- Opus.Exe 1.71 Update:
-
-
- What's Fixed:
-
- Fixed the error message in updating the quote pointer if COMMON
- is on.
-
- Fixed the bug in looking up which table to use for character
- translations.
-
- Fixed a serious bug in the hidden password routine.
-
- Fixed CAYENNE.EXE to not put in the ECHOTOSS path if there is no
- ECHOTOSS file when converting from Opus 1.1x.
-
- Worked on the ASCII menu stuff. Opus will re-display the ASCII
- menu after a menu error.
-
-
- Opus 1.71 and 7E1 Connects:
-
- In all the work on getting the non-American character stuff to
- work I introduced a rather subtle problem, "old" systems that can
- only use 7E1 connects don't work.
-
- If the user turns off IBM characters everything is OK, but they
- have to get to where they can turn off IBM characters.
-
- So the only real change to the PRM file here is the addition of
- the line:
-
- LOGON HIGH CHARACTERS
-
- This will allow users to call in with high-bit characters, but
- 7E1 connects won't work properly. If you're in Europe where
- people have high-bit characters in their names you may want to
- turn this ON. In the US, leave it off, (the default is off).
-
- The NOHIGH flag in the language section will also allow high-bit
- characters in the user name but it has a number of other affects.
- Consider that LOGON HIGH CHARACTERS is a compromise.
-
- I also added a new user logon flag, "/i[n]" to handle the IBM
- character switch at logon. For users who have 7E1 terminals,
- they should add the "/in" to their name at the logon program to
- flip off IBM characters when they logon.
-
- /I Use IBM characters.
- /IN Do NOT use IBM characters.
