This text file lists features and/or fixes that were not
included in the latest revision of the TranScan v5.00 manual.
Also, see the BBS.DOC file for the latest information on running
TranScan with your BBS software.
TranScan v5.02 (April , 1994)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
General Problem Fixes:
----------------------
o Several RunTime Errors were fixed.
PCBoard Problem Fixes:
----------------------
o The UPDESC. file is now written to the right directory (%3)
which insures that the FILE_ID.DIZ, DESC.SDI and GIF Comments
are imported into the file listing.
o /CNONE is no longer necessary if you are using PCBoard 15.1+
because PCBoard 15.1+ supports the converting of files
during the PCBTEST.BAT process.
o If the "Drop File Path" is not defined in the TS5 "BBS Set-Up" it
will default to the current directory. This should work fine
if you do not change directory before running TS5.EXE in your
PCBTEST.BAT file.
o The TS5.PPL was not included in the original archive. It will
be created as you run the PATCH program.
Wildcat Problem Fixes:
----------------------
New Features Added:
-------------------
o Added two new command line switches:
/NOXMS tells TranScan to NOT use XMS memory
/NOEMS tells TranScan to NOT use EMS memory
TranScan v5.01 (April 13, 1994)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
General Problem Fixes:
----------------------
o "Swap file not found." error fixed. This was caused when
SCAN.EXE, PKUNZIP.EXE, etc. were found in the same directory
that TranScan was started from.
o Run Time Error 204 at 1087:0669 fixed.
o Message Conference in BBS Set-Up was not saved correctly.
o GIF Descriptions were not being imported correctly.
o GIFLite, GIF2JPG and JPG2GIF were not being processed off-line
even if this option is selected.
o GIF file date test method was not ignored even when this option
was selected.
o In "Default Compressor Set-Up" the "Editor" button was not working
at the "Fail Archives with files in this list" prompt.
o If "Convert Imbedded Compressed Files" was off TranScan would
not recompress files either. This also caused files in the
TS5.DEL list not to be deleted.
o COM output was not always displaying in some Non-Standard IRQ
situations.
GAP Problem Fixes:
------------------
o GAP passes a RIP id to DOOR.SYS if this option is turned on
from GAP's configuration. This allows the displaying of
TranScan's RIP graphics display.
o TranScan was occasionally creating an empty DESC.SDI even
if there was not FILE_ID.DIZ, DESC.SDI, or GIF Comment.
Wildcat Problem Fixes:
----------------------
o TranScan would lock up durring local upload.
o Wildcat Status Line showed "(LOCAL)" even when caller was
not local.
o GIF Resolution when "Right" was selected was not formatting
correctly.
o "Min. Security Level" option on BBS Set-Up was not working
correctly.
New Features Added:
-------------------
o Display Drop File type on Configuration Menu.
o "Load Config." now defaults to the directory where TS5 is
located and "*.CFG".
TranScan v5.00 (April 1, 1994)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New Features added:
-------------------
SET TSCFG=
----------
You can include this environment variable before running
TranScan to use a different TranScan configuration file.
Just include the full path and filename to the new config-
uration file. TranScan will create this file if it does
not exist and you can configure it. For example:
SET TSCFG=C:\WC30\TS5A.CFG
SET TSPORT=
-----------
You can include this environment variable before running
your BBS in a multi-node environment so that when TranScan
runs it receives the correct port information for that
node. The command parameters are exactly like those for
the command line:
SET TSPORT=P<com>[,Base][,IRQ][,RtsCts]
For example:
SET TSPORT=P2,$02F8,3,T
