Welcome to the Zeus 1.2 update!

To install, either click on the Do_Update icon or execute it from
the shell.  Please ensure you have backed up your whole Zeus:
directory in case of problems!


Please read the history file for a full list of changes (although in
perhaps too much detail!) but here's a run down on best stuff:

        o Bug fixes.  That's what this update was about - and most
          systems in Zeus have had some removed.

        o ZMailer.  More stable, work arounds for Miami bugs, line
          status support and a smart new icon system that'll probably
          annoy most people.. Plus session security file notes on
          inbound files!

        o Lines.  The access restrictions now work with both ZMailer
          and Connector - so No Answer, Zone Mail Hour, etc., all
          work!

        o FileControl.  No CC ("%nn|") worked while there was no user
          online, fixed.  And full security checks when doing a file
          scan...

        o Messages.  ZMP is far better, from AreaFix fixes to
          (hopefully) faster operation.  New configuration keywords
          like MaxBundleSize provide even better handling of the
          Outbound.

        o Utilities.  Logger works, control is a more stable..

        o Rexx Utilities.  New and improved arexx utilities, like
          FileLister.rexx.

        o Documentation.  ALL of the several hundred ARexx commands
          have been documented!  Better structure too.

        o ZAPP.  It now works!  Featuring faster operation, no jumpy
          ANSI, and new servers like PlayIFF.

        o Y2K.  Zeus 1.2 *should* suffer no major problems after
          1/1/2000.

        o FileEditor.  Use a seperate font for the description view.

        o ANSI.  Change screen mode and palette while online!

        o GUI.  Windows now remember their size and position.

        o DataManager.  This has returned!  For mbzeus message
          bases, it will handle the renaming and updating of the
          message base data files.
