- This is a beta release of Version 3 of MaxiFTP.
-
- Revison 153 really fixes the problem with automatic binary mode
- and allows the ASCIIs environment variable to be read properly.
-
- Also, hosts added with the ADDHOST command are now searched for
- abbreviated hostnames. For example, my example INI file adds
- a number of hosts including ftp-os2.cdrom.com. If you use this INI
- file, you can connect to ftp-os2.cdrom.com by maxiftp ftp-o EVEN IF
- YOU DON"T HAVE IT IN YOUR NETRC FILE.
-
- Reports of a bug when RxSock is not available have been reported -
- for now, use the /x- command line option if you choose to not load
- rxsock.
-
- Revisions after 148 should have the following problems fixed:
-
- help news should now work correctly,
- automatic binary mode is fixed.
- a new (undocumented) ASCIIS variable is available for automatic ASCII
- selection. ASCIIS can be an environement variable, like BINARIES or
- set with a SET ASCIIS=file extensions command.
-
- The MAXIFTP.INI file can be placed in the directory where MaxiFTP is stored
- to have default commands for each invocation of MaxiFTP.
-
- It should contain commands in the format they would be issued at the MaxiFTP
- prompt.
