Revision History: 2.30 - 4/30/94 - Major revision (public release) Revised bltcap2 to use an initialization file. This eliminates the need to edit the script directly. Re-wrote the @icom.scr install script to be a generic installer. This really speeds up creating a new version. 2.20 - 04/28/94 - Minor revision (internal release) Modified the Check_Version code. Fixed the use of the newarea command. Verified that 2.01B6 had indeed resolved a while/endwhile bug. Changed the format of this file from a changes document to a revision log. Changes since 2.00 1) Bltcap2 now properly checks which beta version is being used. Since it won't work properly with anything less than 2.01B4, this was a necessary modification. 2) In order to handle multiple BBS's with the same script, the logic has been modified. The BBS variable initialization has been moved into a subroutine with the same label as the BBS's BIF name. When bltcap2 executes, it does a 'gosub $BIF_NAME' which assigns the BBS specific variables for the current BIF. 3) The @icom script has been modified to detect old versions of bltcap2 and grep and will automatically rename them with the extension ".old". Changes since version 1.x: Since bltcap2 is a complete re-write, everything's changed ;-). However, here are some of the major new features compared to version 1.x. 1) Bltcap2 is entirely script based. Version 1 relied on a 'C' program to search for new bulletins and then generate a custom script. Bltcap2 uses the support script grep.scr to search for the new bulletins and takes advantage of Icom's powerful script language to generate the required commands on the fly. 2) No initialization files. Since Icom's script language allows access to everything in its INI and BIF files, no initialization files are required. All the required BBS specific information is determined at run time. The only information that isn't determined from the BIF is the new bulletins search string. If people provide me with a list of the search strings they encounter, I'll make detection automatic for those boards. 3) Since Icom automatically detects the operating system it's running under (DOS, Windows OS/2...) I take advantage of this to automatically slow down the capture operation when running under a multitasking environment. This reduces the chance of losing characters during the capture, but slows down the script a bit. 4) Bltcap uses lots 'o window dressing to make the bulletin capture more interesting...if that's possible.
