- ┌───────┬────────────────────────────┐
- │ 2.03 │ 'Minor' and bug release │
- └───────┴────────────────────────────┘
- Be prepared for a long list of bugs, changes and features. It took
- some time to create the new version so many user requests could be
- implemented (others are implemented in 2.10, the next release).
- The basic idea behind this release is to fix the real problems and
- to add some small gigs. A small line in this list can make your day
- (or it won't) !!!
-
- ■ Fixed the flag-support. It now works like the BBS. This should be
- a relief;
-
- ■ Fixed the CTRL-Z problem that caused the FILES.BBS to trash and
- make some editors go wild. Also the uploads will be logged in
- the FILES.BBS ok (and no trash);
-
- ■ Fixed the hangup in FileDoor that was caused when a user used the
- Bimodem <tm> protocol (registered or hacked) and added some files
- to download. It could result in hanging FileDoor, hanging multi-
- tasker, hanging machine or other strange things (I was trashing
- the PC's memory);
-
- ■ Fixed the problem in multi-line operations with the 'SYSTEM FILE
- (FILES.RA) NOT FOUND' error. I was sharing the file (thank you
- folks, I received as many 'It is sharing-code 64' messages as
- I got registrations) but forgot the sharing in one S.O.B. part
- of the program (a removed line);
-
- ■ Fixed the problem where users were removed from FileDoor for no
- reason with the CARRIER LOST or TIMEOUT/LOCKOUT message. This
- was caused because of a weak filer in the input;
-
- ■ Fixed the problem where users could enter control-codes in the
- input lines (same weak filer as above);
-
- ■ Fixed the problem where users would enter a file to upload twice
- (or more) in the pre-selection, sending them once, and FileDoor
- counting it twice (or more);
-
- ■ Fixed the problem with the RC=2 error when the protocols were in
- the current directory when FileDoor got control;
-
- ■ The input-buffer was not cleared so when the user pressed 'Y' or
- 'N' to hard, they got more ('Y') or less ('N') files than they
- wanted. Now the buffer is cleared before the next question;
-
- ■ With QuickMatch on, it was possible to enter *.* or ????????.???.
- This is now filtered as a wrong file-mask;
-
- ■ Changed the user's command-line. The '[CR] to start download' will
- only be presented when a file is selected (excluded is the infor-
- mation file, see later) or when Bimodem is used;
-
- ■ Added the DupePath option to allow the movement (and not delete)
- of duplicate files to a special directory;
-
- ■ Fixed a bug where FileDoor was counting IMb+ files as one tenth
- of their actual size;
-
- ■ Fixed a bug where FileDoor was not seeing duplicate files when
- the BBS was using ARJ for most files;
-
- ■ Reconfigured the logging (see documentation). It is important to
- take some time to add the new features OTHERWISE LOGGING WILL RE-
- SULT IN EMPTY LINES IN YOUR LOG !!!!!!!
-
- ■ Dupe files (upload) can now also be logged (see documentation);
-
- ■ Made the selection display somewhat smaller and added an option
- for the user to read extended information about a file. This will
- include the comment (up to 250 bytes, QFV/F/C +-commentline com-
- patible), the name of the area, the size, the date and the time;
-
- ■ Enhanced the Color option with some colors that could not be
- changed. Now they can;
-
- ■ Fixed 80% of the FOSSIL routines, causing less ticks to be snatched
- from your other task(s) (under multitasking);
-
- ■ Added a Debug option;
-
- ■ Added a HelpExitKeys option;
-
- ■ Added a NotAvailText option;
-
- ■ Added the ExitAfterDownload option to call an exit after the down-
- load;
-
- ■ Added information-file options. The user can now also download a
- file with comments of the (previously) selected or downloaded
- files EVEN with protocols that allow only 1 download at any time.
- If the user stays in FileDoor, the info-file is kept and can be
- downloaded UNLESS the user exits from FileDoor. Added the option
- DownloadInfo;
-
- ■ If the user selects <G>oodbye after transfer, FileDoor will now
- display the GOODBYE.A?? screen;
-
- ■ If the user tries to download outside the normal hours, FileDoor
- will display the DNLDHRS.A?? file;
-
- ■ If the HLP_???? file is not present, FileDoor will try to display
- XFERHELP.A?? (if present);
-
- ■ Fixed a bug where FileDoor could leave the temporary directory
- after a transfer. This is fixed;
-
- ■ Added some space to allow up to 255 protocols PER direction BUT
- remember that the screen will scroll and every protocol will take
- up to 172 bytes of memory;
-
- ■ Added ANSASC option to use different names for the menus and help-
- files;
-
- ■ Added explicit support for SBBS 1.11 and up (FLSEARCH.BBS);
