- Update Log to View programs:
- ============================
-
-
- 23 May 91 Configr: MailOut filename, Save Filename will have the novell mail
- directory filled in if blank.
- Pconfig: Fixed bug that caused it to die if in 50 line mode.
- Postman: Fixed bug that caused it to fail if <SPACES> were
- contained in the VIEW.MBX file.
- VIEW: You can now have a default configuration for the lan. Copy a
- sample MAILER.CFG to \VIEW\DEFAULT.CFG. New users of the LAN
- Mailer will have their initial setup copied from
- \VIEW\DEFAULT.CFG.
-
- 16 May 91 View: Lan version: Auto-Mailbox updating is disabled while
- you are composing messages. This resolved a problem that
- caused the screen to look 'messed-up' if things started to
- happen while you were doing other things.
-
- The '?' now displays how many copies of the Mailer are being
- used on the network.
-
- 7 May 91 Postman/View: Fixed a problem that occurred if the Novell userid was
- greater than 8 characters. Postman now reads
- \VIEW\ALIAS file to convert 8 character name into
- longer novell name (IE: supervis supervisor)
-
- 3 May 91 Postman: Fixed a problem that stopped postman from using userids with
- no fullname specified in the SYSCON.
-
- 12 March 91 View: Fixed a problem with screen updating when a novell broadcast came
- in while new mail was arriving. Increased mailbox size
- from 175 messages to 300 messages (only the oldest 300 are
- shown, newer messages are not lost of course)
-
- 10 March 91 Add-on: The MAILER.CFG variable is checked and used.
- VIEW: Auto-update bug fixed; when mailbox is empty.
-
-
- 5 March 91 VIEW/POSTMAN: Lan Version: Semaphores are used to lock files.
- This change stopped difficulties with view & postman
- both trying to lock files at the same time.
-
- VIEW: All $$MAIL$$.TMP files have been changed to userid.TMP
- This allows more than one copy of the stand-alone view to
- run on a shared volume. In the past, each copy would
- clobber the .TMP files of another copy.
-
- 19 Feb 91 BROADCAST: A new program. Allows people to have a list of users in
- a file, and send a message to each user in this file.
- The difference is that each user only sees themselves in
- the header. This is important when you are sending mail
- to huge user lists. At this time, broadcast is LAN
- version only.
-
- 19 Feb 91 VIEW/CONFIGR: New environment variable.
- SET MAILER.CFG=C:\SPOOL\MYNAME.CFG
- allows you to specify the full dos filename of an
- alternate configuration. This allows you to have
- different batch files, call in different configurations.
-
- 19 Feb 91 POSTMAN: Changed the way some functions were be called. The result
- should cause POSTMAN not to 'hit' to servers so hard
- during its 'search_and_deliver' runs.
-
-
- 07 Feb 91 POSTMAN/VIEW: Sorting out some file locking problems when system is
- under a heavy load. Trying some different approaches
- to make locking more reliable. This only affects
- multi-tasking environments.
-
-
- 30 Jan 91 Configr: Fixed bug that caused Check_Network: to be set to 'N'
- whenever you exited configur.exe
-
- 28 Jan 91 View: Help screens now handled by 'TextLink'. Help screens are now
- more interactive, and can be custom tailored for specific
- sites.
-
- 23 Jan 91 View: Printer status is now checked and an error screen displayed.
- View used to crash and drop to DOS if printer was not online.
-
-
- 07 Jan 91 VIEW: Fixed error on how Message-ID: was constructed if using the
- gateway option.
-
- Mailbook: Read the printer definition from the mailer.cfg(if it exists)
-
- 02 Jan 91 VIEW: Fixed bug when creating mail messages. Sometimes the message
- was considered as part of the header
- (sent mail to the wrong place!)
-
- A "Blank" line is inserted after the header.
-
- F4: was changed from 'read msg' to 'print msg' because
- everyone used <CR> to read the message anyways.
-
- Configr: Changed some spellings to Canadian. Color => Colour
- Favorite => Favourite
-
-
- 28 Nov 90 Check: Fixed bug that caused CHECK to report NO MAIL if executed
- from system login script.
-
- VIEW&CONFIGR: You can turn on/off network broadcast message
- trapping. Trapping causing a window to appear
- instead of the single line at the bottom.
-
- 9 Nov 90 Postman/View: Changed some locking routines.
-
-
- 7 Nov 90 Postman: Changed some network functions. Postman scans much
- faster with the new calls. Also added some error
- trapping.
-
- 30 Oct 90 Postman: Fixed bug that sometimes caused new mail notification not
- to be sent to the user.
-
- VIEW&CHECK: date/time is pulled from the file server and the
- workstation clock is updated.
-
- VIEW&CONFIGR: You can specify a default path/filename for ALT-S.
- You can specify PageEject with ALT-P.
- You can specify that the screen should be
- automatically updated when new mail arrives.
-
- VIEW (LAN): Novell broadcast messages are trapped and displayed.
- The last 5 messages are displayed instead of the little line at the
- bottom. The workstation continues to function instead of freezing
- due to the novell (CTRL-ENTER to CONTINUE)
-
- 28 Oct 90 CONFIG: Realname is grabbed from the novell syscon.
-
- VIEW: When sending email with the lan version, the realname is
- obtained from the syscon.
-
- 01 Oct 90 CONFIGR: Fixed problem of KeepFile being set to 'NO' whenever you
- exit CONFIGR.
-
-
- 28 Sep 90 VIEW: Verifies that there is at least one blank line after the
- header. Some mailers/gateways will bomb if the header is
- not separated from the message text.
-
-
- 27 Sep 90 VIEW: Fixed problem of .LCK files remaining after all messages are
- erased. Fixed problem of FROM: field in header if Realname
- is not filled in. View used to leave "" in the FROM: field.
-
- 26 Sep 90 POSTMAN: new mail notification is time stamped.
-
- VIEW: Fixed bug in parsing Reply-To: field when replying to
- messages. View properly positions the cursor when composing new
- messages if you use QE.EXE or EMACS.EXE as the editor. Fixed bug
- that caused 'keep outmail?' to be turned off. Lines containing
- equals signs '===========' are not removed except if they are in
- the message header. View can now run batch files as viewer/editor.
-
- 31 Aug 90 POSTMAN: Users of View can turn off 'notification' of new mail.
-
- VIEW: Add-On manager can now load batch files, not just executables.
-
-
- 30 Aug 90 VIEW: Fixed bug that would cause leading zeros to be chopped off in
- the time field of the header ie: 12:8:1pm instead of 12:08:01pm
-
- POSTMAN: Fixed bug that could cause messages to be lost from the
- Internet if more than one came in at a time.
-
-
- 29 Aug 90 VIEW: Added locking/unlocking routines so that new mail can arrive
- while in mailbox. View releases the mail file when it is not using
- it, and checks to see if 'busy' before locking again.
-
- VIEW will now read \view\alias This will allow master user
- lists to be created. (lan version)
-
- VIEW: The "/" key or the right mouse button will display a menu
- on-screen. The menu displays misc functions.
-
- The file I/O routines have been changed for faster access.
- Most files are read at least 3 times faster.
-
- ADD-ON: Fixed bug which caused add-on to hang the computer if
- called from the lan version of view.
-
- Most View programs will now try to auto-detect the video card to
- see if color is available. C> ProgramName /B overrides color
-
