--------
Mostly bug fixes in the 1.45 release. Important fixes were:
PRESCAN.EXE bug where it wouldn't create the USERS.SYS (therefore
prescan packet wouldn't be generated).
CAM-MAIL.EXE duplicate checking fixed (see HISTORY.DOC for more
information).
CAM-MAIL.EXE FOSSIL/OS2 support added.
01/01/94
--------
CAM-MAIL.EXE
------------
Added - File attachment support in REP packets. Please be aware that
your users must be using an offline reader that supports the
PCBoard style of File Attachments. The only ones that I know
of right now that support this are Camster <g> and RoboMail.
Added - File attachments are now added to a QWK packet.
Added - Use the /REPLACE@ codes command line switch if you want
your Bulletins and News and GoodBye files replaced with
the appropriate ANSI color codes or the @macro@ codes.
Because more and more readers are supporting @ codes, I've
made the default set not to replace @ codes. The Camster
Reader is one example that supports @ codes internally.
Added - A new command line switch has been added called /NOCHECK
If you have a LOT of conferences on your system, you'll find
that it might take a while for the "Initializing Door.." to
take place. What is happening is that the door is checking
for any public conferences that the user isn't registered in.
By adding this switch, the door won't check for public
conferences.
Added - A new command line switch has been added called /READ
What this means is that if a user downloads a QWK packet and
a message is addressed to them, then the READ flag in the
message is updated. Some Sysops like this, while others
don't. It's simply preference.
Added - A new command line switch has been added called /NETCONF
What this means is that if you are a HUB and you want to
limit the the conferences your NODES have access to (only
NetStatus Conferences), then add this command line switch
to your MAIL batch file.
This will also only create a CONTROL.DAT file according to
the conferences they have netstatus in.
Fixed - Opps... The door was sending file attachments *IF* a user
had the necessary security level AND there was a file
attached to any message (this includes messages that the user
didn't even have in their packet). Basically, the door was
sending file attachments when it wasn't suppose to <arg>.
Fixed - When uploading a REP packet, it was possible that the
door might end up doing WEIRD things when a message was
REJECTED. This was because I wasn't updating the number
of message blocks <arg>.
Fixed - In the new code that supported file attachments, I was
going out of my index array. This basically would carry
over into the next variable (which wasn't anything too
important, but one never knows what might happen).
Fixed - If you had around 8,000 conferences defined in PCBSetup,
the door would most likely give a out of memory error.
This should no longer happen. I've tested the current
code with 24,000 conferences and it worked just fine.
Although, PCBSM wouldn't work and locked up my machine
due to the increase number of conferences. Time to give
Clark Development a phone call <g>.
Fixed - The Mail door wasn't working properly with the "R" flag set
in a users account with USERSM.EXE. It would only work if a
user had NetStatus. It should work with or without
netstatus. It also would only with if the message had not
been read by the person to whom it was adddressed to.
Fixed - Hopefully the problem with the door not working properly
with time has been fixed. I was able to get the door to do
some weird things and finally spotted the potential problem.
If you were having problems with the door and timelimit,
please let me know if this fixed your problem.
Fixed - On the last release I forgot to mention that if a user was
using an internal protocol, and they simply didn't start
their transfer, the door would report the transfer was
successful (opps).. I fixed it in the last release, but
thought I had better mention it before I forget (it's been
bugging me for the last two days <arg>).
Fixed - The internal protocols didn't work with the Fossil version
when uploading a .REP/.PTR file.
Fixed - When someone was uploading a .REP/.PTR file using the
internal protocols, the door was closing a file twice and
freeing some memory twice (opps). This could cause anything
to happen. After I had uploaded around 6 .REP packets, it
locked up my machine <arg>..
PRESCAN.EXE
-----------
Fixed - If a user contained more than Two seperate names (meaning
something like JON DE BUCK), prescan wouldn't work
properly with PCBoard.
NETSM.EXE
---------
Added - You can now define in each conference whether PRIVATE
MAIL should be echoed. The default is NO.
IMPORT/EXPORT.EXE(S)
--------------------
Modified - The program will now work with Private Mail. I also
changed the program so GROUP/SENDER Passwords would not
be echoed. Also, COMMENTS to the Sysop cannot be echoed
as well.
Modified - The tosser of Cam-Mail has undergone some BIG changes.
Basically, the tosser will not import messages unless you
have NETSTATUS.
Also, when checking for Duplicate messages, the old
version of the software created a file called CRC.DAT.
The program now creates a file called bbsid.CRC (where
bbsid represents the name of the QWK packet(s) that you
are inserting). This will allow for the program to keep
smaller CRC files for each network and will make sure
that messages are being imported from each network. Some
people post the same message in several networks.
Although the chances of a message not being imported
between different networks is very unlikely, this is
definately the better way to go.
To tosser also now puts the version number on the tagline
to avoid any problems with networks that want a version
number on the tagline.
