Changes implemented in version 2.06 of ZDoor
* Changed the "last chance" prompt shown before all file transfers to
allow the caller to switch transfer protocols before initiating the
transfer. Previously, if a caller wanted to change protocol,
the transfer had to be aborted, the T)ransfer Protocol command
issued, and the file transfer re-initiated.
* Fixed the number shown as "SF" (stowage factor) in the ARCV displays.
Previously, this number represented not % Compressed, but
% Uncompressed. ZDoor's ARCV function is now consistent with the
standard ARC programs (ARC, ARCE, PKXARC, etc.) in this respect.
* Added an "XONE"-type facility to allow for the extraction of specified
files from one ARC file to a special temporary ARC file for
downloading. This function is available as the command "E)xtract to
Temporary ARC" in the Files sub-menu (ie. 'F E').
Implementation of this command will require 2 additional lines in your
configuration files for ZDoor. Line 17 must now contain the full path
and filename that YOU choose to call the Temporary ARC file created by
this command. Be sure that you (1) Choose a different name for each
node of a multi-node system and (2) Place the file in a subdirectory
that is part of your download path (as specified in PCBSetup).
Line 18 of your configuration files must contain a minimum security
level below which this new command will not be available.
* Added the ability to resume an aborted upload. The only condition
that must be met before an aborted upload may be resumed is that the
aborted transfer MUST have left a partial file of more than zero bytes
in the Upload Subdirectory.
The "Resume Aborted Upload" feature is available even if the caller
selects the Logoff after Transfer option. If Logoff is selected, the
countdown proceeds as usual. If, however, the caller aborts the logoff
via a ^K or ^X, the opportunity to resume the aborted transfer will
then be presented.
* The S)elect (new) ARChive function in the Files sub-menu now produces
a verbose listing of the newly selected arc file automatically.
* Modified the CHAT routine to flush any commands that may have been
entered just before CHAT mode is initiated.
* The program now checks the minimum security levels required for Upload
and Download (as specified via PCBSetup) before allowing a transfer to
proceed. If the caller's security is not greater than or equal to
these minimum settings, the transfer will be denied.
* Added the ability for a sysop to upload a file that already exists on
the system. By "sysop", I mean someone whose security level is greater
than or equal to 100.
* The standard Turbo Pascal 4.0 video routines are no longer used due to
certain incompatibilities with the TaskView multi-tasker software.
* Found a problem in the way a DOS Command Line Overflow condition is
detected. This fix should solve GB's problem. Thanks, GB!
* Fixed some cosmetic things relating to what message is displayed
when a user is disconnected.
* Changed the routine used to accept caller input at all ZDoor prompts
to only accept characters in the range ASCII 8 to 13 and 32 to 127.
This should help eliminated trashed displays during periods of heavy
line noise.
* Modified the N)ew Files scan to more closely emulate the PCBoard command
with regard to lines that are always shown (e.g. ==-==-==, XX-XX-XX, etc.)
* Fixed a minor oversight in the sysop's status line. The caller security
level display now shows which conference the caller is currently in
(e.g. S0=60 for main board, S1=60 for conf. 1, etc.)
* The memory requirement for ZDoor is now 151,376 bytes (147.83 Kb). This
does not include additional memory required to run DSZ (file transfers)
and/or Command.Com (for sysop shell to DOS).
