pctelnet@yoyodyne.ncsa.uiuc.edu (Back up telnet files) (01/21/91)
The latest beta release of NCSA Telnet, version 2.3b14, is now available for anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (128.174.20.50). Please download this release and report all bugs to "pctelbug@ncsa.uiuc.edu". Please be sure to mention that this is a _beta14_ bug. Please post all followups to comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc or e-mail pctelbug@ncsa.uiuc.edu. Here's what's been fixed: BUG FIXES FOR NCSA Telnet 2.3b14: 1) Configurable ftp-back-to-PC string. This should normally be set to "-n" to avoid the "Username:" prompt. Default is null (no options). 2) Fixed some linemode negotiation bugs. 3) Fixed Telnet options printing on screen. 4) 'More' command fixed in FTP. 5) rsh utility added. 6) FTP color bug fixed. 7) 8-bit output mapping now allowed. 8) Mouse support added for editing. Currently, the movements are mapped to the arrow keys, the left button is mapped to '\n', and the right button is mapped to 'ScrlLck'. 9) Disable/enable mouse support (8). The mouse is disabled by default- pressing "Alt-M" or clicking the right mouse button enables it. Pressing "Alt-M" or the right mouse button again disables it, etc. Note that clicking the right mouse button to enable/disable the mouse also enables/disables scrollback mode. This means you can do a scrollback without touching the keyboard. 10) THE MESSAGES SCREEN IS NOW ALT-Z, _NOT_ ALT-M!! 11) MGET in ftp now checks filenames for dos compatability TO SOME EXTENT. 12) SITE command support added to ftpbin. 13) DEPCA driver should be fixed now. 14) MGET and MPUT now ask (Yes/No/All/Quit) for each file. All gets all the remaining files without interactive prompting, Quit terminates the current batch. Known Bugs: Please see the BUGS file in this directory. Things Which Still Need To Be Crammed In: 1) All the bugs above. 2) A VGA monochrome screen driver. 3) Overlaying the code so that Telnet will take up less memory. 4) Maybe update the telpass interface. 5) Enhance the vt110 emulator to support double width & double height characters, and the printer toggle switches. Please keep the bug reports coming in. pctelbug@ncsa.uiuc.edu Chris Wilson
