History list: VoiXEL - Amiga/ZyXEL1496
VoiXEL 1.01 - Amiga/ZyXEL1496 1994-02-06
* Bug which caused some extra delay when VoiXEL was setting the silence
time and level. (Record didn't start at once.)
* It is now possible to start the AREXX-scripts if VoiXEL is started
from Workbench.
* No problem with closing answer window (freegadgets) anymore.
* Slider values didn't update correct. Fixed
* Oops.. I forgot to include the files 'listdir' & 'showdir' for
VoiXELminiBBS. Here they are...
* Short files couldn't be played to AmigaSpeaker. Fixed.
* The date in the loglist is localized too now. I hope there won't be
any more problem with the date now.
* Some minor changes in the menus.
* Some minor changes in the ZyXEL-version detection.
* Record Conversation is always limited to 1000 seconds now.
* Extra Requester added. Showed if settings file is old.
User didn't get any information about this when starting VoiXEL.
* The Registrated version only works if you have the registration file
'VoiXEL:VoiXEL.key'. This file contains some information about who
owns the registrated version.
* The logfile is limited to 200 incoming calls (registrated version)
* Possibility to choose if an incoming file shorter than 'silence time'
+ 1 second will be added to the logglist. VoiXEL won't deliver
the call either (if selected).
* A new window is opened when converting a file (ADPCM<->IFF)
It's now possible to abort when converting a file.
* New option DIALTYPE added. (TONE or PULSE)
* Deliver number is limited to 20 digits.
* Some minor changes in GUI.
* Default Outgoing Message is 'VoiXEL:Answer.VXL'. The two stringgadgets
with filenames (main window & Answer window) are two different files.
The gadget in the main window (Play/Record File) is only a Workfile.
The gadget in Answer window (Outgoing message) is only the outgoing
message now...
VoiXEL 1.00 - Amiga/ZyXEL1496 1993-12-22
* I've been working on VoiXEL for a long time now without releasing
any new versions, but now it's time for V1.00. I will release a
demoversion with some limited version. To get a complete version
you'll have to register VoiXEL.
I can't type all what I've done the last 8 months, but I will
continue to write this history list during my development in the
future.
There seem to be one major bug for the moment. I free some memory
twice when I make FreeGadget in the Answer window. I will continue
searching for this bug.
Voixel V0.61 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-04-28
* Even one more bug.... It's not a good idea to change major things
in the source and just test it for one hour....
One problem was caused by a minor change in the settingsfile,
and I forgot to initiate some string pointers... :(
This has been a busy day... Three versions... I promise to
test VoiXEL much more before releasing new versions in the
future.
Voixel V0.60c -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-04-28
* I was stupid enough so I didn't delete my old settingsfile and
logfile after the compilation.... VoiXEL worked perfect with
my old settings file, but it couldn't read/save the new one...
Hope I didn't cause any damage for you.....
Voixel V0.60b -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-04-28
* Disk Read/Write Problem when VoiXEL was started from Workbench(sorry..)
Voixel V0.60 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-04-27
* Assign VoiXEL: is required.
* GUI added.
* AmigaDOS 2.xx is required. (for the GUI)
* A nice VoiXEL.info is included. (Thanks Ekki)
* Many bugs caused by a fast CPU is fixed.
* Fax receive when autoanswer is active.
* Possible to answer call after 4 or 2 signals
* Loglist for incoming messages. Date, Time, Fax/Voice, Length is logged.
* Settings file. All favorite settings are saved to a file.
* Enter Answermode at once after startup 'VoiXEL -a'
Voixel V0.58 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-03-26
* I found one more bug. :) I didn't wait for the response string
from ZyXEL, and this made the modem confused if you had a fast
machine. I hope this made everything better and I hope you could
record and play again.
* Some had problems with 'Modem is not a ZyXEL' again. I made a minor
change in this startup code.
* Some minor changes play routine. All ZyXEL owners could play CELP
files before... :) Now they can't.
* Does the ATLx change the volume in the internal speaker ? I haven't
noticed any difference, but some people say it do. I have added
this into the play function.
Voixel V0.57 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-03-23
* I found the bug in my new send-function for AT-commands.... :)
I didn't wait for answer "OK", "VCON", ... correct so I sent
a new command while receiving the last. This problem did only
affect accelerated Amiga's, and the ZyXEL didn't catch the
new AT-command.....
* Forgot to close play-file in some cases.. This is corrected.
* I've included all play-functions I've used since V0.52. I want you
to try the difference between XON/XOFF disabled and/or preparing
data while playing voice. Read everything about the -I and -B flag.
Record a ADPCM3 file (~60000 bytes) and play this file in
all combinations. I think A3000 owners will have many possible
settings to play the file without any noise, but A500/2000 will
have some problems. Please report your test-results and tell
how to set the flags on YOUR Amiga. Tell me which ZyXEL ROM
and computer you have and the combinations which works perfect
when you play ADPCM3 files.
This could take some time, but please do it so I could compare all
Amiga's and finally find one method which works on all. If you
have any more solutions you could send them to me and I will
look at it. All this is made because nobody else have made it
work yet, and I hope you could find one way which could be used
on all Amiga's. Thank you so long.... I'll continue with the GUI
again and hope it will be ready for the release if there isn't
any more serial problems.
Voixel V0.56 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-03-22
* For some reason V0.55 didn't work at all on some Amiga's.
It must be the new optimized send-function for AT-commands.
It wasn't funny to hear this problem when I didn't find all
source code..... I'm working on the GUI now, so I changed
the old source quiet much for some reason..... but finally
I could use the OLD source and I hope it works better...
* I changed the play function again... Now I use a manual XON/XOFF
protocol. I don't trust Amiga's own protocol any more...
* You'll get all DLE codes printed to window, also when you
play a voice file.
Voixel V0.55 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-03-21
* Finally I hope ZyXEL ROM V6.0 works. It didn't work in V0.54 :)
* Faster and safer send-function for AT commands. This will especially
make the phone answer quicker.
* Made a minor change in the Phone answer. I hope it will work
without any problems now.
* You can set the task priority with -A flag.
* You can now prove that the serial port isn't good enough (or
my ZyXEL 5.04a). You can change the play routine and do this:
- Select Play baudrate (try 38400 first)
- Set priority to a high value. It's not good to set it too high,
but you could try 50. (-A50)
- Load voice file into buffer and prepare it for sending. (-I1)
- Set play block length to a size bigger than the file. (VoiXEL
won't allocate 1000000 bytes if you set -B1000000 and file
length < 1000000, so you could set it to a high value.)
- Send whole buffer in one block (DoIO(write,buff,whole length))
If this doesn't work on your Amiga, I can't help you anymore.
Somebody told me that it could be the vertical-blanking or
CIA, but I won't disable EVERY interrupts in the Amiga.
If I disabled all interrupts, I wouldn't been able to restore
them and exit the program to workbench.
Voixel V0.54 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-03-16
* ZyXEL ROM V6.0 now works.
* Version string added.
* Even more changes in serial read/write functions. The biggest
changes where in the 57.6kBaud transfer.
* You are now able to play ZyXEL voice files from other ZyXEL
voice programs.
* CELP and ADPCM3 should work now. You should know that ADPCM3
have to use 57.6kBaud transferrate during play ZyXEL voice
file. This could cause some problems with the 68000 CPU and
serial port. If the serial port drops ONE char when you use
ADPCM3 (perhaps CELP too) you will only hear noise.
* You could change some test parameters before you start VoiXEL if
you have problem with screech sound. (for more information read
VoiXEL.readme)
-P0 Play datarate -- Fast 57600 Baud (default)
-P1 Slow 38400 Baud
-R0 Record datarate -- Fast 57600 Baud
-R1 Slow 38400 Baud (default)
-Bxx Set Block length for Play (default 1024)
-Wxx Set Block length for Record (default 1024)
-S0 Save voice in whole blocks (default)
-S1 Save voice in small blocks
Voixel V0.53 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-03-06
* Device and Unit can be set with 'Voixel -Dserial.device -U0'
* Many users can run VoiXEL now. Some users, espacially A3000
users have problem with recording.
Now I've made VERY BIG changes in the serial read and write
routines. I think this should work on all Amiga:s.
* I got BETTER VOICE QUALITY after the big changes.
* Write function is optimized during record.
* I want some information about the CELP compression mode. I've got
many bug-reports and comments, but nobody has mentioned CELP ?
Could you tell me if this mode works...., please.
* I hope there will be a nice intuition userinterface to the real
VoiXEL version. A friend was going to look at it, and I hope
this version could run under AmigaDOS 1.3/2.0/3.0
* Somebody said to me that I probably had some problem with the handshaking.
I can't even play ADPCM3 files that was created on the PC... :-(
I've tried everything to get ADPCM3 to work, but no success.
You can set some new flags and change the play functions if you want
to check it out on other machines than my A2000. Just type 'VoiXEL ?'
Voixel V0.52 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-02-26
* Now I've made some changes in the record routine. I made a
buffer for incoming voice (size: 512 bytes) in earlier versions,
and then wrote toooo many bytes to this place. This could explain
all GURU's in the record mode.
* SDCMD_QUERY doesn't seem to work very well for my application.
This command is replaced with another solution.
* I have no problems at all on my computer anymore. Even the stop-
command to the modem is good now. I've never had problem with
that in this version.
Voixel V0.51 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-02-24
* Some Amiga users had problem with the intialization of the modem.
Have made some minor changes and hope VoiXEL will recognize your
ZyXEL modem.
* Window didn't open for some users. Fixed.
* Terminal mode: A bug in console reading is fixed.
* Stop code to modem during record is safe now. For some reason
the stop command sometimes doesn't effect the recording. If
no EOF is received after stop-code, VoiXEL will send another
stop.
* New version of Reqtools.library is included (V2.1d).
Voixel V0.5 -- Voice Mail program for Amiga/ZyXEL 1993-02-22
This is the first test-version. Hope it will work on all other
Amiga Computers. I know there are some bugs, but I want to know
if it works for other users.
