Wave Rider 1.01 Release Notes
=============================
Features Added
==============
1. Carbon Copy.
Blind Carbon Copy (no cc: line) is now available when replying. To
access Carbon Copy, choose Carbon copy from the Messages menu.
There is no button or hot key for this feature.
You will be shown two list boxes, which you can populate either by
opening a saved text file or by typing in names in the text box
above the left list box. After you have populated the left list
box, choose OK to send the multiple messages.
2. Saving of window size.
With the release of 1.01, WaveRdr now remembers the window size of
opened message packets and reply windows.
How to use: resize the window you want to save the size of.
Warning! Maximized window setting are not saved. WaveRdr saves the
underlying window size.
You will see two additional sections in your WaveRdr.ini file,
[Write Window]
Left=3
Top=0
Right=1001
Bottom=656
[Read Window]
Left=5
Top=6
Right=1015
Bottom=665
These settings were created on a 1024x768 screen, your sizing may
vary.
Fixes
=====
1. Changed several spelling errors in dialog boxes, and in one case,
add the word not as in " .. you must NOT use a root directory as a
temp directory..".
2. Fixed problem with long headers in control.dat (QWK)
3. Fixed problem with quoting, words wrapping to next line.
4. Fixed problem with QWK taglines missing one character.
5. Fixed bulk text exports. The right number of messages were
exported, but not the correct ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
Q: How do I delete a reply?
A: Replies are stored in a virtual area called "Replies."
1. Choose Replies from the Areas menu. This makes Replies your active
window.
2. Choose List from the Messages menu.
3. Highlight the message you want to delete in that list box.
4. Choose Delete.
Q: How do I move from the top of the reply window to the bottom
without using my mouse?
A: The bottom window of the reply is a pane, to change panes, use the
F6 function key.
Q: Why does WaveRdr convert messages packets to BlueWave format
before opening?
A: It was easier to code that way. If we had included both native
file formats, the resulting executible would have been much
larger.
Q: Why do QWK taglines only allow 57 characters, and BlueWave
taglines allow 70 characters?
A: During early beta testing, every packet format could use 70
characters. However, the ... sequence BlueWave taglines use at
the beginning of each line caused some mail tossers to puke, so we
hard coded 57 characters in QWK mode.
Q: Can I register via credit card?
A: You sure can. Crystal Cavern has a credit card door on line to take
your order. Choose W from the main menu.
Q: What language is Wave Rider written in? Why is the unzipper a
Visual Basic application?
A: WaveRdr is written 100% in Visual C++ version 1.0. WRUZ.exe, the
zipper/unzipper was written with code we purchased from EllTech.
Their C routines are not available yet. Once they become
available, WRUZ's functionality will be added to WaveRdr.
Q: How do I get my Ansi bulletins?
A: AnsiView is the ansi viewer spawned by WaveRdr. Choose View, Ansi
Message. You will then be given a menu of the most common files.
