About ThorTCP Beta 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These software tools provide an easy way receive and send news/mail
using a TCP/IP connection (like AmiTCP, AS225, MLink, etc). Tools are
provided that should satisfy both shell and GUI users.
NOTE: All the executables are compiles for AS225. To use them with
AmiTCP, you will need to install the socket.library emulation library
that is included with Grapevine or can be found on Aminet in comm/net
as socketlib10a.lha.
GetTCP is used for getting mail and news, while SendTCP is used for
sending mail and news that you have written, joining and resigning
newsgroups, etc.
ConnectTHOR is used for integrating these programs into a single
program. It also contain a nice news browser what will let you select
a newsgroup and download only the articles you want be selecting them
from a list with dragselection.
NOTE: These programs are "work in progress" and not all features we
would like to add is present at this time. However, we feel that the
programs are so stable and work so well that they should satisfy most
THOR users.
History
~~~~~~~
Beta 4:
-------
ConnectTHOR:
- Fixed the problem with ConnectTHOR asking for a password upon startup
even though the password had been configured already.
- Fixed the DELETE switch problem once and for all (hopefully).
- MAXDAYS wasn't working correctly, should be fixed now.
- Configured POPPORT will be used.
- Configured background window picture will be used.
- Error messages should be displayed properly.
- Fixed a reference to freed memory when closing the newsbrowse window.
CfgTCP:
- Fixed a crash when quitting when Mungwall was running (used freed
memory).
- Configured background window picture will be used.
- POP port can be configured to something else than 110, if needed.
GetTCP:
- "failure when adding message"-bug fixed. This one would also give
an Enforcer hit.
- Should work better with all kinds of pop hosts.
- Will get the time from the newsserver so local clock will not
be used (this was actually done in beta 3, but left out of the history
file :).
- POP Port can be set on the command line, if started from shell.
- Will exit when password has been entered wrong (when run from shell).
SendTCP:
- Fixed a bug that could make it stop on some SMTP servers.
