INTRODUCTION
Telegard 3.0 is finally here!
Telegard 3.02 is a major bug fix release to patch up some run-time
code with a security loophole. 3.02 should be immediately installed
on your system (see PRESS.302 for further details).
Telegard 3.01 is a minor bug fix release to patch up some run-time
code which was generating problems. 3.01 also fixes a number of
other prominent problems, and should *definately* be installed over
3.00.
While it has been 3+ years since the last official Telegard release,
I'm proud to say that this version is a worthy successor to Telegard
2.7. It is my first official release as author of the software, and
I hope that the wait was worth the effort that was placed into
Telegard by myself and my entire development team (past & present).
Please print INSTALL.DOC and follow the instructions as outlined
*exactly*. If you do not do this, I guarentee problems (don't skip
steps, don't just jump in -- READ THE DOCS, THEY ARE NOT FOR MY
HEALTH!)
CREDITS
Thanks to my entirely deserving beta team, and especially to Michael
Yadron and my new cohorts, Kevin Watkins and Don Johnson.
Michael Yadron, who has recently retired from active duty on the
beta team, deserves more thanks than I can ever express to him.
His hard work, as the organizer, the co-ordinator, the motivator
and just about everything else that he was and is, kept things
going in the right direction and our release would not have been
made without him. Mike, I wish you the best of luck and yes,
I will talk to you soon. :)
For those of you who have missed their active participation in
TG_SUPPORT, I would like everyone to give a warm welcome to the
individuals who are replacing Mike in their new expanded
positions -- Don Johnson and Kevin Watkins. They have rather
big feet to fill in Michael's absense and with all their new
job duties too, but I'm more than confident that they will do an
excellent job! Kudos guys . . .
Thanks also to Kevin Watkins for producing (under duress) the
TELEGARD.DOC documentation included with this release. It's a
task that I wouldn't have wanted, and I'm more-than-glad that
he did them . . . :)
Other members of my beta team have come and gone with time - to
all the present and past members of the team, a heartfelt
thanks. Beyond all the ideas you provide, you're really just
a great group of people to work with.
So thanks again for all your patience. We hope you enjoy this
Telegard release.
Regards, Tim Strike
