Telegard Bulletin Board Software, v3.10
3.09 Gamma 1 Supplemental-2 Documentation
Copyright (C) 1995,1997 by Tim Strike
All Rights Reserved.
INTRODUCTION
Well it was inevitable that after a year and several months that we
missed something in our first big release since 3.02. This is the
second supplemental package for Telegard 3.09.g1 (this package is
for Telegard 3.09.g1, and replaces the tg309s1.zip archive--the
contents of which are duplicated in this supplemental package).
That said . . .
SUPPLEMENTAL 2 NOTES
1) Menu command RB does not actually exist (never did); the features
of the old 'B' command (skip messages in area) were added to the RQ
menu command. RQ without parameters quits the scan of the current
area, but continues the scan (if necessary) of the other areas. RQ
with the parameter 'S' will quit all scanning.
2) FILETAGP.MNU menu command option 'E' should have been S255XL or
XF enabled. The included menu has these features, please replace
the FILETAGP.MNU from the original archive (i.e. install this one).
3) The WHATSNEW.310 file was updated to reflect changes made to the
validation system. The level upgrade and downgrade notices can be
found in SystemConfig.ValidationLevelConfiguration.
Please update your files as appropriate:
WHATSNEW.310 replaces WHATSNEW.310
MAKELANG.EXE (v2.01) replaces /bbs/MAKELANG.EXE (v2.00)
MENUS.DAT replaces /bbs/data/MENUS.DAT
MENUS.REF replaces /bbs/notes/MENUS.REF
FILETAGP.MNU replaces /bbs/menus/FILETAGP.MNU
(and any other menu directories you have)
If you didn't install supplemental 1, then please read the following
and pay special attention to item #4.
SUPPLEMENTAL 1 NOTES
1) I worked all morning on the new version of MAKELANG (with the -M
merge feature) for the 3.09.g1 release, and it never got packaged by
the automated packaging utilities.
2) In addition, the menu command OT was somehow removed from the
MENUS.DAT (and subsequently not listed in the generated MENUS.REF
file either).
3) The WHATSNEW.310 file was updated slightly. INDEX RESIZE has
definitely been completed, and any mention of incompleteness was
from earlier beta versions.
4) Of particular note, when uploading files via the /U feature, you
must answer YES to the "Test locally" (it should not actually run
the test, but if you don't answer yes it will truncate the
description). This was debug code never intended for G1 but for G2.
You can patch this code so that it automatically says YES
so that you don't have to remember. To do this, copy
HITENTER.SCR into your /bbs/text directory, and then update
language id 831 to read:
0831 $hitenter* `0CCheck local uploads (must be YES for 3.09.g1)? [~&Y]: `0B
And recompile your languages using MAKELANG. When this prompt
is sent, ENTER should force an answer of YES to the above
question. (NOTE: The MCI code ~&Y will show up; ignore it)
IN CLOSING . . .
We apologize for any problems these missing/incomplete files have
caused.
