Short: Free update to AExplorer 2.02 Author: info@cloanto.com (Cloanto) Uploader: info@cloanto.com (Cloanto) Type: biz/cloan Distribution: Only Cloanto, Aminet and Aminet CD-ROM CLOANTO SOFTWARE UPDATE FILES BEING UPDATED - AExplorer (Amiga side) INSTALLATION - Automatic (requires Installer to be available on system) DESCRIPTION This update set transforms the "AExplorer" v. 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 Amiga program file to the corresponding version 2.02 file. This update only upgrades the server side of the software, i.e. the Amiga side. Some of the very first Amiga Forever 2.0 units shipped had a floppy disk which was duplicated before the CD-ROM went into production. On these disks, the "AExplorer" program file is functionally identical with the final file on CD, but has a few differences in the file itself. If this upgrade procedure displays a message indicating that the Amiga Explorer 2.0 program file cannot be upgraded, then please install and upgrade the "AExplorer" file from the CD-ROM ("AF_Disk" directory), rather than the one on the floppy disk. This version of the Amiga side (server) software is compatible with clients v. 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 2.02, and is designed to offer current levels of functionality to future clients as well. HISTORY Version 1.0 was the first version released. Version 1.1 introduced increased performance, and solved a bug whereas in certain configurations, after a timeout, the Amiga side of the software could crash. It also fixed a potential problem with certain serial port settings, where the Amiga side could send more data than the client could handle. Version 1.1 introduced a new option to create a log file, useful to track and report problems. Version 2.0 provided additional functionality, used by version 2.0 and higher of Windows clients. Version 2.02 solves a possible timeout problem when deleting and moving very large Amiga files, and introduces support for features which will be used by future versions of Amiga Explorer clients.
