- ================================= 03/05/92 ================================
- MSGTOSS 2.0b fixes the following problems in MSGTOSS 2.0 (and 2.0a)
-
- Due to a screw-up in distributing the MSGTOSS 2.0a Update file (two
- versions were released, one where ORGN: didn't work (at all), I'm
- releasing 2.0b, which includes fixes originally in 2.0a.
-
-
- 1) Bug fix in the /GLOB: switch, where [AREA] wasn't being properly
- replaced.
-
- 2) Bug fix with the CAPT:1 keyword, where MSGTOSS wasn't tossing the
- captured messages into the MSGCAPTURE directories.
-
- 3) Added an updated MSGTOSS.CFG file, which fixes a few typos.
-
- 4) ORGN:xxx keywords that contained either COMMAS or DOUBLE-QUOTES caused
- 2.0 to lock-up either during a purge (/TOSS/PREP, /SIZE or /SCAN)
- for the affected conference.
-
- NOTE: With one version of 2.0a, ORGN: didn't work at all <sorry>.
-
- 5) Added the Quickbasic "Press any key to continue" patch to the MSGTOSS
- compiled code, as outlined in appendix G of the RBBS docs. This will
- eliminate un-necessary lock-ups.
-
- 6) Bug discovered (after 2 years!) where MSGTOSS would report the wrong
- number of bytes free if the drive was one of those "big partition"
- drives (160 megs+). This mis-interpretation of the number of free
- bytes may cause MSGTOSS to fail during a /SIZE operation.
-
- Many thanks to Richard Todd (1:3612/299 & 8:925/299) for providing
- assistance (and code example!) to stomp this bug.
-
- 7) Changed (slightly) the MSGTOSS.LOG format for *.PKTS...
-
- New format:
-
- 19832D89.PKT To:65:509/1@ournet Fm:1:511/220@fidonet 7F MsgToss 2.0
- 19832D89.PKT Tot: 14 Dup: 0 Skip: 0 Bytes: 19103
-
- The first entry used to contain "Bytes:19103 Msgs:14", flowing off
- of the screen. This was moved to the second "Tossed" line.
-
- NOTE: I believe a log analyzer is being written for MSGTOSS 2.0. A
- change like this is very slight, but I wanted to make it known
- for prospective authors.
