WHAT'S NEW in Mail Manager v3.11 - August 25, 1993
==================================================
CHANGE IN SUPPORT STATUS
------------------------
Although this change was made with the PREVIOUS release (v3.10), it
is still recent enough that we should probably mention it here.
Personal commitments are forcing Chip Morrow to lessen his involvement
somewhat in the development of the Mail Manager projects, and to shut
down Mail Manager's home support bulletin board. The lion's share of
Mail Manager development is being carried forward by the other half of
the team, Doug Wilson, under the new banner of Makai Software. Both
Chip and Doug will continue to provide program support.
The following RBBS-PC boards are now the official Makai Software
Distribution Sites. First time callers may bypass new user
registration hassles and download Mail Manager, MNET, and other Makai
Software files by logging on with the username and password
combinations listed for each board:
Board: BRODMANN'S PLACE THE DOG HOUSE
Location: Waldorf, MD Kings Beach, CA
Sysop: Dave Brodmann Kip Gies
Phone: 301-843-5732 916-546-7002
Modem: HST/v.32bis v.32bis
Username: FREE GUEST MAILMGR LATEST
Password: USER VERSION
Net Address: Fido 1:109/806 RBBS 8:919/20
Rime ->BRODMANN
In addition, a local (to us) BBS that we check into on a near-daily
basis is:
THE MOTHER BOARD (WildCat!)
Buckeye Lake, OH
Michael Graham, Sysop
Data line: 614-928-2259
Modem: HST/v.32bis
Fido: 1:226/1400 (*NOT* reachable via Internet)
We check into all of these boards on a regular (but not necessarily
daily) basis, and will answer questions left on or netmailed to any
of them. The Mother Board, being a local call for us, gets the most
attention and is probably the place to get the fastest response.
Please leave messages as PUBLIC so that whichever of us calls first
will be able to see them. The sysops of the two Distribution Boards
are both experienced with Mail Manager, and may be able to handle some
of your questions without help from Chip or me.
Computer network conferences:
We also monitor the following computer network conferences. If you
don't have access to Fido netmail, these may be your best bet for
obtaining support in a timely fashion:
RIME: RBBS-PC and RBBSQWK
FIDO: RBBS-PC and OFFLINE
Chip Morrow is also available via Compuserve, Internet, and Prodigy,
if any of those are more convenient:
CIS: 72677,502
Prodigy: GVHM95A
Internet: 72677.502@compuserve.com
And then, if you're REALLY desperate, there's always the U.S. Mail:
Makai Software
870 Golden Drive
Newark, OH 43055
SO, WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
---------------------
MAIL MANAGER +PLUS+ v3.11 is an update to the version 3 series.
Changes since the release of v3.10:
1) Fixed bug which required pressing "Q" or <enter> multiple times
when attempting to exit message pointer setting screens under
some conditions.
2) Violation notice prints name of intended conference as well as
conference number.
3) No longer goes thru countdown timer before exiting from export
mode (/o command line option).
4) Updated MAILCFG.EXE, CFG2TXT.EXE, and TXT2CFG.EXE to implement
sysop configurable "show empty conferences" choice are included
this time (versions included with v3.10 failed to support this
option).
5) Updated to be 4D point aware for *.MSG netmail areas. Also
supports "fakenet" addressing. MAILCFG, CFG2TXT, and TXT2CFG
all updated accordingly.
6) When following the prompts and posting *.MSG netmail messages,
now accepts input for destination address ONLY in the following
format:
Zone:Net/Node[.Point]
All previous versions prompted you separately for Zone, Net,
and node. Crashmail addressed to a point is sent to that
system's host (.0). The host's software then takes care of
routing the message off to the individual point on his system.
Normal *.MSG netmail messages addressed to a point are handled
by your Fido scan/pack software in whatever way you have
configured it.
7) [F1] help added to MAILCFG conference edit screen.
8) Non-selected conferences not shown when choosing conference in
which to R)ead or P)ost.
9) Now shows zone in netmail conferences when reading netmail
*.MSG areas online within the door.
10) R)ead and P)ost options now only work with joined conferences.
11) New command line switch (/Snnnn) added to MAILFIX utility,
to allow sysops with modified versions of RBBS-PC to use
MAILFIX on messages bases that contain more than 999 msgs.
See the HISTORY.DOC file for the complete list of changes since the
v1.3x series.
