Those of you currently running a version of Jammail, please send me a message with your current wish list and i'll see what I can do. Please send me a message with any wishes about the new Jammail1. I am doing a completely new GUI so any changes you'd like to the editor, now is the time to tell me! Changes - March 17, 1994 - Oops, bad wplemsi.library went out.. shit its fixed now. (gotta love it when people request things *WHILE* they're being worked on :-) Changes - March 16, 1994 - Official bugreport.txt added. Please use this when mailing me bug reports. - New JamTool included. This one is *MUCH* faster with the AKA lookups than previous versions. - New JamScan included. I think i've found the problem with the random GURU's with JamScan on some systems.. This is .58. It supports patterns on the destination addresses. I'd like a few systems to report back to me on how well it works before I fully update the documentation for it. To use the routing, do something like this: route (1|2|3|4|5|6).#?.#?.#? Fidonet#*:*/*.* lzh crash route (39|40|41).#?.#?.#? AmigaNet#*:*/*.* lha crash This type of setup, would route addressed with the mentioned zones to their correct domain. any systems you want done differently (than LHA/Crash) then you need to list them beforehand. - more work on xpremsi.library. Should work better. Changes - March 12, 1994 - outbound EMSI should always work now. - minor tweeks here and there. Changes - March 7, 1994 - little more tweeking with wplemsi.library. - version string changed for the welcome banner. Changes - March 6, 1994 - New JamMail1-preview program. Massive changes to most list-views, and the scheduler screens have actually been done. - Adding Ymodem as an additional available protocol. This is usefull for systems that may have flow-control problems. It is positioned between Zmodem and ZedZap. If someone is having flow control problems, they should disable DirectZap and ZedZap. Ymodem will be the highest priority EMSI protocol, so mail from other systems supporting Ymodem will hopefully be more reliable. Zmodem/ZedZip should still be left on as other systems will be using it. The XprYmodem.library file is included if you don't have it. If you are low on space or ram, simply disable the protocol and delete the file. This protocol is simply a little extra that some systems may find handy. - The "Write Setup" menu option, lists the librarys that JamMail uses or doesn't use, and it will tell you if your inbound or outbound directory does not exist. - New WPL.Library included in the archive. This one has no debugging in it at all. Along with a clean compiled wplemsi.library, things should be debugging free. - Massive work on the JamMail1 gui and new JTPhone gui. Hopefully i'll have a new JTPhone out soon. Changes - February 26 - Added launch code for MEBBSNet BBS. - Added configurable switch to make JamMail ignore possible error codes from the BBS making JamMail hangup irrelevent of some error happening. - Fixed readconfig code, that wasn't allowing multiple BBS Launch commands. Changes - Feb 25 - AHHAHAHARGHRGHG I screwed up. The last two archives (the 25th, and the 18th) likely still had all of the EMSI debugging turned on. So if you were using the internal serial port and weren't running SUSHI you'd have no prayor trying to get an EMSI session. Changes - February 24 - Not much happening in the way of this JamMail. I'm trying to get a bit going with the new Preview version. The Preview binary in here is the same as the Feb 18th version. - There has been some reported problems with the new JamScan56 binary on some machines, with it causing a GURU. IF this does happen, go back to version 55 (the jamscan055.lha archive is available on my system, and many others). - I've done a *LOT* of work on the JamMail1-preview manual. this one won't go out until JamMail1 itself does since the description of the software, is relative to the new GUI version of the software, and some options are in different locations. - Possibly fixed UUCP/UUCP2 sessions to use any and all versions of UUCICO, by adding the -Getty switch on outbound calls as well. As far as I know, they all worked fine for inbound calls, but should work for outbound as well now. Changes - February 18 - Gotta love it when I forget to update the .readme :-) - tweeks and changes in various areas of the system. I can't remember what all I changed. - JamScan now allows upto 200 config lines. Previously it was 50 and I just hit that myself :-) - JamTool has been updated to use a much faster method to do the EMSI AKA lookups. A new JamTool archive has been sent out as well. - All of the AKA/Remote Changes menu options are valid for outbound EMSI sessions as well (ie, directories, system names), and EMSI itself can now be disabled (previously it could not be disabled). - you can now set an option to abort on a CTRL-C in one of the modem windows. You need to press ctrl-c twice for it to work however. I'm going to see if I can do anything about this. Changes - February 6 - Missing Label Error for Fax sessions fixed (DoDial4.4) Changes - Feburary 2 - 5 - Lots of cleaning up of wplemsi.library. - EMSI_REQ banner for receiving calls is now hidden to human callers. ( sent with no linefeed). - other tweeks with the jammail.wpl file. - two digit "hex" Product ID is sent in EMSI banner, although since WPL is 07, it didn't make much difference :-) Changes - February 1 - Fixed up wplemsi.library. I wasn't verifying the EMSI CRC's because of a UBYTE problem that I had fixed, but hadn't enabled the CRC checking again. Changes - January 31 - There's been a few strange hangups during XprZedZap file transfers. There is a possibility this is related to Yves's version of the library. If this problem continues, I am going back to Russ's version of the library that does not support DirectZap. You will be able to pickup Yves' library seperately if you wish, but I will not be including the library capable of DirectZap unless the bug is found. Changes - January 30 - *SHIT* right after making up the archive, I found a bug I introduced yesterday in the wplemsi.library. The host.sitename was not being sent. No major problem, people just didn't know what the system name was that was calling them :-) Changes - January 28 - Cleaning up for an update to the 1210 and 1216 and archives. - changed name of xpremsi.library to wplemsi.library (since no other xpr host can use the library right now). - removed my getline2 function (for string editing) since it was causing problems, and the new GUI version of JamMail won't be using any of this stuff anyways. For people that need to edit some of the really long strings like possibly your EMSI AKA string, use a regular text editor to edit the s:Jammail.cfg file, but be carefull not to change anything else. When you run JamMail to read in that file (and to generate the mailer), make sure that string was read in correctly). Changes - January 24 - Fixing up Collision detection with replycall and forward call stuff. Changes - January 23 - 18 - Various fixing up relating to EMSI - Inbound EMSI was "finished" sometime in here. Changes - January 17 - Fixed few minor bugs relating to not having any AKA's or MenuFiles configured (it was defaulting at having something). - Finished LogWindow menu. Changes - January 16 - Window editing displays are fixed up a bit (displays size and upper left corner instead of raw:x/y/x1/y2 format). - asynchronously launching bbs's :-) - Completely re-vamped input routine. Insertion and cursor keys (left/ right) now work. Changes - January 15 - The version number is now automatically being updated (i'm lazy:-) - Added NoDrag/NoSize and BackDrop options to LogWindows menu. *ALL* windows will have these options (except xpr transfer windows will not have backdrop option); - Now generating S:Setup batch file. Logfile and LogWindow are now configurable and written in this file. The LDPhoneLog is also configurable and written in the setup script. Changes - January 14 - Added Modem Banging config. 3 choices. Soft, Medium and Hard. This selects which string will be sent to the modem after every session to get control of the modem back (ie, until an OK response is received). NullModem.Device does not support the Hard banging type. The Soft is basically an AT, the Medium is an ATZ and the Hard is an AT&F. If you previously had the Medium or Hard in your Init string, you don't need it any long if you use it here. - All protocol selection code is generated only if needed. If you don't want ZedZap used, no inbound or outbound zedzap code is written to the .wpl file. - Init and Attention modem strings lengthened to 60 characters. Changes - January 13 - Added DirectZap support for outbound EMSI sessions. (I think !? :-) - Cleaning up inbound Fidonet sessions now. WaZoo and EMSI protocol selection is now done the same way as the way i'm doing it for outbound protocols. Now all we need, is Inbound EMSI support. Changes - January 12th, 94 - more internal cleaning Changes - January 11th - My USHayes V.FC 28.8k modem arrived. I'm going to change the (TIME) response type to a simple (LOG) response, so anything that has this response type will simply be logged. Nothing else special is done with anything that matches. Also, the response type (LOG) will not be put on the end of the line (like RING and others is done). - All outbound Fidonet session code re-done. It is now easy to add new protocols to WaZoo or EMSI sessions. - Protocols available are now configurable in Fidonet -> Other menu. - Re-write of alot of the outbound dialing sequence. Collision detection is now much better (theoretically!). - Additional internal ModemInit added to mailer. Cleans up alot of possible junk that could happen before main INIT was done after a dial/session. Changes - January 10th - Still cleaning internals & sources Changes - January 9th - Massive cleanup of internal JamMail code. - You can now only select Handshaking methods for your Aka's that are turned on by default. Changes - January 8th - Added UUCP2 session type. You may want to have two different sets of UUCICO options, one for regular systems, and one for systems that can handle larger block sizes and faster sessions. JTPhone will be updated to handle this as well. - I think inbound FAX reception has been fixed. Thanks to Todd Vierling for the code. Changes - January 6th - The AddModem fuction should actuall add the correct defaults for the modem you select. - Actually fixed the defaults for Nullmodem.device lines. - Included the CNet BBS launch string as default #3. Since it is only a single command line, the command line is actually placed in the launch string so you can see it (the DLG and VBBS launch commands are more than one line, so are just generated in your mailer). Changes - January 5th - Oops, I haven't been making my entries! - Full outbound EMSI is now being done (actually, it was done before my Xmas vacation, but I didn't mention it here :-) - Scheduler timeouts now have a maximum of 9999 seconds instead of 255. - Init timeout value is now configurable for each line (wasn't configurable at all previously). - Pre-fido bug reported in wpl-programmer fixed. - inbound and outbound directory prompts actually add '/' character if not already there. -------- Happy New year guys! Changes - December 15 - Back to EMSI work. Now actually attempting to do WPL variable handling from inside XprEMSI.library. - latest Wpl.Library included in archive now. - Fixes RexxMsg bug. Changes - December 8 - Completely cleaned random "OK" messages popping up in log messages that come back from modems that take a long time to init (ie, slow 2400 with an AT&F in the init string). Changes - December 5 - Still playing with EMSI (not included in this archive) - New security option added to JamTool/JamMail. This makes sure people aren't using the nice escape sequences possible in the execute commands in either the main login menu, or the freq server name input routine. Changes - December 3 - Due to the Mad hacker - i've cleaned up a few input routines that could have been used to do nasty things. Changes - December 1 - Fixed timeout in ModemInit routine that was causing "OK" results to show up in the main log window with extreamly slow modems (slow at resetting if you did an ATZ as your init/atten string). - Setting the current modem to 300bps before dialing NRC systems for better compatibility with different modems attempting to do the connection. Changes - November 22-25 - Working on outbound EMSI support. This stuff will not be included in the current archive, but this is to let you know what i'm working on. Inbound EMSI will be added after outbound is done. Changes - November 21 - problem with "-ListConfig" command was causing a guru after startup of JamMail. The command has been removed since it was only being used for debugging purposes anyways. Changes - November 19 - Now including JamScan and JamTool in the JamMail archive along with their respective documentation files. Changes - November 18 - Lots of work done on the Documentation. Completed the FidoNet configs area (updated to the new menu set), and added the Login Menu section. - archive is now named in the "JamMailDDMM.Lha" style, with the day and month. Changes - November 17 - Re-structuring menu system - Fidonet options are cleaned up, the documentation will be a little wrong during this time. The Privacy modes are now a single option in the "Login Menu" that selects each of the options in order. Cleaning up the code that uses these settings as well. - The inbound and outbound directory selections were moved to the Fidonet configs menu. - privacy variables removed, more cleaning up. Changes - November 16 - Call script included. You can set the Execute bit on this script or have an alias that executes it. This command will take a single parameter (an address, or portion of a FTN address) and it will add that system to the scheduler dial list. - Due to this change with the scheduler, when call collisions occur, calls are forwarded back to the scheduler in hopes that the call being attempted can be sent to another line (if this is a multi-line system). - Finally updated TODO: list. Most of it had been done! Changes - November 15 - Scheduler slave (message port "JAMMAIL") now accepts call commands. After it scans for systems in Xferq (and UUSPOOL: if configured to do so), it will check to see if a call command has been sent to it. If a call has been received, that system is added to the top of the ToDial list, and it will be dialed first. Only one call command per scan will be added. It is recommended that you use an alias like: Alias Call run nil: rx "Address 'JAMMAIL' 'Call []'" to do manual dials. If you wish the call to be done immediately (assuming it is in a waitloop), send a Ctrl-F (Timeout) to the slave right after you send the Dial. (You could have the CALL Alias execute a script that does both). Changes - November 10 - The scheduler accounting system now does not operate on "TERM" type dials, so it does not dial less often to these systems if they are busy. - One Note: currently, UUCP dials (systems looked up in the UUSPOOL: directory, don't use this system either). Anything that uses Xferq (other than TERM types) does. Changes - November 7 - Fixed a couple windows up. The introduction of Public Screens wasn't completely finished :-) Changes - November 4 - Bug fix - the system wasn't allowing the situation where the user didn't have any AKA's configured. It defaulted to having one, which caused problems with the written script. Changes - October 31 - Working with Scheduler/JamTool. Added everything to JamMail.wpl scripts for the new sheduler accounting system (dialing less often if the system is down, busy etc..). - JamTool Env: variables are now in a Sub-directory, clearing your Env: directory a bit (ToDial variables). Changes - October 25 - Added ability to run JamMail on a Public Screen. You still need to edit the s:setup and s:setup.cli scripts to move the "setup" and the main Logwindow to this screen as well. I will likely generate these two scripts inside JamMail in a future version. - Due to the above fact, and that I wanted to run a 1 bitplane screen, there is now an option to turn off the colors that I was using in past versions. Likely i'll enhance this in the future to use more colors when its in color mode. - Both of these changes are in the Main Logging options menu for lack of a better location. - Set internal window defaults to be more usable by "regular" users. - Using Custom input routine for getting Modem Stats window specs. Changes - October 16 - Minor tweeks, Optimizer option turned on. Changes - October 5 - fixed bug in ReadAnswer() function (reads part of the config file), where it wasn't changing the variable that was the number of files you had configured for the login menu. Changes - September 23 - 29 - minor tweeks and twitches. Nothing major - just toying around. Playing a bit with various things. Changes - September 22 - Fixed up scheduler. New Option: Ctrl-D in scheduler window starts your wait delay over again. Wait delay is now shown in window. After each session (inbound or outbound) this wait is started over again, and the scheduler loop is reset. This means that if you had 6 sites to dial, and you connected to the 3rd one, the loop would start again, do a scan, and you'd have 5 sites to dial. This also stops the collision where a site calls in, and he had been further down in your dial list, and you dial this person, even though you don't have mail for them anymore. - suggested timeout values are 60 between scans and 10 between dials. Changes - September 21 - installed nullmodem.device so I now have a second line (sorta) to play with. allows me to login to my own system without using both phone lines. - problems with scheduler that had been screwed up a bit since I've only been running one line for the last month or so. Changes - September 20 - problem with new wpl.library - changed call command to wait for reply. - will fix this for multi-line scheduler later on. Single line users won't care. Changes - September 19 - new version of wpl.library installed - put signal slave commands back into the system. - created new jammail.test file. Most binaries are put in the bin/ directory. The jammail.wpl and jammail.cfg files are now located in S: as are the setup and setup.cli scripts. Changes - September 16 - still working on documentation. - starting on documentation of File request support - its going to be a real pain! Changes - September 12 - Starting on real documentation. Changes - September 11 - fixed a bug in the Menu Files menu where you enter the command name. it was allowing filenames longer than the array size. This is now extended to 20 characters. - Finishing up JamToolPhoneBook. - Added range delete mode. Changes - September 8-10 - Massive work on Jamtool - New Lookup routines with JamTool - JamTool Phonebook Editor introduced. Changes - September 5 - NRC Dialing fully setup and working. - Finished Config file. Changes - September 4 - Fixed NRC calling. It is now a Jamtool.phone entry. NRC options in the menu will be stripped down to only the necessities. It is recommended that you list the flags for your NRC entry as being 300, and then set yourself up a dialing string based on a Flag of #?300#?. This would then be the string to force your modem down to 300bps. I am using AT&n25&k0dt with my ZyXEL. This turns off all compression, and selects BELL 103. - Found problem with 300bps connections. Response orders changed in internal modem definitions. The "CONNECT" response string must be listed after all other connect type responses that you want to support. "CONNECT " (with trailing space) is used for the FIND type, and a "CONNECT FAX" or some such thing is good. They must be before "CONNECT" as it will match the others. Changes - September 3 - Due to having to work on Gordon a bit, i've been a tad busy, but i'm back at it! - Config file is now readable! ****************************************************** - Changes from March to August 93 Deleted - ****************************************************** Note: You *MUST* be running SUSHI or have a terminal connected to your internal serial port to use the current debugging versions of wpl.library and xferq.library. Unless otherwise stated, you will be running debug versions of the librarys if you got them with this archive. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TODO: - Documentation! - Long distance calling window - "DIRECT" mail during ZMH type of thing but specific to certain days, and not every ZMH. - open logproc logs in JamMail.Wpl. Possibly even an additional "pop-up" log window for each line. - built in "Point" configuration - main menu option, reconfigures whole system with "point" type values. Tells user which settings to manually change. - Audio inbound/outbound file announcement option (configurable messages). - Seperate "session" log. Only logs address, and session times (connect, disconnect and session time). - ability to launch .wpl scripts from commands input on login menu. - Auto-window location generator (calculates "good looking" locations for log/session/scheduler windows). ---- Way Way Future TODO list - Outbound Fax dialing - requires me to have GPFax or some other piece of fax software (looking at ElCheapoFax).
