Remote Access Sendit from Renegade Software
RASENDIT -- FILE TAG AND SEND
UPGRADE / WHATS-NEW DOCUMENT
as of: 17 Feb 1996
NOTE FOR ALL USERS OF RAUSERS:
------------------------------
RASENDIT keeps the files it needs to operate in the directory pointed
to by your RA environment variable. If there is a particular part of
RASendit not operating correctly and that option requires an external
file then most likely the file needed is not in your RA directory.
Examples are: RASendit.Key, RASendit.Cfg.
RASendit V 1.06 upgrade information
----------------------------------
- THIS VERSION NOW SUPPORTS RA 2.50.G1
*** - For this you must specify the BBS type on the command line for
*** CFGSEND.EXE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY.
IE:
READ ---> Cfgsend 2 = RA 2.50.g1
READ ---> Cfgsend 1 = RA 2.02
*** If you do not specify the bbs type then cfgsend will abort and
*** remind you of this needed parameter !!
- Copy the RASendit.Exe & Cfgsend.Exe over the previous version.
- Changed flag resetting so it works if you are online or local,
version 1.05.1 would fail to reset on local logons not done
thru the bbs.
- Added flag resetting if you delete a send from within Cfgsend
RASendit V 1.05.1 upgrade information
----------------------------------
- Copy the RASendit.Exe & Cfgsend.Exe over the previous version.
- Fixed problem in log where it was written that the file copy/
download was successful & unsuccessful
- FIXED (For Sure) resetting of flag. This is done by flipping the bit
in the Exitinfo.BBS file that RA reads when it re-enters the BBS
after dropping to run RASendit. The Exitinfo will be looked for
in the same directory as the door.sys & Dorinfo1.Def directory
you specify on the command line. This is the normal place for
it to be found. This fix also now fixes the counting of downloads
if you have this feature turned on in the cfgsend.
RASendit V 1.04 upgrade information
----------------------------------
- Copy the RASendit.Exe over the previous version.
**-->> - Run 103to104.exe to convert to the new config file format <<--**
(The following option only works on RemoteAccess or RA compats)
- Added ability to turn on a flag in the usersbase if you send
a user a file. You need to decide if you want to use this. This
ability gives RASENDIT a more seamless integration into RA. To
set it up is easy, just answer Yes or No to using it in the
CfgSend setup program and if to use it the flag to turn on
and off. It works like this: Setup your menu to run RASENDIT
like before but also use the flag you just told CfgSend to
set. Then when the user signs on, if his flag is set then he
has a file waiting and RASENDIT will run. When done RASENDIT
checks the rasendit.dat file to see if the user has anymore
files waiting, if not then the users flag is reset.
- If you are using a previous version RASENDIT then
either turn on the flag you wish to use for this
for all users who have a file waiting or clear
all sends and resend them.
- Changed to default of logname so that now you cen define the path
also. Be sure to do this.
RASendit V 1.03 upgrade information
----------------------------------
- Copy the RASendit.Exe over the previous version.
- Added a Press return to continue after the no files waiting
- Added ability to search the complete filebase for the file
to send or specify a range to look. This helps those with
a huge filebase.
- Added ability to send a file not in the file database
- Now uses Door.Sys or Dorinfo1.Def drop files.
- The directory you specify as the drop file location will be
used. The program will search for door.sys and then a
dorinfo1.def file in that order. The door.sys file is
the prefered drop file because logon time to the program
will be quicker. If a Dorinfo1.def file is used the program
will search the users.bbs file for the users record number
so it will be able to count the downloads if this is set up
in the config file. The users record # is given in a door.sys
drop file.
- Fixed file scanning problem in Cfgsend when the file size of the
index file for an area was Zero (0). Now skips scanning that area
file area for the file.
- Fixed some cosmetic foul-ups
- Added an example of protocols in the sndprot.dat file. Copy this
file to your ra directory and adjust or delete as you want.
- Fixed problem of RASendit.Exe not locating RASendit.Key file if
it exist.
- Added a message to the sysop of a successful file send. Make sure
you put in the message board you want the messages sent to in
CFgSend.Exe Under Message Board. Limited to HMB (Board 1 - 254)
- Fixed local download bug, file was not successfully copied.
RASendit V 1.02 upgrade information
----------------------------------
- Copy the RASendit.Exe over the previous version.
- FIXES a nasty bug that made the protocols not work correctly
- Now requires to command line parameters to operate.
- You must specify the path to Door.Sys as the second
parameter on the command line.
