NEW: New option for SFI users. Do not detect vocal eyes. See Speech
Friendly Interface options.
FIX: Fixed problem of saving searched mail with a given file name.
4.00B02 ******* Mon 12-06-1993 22:43:00 ******
NEW: REAL MODE ONLY: Added the ability to SWAP within a Window command.
Now you can put a window viewer for the archivers, for example.
W 2 5 78 18 $PKZIP %1
Under protected mode, you can use window viewers safely since
there is plenty of memory and no need to swap.
FIX: Fixed ticker tape problem when registered. The default ticker
tape will now go away when user is registered.
FIX: Fixed bug where search routine had a problem reading certain types
of QWK NETWORK packets. These QWK NETWORK packets have a 128 byte
record after the last message containing 255 values. Xpress will
now simulate an END OF FILE.
ENH: Cosmetic change in kill mail process. The word SHRED was replaced
with the word PURGE. Sounds more meaningful.

NEW: Added a F5 function key to conference pick window to show
conference information.
NEW: Added new OPX packet information to better distinguish type of BBS
being used to help prepare reader for custom BBS features as they
change.
ENH: Added color options for Pop Flags in SXCOLOR.EXE
ENH: Xpress will now update FDX file when exiting conferences. This
should help preserve your reading statistics in case of accidental
lock ups.
FIX: Fixed a date BUG which showed up in the reply header system.
FIX: Fixed bug where "ADD DRIVES/DIR TO LOADER" when OFF did not produce
a packet list.

TheDraw supports these codes as well.

FIX: Internal Viewer, UP/DOWN labels were reverse.
ENH: XPLANG.DEF enhanced for auto filing system.
FIX: Fixed a bug in the Search System for QWK packets. If attempting

ENH: Did not show any indication of a CC MAIL created to the original
recipient if all copies are BLIND.
ENH: Added Tab expansion to viewer.

which has a '---',' * ' or a ' ■ '.

was used instead of 200 "File not found" in various spots.

System.

2 lines, one for prompts, one for dynamic status display.
- Fix: Changing bottom row did not take effect until restart.

How to apply:
1) Cleaning up Tag lines, moving them around.
2) Cutting and pasting between file cabinet and message.
FIX: Fixed HANGUP where some of the following list files were missing:
- CABINET.LIS
- SEARCH.LIS and any *.KW or RULE files.
FIX: OS/2 2.1 has a DOS emulation bug when doing a directory search in
a DOS based program. Phanthom Volume IDs are returned for no
apparent reason. The new CSD fixes this bug. However, there is a
way to correct in DOS by being specific in a directory search and
exclude the volume bit. The DOS/DPMI reader is now more specific
in looking for files to avoid this OS/2 2.1 DOS emulation bug.

NEW: Added direct Internet support for the new XPRESS MAIL DOOR
internet options. OPX only.
