- Version 1.5 - 11/89
- Version 1.51 - 12/89
- Version 2.00 - 6/90
- Version 2.00a - 10/90
- Version 2.01 - 03/91
-
- Version 1.5 (11/89) contains three new programs in addition to
- fixes for all the known bugs in Version 1.0. Several of the
- existing utility programs have also been enhanced. Some of the
- most visible changes are:
-
- - the utilities USERLIST, MSET and REBOOT have been
- added. See your documentation for details.
-
- - a bug that caused the MESSAGE utility to crash while
- running under graphics programs has been fixed.
-
- - the MESSAGE utility has been enhanced to allow the
- display of longer messages, and to display the
- time at which the message was sent.
-
- - the utilities (specifically FASTNET and LOGIN) no
- longer rely on undocumented features of COMMAND.COM.
- They will now work with all compatible command
- shell processors, including J.P. Software's 4DOS.
-
- - LOGIN has been relinked to give you up to 64K more
- available memory during login script execution.
-
- In Version 1.51 (12/89) we've fixed two remaining problems with the
- MESSAGE utility.
-
- - In version 1.5 (MESSAGE version 1.6), MESSAGE could
- occasionally cause a lockup if a message came in at just
- the wrong point in a disk intensive operation. The new
- version checks much more carefully to be sure that it's
- safe to pop up.
-
- - The older version of MESSAGE had the annoying property
- of sometimes preventing stations from accessing a server
- while a message was popped up on the server's screen. The
- improved "pop up safety checking" also eliminates this
- problem.
-
- Version 1.52 (4/90) adds improved DOS 4.xx compatibility.
-
- In Version 2.00 (6/90) new programs were added: FU, SU, INTERCOM,
- DELAY, and LUSETUP. MESSAGE's pop-up mechanism was reworked for
- greater reliability.
-
- Version 2.00a (10/90) contains a fix for a bug that kept LOGIN from working
- correctly when no password is given under LANtastic NOS 3.0.
-
- Known bugs in this version:
- ----------------------------
- MSET does not seem to set the master copy of the environment when
- running under DOS 4.01 if the environment size has been changed with
- the /E parameter in CONFIG.SYS.
-
- Version 2.01 (3/91) is not shareware -- it can be freely used and
- distributed. Source code is also available: see the file LANUTILS.DOC for information.
