RELEASE HISTORY
---------------
Version 1.0 - 9/89
Version 1.5 - 11/89
Version 1.51 - 12/89
Version 2.00 - 6/90
Version 2.00a - 10/90
Version 2.01 - 03/91
Version 1.5 (11/89) contains three new programs in addition to
fixes for all the known bugs in Version 1.0. Several of the
existing utility programs have also been enhanced. Some of the
most visible changes are:
- the utilities USERLIST, MSET and REBOOT have been
added. See your documentation for details.
- a bug that caused the MESSAGE utility to crash while
running under graphics programs has been fixed.
- the MESSAGE utility has been enhanced to allow the
display of longer messages, and to display the
time at which the message was sent.
- the utilities (specifically FASTNET and LOGIN) no
longer rely on undocumented features of COMMAND.COM.
They will now work with all compatible command
shell processors, including J.P. Software's 4DOS.
- LOGIN has been relinked to give you up to 64K more
available memory during login script execution.
In Version 1.51 (12/89) we've fixed two remaining problems with the
MESSAGE utility.
- In version 1.5 (MESSAGE version 1.6), MESSAGE could
occasionally cause a lockup if a message came in at just
the wrong point in a disk intensive operation. The new
version checks much more carefully to be sure that it's
safe to pop up.
- The older version of MESSAGE had the annoying property
of sometimes preventing stations from accessing a server
while a message was popped up on the server's screen. The
improved "pop up safety checking" also eliminates this
problem.
Version 1.52 (4/90) adds improved DOS 4.xx compatibility.
In Version 2.00 (6/90) new programs were added: FU, SU, INTERCOM,
DELAY, and LUSETUP. MESSAGE's pop-up mechanism was reworked for
greater reliability.
Version 2.00a (10/90) contains a fix for a bug that kept LOGIN from working
correctly when no password is given under LANtastic NOS 3.0.
Known bugs in this version:
----------------------------
MSET does not seem to set the master copy of the environment when
running under DOS 4.01 if the environment size has been changed with
the /E parameter in CONFIG.SYS.
Version 2.01 (3/91) is not shareware -- it can be freely used and
distributed. Source code is also available: see the file LANUTILS.DOC for information.
