- MKQwk Offline Mail Door
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- Installing the New Version
-
- Copy the new *.EXE files to a directory on your path.
-
- If you are upgrading from v1.00 you will also need to do
- the following:
-
- You will need to copy the *.A* and *.HLP files to your Bbs
- textfiles directory. Menu options have been added so you
- will need to replace your old copies of these. Otherwise
- just copy the *.EXE files to a directory on your path, no
- conversion is needed to update to v1.02.

- no Handle support to minimize compatibility issues
- with other Quick-clones)

- Now keeps reader tearlines in non-echo message areas
- Added a "Press Enter" message after many important messages

- Fixed archive packer menu to use O for Zoo since

- Move duplicate checking to the last check on each
- message, so that messages rejected for not
- having write-access can be sent in a later
- run after the caller is upgraded
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- v1.00 07/06/91
-
- Initial Release (sorry about the problems in this
- release, shouldn't have made some last minute
- changes in some things)
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Open Suggestions for future versions currently are:
-
- QuickBbs and SuperBbs support (Super likely soon,
- Quickbbs when they release a normal version)
- (shame I can't test against Quick even since I
- am registered)
-
- Config option to support for File DL request messages
- (longer term - ratio support for all of Quick
- RA and Super may be a problem)
-
- Config Option to keep aborted DL's for a 2nd
- chance (likely soon)
-
- Config Local/Batch UL and DL paths (since not a
- problem in true batch mode will likely wait
- until other config changes requiring a convert
- program are needed)
