Some of the main features: o Support for multiple offline formats, including QWK, HIPPO, ABBS and MBBS. o Flexible message database system with true history, message marking, searching and threading. o User name database with a fast look-up table of names. o Powerful internal full screen editor with macro, ARexx and PGP support. o Extensive ARexx support with several included scripts. o Support for ISO, IBM, NO7, SF7 and DE7 international character sets. o Supports new 3.0 features (newlook menus, memory pools, interleaved screens, 24 bit palette,....) o Copyback and write-through file buffering system. o Powerful purging system with Global settings for days and/or number of messages to keep. Each conference can also have separate settings. o Everything can be controlled from the keyboard. o All events (orders) can be edited freely after having been entered. o LogReader, a powerful logfile analyzer program for NComm, Term and UUCP logs is included. LogReader is made by Torge Hjorth of Nocturnal Holiday Software. NEW FEATURES This maintainance release requires that THOR12.lha is already installed. THOR12.lha is available in the same directory on AmiNet as this release. This release replaces the THOR121u.lha file. Some of the changes from release 1.06 - 1.21:: o Full ARexx support. o AmigaGuide online help. o Fast database Search. o 3-10 times speed-up in disk access. o Support for multiple character sets. o Internal editor runs as a seperate cli prosess o Support for HIPPO o 10 new commands for marking messages SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AmigaOS Release 2.04 (V37+) or higher, and minimum 400K of free memory.
