The second public beta of BPQMailChat is now available at the links on the
welcome page of the BPQMailChat group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BPQMailChat/
The installer includes updates to both BPQ32 and to BPQMailChat:
BPQ32_410k_2009Sep24:
BPQTelnetServer.exe to 2.1.7.1: Supporting changes required by BPQMailChat
for forwarding to FBB via tcp.
Bpqaxip.dll 1.15.2.5: Properly clears the MH window and adds a new AX/TCP
access method. See example bpqaxip.cfg's in folder ...\examples.
Bpq32.dll 4.10k Ver 4.10.11.4: Adds a new user command "NRR `node'", which
may be entered from BPQTerminal, sending a netrom record route packet to the
specified node. The return results show the actual path taken to and from
said node.
BPQ32+BPQMailChat_Beta_2009Sep24: Includes the changes listed above for
BPQ32_410k_2009Sep24 plus BPQMailChat Beta – Version 1.0.2.9:
Changes to BPQMailChat - Version 1.0.2.9:
Chat seems much more stable with this version, but it contains extra logging
to help track down any remaining problems.
Most SYSOP commands can now be placed in the Forward Scrpt. This is mainly for
HF forwarding. e.g.:
PACLEN 80 PACLEN is a user level command - doesnt need SYSOP status
PASSWORD (the word PASSWORD, not a password! causes immediate entry to SYSOP
Mode if entery locally)
MAXFRAME 4 1
RETRIES 4 10
FRACK 4 30 Frack is in units of 1/3 secs.
C 4 CALLSIGN
Note that PACLEN only changes the values for the current session. Tho others
stay as set.
FBB Binary Forwarding mode B1 is now supported. This includes Resume, although
I can't get Resume to work to FBB. It works fine FBB-BPQ and BPQ-BPQ.
The Max FBB forwarding Block Size is now set per BBS.
An option to hold messages from a user has been added. This is the default for
new users.
A crash which occured if Housekeeping Overrides were entered without the ,Value
has been fixed.
Messages are written to the Monitor and Log if a Chat Node-Node session is
refused.
The Actions/Start Forwarding list is sorted by callsign.
Errors reported by the "C" Runtime Libraries are now trapped and witten to the
Monitor and Debug file. The program is now mcuh less likely to crash, but keep
an eye on the Monitor - things could be going horribly wrong without it being
obvious.
Housekeeping is now run at startup if the system was down at the last
housekeeping time.
Adds the defined links to the /p display, so you can easily check that the
station you are trying to link to has you defined as a node.
Sends messages if available after rejecting all proposals. It used to just
send FF.
Don't try to send msg back to originator. It used to try - the message was
rejected on the BID, but it was a waste of time.
Fix timeband processing when none specified. It should default to 0000-2359.
Improved Chat Help display.
Add helpful responses to /n /q and /t. It was easy to accidentally delete
name or qth, and not realise it.
Kill Personal WP messages after processing.
Add command recall to Console. Cursor Up/Down scrolls through last 20 commands
entered.
Show users in new topic when changing topic.
Add "Send From Clipboard" Action
Hold messages from the future, or with invalid dates.
Add KH (kill held) command.
Send Message to SYSOP when a new user connects.
Don't reject personal message on Duplicate BID unless we already have an
unforwarded copy.
Hold Looping messages.
Warn SYSOP of held messages.
Close connecton on receipt of *** DONE (MBL stype forwarding).
Improved validation in link_drop (Chat Mode).
Change to prompts and Msg Header for Outpost.
Fix Connect Script processing for KA Nodes.
Have fun!
