A new version of GETCMD has been released (second one this week). This version (03-002) allows more flexibility when checking to see if the CLI is DCL. Matt Madison has released a new version of his NEWSRDR. This version is NEWSRDR v3.1. The changes from v3.0 are included below my .sig. I also added the sources for UNARJ as mentioned in comp.os.vms this week. I don't have ARJ for VMS (ARJ is yet another PC archiver). The files are available via anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu as: [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]GETCMD.BCK_Z [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]UNARJ.BCK_Z [.MADISON.NEWSRDR]*.* To get them via e-mail, send one or more of the following commands in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET: SEND GETCMD SEND UNARJ SEND NEWSRDR !Pretty big --- 29 60-block pieces SEND NEWSRDR_SRC !So is this one --- 23 60-block pieces SEND FILESERV_TOOLS !Needed for the NEWSRDR packages Hunter ------ Hunter Goatley, VMS Systems Programmer, Western Kentucky University goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET, 502-745-5251 =========================================================================== NEWSRDR V3.1, 04-JUN-1992 BUG FIXES AND UPDATES --------------------- NEWSRDR V3.1, 04-JUN-1992 (final release) * More performance improvements - eliminating unnecessary use of the NNTP GROUP command. * Added /GROUP qualifier to READ/NEXT/NEW and NEXT commands. * Added SET IGNORE/NEWSGROUP to enable kills based on Newsgroups headers. * Fixed a defect introduced in the use of the group tree traversal code added in the last test release. * Changed the way MAIL, REPLY/TO, and FORWARD process user-entered addresses to enable the use of non-RFC822 addresses for mailing. Local addresses (those without an @-sign or a !-sign) are passed directly to VMS Mail. NOTE THAT BANG-NOTATION ADDRESSES MUST BE QUOTED or the !-signs will be treated as comment delimiters! * Fixed the case of a REPLY/POST when the message being followed up contains a "Followups-to: poster" header, so the reply is automatically mailed rather than aborting with the MUSTMAIL message. * Fixed the article display code so that if the $CREATE on the temporary file to hold the article body fails, a message is generated, rather than just failing silently. * Updated the documentation and the on-line help to reflect the new features and changes. NEWSRDR V3.1, 29-MAY-1992 (test release 1) * Made several performance improvements. Specifically: eliminated some unnecessary dynamic string use; started using balanced binary tree for holding group information. * Fixed several cases where LIB$FREE_VM was being used inappropriately, which probably caused a memory leak. ===========================================================================
