└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
27.05.92 - release of v1.2 as shareware
--------
22.05.92 - NEW: FidoPCB now checks NetMail messages to see if they are
-------- destined for a node for which you use an AKA. 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)

-------- PCBoard messages)
- Routine to export messages now strips trailing blanks
