Short: New fast areafix for TrapToss Author: metin@stepout.tynet.sub.org (Metin Savignano) Uploader: andre@melior.s.bawue.de (Andre Schenk) Type: comm/fido Idefix is a new fast and reliable areafix for TrapToss. This is the first public pre-release. It is not a final release, but intended for feedback to the author from anyone interested in using it. Nonetheless, it has been beta-tested on several machines and found to work reliable. No bugs are known. Features currently available: - Works tightly and comfortably with TrapToss. - Well beta-tested on several Amiga systems. - Optionally backs up your TrapToss.cfg before any modifications are done. - LIST, QUERY, UNLINKED, and HELP may be requested either as % commands, or as subject shortcuts. - Remote maintenance using %FROM supported. - Supports area access restrictions. - Supports areas that downlinks MUST subscribe to. - Automatically forwards requests for areas that you do not yet carry to the appropriate feed, and adds them to your config as pass-thru. - Automatically detaches pass-thru areas from your feed, if the last downlink detaches from them. - Supports both, separate configuration files, or the global configuration file concept (GCF), as in fido.cfg. - Obtains as much information as possible from TrapToss's config file, keeping you from configuring the same stuff in a dozen different files. - Designed with hardly any built-in limit, all resources are dynamically requested, if and when they are required. - Automatically uses your appriopriate AKA for the reply. - Remote maintenance for other downlinks using %FROM. - And some more nice features. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 43804 22905 47.7% 17-Jun-95 20:40:48 +Idefix 3271 942 71.2% 17-Jun-95 20:40:50 +Beta_Info.txt 2928 698 76.1% 17-Jun-95 20:40:50 +BugReport.txt 207 168 18.8% 17-Jun-95 20:40:50 +Idefix.changes 479 272 43.2% 17-Jun-95 20:40:50 +Idefix.limits 27144 10254 62.2% 17-Jun-95 20:40:50 +Idefix.man 2247 727 67.6% 17-Jun-95 20:40:50 +Register.txt 1137 602 47.0% 26-May-95 20:36:10 +Idefix.cfg 3479 1458 58.0% 22-Nov-94 16:27:58 +Idefix.help -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 84696 38026 55.1% 10-Jul-95 14:00:44 9 files
