Short: Patches Spot 1.2c to 1.2d (exec. only) author: nico@augfl.be uploader: we45030@is1.vub.ac.be (Wim Peeters) type: comm/fido ______ __ / ____/ _/ /_ / /___ ______ ______ / __/ /___ // __ // __ / / / ___/ // /_/ // /_/ / / /_ /_____// ____//_____/ /___/ / / /_/ Spot 1.2d A FidoNet tosser/editor for the Amiga Copyright (C) 1993-1994 Nico François Changes in Spot 1.2d: Bug fix: import routine would abort completely if an error occured (for example a bad packet). It will now only abort if the user aborts the progress requester. Warning: small catalog change! Import routine will write an extra line (containing the offset) to the log file if an error occurs reading a packet. Improved handling of bad packets and ability to try and find a new message header after a bad message was encountered. It is now less likely Spot will skip the message right after a bad message (in a bad packet). Made Spot a bit smarter when it tries to find quotes starting with a ':'. It will no longer consider a smiley ':-)' as a quote for example ;-) Lines starting with '|' are no longer recognized as a quote unless there is a '>' character following it. Changed maximum origin line limit from 80 characters to 79 characters. Spot will no longer place your 3D address in the `PATH:' kludge. If your boss has a problem with this change use any ASCII editor and add a `PATH3D' line to the `MAIL:Spot.prefs' file just after the ADDRESS line of the boss in question. Spot will set the protection bits of saved files to `RW-D'. Spot will now automatically update the file requester buffer when saving message from the message list. Previously it only did so from the message window. Note: this is a ReqTools only feature. I had a report of Spot sometimes changing the gateway name and address when editing a message. I could not reproduce this, but have changed some code to prevent this happening. I hope this is now fixed :) Spot will no longer quote `\\reflow' lines if you reply to a message written by yourself. ARexx command `quitspot' no longer returns 100 causing ARexx scripts to abort. Bug fix: matrix reply to a message written by yourself now works properly (silly thing to do in the first place ;). ARexx commands `importedarea', `unreadarea' and `unrepliedarea' will now return 1 if the current area is the last area matching the appropriate condition. New ARexx commands: `gettimewritten' and `gettimearrived'. Separators can now be highlighted. Use a `!' as the first (or only) character of the name of a separator bar. If this feature is used in combination with `>' and `=' (for positioning the name) the `!' must be positioned as the very first charachter, before the justification indicator. When exporting Spot will now always set the originating address of messages in a packet to the same net/node as in the packet header. In combination with `FAKEFTS1' this should help some people having trouble with fakenets. Improved error checking of export routine. If the packer fails Spot will export the current messages to `...0.OUT' in the outbound directory. Removed unnecessary saving of all area settings after every export. Fixed enforcer hits that occured when importing mail in iconified state. When editing a message and using `Cancel...' Spot will now ask if you want to cancel the changes (instead of canceling the message). This is more accurate. Warning: catalog change! Bug fix: keypad `0' and Space did not work in empty areas. Bug fix: Shift-Ins on keypad no longer works in read only areas. Changed subject linking algorithm (used if MSGID/REPLY kludges are missing). The old algorithm would sometimes link messages together with a completely different subject. Bug fix: Spot will no longer generate an invalid config file if an area name or alias contains a `*' or `"'. New keyboard shortcuts: Control Space and Control keypad `0' will proceed immediately to the next message (without scrolling). ARexx commands `import', `export', `maintenance' and `optimize' have a new `ACTIVATE' switch. Crashing a message to a point who is in your nodelist (and has a phone number different from his boss) will create a proper `.CUT' file for that point in your outbound. Spot will now make sure the packet header password is padded with 0x00. Spot will now accept numeric digits in quote indicators. Text after some uuencoded data would not be reflowed if the uuencoded data ended with a 'size' line. Included ReqTools 2.2 (38.1194) release. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 632 284 55.0% 04-Oct-93 19:43:08 Spot12dPatch.info 129 99 23.2% 14-Jan-94 23:16:14 Spot12dPatch/DoPatch 466 244 47.6% 04-Oct-93 19:43:04 Spot12dPatch/DoPatch.info 17772 10693 39.8% 14-Jun-93 00:00:00 Spot12dPatch/spatch 92148 60570 34.2% 14-Jan-94 23:14:48 Spot12dPatch/Spot12d.pch 4718 2091 55.6% 14-Jan-94 23:17:18 Spot12dPatch/Spot_1.2d.readme 437 233 46.6% 04-Oct-93 19:43:04 Spot12dPatch/Spot_1.2d.readme.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 116302 74214 36.1% 20-Jan-94 13:18:12 7 files
