HISTORY
02/26/94 - Released Version 2.3ß
- Added "/S" Command to QWKTALK.EXE which will run in the
SILENT MODE. This will also allow QWKTALK to be used as a
normal mail reader on machines without Sound Cards!
02/25/94 - Released Version 2.2ß <I'm Not EVEN going to say it!>
- Added Carbon Copy feature allowing entering and maintenance
of up to 20 different names and conferences. QWKTALK will
remember the selected names from packet to packet
- Added Bookmark Feature - No matter how many packets of the
same name you view, QWKTALK will remember the READ status
of every message in that particular packet.
- Improved the Memory Management & did another general clean up
to reduce size of the program and smooth it out a little
more
02/22/94 - Released Version 2.1ß <the final Beta?>
- Found that if you edited a reply and the edited message was
longer than the original, and you then entered a new message
or reply, QWKTALK would post the header in the improper
field, corrupting any further replies FIXED
- Added Reply Delete Feature NEW FEATURE
- IF two conferences both had a message with the same number,
AND you selected the later conference's message with that
number in the index mode, QWKTALK would mistake the first
occasion of that number as the message you wanted. <Wonder
why I didn't notice this earlier huh?> FIXED
- Found that in the non-auto mode, it would be necessary to hit
a key on returning from replying to get the next message. I
found this a bit confusing, so I made it so QWKTALK would not
wait for the key-stroke. FIXED
- Some general housekeeping, making the transition from one
screen to another smoother
- Added the ability to view file attachments from within the
message viewing mode NEW FEATURE
02/19/94 - Released version 1.3ß <Final Beta Release>
and ADDED the FOLLOWING:
- FULL FILE ATTACHMENT SUPPORT, INCLUDING Viewing, and Moving
to offline directory! NEW FEATURE

every reply or originated message NEW FEATURE
- Detailed Reply procedure that automatically adds initial quote
a message in any conference, even one not scanned in the packet!
- Full Capability to edit AND RE-EDIT all replies in REP packet
like NEW FEATURE
- Bulletin, News, Newfiles Listing and Welcome Files viewing
support. Allow viewing and re-viewing any of these files AND
translates color codes, creating a 100% accurate display.

NEW FEATURE
- Message Indexing with cursor key driven highlight bar which
enables you to choose any individual message from any
conference within the QWK packet NEW FEATURE
- Message Indexing Sort Feature, which enables you to sort the
packet in any possible combination <as above>, or select YOUR
mail which will index only mail to you and your alias, then allows
you to read messages individually, from any conference in the
packet in any order you wish NEW FEATURE
02/09/94 - Released version 1.3ß
- Added POP-UP talking Help menu NEW FEATURE
02/07/94 - Released version 1.2ß
- Removed *MORE* debugging code. Optimized code for maximum
speed.
- Refined voice dictionary routine, increasing speed of word
check.
- Optimized voice to permit faster reads <ignoring much of the
blank space between words and lines>
- Reduced memory consumption. QWKTALK has been successfully
test in as little as 438K of Conventional Memory.
- The results of the two above steps increased overall speed
of display/translation/read by over 200%!!!!
- Discovered that if the last line in a message was a <CR> and
happened to fall as the last line of QWKTALK's display +1, it
would appear on page 2, thus displaying a blank screen.
Initiated a test to delete any blank lines beyond the last
line of type. FIXED
- Added a few more words to the voice dictionary, and will
continue throughout this beta cycle.
02/01/94 - Removed a bit of the DEBUGGING CODE to speed up speech
recognition. Added explanation to docs regarding slower
operation during the beta cycle.
- Discovered the date of the QWK packet, on some packets, was
being picked up as "19" instead of "94". FIXED
01/31/94 - Released version 1.1ß
- Added Message Capture feature. Now by pressing "P" while
reading/hearing a message, the text will be captured in ASCII
text format to a file called "QWKTALK.CAP". NEW FEATURE
- Added Read History feature. Each message read will now have
an "*" before it in the Index Listing. NEW FEATURE
01/29/94 - Discovered that QWKTALK was pronouncing the word "Greater
Then" upon seeing ">" symbol *after* the first quote. This
problem had been addressed, but it seems that the routine
that filtered it out was omitted in the actual beta .EXE.
Well it's ok now <g> -FIXED
- Updated the DOCs to remind users that QWKTALK requires 500K
of CONVENTIONAL memory to run.
01/27/94 - Original Release date version 1.0ß
