- ■ Removed the DSZ and DSZParm options;
-
- ■ Changed command-line options from / to - (so -N*N and not /N*N);
-
- ■ RDS could trash the log-file when it grow above 64K. This is now
- fixed;
-
- ■ RDS would only display a non-destructive backspace at the remote
- side. This is fixed;
-
- ■ Some newer types of archives would not be reported inside VIEWARC.
- This is fixed;
-
- ■ KILLFORCE did lower the DTR but did not raise it again. This is now
- fixed;
-
- ■ MODEMSEND did cause hangups and did not work as expected. The BIOS
- calls are replaced by ASYNCH routines and the problem is fixed;
-
- ■ MODEMSTAT only showed the RING status of THAT moment. MODEMSTAT
- will now monitor the modem-registers for a few seconds to see if
- there is a RING;
-
- ■ Fixed the USERON coding to work with newer types of Remote Access;
-
- ■ When using DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD locally, the protocol was not actually
- called (only the command-line was displayed). This is changed. The
- protocol is now called so the SysOp can test if the command-lines
- are ok;
-
- ■ UPLOAD files were not logged inside the RDS log-file. This hase
- been fixed;
-
- ■ SHELL did reroute the output even when running locally. Also the
- keyboard was stuffed with CRLF combinations. This is now only done

- line-rule in RDS.CTL ala FileDoor <tm> style;
-
- ■ Added coding for 3 types of RA, 2 types of QuickBBS, Maximus, Opus
- and SuperBBS (RA00/RA10/RA11/QBBS/QNEW/SBBS/MAXI/OPUS on the

-
- ■ Added coding to KILLFORCE to ask if you are sure to perform this
- task;
-
- ■ Added coding to MODEMSEND to make it a complete (ASYNCH) terminal
- when entered;

- ■ DATE and TIME could only be used in combination with setting the
- time and date. Added the NoSetTime and NoSetDate subtype options so
- users can now look at the date and/or time without the option to
- alter;
-
- ■ UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD are rewritten. You can now freely use up to 10
- protocols for UPLOAD and 10 (different) for DOWNLOAD. Also it is
- now possible to supply more than one file for DOWNLOAD when the

- ■ Added SPAWN routine. Where SHELL used COMMAND.COM (4DOS.COM) to

-
- ■ Added ALIAS options. User can not execute a series of uncontrolled
- SPAWN/SHELL commands under one name to do some tedious tasks;

-
- ■ Added the TREE command (and the NoTree subtype option). TREE can be
- performed when TREE.COM or TREE.EXE is somewhere in the DOS path;
-
- ■ Added the FREE command (and the NoFree subtype option). FREE can be
- used to display the free space on a given disk(ette);
-
- ■ Added the LABEL command (and the NoLabel subtype option). LABEL can
