- ---
- Charon 4.0 for Novell is now available via anonymous FTP (various sites),
- archive-server (email) and modem (BBS).
-
- Detailed instructions are included at the end of this document.
-
- This version is shipped in a .ZIP format, which MUST be unzipped with
- the -d option.
- ---
- Version 4.0 (we're you expecting 3.5 perhaps?) adds LPR and LPD support
- to version 3.4's SMTP capability. It is also able to transfer print
- files between Novell queues on the same server, or between servers.
-
- Print files can be translated using USER developed loadable translators
- (samples are included).
-
- This version supports Pmail's new delivery confirmation setting (can also
- be turned off).
-
- This version does a pretty good job reconnecting to downed servers
- (except for the master server).
-
- Due to the substantial increase in code, this version is now compiled to
- use Borland's VROOM technology for code paging. This means that expanded
- or extended memory is preferred, but not required. This version has been
- tested on lowly XT's and it still works (albeit, slowly).
-
- A PostScript (tm) and WordPerfect (tm) version of the 75 page manual is
- included in the distribution. Read the manual carefully to see what has
- changed during the upgrade process.
- ----
- This version has gone through a whopping 16 beta releases. (a sign of
- poor programming to be sure, and an aborted attempt to use RT-Link (tm)).
-
- In any case, I wish to personally thank all of the beta testers who
- participated in the development of this release.
- (Names withheld to protect the innocent).
- ----
- In an effort to justify this work (if such a thing is possible), a
- registration form has been included in this release. The objective of
- the form is to find out how many sites (and of what type) are using Charon.
- There is absolutely no obligation to complete and return the form, and of
- course this software is still totally FREE to use.
-
- I ask that this form be filled out and email'd to the address on the form,
- thats all. You won't receive a response either. Don't bother to use postal
- mail or fax, its not worth it. After a reasonable period of time I'll post
- some statistics, if anyone is interested.
