- Appendum For V3.5
-
- I haven't got time to rewrite the manual to cover the changes
- in V3.5, however they are quite small but significant and I feel
- some explanation is needed.
-
- The only real change for V3.5 is better configurability. This has
- led to a longer installer script and a new file called S:cp.config
- (an example is included in the config drawer).
-
- Control Panel can now launch most mail, news, ftp etc. programs.
-
- As long as you follow the instructions in the installer script
- the config file will be created automatically.
-
- If s:cp.config doesnt exist or any of the lines in the file are
- missing, default values will be used instead.
-
- When you now choose news from the application menu, your selected
- newsreader runs, you do not get a choice.
-
- I have also included a patch so that PPP.Device users can use
- Control Panel properly.
-
- If you haven't got a file called Amitcp:bin/startnet which
- starts AmiTCP and sets your environment variables, you must
- start AmiTCP manually before attempting to use Control
- Panel.
-
- There was also a bug which meant that if ENV:Realname wasn't set
- Control Panel wouldn't run, this has now been fixed.
-
- I have also included a quick preview of what V4 will look like.
- If you have any comments on its look I would appreciate them.
-
- Please feel free to contact me about any aspect of Control
- Panel, or just for a quick chat!
