Version 3.21 Improvements & bug fixed
=====================================
* SLIPCommander is now FAT, in MAB format for both NeXT Black hardware and Intel boxes. (not sure about whether it will still be compatible with SLIP/Intel or not! But worth a try anyway)
* Yes, you may send out NeXT-Mails off-line to save connection cost. SLIPCommander now automatically flushes the mail queue where your outgoing mails are stored while SLIP was inactive.
* A bug in BackUp Plan that caused incomplete Plain Directory backup has been fixed.
* Change the default button in the disconnecting alert panel to be <Disconnect> instead of <Cancel>.
* Added a <cmd-M> for GetMail short-key.
================= From About.rtfd ============================================
SLIPCommander.app is a NeXTStep Interface to the SLIP commands provided in the TransSys DialUpIP SLIP package by Louis A. Mamakos. Installation of the latest SLIP_v1.pkg version 920904 is highly recommended.
SLIPCommander simplifies the SLIP connection/disconnection process as well as 'rlogin' and retrieving mails from multiple remote sites. A set of very informative panel buttons are used to provide a NeXTStep looks & feels Interface. All the features are further enhanced by a built-in CRON that can be set to download mails and news while you are away from your NeXT. And the Backup Plan creates a Mirroring disk of your local NeXT on your SLIP connected remote account. Multiple sites mail retrieval and rlogin are no longer a hassle. Plus the TimeSync with remote host via your SLIP connection. If you use SLIP connection a lot, you will find SLIPCommander a very sexy companion along with your NeXT. So, don't SLIP out without SLIPCommander.
