New As Of 11.09
---------------
1) Kermit will now catch and report a "Disk Full" error when receiving.
2) Added a new feature. If the following Procedure command:
PUTPARAM 504,1
is compiled and executed, the Terminal Window will be hidden during a
file transfer, and reappear when the transfer is finished. To turn off
this feature, compile and execute the following Procedure command:
PUTPARAM 504,0
3) Added support for the Stuffit Deluxe archive/unarchive engine. If you
own the Deluxe version of Stuffit, I think you'll really appreciate how
easy it is now to work with archiving and unarchiving files without having
to leave White Knight. If the Stuffit engine is present, three new menu
items will appear in White Knight:
File->Stuff Files
-----------------
This item allows you to create Stuffit archives. You may select files
either one at a time, or you may choose to archive the contents of entire
folders, or you may do a combination of both as many times as you like.
A scrolling list will show you the files that you have selected. All of
the types of compression offered by the Stuffit Engine are available, but
the "Optimal" and "Best Guess" compression types will only be available
if the version of the Stuffit Engine you are using is higher than 1.0.
File->Unstuff Files
-------------------
This item allows you to convert a Stuffit archive into its original
component files.
Customize->Options->Unstuff
---------------------------
There are two choices in this dialog box.
You can tell White Knight to automatically unstuff received files either
at the end of a file transfer, before quitting White Knight, or not at all.
Unlike the File->Unstuff Files choice, you will not be given a dialog box
asking you to name the resulting files as they are unstuffed, so this feature
is fully compatible with Procedures. If the archive contains only one file,
that file will be placed in the same folder as the archive file. If it
contains more than one file, a new folder is created (using the archive name
minus any ".sit" extension) in the folder containing the archive file, and the
unstuffed files are placed in that new folder to help you locate them.
As an aside, I _could_ have added a auto-stuff before send feature, but after
doing so and testing it, I found that all too often it created problems
with time-sensitive file transfer protocol startups, and so I hacked it back
out.
The other option in this dialog box will allow you to instruct the Stuffit
engine to delete the original archive file after unstuffing it (either through
auto-unstuffing through a protocol file receive, or by use of the File->
Unstuff files menu choice).
4) I liked the dialog box I created for stuffing files (not to mention that
the FolderBatch RCMD won't work under MultiFinder) so much, that I
incorporated it in the File->Create Batch File menu choice. As when
Stuffing files, you can add files to the Batch either one at a time, you
can add the contents of a folder, or you can add files using a combination
of these techniques. A scrolling list will show you which files will be
specified in the Batch File.
5) Fixed bug in "Write Procedure For Me" that changed the XMODEM style
erroneously.
