- Fixes (2.00b)
- =============
-
- Tabs
- ----
- Tabs were a mess! - must have written that bit late at night or
- something ;-) Use of tabs could cause address excpetions (B.M.A) Should
- now function correctly.
-
-
- Keyboard mapping
- ----------------
- Have changed CTRL+U to be handled just like all other CTRL+(alpha) keys.
- Problem there was some old test code that had been left in.
-
- Various other keys added. Sequence for Page up/down had a "~" missing
- off the end should be ok now. See file "Keyboard" in notes for keymap
- info.
-
- Application keypad mode - this needs some thought due to way RiscOS
- keyboard is mapped by the keyboard handler.
-
-
- Changes
- =======
-
- Commands parsing now accepts upto 32 tokens (or should)
- Chat strings now as per "Notes.Chat" file.
-
- Pop now calls same closedown sequence as NNTP, SMTP etc.

- Responses to other comments
- ===========================
-
- Smaller read only sessions
- --------------------------
-
- NNTP, SMTP and POP window - making them open smaller. As a temporary
- measure, the size of these windows have been dropped to 40 x 8.
-
- The minimum window size for a read only window has been droppd to 40 x
- 5. Input window min size remains at 80 x 24.
-
-
- Command aliases
- ---------------
-
- I totally agree with your comments. I think I would be tempted to
- combine this with a rework of the FTP client and server to make them
- much more unix like in terms of path processing and information
- presentation.
-
- This would mean that the FTP client and server would lose all of their
- existing coded aliases and gain correct operation of the underlying
- commands. The existing hard aliases can then be easiliy re-implemeted
- as soft aliases or command files.
-
- While, it is likely the most users who would connect to an Arc FTP server
- would be other Acorn users, I find that most users when on the net, get
- into a net/unix way of thinking, thus unix like information and path
- parsing would actually make life more consistant.
-
- The kind of alias mechanism I would have in mind would probably be a
- variation on the obey file theme. In this case a directory within the
- !TCPIP application would hold all command files (text files). This would
- also allow command scripts to be creted and called by name, just like
- command line use of obey files.
