========================================
Version 1.00 - 09 Dec 91 - It's snowing!!
========================================
- First MEGA release :-)
=========================================
Version 1.01 - 10 Dec 91 - It's coooold!!
=========================================
- SHIT!! Reported a bug by my great friend Simone :
if HOLD dir was empty, PURGE mode of SkyTick fall in loop :-(, sorry but
I have always at least 200 files in my HOLD directory :-)
=========================================
Version 1.10 - 14 Dec 91 - It's coooold!!
=========================================
- Now SkyTick fully support 4D addressing, i.e. you can write things
like this in the config file :
FILEECHO SKYUTILS #1
TO 2:331/106.8
TO 11:10/2.2
Etc, etc, the same for the PASSWORD keyword.
- Fixed a bug in config file parsing routines (sometimes SkyTick sent files
to strange nodes!).
- Added dupes checking! Look at the DUP keyword in config file!
If you have dupes checking turned on, SkyTick will store all filenames and
CRCs processed in a file-database, and then it will check all inbound files
against the database in order to put in BAD dupes one.
- New command line option in WRITE mode:
[-Z<Split>] Max number of lines in message
If in WRITE mode the body has more than <Split> lines the message will
be split in n messages.
Useful for brain-dead message processor that doesn't support long
messages. Default is 100 lines for message.
- New method to calculate MSGID: lines in order to prevent dupes on very fast
Amiga.
=========================================
Version 1.20 - 20 Dec 91 - It's coooold!!
=========================================
- Fixed 4D addressing bug, now works great!
- Fixed other little bugs!
- Now SkyTick creates Pointers.file and file.dat if they doesn't exist
====================================================
Version 1.30 - 24 Dec 91 - Santa Claus is coming :-)
====================================================
- Fixed bug in PASSWORD keyword parsing.
- New type of file echo :
MSDOSECHO -> In this echo all filenames will be checked in order to be
Ms-DOS compatible
AMIGAECHO -> Filenames will NOT be checked and it is the same of
FILEECHO for compatibilty with older config file
=========================================
Version 1.40 - 23 Jan 92 - It's snowning
=========================================
- Fixed a bug in MSDOSECHO
- Fixed small bug
- Added FREE keyword in config file, if present, it will upload all files
with flag FREE set. Idea by Leon Shaner
==========================
Version 2.00 - 10 Jan 92 -
==========================
- Modified AMIGAECHO and MSDOSECHO for Areafix compatibility. Now you can
set the area type with the TYPE keyword.
TYPE AMIGA -> Set amiga-style fileecho
TYPE MSDOS -> Set msdos-style fileecho
msdos-style fileecho is the default.
AMIGAECHO and MSDOSECHO are NO MORE supported. You must use FILEECHO now.
- SkyTick now puts zone:net/node.point as filenotes of outbound *.TIC
- Added replace feature in both Tick and Hatch function. This should be
a very useful feature for often-update programs. When you hatch a file
you are asked to insert the 'replace' file, if you give it, the new file
will delete and replace the old file. I.e.
If you hatch FOO150.LHA and replace FOO140.LHA, when SkyTick will process
the .TIC it will delete FOO140.LHA from your file area and upload FOO150.LHA
For this reason I've added the DELPATH keyword in SkyTick.CFG, it's syntax
is:
DELPATH <Path>
This keyword is optional, but if enabled will move any replaced filename
in <Path> instead of simply delete it.
Last, if you want to turn off the replace feature (i.e, you don't want
SkyTick to delete your old files), just write the keyword 'NOREPLACE' in
SkyTick.CFG.
- Added COMMAND <string> feature, if present, SkyTick will execute
<string> each time a file is processed/hatched in a given area.
Tokens available for COMMAND keyword :
%a - Areatag
%n - Filename
%t - Time & date the file was received
%l - File lenght
%c - File CRC
%d - File Description
%z - File Origin (zone)
%f - File Origin (net)
%q - File Origin (node)
%p - File Origin (point)
Example:
COMMAND c:rx rexx:myscript %a %n "%d" %c
Note: The string should be NOT contained between '"' (only brain-dead
parsers require it :-) :-) ).
- PURGE command is now 10-20 times faster :)
- During HATCH mode, if you type "NONE" as Area Tag, the fill will be simply
uploaded to the DLG file area, w/o sending it to anyone.
