BiModem
-------
1. Bimodems timing with combination regular file send and verify send has
been improved.
2. The false NAK errors that were occurring on 2400 baud MNP modems has
been fixed.
3. /A argument added to override the Abort Directory Path
4. /I argument added to point to a new format intercomm log file. The
following new fields were added to the new intercomm record layout:
232-239 8 byte encrypted registered phone #
240-241 Integer # of errors
242-243 Integer File Date
244-245 Integer File Time
246-249 Integer File Size
250-256 Reserved for future use.
5. /J argument added to override the rejection list path.
6. /N argument added to override the sending directory path.
7. /R argument added to override the receiving directory path.
8. 1.22 had a problem because the receiver timed out when sending an
upload file header. This caused 2 good headers to be sent. The second
header would get rejected because a 0 length file had been created
from the first header. BiModem now tests upload headers to make sure
they are not duplicate headers sent due to timeouts. If it's a duplicate
it is ignored.
8. The timeout on the upload header was lengthened. Some systems were
found to have enormous lists of directories to scan for rejections, and
it took these systems a long time to determine if a file was a duplicate
or not. To facilitate these systems we lengthened the timeout value to 30
seconds instead of 10. It's still shorter than it was in 1.20 (it was 40
seconds there). The system I tested this on had hundreds of rejection
directories on a Novel network, and 30 seconds was ample time for it to
check for duplicates.
9. The phone #, estimated time, and estimated CPS is now displayed correctly
when toggling between quiet mode and non-quiet mode (Alt/Q).
10. BiModem will now flag transfer status' as bad (aborted) for files that
terminate due to timeout or bad disk reads or writes.
11. Once again we had to increase security because of a known hacker program.
Anyone knowing the author of BiFix.Exe and wishing to testify against
him should contact Erik Labs. This constant hacker deterring is costing
both Erik Labs and you the user of BiModem.
Support Pograms
---------------
1. Binstall now retains the correct dates on the programs/files it installs.
2. BiMenu also supports the /A,/I,/J,/N,/R arguments and passes them on to
BiModem.
