< T.A.G. Version 2.6d New Features Documentation >
\===============================================/
This is primarily a bug fix release. However, two new features have been
added.
New Pkey added:
The Pkey ')' has been added in order to create a new DOOR.SYS dropfile.
The format for the DOOR.SYS file is given in the included file
"DOORSYS.TXT". Pdata for the ')' key conforms to those of the other
forms of DOOR.SYS.
CDROM locking under multinode:
While T.A.G. is copying a file from a CDROM to the hard drive, on a
multi-node system, other nodes are locked out from starting a copy
until the first is complete.
This provides support for multi-node systems with CDROM changers.

This is a bug fix release. Several annoying bugs have been found in the
2.6d version, the major problem ones have been corrected in this release.
The following is a list of the major bugs fixed:
When reading message threads, hitting the "Forward Thread" or "Reverse
Thread" at the ends of the thread would cause T.A.G. to allocate memory
from the heap and never return it. This would ultimatly cause a runtime
error 203 (or similar).
In some cases, an Upload Scan would fail to find some matching files.
Parameters were passed incorrectly to POSTUL.BAT
Moving a file *description* from an area (without the file) to an area
where the file existed already would delete the file.
If a user has a closed Mailbox, PUBLIC messages could not be posted to
that user.
Parameter strings to doors were sometimes truncated.
DOOR.SYS incorrectly had both lines 2 and 5 with the locked baud rate.
Line 2 should have the connect rate, Line 5 the locked rate.
.LCK files in the multinode directory are now cleaned up. You can safely
delete any old *.LCK files in that directory.
The 2.5d 'C' Record structures were in error. The new structures,
provided by Martin Pollard, are released.
