- VP2 (AKA VPurge-OS/2) Modified ConfMail, v4.09f
-
- Refer to the excellent ConfMail 4.00 manual for basic usage information.
-
- Rename this module to CM2.EXE and put it in your \BINK subdirectory over
- the previous CM2.EXE module. It differs from the original in thirteen ways.
-
- 1. All known null pointer problems are corrected.
- 2. The problems with Mei and some (Dutchie?) messages causing hangs
- or traps are corrected (date formatting).
- 3. Grunged packet and message header hangs and traps are corrected.
- 4. If the line in AREAS.BBS has a # before the first Node address,
- including as the first character of the line, the area is treated as
- a true passthru area: upon full and successful Export of all messages
- in that area, they are all deleted and a fresh 1.MSG is created. This
- makes it compatible with QMail AREAS.BBS files.
- 5. The longstanding problem with parsing the commandline for Import or Export
- without a -A has been fixed.
- 6. Commandline switches may now begin with either a "-" or a "/".
- 7. It can now be called without parameters without trapping.
- 8. It now resists self-destruction when processing messages with really
- screwed up header fields.
- 9. Area names in the areas.bbs and the -f areafile list must be the same length.
- Previously, they matched if the areas.bbs (FOO) was in the -f areafile list
- stem (FOO_BAR).
- 10.The SEADOG mode old archive Zapper apparently wasn't working in all cases.
- It always deletes the old archive, but wasn't always successful in doing
- the subsequent new Open of a 0-length file.
- 11.More SEEN-BY problems during Export. Traps, not properly sorted, etc.
- 12.Thanks to Andreas Kaiser, VPurge will now toss naked packets correctly from
- multiple places in one invocation: current subdirectory, netmail area, and
- the netfiles (usual) area.
- 13.Short and null packets should no longer cause TRAPs or erratic IMPORTs.
-
-
- This module has now replaced CM2.EXE in all the archives at 1:109/301; those
- with copies of those archives are encouraged to do the same.
-
- The DOS version of this program is available in VP_409F.LZH, from 1:109/301.
-
- Source for both the VP and VP2 4.09F versions is online and available from
- 1:109/301 as VP2_409F.LZH, around 95K in size, as soon as they are released.
