- This is a list of the changes from the last Beta Test version(1.00D):
-
-
- ** PROGRAM **
-
- A annoying little abend has been fixed. If there was no .MSG or
- Batch processing for REC to do, it would try to sort the updated file.
- Since this file is only created when updates are performed, the program
- would promptly abend with a "Runtime Error 102". NO HARM WAS DONE IN
- ANY WAY, but I fixed it because I know how annoying those bugs are.
-
- Any processing flags on the echo feed (*,H,C,N) were being
- dropped. While fixing it, I made one other "small" change, processing
- flags are now considered part of the address. This means that you can
- enter them on ANY address in REC.CFG, which currently is only useful on
- EchoHub and EchoNode. A special processing flag is any character other
- than a number or ":" or "/" or ".".
-
- The short form of the echo downlinks address was not changing
- zones. This caused the long form of the address to be used on any zone
- other than the zone of the feed. It's been fixed.
-
- The first line of your echo control file will be considered a
- comment, even if it doesn't start with a semi-colon.
-
- REC did not allow echos to cross-zones, which is a problem for
- Gateway Systems. A configuration option of "CrossZone" will permit
- echos to cross zones. See the command in the documentation.
-
- The Batch Commands have been completely re-written. The sysop
- uses aset of commands including Add, Remove, Create, Drop, Change, and
- Flavor to do any special processing. The format of the Batch Command
- file has been significantly changed. Please read the Sysop Doc's for a
- detailed explanation of how they work!
-
-
- ** DOCUMENTATION **
-
- The "NoSort" and "CrossZone" configuration options have been
- added.
-
- The Sysop Batch commands have been completely changed.
-
-
- ** UTILITIES **
-
- AREALIST, AREARPT, and AREASORT programs will now recognize and
- handle properly the special processing options popular with Zmail 1.12.
-
- ECHOSOUT now only shows today and the previous 6 days of echo mail
- volume.
