XFERPRO version 1.1.1 was released in May 1996.
The following new capabilities/fixes are provided:
- When dropping files and the default decoding is set to
"based on data input," failure to decode will provide
the user an option to encode the file. This is required
since the file extension and the /E encode option cannot
be used to determine that encoding is desired when dragging-
and-dropping files.
- Improved MIME base64 header interpretation logic to determine
filename when data is split across multiple lines as well as
locating encoded data.
- MIME base64 encoding header information updated when creating
multiple enclosures.
- Capability to accept encoded data using only carraige returns
whereby previously a newline was required.
- Ability to manually force binhex decoding from the
Configure|Decode dialog box.
- Ability to specify which encoding method to use with command
line operation (see -E command line argument)
- The users desktop color scheme is used instead of a
fixed Xferpro color scheme.
- Multiple enclosures now supported for binhex 4.0 decoding.
- Binhex encoding now uses MIME headers to allow interoperability
with some newer email programs which don't support raw binhex
data. Xferpro Binhex decoding also supports binhex files wrapped
in MIME email headers.
- Binhex file type/creator (for Macintosh decoders) changed from
TEXT/BnHq to the PC file extension and XFRP. For example, a
binhexed GIF file would have the type/creator set to GIF/XFRP.
- 5.25" diskette no longer available for ordering.
- Improved and updated on-line help.
- Setup program can update the Windows 95 registry for filename
association (when running under Windows 95).
- Setup program improved to disallow the install and destination
directories being the same. Previously, setup would just fail
in the destination directory was the same as where the install
files were located.
- Sabasoft is now a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). The on-line help has been updated to
reflect the ASP requirements.
- Credit cards are now accepted for payment, and the
on-line order form reflects the new options.
=========
XFERPRO version 1.1 was released in August 1995.
The following new capabilities are provided:
- Binhex 4.0 encoding and decoding to allow communication
with Apple Macintosh computers. Only the Macintosh data
fork is supported.
- Support of two more multipart formats: America On-Line
and Squirrel 3.0.
- Decode method (i.e. UU, XX, MIME, and Binhex 4.0) is automatically
determined from file data rather than file extension, freeing
the user from having to know particular decoding details. This
makes XferPro even easier to use than ever. To support this
capability, the default is that all files on the command line
are assumed to be decoded (see /E option below for encoding
files on the command line).
- /E option: indicates that all files on the command line should
be encoded rather than the default of decoding them
(part of above capability).
- Multiple enclosure support for both encoding and decoding. This
capability operates with file formats of single file for UU or
XX methods, and also for MIME and Binhex methods.
- /O option: you can now specify the output file on the command line
for both encoding and decoding.
- Additional on-line help was added for trouble shooting problems.
In addition, the user is reminded to double-check the output
whenever any built-in decoding integrity checks are manually
over-ridden.
- The decoding default was changed to treating all specified files
as part of a large multiple part archive instead of several
individual files to decode. This can be changed back to the
original option via a configuration command if so desired.
- Additional logic was added to help better decode multiple part formats.
- Filename processing was added to ensure the specified output filename
contained in the encoded file can be accepted by DOS/Windows.
===============
XFERPRO version 1.0 was released for the first time in July
1994. The followng capabilities are provided:
- Support of MIME 1.0, UU, and XX encoding and decoding.
- Support of 16 single and multiple file formats commonly used to
send information and binary files via internet e-mail. Instead of
providing yet another non-standard multiple part format,
interoperability with many existing UU, XX, and MIME encoders is
provided.
- Exclusive ability to accept multiple parts in any order so the user
doesnÆt have to waste time piecing them together manually or with
separate programs. Let XFERPRO do the work for you!
- Full drag-and-drop support.
- Completely configurable to a userÆs favorite options.
- Extensive on-line help, error checking, status information, and user
choices during operation.
- Options to allow and facilitate program launch from other applications.
- An electronic on-line order form is provided which allows the user to
type the registration information into a dialog box and print the order
instead of requiring the user to first print an order form and then hand
writing the order. In addition, the on-line order form automatically
calculates the order price.
- Automated installation program to simplify installation.
