Update to version 4.51
----------------------
This file gives a brief description of the new features added to version
4.46 to create version 4.51.
1. The mouse action for the 'word grab' facility has been altered, you must
now DOUBLE CLICK the mouse 'select' button on the word.
2. The mouse action for the 'line grab' facility has been altered, you must
now 'PRESS AND HOLD' the mouse select button on the line in the rx
window. The line will appear in the tx window after a short delay, this
can then be eddited and sent.
3. An IGNORE: script command has been added, this can be used to prevent
reading back the messages you have uploaded. Alternatively it can be used
so messages to/from certain callsigns are ignored. Further details are
provided below.
4. Message marking has been changed slightly, now the +/- mark for messages
to be read does not have to be placed at the 6th character location, it
can be placed after the message number anywhere from the 1st to 8th
character location. This allows message numbers up to 7 digits to be
marked!
5. Text and data files dragged from applications such as !Edit can now be
larger than 8Kbytes. !ComLink will now use the scrap file method of data
transfer to sen the complete file. Files smaller than 8K will be
transferred using memory.
6. Assorted obscure and minor bug fixes have been made!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IGNORE:<text>|<num>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose: Makes SCANLIST: ignore lines containing <text> at position <num>.
Use: This comand can be used so that a SCANLIST: will ignore lines that have
the specified text at a certain character position in a line.
Typically this would be used to prevent your own uploaded messages being
read back during the READ: command.
Assume the following snippet of a script is executed:-
...
IGNORE:G7ALN|31
TYPE:L
SCANLIST:G7ALN:ARCHIM
READ:
...
If the list returned by the BBS is say:-
MsgNo TS Size To At From Date Subject
60008 B$ 1221 G7ALN GBR G4NZK 07-Mar New !ComLink is brill!
60007 B$ 1245 ARCHIM GBR G7ALN 07-Mar !ComLink 4.51 out now!
60006 B$ 1245 ALL GBR G1IVG 07-Mar G7ALN
1 2 3
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 <-- character positions
There is a G7ALN starting at character position 31 in message 60007 so
it will not be read by the READ command, despite the fact that the message
otherwise meets the ARCHIM and G7ALN search strings in the SCANLIST command.
Examples: IGNORE:ALL|17
IGNORE:EU|24
