- Update Log to View programs:
-
- ============================
-
-
-
- 10 June 92 View: Fixed problem of viewroot not working. (broken 5 may 92)
-
- LanView: Only 1 beep when new mail arrives and not the
-
- annoying 2 beeps.
-
-
-
- 05 May 92 View: Added /w command parameter to View. Use in Windowed
-
- environments (win3.1 os/2 etc) to relieve cpu overhead of
-
- on-screen clock. Also, the border is not draw. Most support
-
- programs have been changed to reflect this.
-
-
-
- Also, added INTERVAL parameter in config page 2 to set how often
-
- View scans the disk file for new mail. Older versions hit the hard
-
- drive once a second. This might be ok for stand-alone
-
- dos machines, but it is too heavy for windowed or networked
-
- machines.
-
-
-
- In-reply-to in subject lines have been changed to -> Re:
-
-
-
- View should be able to detect start of messages in pop3 format from
-
- nos.
-
-
-
- The status variable in mail messages has been changed to be 'more
-
- compatible' with other systems. Status: R
-
-
-
- New CHECK program to reflect the above change.
-
-
-
- 02 Jan 92 POSTMAN: Supports redirect function from View
-
- VIEW: Support redirect Alt-R and Telephone dialing Alt-T
-
- ** Most of the programs have been changed.
-
-
-
- 28 Nov 91 VIEW: The number of messages is displayed in upper left corner.
-
- TO: and SUBJECT: now scroll in their windows.
-
- network get_realname function improved.
-
-
-
- 2 July 91 POSTMAN: Changes were made to allow Netware 386 run smoothly.
-
-
-
- 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
-
-
-
-
-

-
- 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
-

-

-
-
-
- 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.
-
-

-
- 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.

-
- 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
-
-
