- =============================================================
- 4/4/94 * Release version 1.85
- =============================================================
- Here is the largest upgrade since AceComm's debut on May 15 of 1993.
-
- - Script processor has been re-worked, is capable of processing
- complex macro functions. A MINIHOST.SCR demonstrates much of the macro
- language. The macro language has now evolved to include intelligent
- decision making macros. See the CIS.SCR and MINIHOST.SCR for demos.
- - Some macro text has changed. This requires a completely new install from
- everyone.
- - DPRM.EXE was fixed. It had a bug where the data pointer was not being saved
- correctly. DPRM is the utility that backs up the PRM file to an ascii
- definition file.
-
- - Point mailer services have been either re-written or changed. The EMSI
- protocol has been re-written. Mailer services are capable of running in
- simple mailer front end mode.
- - The scheduler services allow a greater degree of control over a auto answer
- mode. The schedules now control the "Auto Answer Setup" services, which
- can only be accessed during a schedule which includes ",Host" attribute
- flag.
- - New Point mail support menus have been added for automated event driven
- mailer/host modes. AceComm can serve as a complete front end to any BBS.
- - FBL output ".NOD" files are no longer supported as Nodelist files. FBL will
- instead be re-written to support the creation of "mini" nodelist files.
- - "Boss Data" areas allow user created system definitions to be retained
- permanently in the ACE.PRM file.
-
- The hooks for running a BBS software are numerous, and capable of passing
- port rate %B, connect speed %C, port %P.
- - The Dialer sees some new "Phone Number Modifiers" menu.
- - Fon files can be printed to ascii text or PRN from inside the "Import" menu.
- - A new "CALL.LOG" does a 1 liner for each number called, with on line time
- down to the second.
-
- - The configurations area "PRM-data" has bee re-organized. Always an effort
- is made to group similar data into more intuitive surroundings.
- - Many little bug fixes, one larger one where the upload files selections could
- lock up if the user chose a particular sequence of events. This due to a
- menu not getting closed properly.
