Ezycom Software Development Team
Presents
Ezycom V2.00
If you are installing V2.00 from scratch, extract
EZY200-1 & EZY200-2 into a temporary directoy and
then from that temporary directory, type INSTALL
and fill out the necessary information. After INSTALL
is completed add the EZY dir to your path statement,
reboot and then in the EZY dir type EZYCFG -N1
You can exit it right away and then type EZYIDX -BUILD
and then type EZY -L -N1 to view a local logon and
peruse the default BBS setup. Afterwards, read the
manual for further configuration installation and
customization instructions.
If you are installing in OS/2 or DOS then ensure
that you have a copy of arj.exe in your path or
in the same directory where install.exe is found.
Install will search for arj, arj32, unarj, in that
order and for DOS and OS/2 only arj will work.
The install routine has been tested using arj versions
2.41, 2,50, 2.60, 2.70 and 2.81a in Win98/98SE/XP,
Warp 4 & pure DOS

*******************************************************
Whats NEW in V2.00:
Problems fixed and Changes in 2.00
o EZY:
1. When tagging files for download, there is now no need to press
<ENTER> in between each file and the user is returned back to
the file list after the last file is processed.
2. User's file & message groups are now saved between logins. This
means for the sysop that (s)he can now set up a default file
and message group of favourite areas which will be already
available when (s)he logs in. Users will be able to 'join'
groups as defined by the sysop which will be their default
group until they change it. 0 still defaults to all groups.
o EZYCFG:
1. Config.exe & Config.ovr renamed to EzyCfg.exe & EzyCfg.ovr.
2. Changed the Message Areas Menu Option to Mail Areas.
3. Changed the Modem Menu Option to Comms.
4. Changed/added more help lines, corrected spelling etc.
5. Fixed a bug that caused EZYCFG to crash if 'S' was pressed in
FILE AREAS | FILE AREAS | UPLOAD PATH and the current value
was 0.
6. Split MANAGER | LIMITS into two (2) screens. 1st screen
configures Time/Kb Bank # of logons etc. 2nd screen configures
DailyKB/Baud rates. This was done to accomodate the extra BAUD
rates in COMMS | BAUD RATES.
7. When first entering the 'EVENTS' Option, you now have the
ability to EDIT the Start Time of the event. Any further up/dn
cursor movement disables it again, leaving just the 'Status',
'Errorlevel' & 'Days To Run' options to edit.
8. When 'inserting' a new limits record, 1 is now added to the
current level, ie, if you are currently at SecLevel 10 and you
press INSert, the next one created will be 11 instead of 5.
Future versions will also copy the current level's settings to
the new level, effectively giving you a 'COPY' feature.
o Ezymenu:
1. Menu option 88 now has a choice of B, E, N, Q. 'N' now allows
the user to reset their LRPs to any value between 0 & the max
messages for that area.
Features added to Ezycom V2.00 Release
o EZY:
1. Enabled local sysop Qwk/BW up/dnload paths as defined in
EzyCfg.
2. Enabled local sysop up/dnload paths as defined in EzyCfg.
3. Added "CTRL-F'" code to display a users QWK Compression choice.
4. Added support for 5 welcome screens.
5. Added support for date specific screens. DATE2512.A* will only
be displayed on 25th Dec of each year.
6. Added exit errorlevel 11 if a user drops carrier.
7. Added new ctrl-f code for users last name; (ctrl-f[).
8. Added 2 new Q-A commands:
DISPLAYASWNOCR & LISTANSWERNOCR which, as you can probably
tell, does NOT add a CR/LF to the display line.
9. Included a new Q-A file for displaying a user's email address
on your system which is the reason for the above additions.
Email addresses are displayed in the form of:
first.last@fxxx.nxxx.zx.fidonet.org
o EZYCFG:
