RemoteAccess 1.01 ----------------- This upgrade fixes a number of mostly minor bugs reported since the public release of 1.00. The only significant change in this release is the message-base locking scheme. The new locking system is much tighter, and will be supported in the forthcoming releases of FrontDoor 2.01 and TosScan 1.10 - Silver Xpress and XRS already support it, making possible simultaneous message base access by any combination of these products. * An updated version of RAEXIT, to correctly handle the EXITINFO.BBS conversion. * An updated version of AVTCONV which fixes a number of minor problems in the 1.00 release. * An updated verison of RANODE which fixes a bug present since it's original release. * Text not properly wrapping at the user's end when in chat mode. * "Free" files sometimes being recorded in the user's daily download record. * The cursor remaining visible when the screen blanker was activated. * The incremental name search not working properly in USERED. * An extra line being inserted in the full screen message header when all netmail attributes were enabled. * Users kilobyte upload record sometimes not being updated correctly. * When SNOOP mode was disabled, page pausing would not work properly. * CTRL-X would not work properly when entering a password. * RA would not properly display a black on black AVATAR attribute. * RA would not check all file areas for a duplicate upload. * Menu macro characters (@, `, ~ etc) were being expanded in type 40 text files incorrectly. * When "show missing files" was disabled, RA would not display "comment only" lines. * RA would crash after executing certain menu commands from a questionnaire file. * The message reader would occasionally drop out if the user hit "N" during a message display. * BADFILES.CTL checking not working properly with Zmodem uploads. * The ONCEONLY textfile would not be displayed to new users. * User's date of birth was not displayed anywhere; it's now viewable on the F2 status bar. * RA would not check netmail credit when a user did a netmail reply to an echomail message. * RA would not allow a user to select any message areas for combined mode access if area 200 combined access was disabled. * Path and drive qualifier information was not being stripped properly from user-supplied upload file names. * "Press enter to continue" prompts should have cleared the user's stacked key buffer but didn't. * New users were getting hot keys even if they didn't want them. * If a menu line was not available because a user's security was too low, the first character of the next menu line would not be displayed properly. * TRASHCAN.CTL now recognises 1 and 2 character names. * If a user selects an empty handle, RA substitutes that user's name automatically. * Users can now delete messages that were posted with their handle. * A duplicate zmodem upload now causes the FILEDUPE.A?? file to be displayed after the transfer. * Fixed a problem with the screen blanker. The status bar would only blank if RA was in 25 line mode. * High bit characters are now allowed in chat, user names and message text. * Fixed the list archive filename stuff. Extensions are no longer mandatory, and it aborts gracefully if the user enters a blank filename. * Fixed a problem in the full screen message reader which caused the text window to scroll before the text reached the end of the defined screen length if the user's screen length was greater than the local physical screen length. * A file marked as FREE no longer increments the user's number of files downloaded record. * Aborted uploads are now automatically removed. * Fixed a small cosmetic bug with the number of days until subscription expiry textfile control code. * RA now honours security and flag settings when a menu template command with a literal value is encountered. * Fixed a small cosmetic problem with long names in the userlist. * The 'continue' prompt no longer ignores characters entered while the prompt is being displayed. * Cleaned up and recoded a fair bit of the IEMSI negotiation stuff; it should be a lot more robust now. * RA did not properly restore the CTRL-BREAK interrupt vector when a memory-swapped shell was executed. This has been fixed.
