Changes
-------
There are so many changes to the program that this selection may not be
entirely exhaustive but, I will attempt to point out some of the largest
changes in MS-QWiK OS2 v4.3.
* 4.3 -
- Customize menu added.
- implementation of more SL-Tokens as follows:
{BLE} = Buffer display leftedge {BTE} = buffer display topedge
{BRT} = Buffer display rightedge {BBT} = Buffer display bottom edge
{BWI} = Buffer display width {BHI} = Buffer display height
{FRM} = current message's FROM: {TOU} = current Msg's TO:
{SBJ} = current message's SUBJ: {DAT} = current Msg's DATE:
{TIM} = current msg's TIME: {MYN} = your name/handle (see below)
{MYN} is actually uses the name of the person to whom the current
packet is addressed. (see the @{ " Packet Info " LINK D50 } menu item of MS-QWiK)
All buffer display tokens refer to the "message text window" where
the current message/bulletin is displayed. These are added to allow
adding these sizes to the console window spec so that, when opened,
they may fit perfectly inside the display.
- Quote wrapping and truncating options added to re-format or chop quoted
text when replying to a message.
- Wrap/Chop length made fully configurable.
- Capability to turn "Choose Area" window off so that it is not displayed
when a new conference/area is entered.
- Sorting of messages by user's choice. Currently, sorting by Subject,
FROM, TO or Date is possible.
- choose whether to write a "reply header" - containing the current
message's Subject, From, To, Date and Time - to your replies.
- option to turn on/off the scrollbars that encompass the message display.
- toggle ANSI filter on/off for exported (saved ANSI/ASCII text) messages.
- toggle ANSI filter on/off for quoted text in your replies.
- choice to list ALL conferences or only those containing messages.
- Now, configure your own "Pre-Quote text" that is written immediately
above quoted text. You may use MetalSoft SL-TOKENS here also. Here
is an example of the use of SL-Tokens for your PRE-QUOTE TEXT:
Quoting {FRM} to {TOU} on {DAT} at {TIM}
*See the section on SL-TOKENS for explanation of what each token
is expanded to or, stands for.
- Choose your own character(s) to be placed before each quoted line.
ie. Replace the '>' character if you wish..
- Set your own tab interpretation size. ie. Set TABS to 8, and each tab
is converted to 8 spaces.
