• From allfix.app etc

    Hello All!

    1. I have hatched the version 6.1.3 release for OS2 and DOS along with the following update information etc :


    We have FPC compiling Allfix. On the Site we have the new and updated DOS and OS/2 versions. We have completely rewritten the Wildcat components to include all the things that were missing or were proprietary to Mustang Software. So far, testing on a real WC4 system shows no data corruption.

    We have also created Windows 32-bit and 64-bit versions, which also include a Wildcat version. And I can now compile all of this on my Linux system.

    I'm still trying to get my access/software back up so I can at least start posting on the Allfix Support site, but I'm still fighting some issues. So I'm also working on the messaging system in Allfix to get that up and running for the Echo Mail Tossing.

    So, there is the Legacy code that I am updating with bug fixes, and there is the new code that is the main progression.

    Please let me know if you run into any issues with the updated code, I'm working hard to make it 100% reliable again.

    We also added support for Remote Access 2.60 and Renegade v1.35+.

    I am working on a Wildcat 5 support for the Windows Version, as I still have my
    copy that I purchased back in the Day. I don't know how it will work for anything else up to v8 until I can get my hands on a copy of that.

    I am still working on the FreeBSD and Linux versions. Because the file systems differ due to case-sensitive filenames, different folder structures, and system
    call variations - it will take me a little longer to write a conversion system
    for them.

    Hopefully in a month or so, maybe less)

    The following is the Changelog for v6.1.3 :

    You are encouraged to help test these releases and report any bugs at allfix.app and a summary here but do not forget to specify the version details i.e., DOS v613 etc and any other useful info such as your system details which
    might affect the running etc.

    Programmers are not mind readers :)
