FidoQWK - FidoNet(tm) <=> QWK Echomail Processor
= [ v1.18 ] ====================================================================
17-Jul-1993 + Added /FSPEC:ArcSpec;PktSpec to PKT2REP. See documentation
for details.
+ Added /TAG to QWK2PKT to force it to append network tagline to
all messages doesn't matter if the messages already have a
network tagline.
+ Fixed the formatting of the 'SEEN-BY:' line.
+ Some other unnoticeable items. I won't mention them because
they're invisible.
- Thanks Alec Grynspan
= [ v1.17 ] ====================================================================
01-Jul-1993 - I've moved, please note the new mailing address.
+ Included PNTDMP.EXE to list out the content of the .PNT files.
+ QWK2PKT module now appends 'SEEN-BY:' lines to messages.
= [ v1.16 ] ====================================================================
11-May-1993 - PKT modules released.
* Remember to backup your old setup before upgrading to this new
version.
+ Added more path configuration items under option 'A' in FQSETUP
for location of inbound/outbound .PKT packets.
+ The module QWK2PKT allows for conversion of .QWK into Fidonet
.PKT ArcMail packets. The PKT2REP module converts .PKT ArcMail
packets as well as StoredMail packets into a .REP file.
= [ v1.15 ] ====================================================================
18-Apr-1993 - QWK2REP enhancements to handle multiple host BBSes & packets.
+ With v1.12, to convert HOSTBBS.QWK for importing to THISBBS the
command used was "QWK2REP HOSTBBS". To convert THISBBS.QWK for
exporting to the HOSTBBS the command was "QWK2REP THISBBS".
Starting with this version, to convert HOSTBBS.QWK for importing
to THISBBS, the command would be "QWK2REP HOSTBBS /IN". To
convert THISBBS.QWK for exporting to HOSTBBS, the command would
be "QWK2REP HOSTBBS /OUT". This modification allows multiple
host BBSes.
- Thanks Dennis Hauser
+ All modules can now process multiple QWK packets. If multiple
QWK packets from the same BBS are found in the QWK directory,
all packets can now be processed. To enable this feature, use
the /MULTI switch on the command line. Note that the packets
must follow the .QW? naming method (ie: BBSID.QWK, BBSID.QW0).
= [ v1.14 ] ====================================================================
06-Apr-1993 - Some 'PATH:' kludge lines are not getting stripped.
- Thanks to C.G. Learn
= [ v1.13 ] ====================================================================
21-Mar-1993 - Support BBS available. Thanks to Chris Lautenbach and Toronto
Twilight 1-416-733-9012 for providing the support conference.
+ Fixed a problem with 'Kludge' lines not being stripped from
messages. Only the MSG2REP module is affected.
- Thanks to C.G. Learn
= [ v1.12 ] ====================================================================
12-Mar-1993 - This release contains mostly requested features as well fixing
any bugs in previous versions.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please run CONVERT.EXE included in this package to update your
************* configuration files before using this version.
+ QWK2REP module is now fully completed. Only one configuration
is needed for each host BBS.
+ Added 10 slots for network taglines. This is for used for
anyone carying more than one networks. These taglines are
defined from FQSETUP's option 'D'.
+ Lots of enhancements to FQSETUP; Online Help is now available
at the touch of the F1 key in most sections
+ Configurable message attributes for each/all message areas.
Press the F3 key while editing host BBS to setup the default
attributes. Press F3 key when editing message areas to setup
attributes for that area.
+ Origin, Seen-By stripping added:
The MSG2REP switches /NoOrigin and /NoSEENBY will strip out
most Origin and SEEN-BY lines.
+ All modules will now write to the log file 'FIDOQWK.LOG'
= [ v1.11a ] ===================================================================
08-Nov-1992 - Quick fix for compatibility with some FidoNet mail packers
!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you're running versions prior to v1.11, please download
FIDOQ111.ZIP. You need to run CONVERT.EXE from the v1.11
package to update your configuration files before using this
version.
- QWK2MSG is the only module updated in this release.
+ Turned on the "Local" attribute bit. GEcho doesn't include
messages in the .PKT without this bit turned on. Don't know
why it needs this bit turned on; Qmail worked fine with this
bit turned off. I'll make these attribute bits configurable in
a future version.
+ Null-termination weren't being added to messages already
containing a network tagline.
= [ v1.11 ] ====================================================================
08-Oct-1992 - Partially completed the QWK to REP (QWK2REP.EXE) conversion
module.
+ QWK to REP conversion is useful in environment where the
FidoNet *.MSG isn't desired. QWK2REP can convert the host
BBS's QWK packet into a .REP packet for uploading to the local
BBS. It's working, but not quite complete, 2 separate BBS
setup is required if you want to use this module now.
+ Had to do a quick fix on the tag that I put on imported/sent
messages. It was being erased by Maximus when the message was
replied to. This caused FidoQWK to pick these messages up as
new messages.
The tag now uses the "Originate Node" and "Cost" field in the
*.MSG header. I don't see any BBS software using these fields,
but let me know if it interferes with the BBS software. It
may have to be visible if I can't use the message header to
store it.
= [ v1.10 ] ====================================================================
26-Sep-1992 - I was hoping for a major update for this version number, but
this tiny item came up.
+ Properly updates the extra date/time fields that Opus and
Maximus uses.
= [ v1.09 ] ====================================================================
09-Sep-1992 - Guess I'm back.
+ Reworked the SysOp name translation functions. This function
will be used on the command line for now:
To translate "SYSOP" to "GEOFFREY SY" in all the "FROM:"
field in the messages, use: /TF:SYSOP=GEOFFREY;SY
To translate the "TO:" field, use: /TT:SYSOP=GEOFFREY;SY.
Both the /TF and /TT functions work with both MSG2REP as well
as QWK2MSG.
+ The PURGE.EXE utility is used to remove all the *.MSG files
and reset the high-water marks to 1.
- If you've been using the /IS (ignore sent) switch, you should
stop using it now. This version of FidoQWK no longer observes
or uses the "sent attribute". If the /IS switch is used, all
messages, including messages created with FidoQWK will be sent
to the .REP packet.
