                  TIGER Version 1.0  Last Minute Notes

Documentation changes:

1. TIGER will look for TIGER.CTL as the configuration file.  To be
   compatible with the documentation, TIGER.CFG will still work, but
   it is more like other eSoft products to end the name in .CTL.

2. The TIGER.CTL file will be found anywhere in the TBBSPATH, as
   other TBBS files are found.

3. From the DOS prompt, typing "TIGER ?" (without the quotes) will
   cause TIGER to output what it thinks the configuration file looks
   like.  This can be useful to see how TIGER is parsing the file,
   and will mainly be used by eSoft technical support staff as a
   debugging tool to help locate configuration errors.

4. The TIGER script language SEND statement has been enhanced to make
   unusual scripting conditions possible as follows:

    a.  \r  - anywhere in a line sends a carriage return

    b.  \n  - anywhere in a line sends a line feed

    c.  \\  - anywhere in a line sends a single "\" character

    d.  Normally a line end sends a carriage return character.  The
        following ending sequences will alter that default operation:

        /  at the end of a line sends BOTH carriage return and line feed.

        \l at the end of a line will send only a line feed.

        \  at the end of a line suppresses sending the carriage return.
