- THOR -
Release 2.1
Copyright (C) 1993-1995 Ultima Thule Software,
All Rights Reserved.
THOR 2.1 is an advanced multi-format offline reader, supporting the
QWK, Fido, UUCP, SOUP, Bluewave, Omen, ABBS, MBBS and Hippo (BBBS)
message formats. It will also handle TCP-connections with NNTP, SMTP
and POP3.
Changes from 2.01 to 2.1:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Recursive multipart MIME message and binary support.
- MIME binary part messages can now be viewed inline (only pictures,
OS 3.x required), viewed with Multiview (pictures + anims, OS 3.x
required) or saved.
- New sort/group mode added: Subject+Thread. Will group the threads
by subject in the "TIN-way". When a thread is selected, the thread
will expand to include all messages in the msglist window. When some
other thread is selected, the expanded thread will be folded again.
- Return-Receipt and Encode 8-bit (quoted-printable on MIME) can
be used when writing messages if the system type supports it.
- The numeric keyboard can be used for navigation in most windows.
- Multiselection on join conference.
- Multiselection in the message list window implemented. By multiselecting
messages, you can print, save, mark them with
unread/keep/superunread/delete flags and do various things from ARexx
with the selected messages.
- Window picture will be used in progressbars
- The list of users in the user database window has been expanded to
include more information.
- ALL replies on a news/mail kind of system will be a reply event with
a correct reference header, if the type supports it.
- Getting news with the TCP tools will let you define the number of
sockets to use. Using more than one socket will speed up collection
of news with 30-80%.
Highlights in THOR 2.1:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Flexible message database system with true history, message marking,
searching and threading.
- Copyback and write-through file buffering system.
- Internal editor with ARexx and macro recording support.
- Extensive ARexx support with the main THOR ARexx port, the bbsread
command host library and the FSE internal editor (a total of 123
commands). The bbsread command host library can be used to access all
databases without THOR running. Many useful and powerful ARexx
scripts are included.
- All events (messages you write, etc.) can be edited freely after
having been entered.
- Advanced purging system with Global settings for days and/or number
of messages to keep. Each conference can also have separate settings.
- User name database with a fast look-up table of names and editor.
- File database.
- Kill/Emphasize database with advanced support for all message fields
and several "haze"-levels. Wildcards are fully supported.
- Locale support.
- Support for 15 international character sets.
- Supports new 3.0 features (newlook menus, memory pools, interleaved
screens, 24 bit palette, screen and window pictures, inline pictures,
....)
- Font sensitive and Style Guide compliant user interface with a
listview that support true ANSI colors, multi- and dragselection of
entries.
- Advanced and flexible forward string, tagfile and signature system.
- It is possible to edit data, edit text, freeze and activate events.
- All search functions can take standard AmigaDOS wildcards.
- Optional reflow of message text imported into the editor.
- Extensive support for MIME on news and mail
- Progressbar on time-consuming operations.
- Extensive documentation (450K+).
+ a lot more..
