- Update to version 4.51
- ----------------------
-
- This file gives a brief description of the new features added to version
- 4.46 to create version 4.51.
-
- 1. The mouse action for the 'word grab' facility has been altered, you must
- now DOUBLE CLICK the mouse 'select' button on the word.
-
- 2. The mouse action for the 'line grab' facility has been altered, you must
- now 'PRESS AND HOLD' the mouse select button on the line in the rx
- window. The line will appear in the tx window after a short delay, this
- can then be eddited and sent.
-
- 3. An IGNORE: script command has been added, this can be used to prevent
- reading back the messages you have uploaded. Alternatively it can be used
- so messages to/from certain callsigns are ignored. Further details are
- provided below.
-
- 4. Message marking has been changed slightly, now the +/- mark for messages
- to be read does not have to be placed at the 6th character location, it
- can be placed after the message number anywhere from the 1st to 8th
- character location. This allows message numbers up to 7 digits to be
- marked!
-
- 5. Text and data files dragged from applications such as !Edit can now be
- larger than 8Kbytes. !ComLink will now use the scrap file method of data
- transfer to sen the complete file. Files smaller than 8K will be
- transferred using memory.
-
- 6. Assorted obscure and minor bug fixes have been made!
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- IGNORE:<text>|<num>
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Purpose: Makes SCANLIST: ignore lines containing <text> at position <num>.
-
- Use: This comand can be used so that a SCANLIST: will ignore lines that have
- the specified text at a certain character position in a line.
-
- Typically this would be used to prevent your own uploaded messages being
- read back during the READ: command.
-
- Assume the following snippet of a script is executed:-
-
- ...
- IGNORE:G7ALN|31
- TYPE:L
- SCANLIST:G7ALN:ARCHIM
- READ:
- ...
-
- If the list returned by the BBS is say:-
-
- MsgNo TS Size To At From Date Subject
- 60008 B$ 1221 G7ALN GBR G4NZK 07-Mar New !ComLink is brill!
- 60007 B$ 1245 ARCHIM GBR G7ALN 07-Mar !ComLink 4.51 out now!
- 60006 B$ 1245 ALL GBR G1IVG 07-Mar G7ALN
-
- 1 2 3
- 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 <-- character positions
-
- There is a G7ALN starting at character position 31 in message 60007 so
- it will not be read by the READ command, despite the fact that the message
- otherwise meets the ARCHIM and G7ALN search strings in the SCANLIST command.
-
- Examples: IGNORE:ALL|17
- IGNORE:EU|24
