Corrected keys in popup menu. Added OS/9 host type Changed Connect/Close/Cancel/Help button processing Support WWW URL "file:" type on command line Retry connection to host up to 20 times Pressing <- and -> buttons with no file selected will prompt for name Pressing OK button in connection box does NOT save host information, you must press Save_Config instead. Added support for Piper IP FTP daemons (does NOT auto detect and long directory looks just like a DOS directory) Added support for PASV transfers (new option) Added option to Auto Save Configuration when OK button is pressed in the connection box. Added option to change the screen layout (you must change the window size to make the change take effect immediately) Command line also supports "ftp:\\host_name\path_name\file_name" Added local directory to connection dialog... watch where you are located if you don't have a directory specified! You can use "ORIGDIR" to make sure that it is in the directory where WS_FTP started from otherwise you are left in the current directory if no name is specified. I've got a whole list of other changes to make but have been fairly busy lately so it may be a few weeks before the next version. Sorry if your changes haven't been made! - jaj
