Short: NNTP/SMTP/POP tools for THOR 2.01 Author: Kjell Irgens/Petter Nilsen (thor@hstud6.cs.uit.no) Uploader: Petter Nilsen (pettern@powertech.no) Type: comm/mail ------------------==================================------------------ 950725 ThorTCP Beta 4 Requires AmigaDOS 2.04 (V37) and THOR 2.01 previously installed. Copyright © 1995 Ultima Thule Software, All Rights Reserved. Authors: Kjell Irgens & Petter Nilsen (thor@hstud6.cs.uit.no) ------------------==================================------------------ About ThorTCP Beta 4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These software tools provide an easy way receive and send news/mail using a TCP/IP connection (like AmiTCP, AS225, MLink, etc). Tools are provided that should satisfy both shell and GUI users. NOTE: All the executables are compiles for AS225. To use them with AmiTCP, you will need to install the socket.library emulation library that is included with Grapevine or can be found on Aminet in comm/net as socketlib10a.lha. GetTCP is used for getting mail and news, while SendTCP is used for sending mail and news that you have written, joining and resigning newsgroups, etc. ConnectTHOR is used for integrating these programs into a single program. It also contain a nice news browser what will let you select a newsgroup and download only the articles you want be selecting them from a list with dragselection. NOTE: These programs are "work in progress" and not all features we would like to add is present at this time. However, we feel that the programs are so stable and work so well that they should satisfy most THOR users. History ~~~~~~~ Beta 4: ------- ConnectTHOR: - Fixed the problem with ConnectTHOR asking for a password upon startup even though the password had been configured already. - Fixed the DELETE switch problem once and for all (hopefully). - MAXDAYS wasn't working correctly, should be fixed now. - Configured POPPORT will be used. - Configured background window picture will be used. - Error messages should be displayed properly. - Fixed a reference to freed memory when closing the newsbrowse window. CfgTCP: - Fixed a crash when quitting when Mungwall was running (used freed memory). - Configured background window picture will be used. - POP port can be configured to something else than 110, if needed. GetTCP: - "failure when adding message"-bug fixed. This one would also give an Enforcer hit. - Should work better with all kinds of pop hosts. - Will get the time from the newsserver so local clock will not be used (this was actually done in beta 3, but left out of the history file :). - POP Port can be set on the command line, if started from shell. - Will exit when password has been entered wrong (when run from shell). SendTCP: - Fixed a bug that could make it stop on some SMTP servers. -------- PS: Please report any problems to thor@hstud6.cs.uit.no (THOR team) The authors can also reached at the following ways: Kjell Irgens: email: kjelli@stud.cs.uit.no IRC #amiga: Trooper1 Petter Nilsen: email: pettern@powertech.no IRC #amiga: Mitchman ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 276 56.0% 10-Jul-95 00:14:54 ThorTCPBeta.info 15780 7713 51.1% 24-Jul-95 20:38:30 +CfgTCP 48224 25598 46.9% 25-Jul-95 10:34:42 +ConnectTHOR 984 522 46.9% 21-Jul-95 04:27:54 +ConnectTHOR.info 27792 15322 44.8% 25-Jul-95 10:34:38 +GetTCP 15052 8525 43.3% 25-Jul-95 09:26:08 +SendTCP 370 248 32.9% 25-Jul-95 10:09:50 +InstallTCP 1233 503 59.2% 10-Jul-95 01:22:06 +InstallTCP.info 44536 24222 45.6% 24-Jul-95 18:49:16 +utgui.library 11388 4747 58.3% 25-Jul-95 10:43:10 +README.FIRST 477 259 45.7% 10-Jul-95 05:29:50 +README.FIRST.info 310 211 31.9% 23-Jun-95 05:31:42 +cfgtcp -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 166774 88146 47.1% 26-Jul-95 11:33:54 12 files
