If such a message is found, the AKA used for EchoMail to that node, will be used for the NetMail message. - NEW: Domain strings may be specified for each AKA defined in the configuration file. This is applied to the ^aMSGID line of exported messages, and can be up to 20 characters in length. - FidoPcb can now be configured for 30 nodes (previous versions were limited to 10). This requires you to set FILES=65 in your CONFIG.SYS file! - NetMail (MATRIX) messages received in .PKT format are now treated the same way as those received in .MSG format. 18.05.92 - NEW: When exporting messages, FidoPCB looks for the occurrence -------- of 'SYSOP' in the FROM: and TO: fields of the message header. If found, it is changed into the name defined by the SYSOP command in FIDOPCB.CFG. This was done because otherwise it can cause a bit of confusion for other SysOps, who would get a lot of mail that is incorrectly addressed to them. 16.05.92 - *** IMPORTANT *** Registration method changed! FidoPCB can now -------- be registered by Credit Card (Mastercard or Eurocard only). The registration form may be sent via: NetMail, Fax, or regular Mail. You may also file the online registration questionnarie on MicroArt BBS, or by posting the registration form as a comment to the SysOp. Four different versions (and prices) are available: a) up to 256 areas - $39 / 62 DEM b) up to 512 areas - $49 / 79 DEM c) up to 1024 areas - $59 / 94 DEM x) customized limit - $69 / 110 DEM (32767 areas max.) Prices changed because of high cost of user support in the USA, and because of the costs involved in Credit Card acceptance. After receipt and verification of the order, a Key File will be uploaded to your BBS. - *** IMPORTANT *** FidoPCB now uses a Key File for registration! A Shareware Key File is supplied with the unregistered version, and the program operates in this mode until a registered key file is used. The key file contains some of the information located in the FIDOPCB.CFG file. - NEW: Added duplicate checking, wherein all duplicates will be copied into the LOST MAIL area. The first two lines of these messages contain "DUPLICATE" and the AREA name, so you can check if they really are duplicates and take the proper action. - NEW: New Parameter, DUPE_CHECK, specifies the number of messages to check for duplication. Use of this parameter generates the file, MSGS.DUP. The size of the file depends on the number of messages checked (4 bytes/message). Fields used for checking: FROM, TO, SUBJ, DATE and TIME. - NEW: Added recognition of the ^aINLT flag on imported MATRIX messages to obtain the origin zone of incoming messages. - NEW: Added recognition of the ^aFMPT flag on imported MATRIX messages to obtain the point of incoming messages. - NEW: Private PCBoard messages are now exported with the PRIVATE flag set, and imported, private, messages are marked as private as well. - NEW: Exported messages now have a ^aMSGID flag with a @domain field. - NEW: FIDOPCB.LOG now lists processed packet names. - Fixed minor bugs with SEEN-BY lines. - FidoPCB now really checks for the existence of '* Origin:' lines when exporting messages. A bug caused it to work only 0% - 50% of the time. - Relased v1.2 beta 01.02.92 - Release of v1.1 as shareware -------- 25.01.92 - Fixed bug with Crash, File Attach messages -------- 16.01.92 - FidoPCB now generates two files (when .MSG files are made): -------- FDRESCAN.NOW and FMRESCAN.NOW - These are semaphore files for FrontDoor - Added the FRONTDOOR configuration parameter to define the path of the FrontDoor directory - Added the DOOR command line parameter. Its allows you to run FidoPCB as a door - Added configuration parameter PCBOARD for the path to PCBOARD.SYS - Added configuration for archiver path and name (ZIP, UNZIP, ARC, UNARC, ARJ, UNARJ, LHA, ULHA) Ex: ZIP c:\util\pkzip.exe UNARC d:\archive\pkxarc.exe - If the execution of an archiver returns an error code while packing exported messages, the last read pointers won't be updated - If you add the INTL flag to a matrix message, it will be sent through the Zone Gateway, otherwise it is sent according to the other flags (HOLD, CRASH) - Relased v1.1 beta 12.01.92 - Reorganized the Static and Dynamic buffers. Maximum message -------- size is now 64k - FidoPCB requires at least 200k free memory + 100k for PKZip and other archivers (Check the individual archiver's documentation) 11.01.92 - FidoPCB now supports Five digit Net and Node numbers. This -------- used to be limited to 3 digits inadvertently) - It is now possible to send the Interzone NetMail messages. (FidoPCB automatically generates the necessary flags) 01.01.92 - Release of v1.0 as shareware -------- 25.12.91 - Fixed bug which caused duplicates when a message with a -------- CHR(2) message separator in the body text was received. (this is illegal!) 03.12.91 - Added parameter IGNORE_ECHO ON/OFF (to ignore echo flag in -------- PCBoard messages) - Routine to export messages now strips trailing blanks - Rewrote some routines to reduce size and increase speed of EXE - Cosmetic reformat of LOG file entries 29.11.91 - Messages from FrontdDoor were duplicated because FM changed -------- their date and time (to solve this problem use the parameter NET_TOSS Pcboard in FidoPCB.CFG) - Added the NETWORK ON/OFF parameter - Added file and record locking. PCBoard files are opened in deny none mode. - Rewrote Packet Reading routine (this was causing problems with CHR(1) which is illegal!) - Speeded up tossing - Fixed some minor bugs 16.11.91 - Fixed bug with unpredictable message flags -------- - Changed packet addressing - Added LOG file - Still unresolved problems with duplicated MSG from FrontDoor 13.11.91 - Added flags to net mail messages (HOLD,IMM,CRASH) -------- 12.11.91 - Added FORCE parameter in command line -------- - Added NET_TOSS parameter in configuration - Text length of a message may be 20k long (this is still not enough!) - When using AKA, this number is put into SEEN-BY line - PKZIP, PKARC, ARJ are executed now in window - Minor changes on screen outputs - Added AREAFIX (very usefull for HOST) - Fixed minor bugs 24.10.91 - First release of HISTORY.DOC (FidoPCB version 1.0 beta) -------- ================================================================================
