Update from 2.22 to 2.23
TAGSETUP.EXE
Typos; My thanx goes to Hugo Voerman for his pretty big list.
(v2.23)
EASTTAG.EXE
The main problem was leaving EASTtag.
On some BBS-es it could take up to 50 seconds.
This was due to a wrong checking routine closing the FILES.RA, the
routine did it's job twice and took up too much time.
Download from Taginfo didn't work, even if the color showed otherwise.
EASTtag didn't aknowledge downloadflags as a restriction on fileareas,
it just recognized the download-levels, now it also works with the flags.
The user will be able to list them (if he/she has the apporpriate level and
flags), but downloading will be impossible and a beep will be the result if
an attempt is made to tag something from it.
If you run EASTtag local you hear the Beep's but with a user on-line
he/she will hear it only.. (a very quiet program)
(v2.22)
If you cannot update your Tagsetup. please delete old EASTTAG.CFG file
and RUN TAGsetup again.. Sorry for this..
Update from v2.18 to v2.22
TAGSETUP.EXE
Paths
The RaPath had been removed since it was obsolete anyway...
Due to a mistake by Andrew Millner CdRom-path was not saved in Ra 2.00Γ.
You can now enter this in Tagsetup.
In EASTtag there is no longer an internal viewer but you can assign
one in Tagsetup. ET_VIEW.EXE is the same as the old internal viewer so...
Site info
The SiteInfo has been removed from tagsetup, it can be read from Config.Ra
It just made it easier to hack EASTtag. -Yuk- ;-))
Here is the a piece from the -Yuk- keygen docfile.
Quote
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nice to know that TAGSETUP already recognizes the key, before you entered
the correct names in the setup. This enables a nice trick for you:
You can use the program in registered mode, but it will display
[UNREGISTERED] to the user side.
Okay... I'm off for some tea now,
Danny K.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And i'm sure he's working on the new keygen right now... ;-)))
If you can get this keygen please check out the registered
features of EASTtag and if you like them please consider REAL registration.
Pwd Keyboard
Installed a keyboard password in Tagsetup, so your little brother can't mess
up your colors any more...
Options
Offline string.
Removed this , because it's now in the language file.
Show offline.
If Yes the user can see offline files when viewing an area or
seaching for a keyword. If set to No he/she never can see offline files.
Tag Offline.
Is a future option and does NOT work in this version yet.
The purpose is that the user can tag offline-files and generate a
'message-to-sysop with it, nifty eh?
Color
File Color
New Color
Is the color for the newfile '*' indicator.
Counter Color
Color of the download '[00]' counter.
Works with <> , () or [] brackets.
If you choose color 0 "Black/Black" the download counter
will not be shown in EASTtag....
Area Color
Areaname has been removed, since it is adjustable in the ETL file.
Info Color
Color 16 in Info Color acted weird, and presented random colors in setup.
It worked ok in EASTtag though...
Other Color
No prompt Color
Color of unavailable options... this used to be a fixed color 8.
But with a different background 'holes' could appear in you statusbar.
Now the color is fully adjustable.
Comment Color
This is the color for NON-ANSI Comments in the FILES.BBS
Used to be white (15) but is now adjustable...
Example
Gives you a general idea of what EASTtag will look like if you
run it with the colors currently selected.
Language
If you run Tagsetup the first time it will convert the LANGUAGE.RA
to a smaller additional LANGUAGE.ET. It contains the info EASTtag
needs from the RAL and ETL files.
It's a static file, so if you choose to alter anything in your LANGUAGE.RA
you must update LANGUAGE.ET too, do this by deleting the old LANGUAGE.ET and
then run tagsetup...
EASTtag Itself ;-))
There has been some complaints about the absent status-bar, it's BACK!!!
But there are some changes as within RA itself, one is that only 1 line (25)
can be used, RA has two..
The status-bar can be changed by pressing Alt-1 thru 6.
Alt-T toggles it on or off completely.
Finaly it done, the dreaded scroll-thru screen at the end is NO MORE!
A lot of users complaint about it and said it was their reason for not
registering EASTtag, so our team plans to go to the Bahamas on all the
registration fees coming in from now on...
(Please register your copy NOW)
File-Attach will only work if the username passed exactly matches the one
in EASTNODE.TAG, if a nodenr. is unavailable the user will be prompted for it
(WARNING! NO check will be made if this nodenr is available in a nodelist!!)
A very BIG bug was removed;
EASTtag never checked for keywords in the + or | lines, but now it does.
It took a lot of re-coding but it should work now.
Time-limit wasn't consequently updated in the Info-menu, so if you stayed
there the time shown wouldn't match the time really left, FIXED.
New are the 'interceptor-keys' while keyword/filename/newfile scanning, if
the user presses [T]ag or [S]top, the option-bar will appear and you can
select whatever you like, pressing [M]ore will continue from the place the
user intercepted the flow in the first place..
Maybe Andrew would like to have this one in RA as well...;-)
EASTtag will no longer run if there is no path given for the TagFile
This usualy resulted in a BBSTAGFL.# in the Root-dir of the drive.
EASTtag will no longer goto the download if there is NO Xferdoor
stated in EASTTAG.CFG
EASTtag will not be able to file-attach if the Netmailpath is not given.
This usualy resulted in a #.MSG in the Root-dir of the drive.
With the use of the new (3.10Γ) version of filedoor is is possible
to use different language files. For this purpose EASTtag will create a
FILEDOOR.XSL with the language used so FILEDOOR will know what to do...
'0' Refresh user screen.
Kinda speaks for itself, refreshes the screen from line-gharbage etc.
[?] Help.
On all option-bars the [?] has been added. Now the user kan finaly see all
the advantages in EASTtag above those off RA_FILES ;-)))
That's It... Good luck
<BERRY>
