- is fixed;
-
- ■ Errorlevel uploads could be counted as wrong when an exit was called
- after the upload. This is fixed;
-
- ■ The problem with MinSpace is fixed at last (I hope). Both the inter-
- nal coding AND the method are changed. I now use a faster method
- and will also be able to cover more type of drives (RAM-disk, LAN
- drives, SUBST-drives, ASSIGNed drives and such);
-
- ■ There is a flaw in some BBS programs that causes FileDoor to display
- a very large number for the remaining download-credit. This is the
- case when the downloaded KB's is set higher than the limit (by the
- Sysop). This causes the reversed to happen. This is NOT a problem of
- FileDoor but a problem of the BBS that passes the wrong value to
- the door. A message is send to the author(s) of those BBS's;
-
- ■ When there is no specific log-file present (all 3 types) and there
- is nothing to add also, FileDoor would create a log-file with a 0
- byte length. This is fixed;
-
- ■ The special upload/download log contained the name of the day and
- not the month. This is fixed;
-
- ■ For SBBS users, the name of FILES.SBS is changed in FLSEARCH.CTL;
-
- ■ Clarified documentation on the search for FileDoor.CFG;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem with the sharing of FILES.RA (and alike) files;
-
- ■ Fixed a problem with the sharing of HLP_*.* and MNU_*.* files;
-
- ■ The ASCII help-files could not be found. This is fixed;
-
- ■ Fixed various errors with errorlevel/other protocols and download;
-
- ■ Fixed the calls to various protocols (Bimodem to name one);
-
- ■ LHA archives with level-2 headers would not be detected. This is
- fixed;
-
- ■ If -U is present on the call to FileDoor (and also -P, see later),
- FileDoor will not check any UploadPath (PUploadPath) option in
- FileDoor.Cfg for valid data;
-
- ■ Using // in the wrong way caused the previous selection (or trash)
- to be displayed on the display. This is fixed;
-
- ■ After the selection of the protocol, FileDoor will now send a
- clear-screen so there will be no trashed screen at the user
- side;
-
- ■ Added the NOEMS and NOXMS options;
-
- ■ Added PUploadPath (and -P) to move private uploads to a different
- directory than the upload-directory (if wanted);
-
- ■ Did a complete facelist to the file-selection. Added /Q, /S to
- be used by the user and ExactMatch and QuickMatch to be used
- by the Sysop. See the new chapter for a discussion on the file-
- selection;
-
- ■ Changed the support for //. There will be a separate question
- for the password and this password is protected on-screen with
- '*'.
-
- ■ Added AlienArchive option to point to special types of archives
- that FileDoor has no knowledge of.
