TELIX-SQUARE package by Inge Vabekk. Version 2.1.
CHANGES in version 2.0
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ This version only has some minor bug fixes: ║
║ ------------------------------------------- ║
║ 1. Joining a conference could result in an eternal loop if ║
║ the conference name was unknown to the BBS. This has ║
║ been fixed; the script will only perform a couple of ║
║ retries. If this happens during mail upload, the offen- ║
║ ding mail file will be unchanged. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 2. "Quick" logon to MBBS has been moved to the right place: ║
║ After the user name instead of after the password. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 3. The RING.SLT script could sometimes give a message that ║
║ a BBS was not found. This could happen when there was an ║
║ empty BBS name in the call list, or if the list ended ║
║ with CTRL-Z. This has now been fixed. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 4. When trying to resign from a non-resignable conference ║
║ in MBBS the script would loop indefinitely, trying to ║
║ repeat the command. This loop now tries max three times. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 5. When entering a message to an unknown user the attempt ║
║ to abort the message entry sometimes failed. The script ║
║ now avoids this situation. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 6. A "dummy "CAP" file is made if you are using XBoard. ║
║ This file contains the time and date you were last ║
║ logged on. ║
║ XBoard uses the time stamp of this file to determine ║
║ when the BBS was last called. ║

CHANGES in version 1.9
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ This version only has some minor bug fixes and additions: ║
║ --------------------------------------------------------- ║
║ 1. MBBS GRAB has been rebuilt, so that a conference list ║
║ is not required to inform whether there are messages ║
║ or not. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 2. Sometimes the scripts failed because a text from the ║
║ BBS passed by before the script started searching for ║
║ it. This happened mainly with slow computers and a fast ║
║ modem. ║
║ Now tracking for text is started before commands to trig ║
║ them are sent. This should overcome the problem. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 3. MBBS Quick Logon is implemented. This has been made ║
║ possible by the GRAB change in 1. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 4. The MailUp script could go into an eternal loop if the ║
║ name of the receiver is unregistered. This has now been ║
║ fixed. The script will give up and leave the mail file ║
║ unchanged for an automatic retry later. This happened ║
║ only with MBBS systems. ║

CHANGES in version 1.8
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ This version only has some minor bug fixes and additions: ║
║ --------------------------------------------------------- ║
║ 1. Messages are now not uploaded to READ ONLY conferences ║
║ (MBBS only). Instead the mail file is renamed, and a ║
║ message is displayed for information. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 2. The NEWFILES.SLT script introduced in version 1.7 has ║
║ been somewhat improved. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 3. The DIALBACK.SLT script is introduced. Note that Dial- ║
║ back is offered only by some sysops, usually very good ║
║ friends of yours. Telix_Square has had the support for ║
║ dial-back a long time, but the DIALBACK.SLT script has ║
║ been held back. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 4. The VOICE call support has been improved. There were a ║
║ couple of bugs that made it a little unstable. ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
CHANGES in version 1.7
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ This version only has some minor bug fixes and additions: ║
║ --------------------------------------------------------- ║
║ 1. An empty scratchpad was sometimes transferred from MBBS ║
║ systems. This has been fixed. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 2. The download script sometimes stopped downloading before ║
║ the maximum number of files was transferred. This has ║
║ now been corrected. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 3. A new login procedure for PCBoard systems with a prelog ║
║ door has been added. You will see no change for systems ║
║ without this door. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 4. The DNLOAD script now reports the real transfer time for ║
║ downloads. This means you can calculate the correct bps ║
║ transfer rate, which isn't always the same as reported ║
║ by the different protocols. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 5. Private uploads are now possible to MBBS systems. PCB ║
║ systems do not yet support this. In order to upload ║
║ private, use the "P:<name>" command in your upload ║
║ list file, either PUSH.LST or <BBS>.UL. More detailed ║
║ description in TLX_SQR.DOC. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 6. The "modem" variable has been introduced. You can add ║
║ this to your NAME.DAT file if you're calling boards ║
║ that give you dialback access. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 7. The NEWFILES.SLT script has been added. This enables you ║
║ to update the file list even if it isn't done automati- ║
║ cally (automatic update is only performed if the file ║
║ list hasn't been updated in at least three days). ║
║ I suggest that you add an entry for setting a function ║
║ key, for instance "f5 = @Newfiles" in your NAME.DAT file ║
║ for easy access to this script. ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ 8. The internal storage in GLOBAL.SLT could overflow. This ║
║ resulted in some strange behavior of the script package. ║
║ The global storage pointer is now checked every time a ║
║ new variable is requested to be stored. An appropriate ║
║ error message will be displayed and the variable will ║
║ not be saved. ║
