QmodemPro v1.50

Note:  see 'ripinfo.txt' for more complete information on RIP

   RIP information

   To enable conection to BBS systems making use of the new RIPscrip
   graphical emulation you must set the Terminal Emulation for that
   dialing directory entry to RIPscrip.  Everything else is automatic.
   Once in graphics mode you can return to text mode by pressing Alt Z
   to get the familiar QmodemPro Menu Bar.

   If you intend to make use of RIPscrip you must set up a directory to
   store ICONS which are a part of the RIP emulation.  To do so, invoke
   the QmodemPro Config option by pressing Alt Z followed by C for
   Config.  Then select the Path Definitions choice and fill in an
   appropriate path to hold your ICON files.  This may be a path similar
   to C:\QMPRO\ICONS\    After entering a path, exit QmodemPro and
   create the directory on your disk.  Copy ICONS.EXE from your QMPRO
   home directory to this new ICONS directory and execute it there to
   extract the .ICN files.  After doing so you can erase ICONS.EXE to
   save space.

   The balance of this file is a new feature list.

-  Added full support for RIPscrip graphics including mouse support from
   remote.  To activate RIP set the terminal emulation for the terminal
   or any dialing directory entry to RIP.

   Note that RIP makes use of EGA graphics and may not be used on
   systems without EGA capability.

   Attention DESQview users.  QmodemPro fully utilizes the DESQview
   mouse API to allow the mouse to be active in multiple re-sized
   DESQview windows.  However, the DESQview mopuse API does not provide
   a method of switching to EGA graphics mode and continuing to make use
   of the mouse.  If you intend to make use of the mouse in RIP
   emulation you must either leave DESQview and run QmodemPro from DOS
   or use DESQview/X which fully supports switching to a grphical mouse
   cursor.  We regret this situation, and are working with Quarterdeck
   Office Systems for an alternative solution.

   QmodemPro switches from text to graphics mode automatically when
   triggered by a RIP-capable host, and can be manually switched back by
   pressing the menu key, Alt Z.  This switch is very quick except when
   running under Windows.  When Windows is detected, the RIP switching
   between text and graphics takes a little longer because it has to
   write the graphics screen contents to a file and then restore it when
   it switches back. Non-windows users will not experience this disk
   write delay.

-  Quicklearn fully supports recording of RIP screens including mouse
   clicks, for playback.  Two new Script commands have been added,
   RIPKEY  and  RIPMOUSE.

      RIPKEY [character]  This is the HOTKEY character of a Rip Button
      if one exists on the graphics screen.  During playback, it will
      simulate pressing the hotkey for that character and the button
      will execute.

      RIPMOUSE [X coord] [Y coord]  This records the position of the
      mouse pointer when the mouse is clicked on a mouse button or mouse
      region. During playback, it will simulate moving the mouse pointer
      to the x,y coordinates specified and clicking the left mouse
      button.

-  Fixed a long-standing bug in the Script processor when it had to deal
   with WAITFOR commands that used expanded Ctrl character sequences.
   It was possible for Quicklearn to Record a Script that it could not
   play back correctly.  I found this when dealing with the new RIP
   script commands above.

-  A red dashed box appears on the screen when a RIP ICON Load command
   is received but does not exist in your ICONS directory.

-  The button support in RIP mode acts just like Windows and QmPro
   Dialogs.  Holding the mouse button down and moving off the button,
   will "unclick", and moving back on the button will "re-click" it. If
   you release the mouse button when it is "unclicked", the command is
   ignored.

-  Changes were made to the FAX code and timing to allow it to operate
   better with a wider variety of FAX modems.

-  Changed the Fax code to allow a ^L Formfeed character to eject a page
   and start a new one.  The ^L -MUST- be the only character on the line
   and be in column 1 of the document.  If either of these fail then the
   page will not eject.

-  Added remote/local printer support to VT100, VT102, VT220 and VT320.
   The new commands now supported include ESC[4i, ESC[5i, ESC[0i,
   ESC[?1i, ESC[?4i, ESC[?5i, ESC[?19h, ESC[?19l, ESC[?18h, ESC[?18l.

-  Fixed a bug in the VTxxx emulation color code ESC[0m to reset the
   correct color.

-  Made a fix to the VT100+ emulations to ignore some of the VT52
   commands that would not be trapped normally.

-  Minor bug fix to the ESC T command in Wyse50 emulation.  If this was
   done on the last line, the screen would scroll up one line when it
   shouldn't.

-  Fixed an annoyance (not really a bug) in Zmodem Download where it
   would flush the incoming buffer after the transfer and there was a
   chance that the BBS had sent info after the transfer that you
   wouldn't see.

-  Fixed Alt+K so it was QuickLearn'able.  It was not recording the
   DEVICE command in the learned script.

-  Added support for the Doorway Remote Printer redirection in ANSI and
   RIP modes.  Redirection prints to the defined printer (or file) as
   defined in Config/Files/Filename/Printer ID.

-  Made a minor change to the Ymodem/G Upload process to catch the first
   "G" from a remote a little quicker.  Should save 3-5 seconds in the
   startup phase.

-  Added a "/NOLOGO" command line option.  This will skip the ANSI logo
   and delay when QmPro is loaded.

-  Corrected a problem with the Shell to DOS code.  If a system has a
   16550 and it was enabled in the Device config, after a Shell it was
   not being re-enabled.  This also affected some external protocols.

-  Users who are connecting to the J&L NCS Int14 Servers can now use the
   ArtiCom Interface for correct connections.  J&L use a slight
   variation of the Int14 standard, and with a small change to the
   ArtiCom, it works for both systems.

-  Included the new RPI software V.42bis and MNP5 support for those 2400
   baud modems that can take advantage of it.  This requires the V42.DRV
   file to be located in the same directory as QMPRO.EXE.

-  Included support for NCSI/ACS network interface.  This is a slight
   variation to the NASI/NACS code.

-  Fixed the problem with the CIS B+ downloads not switching to the
   Default DL Directory automatically.

-  Fixed a script STRING bug in script processing.  If a master script
   called a nested script used the STRING command many times, the
   duplicate definitions were not caught and caused the string table to
   overflow.  Now, when a nested script uses the STRING command, if the
   string already exists it is cleared.  If it doesn't, it is added to
   the String table.
