- History changes:
-
- 1.34 (24.05.2001)
- -----------------
- NEW: The central server name is amicomsys.dhs.org and it is now located in Sweden.
- This version will connect to that site if you don't change it in the settings.
- NEW: Recompiled the whole project to be certain there are no trouble with the compiled code.
- NEW: The latest libraries are included in the distribution.
- NEW: New images in 16 colours using the RomIcons palette by Andreas Kuerzinger.
-
- 1.33 (12.07.2000)
- -----------------
- NEW: Now play full samples if sound.datatype version 40 or better is installed.
- If not it still plays maximum 1.8 seconds.
- BUG: It didn't work to connect with SendFile to a computer in
- the internal network from the Internet router, i.e. the computer having
- the actual Internet connection. Reverse it did work and PChat
- worked both directions. Outside your network there were no problems to
- connect to your computer.
- To make it possible for computers on Internet to connect with PChat and SendFile
- to your computer which has an internal network ip address, i.e. is behind a firewall
- or Internet router you have to enable the "I'm behind a firewall" checkbox in
- the AmiComSys network settings.
- It still isn't possible to connect with PChat and SendFile between two machines
- both having only an internal ip-address, i.e. when the Internet router isn't
- involved. This is a feature for AmiComSys 2.0 which still is in development.
-
- This program is ShareWare.
