About this patch…

THIS PATCH IS UNSUPPORTED!!!!!

This patch ONLY patches the English version of v1.2.1.

This is merely an experimental hack written by Peter Li.

Purpose: To fix those crashes when quitting NetFinder in certain situations.

If the resultant patched application works better for you, please mail me (pli@ozemail.com.au) and tell me. If I am convinced my "hack" works we will add it properly to the next release.

NOTE: My hack involves adding code to Vincents part of the code. Since I am not 100% familiar with his side, things may not be done the way it should be. However, the app does not crash as much so I guess its one step forward. :)

For those that dare...
add a 'asyn' resource ID=0 to enable Asynchronous transfers. This is still experimental.
If the async stuff is still too slow, try the following which should make a noticable difference, however will HIGHLY POSSIBLY cause crashes or strange behaviour!

Add a 'asyn' resource ID=1 with the contents being 1 byte with value between 1 and say 16 (decimal), or 01 and 0F in Hex.

Other bits added/fixed in p2:
- added support for OS2 servers.
- added work around to make NF work with MachTen (Requires adding a resource ‘NoOT’, ID=128 to NF app.
- fixed a retry connection problem with WAR-FTPD.
- fixed a problem with FTPShare servers.

Have fun.
