GrapeVine 1.32
--------------
Latest features:
- Ascii upload.
Set up the file transfer as normal, but select ASCII as your protocol.
When you click on SEND, Terminal mode will be entered, and you can watch
the file being uploaded. To abort, return to the desktop (BREAK) and click
on CANCEL on the transmit window.
There are some new options on the main menu for file transfers: only for
ASCII uploads at the moment.
Expand Blanks: When ticked this will send <space><return> instead of
just <return> at blank lines, so if you are uploading a text file to
an editor which takes a blank line as an end-of-input, any blank lines
in the text file will not cause the editor to terminate entry
prematurely.
CR: When ticked, all LFs in the text file will be converted to CRs before
sending.
LF: As above except CRs get converted into LFs
Delay: Allows you to specify the speed at which characters are
transmitted, to cater for the slower BBSs around (eg Commnett)
- New phonefile format:
As before, except now the first two bytes in the file specify the version
+0 - zero (indicates new format)
+1 - version number
Version 2 files have 10 lines per entry rather than 8:
Line 9: Macro definition (80 chars max). Will be executed when you hit
F12 in terminal mode.
Line 10: 'Selected' flag. If there is a '*' on this line then when the
phonefile is loaded this entry will be selected (subject to
it still being available for this time of day). Otherwise this
line should be left blank.
- Can now load phone files at any time
- Dialstate file scrapped... dial selections saved in phonenum file itself.
- Interactive resizing of Grapevine task slot implemented: controls size of
capture buffer.
- Macro key facility: Each entry in diallist has it's own macro. Execute with
F12 (as mentioned above)
- Inter dial delay facility added... can now specify delay between dial
attempts in seconds (for exchanges that don't reset the phoneline fast
enough)
- Can now set dial-wait time from control panel icons (up/down arrows)
- File saving/loading improved... buffer saves via RAMtrans if possible.
- AutoReturn and AutoRedial facilities added - to more completely automate
the process of 'Returning' to the desktop and reselecting 'Redial' to move
on to the next selected BBS.
- More of the terminal in ARMcode... most features now available in ALL
terminal emulations (it's a little faster too! :-) ).
- Numerous bugs fixed
eg Autodialling a specific BBS with HOLD on used to dial the BBS before
the desired one in the list.
