!TCPIP/TCPIP_Doc/History/New_200e
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Fixes (2.00e)
=============
Whats Fixed?
============
NNTP Long line problem
----------------------
NNTP bug reported in d.i.s.archimedes. Characters lost from long lines.
Now fixed.
Experimentation with test messages seems to indicate that either the
Demon news server or post machine have a general line length limit of
500 or so characters.
From the NNTP server source, it appears that header lines can be upto
1024 characters long. I have ammended !TCPIP NNTP client to be able to
cope with 1024 characters header lines.
Windows re-opening
------------------
Closed windows can sometimes re-open when new text is written to them
causing the cursor to move. This only applies when Cursor follow is
enabled.
Now fixed.
Save Selection
--------------
Save selection via the saveas dbox leaves a shaded option icon visible.
It shouldn't.
Now fixed.
FTP hash
--------
FTP hash command now replies with the ftp prompt.
FTP server type
---------------
The FTP server in !TCPIP now replies to mode changes commands (A,I etc)
with Image type OK or Ascii type OK as appropriate.
Changes
=======
FTP prompt
----------
When a transfer is in progress, the "ftp> " prompt changes to "ftp- ".
Also a prompt appears upon completion being determined at this end.
The purpose of this change is to make chat scripts easier to use in that
batch fetch can be done by scanning for "ftp> " upon completion of any
operation.
If in use, you find an that a prompt doesn't appear as/when expected,
please advise.
The following is an example of an extended FTP command file to login to
Demon's FTP server and retrieve a set of files, and then exit.
-----8<---- CUT HERE ----8<-----
ftp ftp.demon.co.uk \ \
"name: " "anonymous\r\n"
"assword: " "username@hostname.demon.co.uk\r\n"
"ftp> " "bin\r\n"
"ftp> " "hash 1\r\n"
"ftp> " "get /pub/archimedes/developers/0README.TXT\r\n"
"ftp> " "get /pub/archimedes/developers/tcpip2info\r\n"
"ftp> " "quit\r\n"
-----8<---- CUT HERE ----8<-----
username should be replace by your own user name,
hostname should be replace by your own host name.
Command box
-----------
Command box at top of windows has had its buffer increased to 1024
characters to better cope with longer command line chat scripts.
General TCPIP command processing was, in an earlier V2 release, changed
to allow upto 32 separate tokens to be be used in a command rather than
the original 10 and should still cope with this new buffer length.
To make extended command with chat scripts easier to prepare in !Edit or
!Zap etc, newlines in a text file dragged into the command box are
replaced with spaces.
If the resulting file plus contents of box exceed 1021 characters, a
beep is heard, but no error is given.
Control characters other than '\n' ie normal end of line in !Edit may
terminate command extraction from an imported text file.
Small NNTP, SMTP and POP windows
--------------------------------
These small windows were introduced in version 2.00d as an experiment
for comment following comments made on versions 2.00a-2.00c.
Further comments received on these small windows have led to a further
change that should more or less solve the dialemma.
These windows will now have their normal (80 x 24) maximum size by
default, but will be opened at a reduced size, enabling them to be
toggled to full size by the user. In the future, it is likely that the
default work area extent of these windows will be linked to the trace
level in use.
In addition, the terminal size switches ('X<n>' and "Y<n>") have been
renamed as "XE<n>" and "YE<n>" and two additional switches for setting
the default visible workarea have been added as "XV<n>" and "YV<n>".
Note that the wimp operation equivelent of these new switches is to
adjust the visible size of a window in the normal manner, thus no
dialogue box will be provided.
In order to gain dynamically from this, the SMTP/NNTP/POP KICK commands
will be extended to be able to accept terminal control switches in a
future release if not in the 2.00e release.
Telnet, FTP and Finger allready accept these switches.
Current session
---------------
Starting a telnet, ftp or finger session makes it the current session,
allowing command files to be able to start a telnet session and follow
with a record/upload command etc.
A new command, "Terminal" has been added which allows terminal control
commands to be applied to the current session. This includes chat
strings, however, a new chat sequence will immediately over-ride a
previous registered sequence. This will be ammend at some time.
Terminal <switches> applies given switches to the current session's window.
Terminal * <switches> applies given switches to the command window.
SMTP NNTP and POP
-----------------
As mentioned above for NNTP, SMTP and POP have also have had their line
buffers increased to 1024 characters. The main effect of this change is
to allow NNTP, SMTP and POP to correctly parse long header lines. Longer
buffers don't actually have any effect upon body text which should be
acceptable in any line length.
