- RECENT CHANGES:
- ===============
-
- Corrected problem with viewing remote files in the 32 bit version
- Increased file transfer limit to 1024 from 256
- Changed connect processing when address is specified and for
- PASV mode to eliminate pause with new MS-TCP/IP 32.
-
- Fixed wait cursor in Win32s (ws_ftp32)
- Fixed horizontal scroll in change-dir dialog
- Added View Links as... session option
- Fixed keys in connect dialog
- Fixed picture in about dialog
- Fixed WS_FTP32 exception problem
-
- NOTE: M6 users MUST have a domain name server defined and pointing
- to an ACCESSIBLE domain name server due to a bug in the MS
- TCP/IP 32 code. This should be fixed in M7. The effects of
- this bug, which eats file resources, appears in numerous
- situations. All of these require rebooting. This bug has
- been corrected in the release version of MS TCP/IP 32 for
- WFWG 3.11.
-
- If you report a bug (to <junodj@css583.gordon.army.mil>) then
