14-July-1994

With  the  addition  of some new code in version 1.36 of Quick Silver, you must
first  run  the ConvertAcct.rexx script before running the new version of Quick
Silver.  The script only requires the path to your accounting directory.

Example:  RX ConvertAcct.rexx QSilver:Accounts

This  script will just convert the format of the dates stored in the accounting
files  from  "19  Jun  1994"  to  "19940619"  to  enable  date checking for the
DEFAULTSEND keyword.  You only need to run this script once.

Also,  the  format for the command line needed to call Quick Silver has changed
with  the  addition  of  the BAUDMAX keyword.  Even though this feature is only
available  to registered users, Quick Silver still expects to see the baud rate
of  the  caller in the command line.  It will also display this baudrate in the
local  reply  message.

Quick  Silver  will  also  scan  all presented AKAs until it finds a known AKA.
This  is  to  allow  nodes  that  do not use their Fidonet node number as their
primary  address  to  still  be  able to request files from you if you have the
NOUNLISTED option enabled.

You must now call Quick Silver with a few additional arguments:

QSILVER [input file] [output file] [config file] "[caller AKAs]" [baud] [name]

For TrapDoor 1.80/1.83 usage:  QSILVER %i %o [config file] \"%n\" %B %S

For TrapDoor 1.84/1.85 usage:  QSILVER %i %o [config file] \"%n %A\" %B %S
