09/06/1992 WinExpress Ver 1.5 Whats new in 1.5 ================ Remote Sysop menu now has a new command. [R]eboot Windows This option will Exit Windows while you are online. Make sure you put this in your script file (SYSMENU.SCR). ----------------------------------------------------------------- You now have the option to Exit Winexpress or Exit Windows and drop to DOS immediately when clicking on the EXIT command. ----------------------------------------------------------------- In local mode you can view the programs currently running when logging in. This is also available remotely. ----------------------------------------------------------------- New script command added. TASKLIST This will display the current task list. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Menu.exe now has the option of allowing users to view the children tasks running under WinExpress. WinExpress must be in the foreground and background tasks in the background for a accurate list. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Two internal errors found and corrected. You should see less errors in the ERRORS.DAT file. ------------------------------------------------------------------ You can now use another file instead of CONFIG.DAT at the command line. This will allow you to run more than one version of WinExpress with different config files. EX: Winbbs config1.dat Winbbs config2.dat Make sure that the config file is configured for the different ports. If nothing is specified at the command line CONFIG.DAT is used. ------------------------------------------------------------------- File areas can now have there own names. They no longer reflect the message areas. A file called FILES.DIR can be loaded into a word processor which you can change to meet your needs. The maximum files areas allowed are 255. If this file is not present the system will use the message base names instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------- We rewrote the display procedure when listing file areas. It now lists them in two columns instead of one. ------------------------------------------------------------------- A cursor has been added to local logon. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SYSOP Password is now in the WINBBS.INI file. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The BBS can now be installed under another Directory name besides BBS. Subdirs must still have the same names if you do this.
