- Update from V1.06 to V1.07
-
-
- Updated areafix a bit, still thinking about some advanced
- features. Like rescan and request from boss .. but I need
- a little more info about that.
-
- Updated the GUI code a bit and some GUI tools, still working
- on some advanced options but had a little problem with
- selecting items. With editing files you want to select
- 1 file, with moving you want to select more.
-
- Updated RIPscrip a bit, the V1.54 screens seem to be
- about rigth now. Altough screen fills sometimes seem
- not to be quit rigth. And after a few hunderd screens
- sometimes the system seams to freak a bit.
-
-
-
-
- Utils: BBS, TrionTick, AreaFix, FileEd, UserEd, Tbulkupload, TAF
- Doors:
- Cfg:
-
-
-
- -Changed TrionTick so the Description of files is also
- in the netmail TrionTick sends, with wordwrap and
- alignment.
- Also changed the size indication a little bit in netmail.
-
- -Changed Areafix..
- Added options to change the compression methode and mail/session
- passwords in the systems.cfg
-
- %COMPRESSION=arc Change compression methode (LHA, LZX, ARJ).
- %ECHOPASSWORD=pass Change echomail and session password.
-
- Added an option to change the Tick password.
-
- %FILEPASSWORD=pass Change file password.
-
- Added an option to change the Areafix password.
-
- %PASSWORD=pass Change Areafix password.
-
- Now would be a good time to make a backup of your systems.cfg,
- FileNodes.cfg and Areafix.cfg
-
- %COMPRESSION, %ECHOPASSWORD and %FILEPASSWORD are smart(ish)
- if there was no entry in the configs for the node one will
- be added.
-
- Note that you should NOT end node lines in the systems.cfg with comments
- because if something in that line is changed the comment is gone.
- Also the line would change in length.
- (this note is valid for all cfgs that are changed by programs)
-
- So don't use comments like this:
-
- 350:1001/0 LHA XXXXXX ;My boss
-
- If you want to use comments do it on separate line like this:
-
- ;===( Node #1, User so and so )===
-
- 350:1002/100.2 LHA XXXX
- 350:1002/2 LHA XXXX
- 350:1002/200 LHA XXXX
-
- ;===( Node #2, Yet another user )===
-
- 14:103/300.3 LHA XXXXXX
- 39:155/300.3 LHA XXXXXX
- 350:1002/100.3 LHA XXXXXX
- 55:1100/1111.3 LHA XXXXXX
- 210:1010/300.3 LHA XXXXXX
- 606:3150/101.3 LHA XXXXXX
-
- ;===( My big boss )=== Fido, Trion, AMY, NLA, AGA, F1
-
- 2:283/326 LHA XXXXXX
- 350:1001/0 LHA XXXXXX
- 350:1001/1 LHA XXXXXX
- 350:1001/100 LHA XXXXXX
- 39:155/0 LHA XXXXXX
- 39:155/100 LHA XXXXXX
- 14:103/0 LHA XXXXXX
- 14:103/1 LHA XXXXXX
- 14:103/100 LHA XXXXXX
- 171:109/0 LHA XXXXXX
- 171:109/1 LHA XXXXXX
- 171:109/100 LHA XXXXXX
- 606:3150/0 LHA XXXXXX
- 606:3150/1 LHA XXXXXX
- 606:3150/100 LHA XXXXXX
-
-
- -Added a short and long list mode to areafix.
- The description of a section now can be 79 characters which
- can scramble the whole list.
- Also newsgroup names can be very long.
-
- The short list is like the list in the previous version.
-
- TagName "Description" Connected
- TagName "Description" Connected
-
- The long list puts the description on a separate line
-
- Area: TagName Connected
- Desc: "Description of this echomail message section."
-
- Area: TagName Connected
- Desc: "Description of this echomail message section."
-
-
- Default the program will startup in shortlist mode, unless it
- was started with the -L flag, then is will produce long lists.
-
- But this can be overruled with commands in the fix messages.
-
- %SHORT Switch to short list mode.
- %LONG Switch to long list mode.
-
-
-
- -Changed the bulkupload so it also can upload in one section
- instead of all sections .. which will be much quicker if you
- only added files to one or a few sections.
-
- Note that if you still have a "TBU" in your trion:utils/
- directory you better remove it because it will not work
- with V1.06 or higher. (Unless you renamed your V1.06 or V1.07
- Tbulkupload tp "TBU").
-
- -Changed Allfiles so it will only print allfiles and
- newfiles lists with files in them.
- So no more entries with 0 bytes, 0 files.
- Changed allfiles so 1 file will be printed as "one file" instead
- of "1 files".
- Changed the code that makes the size string to something
- that is used in the BBS.
- The total byte count is now also given in K's of Megs.
-
-
- -Changed the E-mail option of the last version a little.
- It will ask the E-mail address earlier now .. before you
- fill in the node number. If you don't give an E-mail
- address the BBS thinks you don't want to send E-mail
- and it doesn't fill in a gate address. So you can
- still use the section for normal netmail.
-
-
-
- -Rewritten the GUI code for lists and scrollers.
- The old list code was static, at the opening of a window
- was defined how many lines there were in a list.
- (And a block of memory for all lines was Allocated)
- The new version is dynamic, at the opening of a window
- the list is empty and can be filled with lines, then
- be emptied and filled again. Also during the filling
- the scroller can shrink like in editors like CED,
- but that shouldn't be needed because most data is
- available inmmediatly and presenting it that way
- would slow things down.
- Also the new list code has more options for selecting
- items from lists. Single or Multiple items can be
- selected, which is made possible by using a linked
- list of items in memory with selection data for
- each item. Also with the single select you can have
- items to light up only when the mouse button is down
- or the whole time after the button is released.
- Now you can only click on lines which contain data.
-
-
- -Updated the User Editor to the new GUI code.
- Now when you change the wildcard the size of the
- list is changed, the size of the scroller is changed,
- the list is back at the start point.
- When you click in the user list, the entry stays
- selected (hi lighted) even if you scroll.
- You can't click anymore in the questionair list.
-
-
- -Updated the File Editor with new GUI code.
- Now when you change the wildcard the size of the
- list is changed, the size of the scroller is changed,
- the list is back at the start point.
- When editing a description the scroller indicated the
- right number of lines.
- When you click in the file list, the entry stays
- selected (hi lighted) even if you scroll.
-
-
- -Added a "back" button to the FileEditor.
-
-
-
-
-
- -Found a little bug in the RIP code, when the BBS was iconized
- and RIP was used by a user the initialisation set the colors
- of the screen .. because the screen was not open this
- could cause problems.
-
- -Changed de RIP code that draws ellipses that arent supported
- by the OS.
- Changed the rounding of variables so the shape is beter, and
- they have the correct size. Changed it so the last line is
- drawn to the starting point.
-
- -In the last version if you had multiple points in the name
- of a RIP file you had to press return a lot of times because
- it was interpreted as an ANSI file even if it had a RIP
- extension because it looked after the first point if
- there was a RIP extension. The difference is that
- with RIP screens there isn't the question to press
- return after a screen full of lines was printed.
-
- -Changed the RIP Flood fill code a little, the RIP screen
- is supposed to be 640x350 pixels, but the Amiga (interlace)
- screens are bigger so flood fills can gice problems when lines
- stop at Y position 350 .. so it now will draw a horizontal
- line of <border> color at position 351 before doing the
- flood fill.
- Also calcullated the size of the buffer plane different in case
- you screen size isn't a multiple of 8.
-
- -There was a little bug in the code to load RIP icons, one
- plane was ignored so the colors weren't correct all the time.
-
- -Changed some filled ellipse and filled polygon functions to
- use some functions of the OS to get better results.
-
- -Changed the system how RIP lines that are longer then 80
- characters (or chained by slash characters) are interpreted.
- Because in some screens a lot of lines are chained, so now
- a buffer of 1KB is used.
