===========================================================
O_QWKer - QWK Mail Door for Opus 1.7x
(C) 92,93,94 Bernardo Cardoso / Fausto Carvalho (2:361/1)
===========================================================
Version 1.1
31-Dec-93
What's New in the Manual
========================
The manual includes a description of the new CFG option KEEPTEMP, and
also some minor changes.
If your are upgrading from a previous version, please read UPGRADE.DOC
Enhancements and Fixes since version 1.0
========================================
- Added support to multiple domains. ADDRESS keyword in
message area definition is now honoured
- Origin line is now included by O_QWKer
Priority: 1 - ORIGIN file in message area path
2 - ORIGIN keyword in message area definition
3 - Default Origin in BBS.CTL (system name)
- Added KEEPTEMP configuration keyword to avoid deletion
of temporary files after message scan (very useful for
debugging purposes). By default, temporary files are
erased (change from 1.0G)
- Fixed problem on the handling of ADD, DROP e RESET
commands sent via .REP packet
- If a file (Welcome, Goodbye, Newfiles, etc.) does not
exist, the occurrence is logged but the .QWK packet
creation is not aborted anymore
- Messages are (finally) correctly ordered in MESSAGE.DAT
- Message #1 in non-echomail areas is now scanned
- Fixed a problem with Upload Privilege and Key that might
allow the user to upload messages to a restricted area
- Restricted areas (by Upload Privilege and/or Upload Key)
are now shown as being R/O
- Several enhancements in the user interface, particularly
in the .REP Upload process
- Careful code revision spotted some hidden features
- Users may upload messages using their alias names
- Some re-work on the stack handling aiming to stop the
annoying Error 99
- .PRM extension is now assumed if none present, when
using environment variable OPUS
- ASCII date of uploaded messages is now set by FSC0001,
to avoid problems with some echomail processors like
Squish (leading zero instead of leading space)
- February abbreviation is now correctly spelled (Feb
instead of Fev)
- Embedded "Enter to continue" suppressed after .QWK
packet download
- Solved occurrence of nulls on message headers, to
conform entirely with QWK format specification
- Fossil is now re initialized after shell to external
protocol engine (both for U/L and D/L)
- Fixed some incompatibilities with Blue Wave generated
QWK REP packets
- O_QWKer now refuses to run if files with extension .BAT,
.COM or .EXE are found in temporary directory (defined
with TEMPDIR)
- Generation of .NDX files for areas beyond 999 is now
correctly handled, according to commonly used QWK
kludge. Please note that some offline readers are not
capable of handling such areas
- Available time (inside door) now considers the time spent
on external programs (protocol engine and compressor)
- Control-C now allows to abort the message scanning
process
- Fixed problem with some messages containing lines with
more than 255 characters and no fixed or hanging carriage
return
- Fixed problem within OColor module in messages containing
[ or ]
- Message scanning speed enhanced
