- Remote Access Sendit from Renegade Software
- RASENDIT -- FILE TAG AND SEND
-
- UPGRADE / WHATS-NEW DOCUMENT
-
- as of: 17 Feb 1996
-
- NOTE FOR ALL USERS OF RAUSERS:
- ------------------------------
- RASENDIT keeps the files it needs to operate in the directory pointed
- to by your RA environment variable. If there is a particular part of
- RASendit not operating correctly and that option requires an external
- file then most likely the file needed is not in your RA directory.
- Examples are: RASendit.Key, RASendit.Cfg.
-
- RASendit V 1.06 upgrade information
- ----------------------------------
- - THIS VERSION NOW SUPPORTS RA 2.50.G1
- *** - For this you must specify the BBS type on the command line for
- *** CFGSEND.EXE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY.
- IE:
- READ ---> Cfgsend 2 = RA 2.50.g1
- READ ---> Cfgsend 1 = RA 2.02
-
- *** If you do not specify the bbs type then cfgsend will abort and
- *** remind you of this needed parameter !!
-
- - Copy the RASendit.Exe & Cfgsend.Exe over the previous version.
- - Changed flag resetting so it works if you are online or local,
- version 1.05.1 would fail to reset on local logons not done
- thru the bbs.
- - Added flag resetting if you delete a send from within Cfgsend
-
- RASendit V 1.05.1 upgrade information
- ----------------------------------
- - Copy the RASendit.Exe & Cfgsend.Exe over the previous version.
- - Fixed problem in log where it was written that the file copy/
- download was successful & unsuccessful
- - FIXED (For Sure) resetting of flag. This is done by flipping the bit
- in the Exitinfo.BBS file that RA reads when it re-enters the BBS
- after dropping to run RASendit. The Exitinfo will be looked for
- in the same directory as the door.sys & Dorinfo1.Def directory
- you specify on the command line. This is the normal place for
- it to be found. This fix also now fixes the counting of downloads
- if you have this feature turned on in the cfgsend.
-
- RASendit V 1.04 upgrade information
- ----------------------------------
- - Copy the RASendit.Exe over the previous version.
- **-->> - Run 103to104.exe to convert to the new config file format <<--**
- (The following option only works on RemoteAccess or RA compats)
- - Added ability to turn on a flag in the usersbase if you send
- a user a file. You need to decide if you want to use this. This
- ability gives RASENDIT a more seamless integration into RA. To
- set it up is easy, just answer Yes or No to using it in the
- CfgSend setup program and if to use it the flag to turn on
- and off. It works like this: Setup your menu to run RASENDIT
- like before but also use the flag you just told CfgSend to
- set. Then when the user signs on, if his flag is set then he
- has a file waiting and RASENDIT will run. When done RASENDIT
- checks the rasendit.dat file to see if the user has anymore
- files waiting, if not then the users flag is reset.
- - If you are using a previous version RASENDIT then
- either turn on the flag you wish to use for this
- for all users who have a file waiting or clear
- all sends and resend them.
- - Changed to default of logname so that now you cen define the path
- also. Be sure to do this.
-
- RASendit V 1.03 upgrade information
- ----------------------------------
- - Copy the RASendit.Exe over the previous version.
- - Added a Press return to continue after the no files waiting
- - Added ability to search the complete filebase for the file
- to send or specify a range to look. This helps those with
- a huge filebase.
- - Added ability to send a file not in the file database
- - Now uses Door.Sys or Dorinfo1.Def drop files.
- - The directory you specify as the drop file location will be
- used. The program will search for door.sys and then a
- dorinfo1.def file in that order. The door.sys file is
- the prefered drop file because logon time to the program
- will be quicker. If a Dorinfo1.def file is used the program
- will search the users.bbs file for the users record number
- so it will be able to count the downloads if this is set up
- in the config file. The users record # is given in a door.sys
- drop file.
- - Fixed file scanning problem in Cfgsend when the file size of the
- index file for an area was Zero (0). Now skips scanning that area
- file area for the file.
- - Fixed some cosmetic foul-ups
- - Added an example of protocols in the sndprot.dat file. Copy this
- file to your ra directory and adjust or delete as you want.
- - Fixed problem of RASendit.Exe not locating RASendit.Key file if
- it exist.
- - Added a message to the sysop of a successful file send. Make sure
- you put in the message board you want the messages sent to in
- CFgSend.Exe Under Message Board. Limited to HMB (Board 1 - 254)
- - Fixed local download bug, file was not successfully copied.
-
- RASendit V 1.02 upgrade information
- ----------------------------------
- - Copy the RASendit.Exe over the previous version.
- - FIXES a nasty bug that made the protocols not work correctly
- - Now requires to command line parameters to operate.
- - You must specify the path to Door.Sys as the second
- parameter on the command line.
-
- EXAMPLE: RASendit *P C:\RA\NODE1
-
- RASendIt requires two parameters to run:
-
- Single Line
- ------------------------------------
- RASENDIT.EXE *P C:\RA *M
-
- RASENDIT.EXE PORT PATH TO DOOR.SYS SWAP[optional]
-
- MultiLine
- ------------------------------------
- *C /C c:\ra\node*N\rasendit.bat *M
