I've heard that there is a new version of White Knight (11.07). I'm still using WK 11.04. What's new in 11.07 and is there at ftp site where the patches can be obtained? Thanks, Keith@ac.dal.ca

WK 11.07 contains bug fixes to 11.0x (x<7). It can be obtained from FreeSoft (publishers of White Knight) and on many BBS's, including GEnie (which I don't use, but apparently the author of WK does). I heard the bug fixes have to do with zmodem, and maybe with sending getting confused when auto-receive was set. With my 11.02 I never saw any problems, but I upgraded anyway. BTW: There is now an 11.08, I just noticed. One BBS that has it is MacInfo, (415) 795-8862. You can call directly and it will explain how to use it. You'll need the program updater (PUP) and the appropriate file 11.0x->11.07 (x=4 for you), in the comm section (or still in the new uploads section?). Then, you can also get 11.07->11.08, too. If you like and use MacInfo, send in your $30. But feel free to try it out -- you'll just be limited to 30 min./da. and limited downloads per upload. -Drew Wade drew@objy.com

OK. Here's a better answer to "what's new in WK 11.07?" -- the doc. that comes with the upgrade. Enjoy. -Drew Wade drew@objy.com ------------------------- New As Of 11.07 --------------- 1) Control characters can now be embedded in the VT emulation Answerback string, just as they are in a Macro Key string (to send a carriage return, which is CONTROL-M, you would put in a caret character, followed by the letter M - like this: ^M). Note that unlike a Macro Key string, the combinations ^!, ^@, ^#, and ^$ have no meaning in the Answerback string. Example: I want my Answerback string to contain the word "HELLO" followed by a CONTROL-C character, followed by the word "THERE", followed by a carriage return. In the dialog box brought up by choosing Customize-> VT Modes, I would enter the following in the Answerback Message item: HELLO^CTHERE^M 2) Fixed bug that was not lining up characters in the proper column in VT emulation when an addition font (see pages 249-250 in White Knight manual) was being used. This fix will allow the use of IBM character set fonts in VT emulation to support those BBS systems that rely on this character set. 3) Fixed bug in printer control in VT102 emulation that could cause double spacing of lines consisting of exactly 80 characters. 4) Fixed bug in Host Mode with SENDX, SENDY, SENDZ, SENDK, and SENDF commands. If "Auto-receive" is turned on in the Customize->Options-File Transfer dialog box on both machines and there is some sort of error (e.g. "File Not Found", "Unknown Volume", etc.) the auto-receive would incorrectly start the file transfer on the receiver's end before the error message was sent. This has been corrected. 5) Added tolerance for those VT102 applications that use backspacing during auto-print sequences to do double-striking (boldfacing) on the printed page. You won't get double-striking, but the printout will otherwise appear correctly. 6) Fixed VT102 bug during auto-print that allowed one too many characters to be printed on a line before automatically wrapping around. 7) Fixed bug that could cause crash with Suitcase (most notably) when bringing up High Level Printing Options dialog box the second time. 8) Fixed bug where if a keyboard shortcut (example: Shift-Option-F for Full Duplex) were chosen when the General Status Bar was selected but also hidden, the Serial Port Settings portion would suddenly become un-hidden. 9) Eliminated auto-start "feedback" when sending ZMODEM that could cause sending White Knight to incorrectly first jump into "Receiving File Via ZMODEM Protocol" routine. 10) Fixed bug in CONTAINS Procedure command where YES/NO flag was not being set to NO (if it were previously set to YES) when STR_VAR was empty. 11) Fixed bug that could cause crash if a Settings File or Procedure File with a pathname of more than 80 characters were entered in a Phonebook listing. 12) If a delay between redials is specified, you can now cancel the redialing during the delay period. 13) The "Time/Date Header" at the top of printed files (if selected) was excluding the time.

I have no access to GEnie. Is there any ftp site carrying the patches? (All I have is 11.01, the one which came through comp.sys.mac a while ago) Thanks in advance. --- Daniel Schaerer, University of Zurich/Switzerland

Check there is a couple weeks and maybe you can get them.
