!TCPIP/TCPIP_Doc/History/New_200b

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 (2.00b)
=============

Tabs
----
Tabs were a mess! - must have written that bit late at night or
something ;-) Use of tabs could cause address excpetions (B.M.A) Should
now function correctly.


Keyboard mapping
----------------
Have changed CTRL+U to be handled just like all other CTRL+(alpha) keys.
Problem there was some old test code that had been left in.

Various other keys added. Sequence for Page up/down had a "~" missing
off the end should be ok now. See file "Keyboard" in notes for keymap
info.

Application keypad mode - this needs some thought due to way RiscOS
keyboard is mapped by the keyboard handler.


Changes
=======

Commands parsing now accepts upto 32 tokens (or should)
Chat strings now as per "Notes.Chat" file.

Pop now calls same closedown sequence as NNTP, SMTP etc.
