Greetings from Gerald
The changes since WinPack V5.4 ->
New Features and Improvements
-----------------------------
1. BPQ application number can be changed by editing PACKET.INI.
The default is application '1' (BBS/PMS) but you can now use
a different application number and enable connection to WinPack
via an option on the "APPLICATIONS" line of BPQCFG.TXT.
2. The use of shortcut keys (Ctrl_F1, etc.) extended to the edit
window.
3. Address book automatically searched when the callsign field is
filled in when writing mail.
4. The program can be setup to automatically minimize itself after
a period of inactivity. You use "MINIMIZE_TIME" in the [TERMINAL]
section of PACKET.INI.
5. Print option added to the File menu. Previously it was only
available from the tool bar.
6. WinPack can now be setup so that, after FBB compressed forwarding
has been used, it sends an "FQ" to the BBS rather than doing a
hard disconnect, the disconnect is instead initiated by the BBS.
To enable this, run this new version, close it down and then edit
PACKET.INI. look for the "SEND_FQ=FALSE" entry in the [FBB]
section and change it to "TRUE". This should fix the problem that
occurs with connections via KAM nodes causing a "protocole error"
message on the BBS every time WinPack disconnects.
Bug Fixes
---------
1. If a bull topic longer than 6 characters is input, it is now
truncated.
2. The SSID wasn't encoded properly in BPQ unprotos. Only an SSID of
'0' would actually work. Now fixed.
3. Arguments to programs RUN from a script were corrupted.
4. A hot key was duplicated on the Options menu.
