1370.0.1

ZTXFER.LIT 1.3(106) enhancement: now supports PC to Windows server file transfers using the AG_GETFILEDATA protocol introduced in 6.1.1357 and vastly improved in 6.1.1370.0. PC to server file transfers are now typically 1 MB/sec, without requiring any special servers or ports. For the UNIX server world, it also supports a new /2 switch to invoke the new FTP/SFTP protocol (implemented in ASHNET.DLL 1.6.139) if it is available.

1370.0.2

XCALL GET enhancement. Under Windows, when the 'raw' flag is set for console input, a new high-performance input routine is used that vastly improves input speed. This is mainly of value with the AG_GETFILEDATA command as implemented in ZTXFER; see above.

1370.0.3

GDI printing refinement: //TEXTOUT, //TEXTCENTER, and //TEXTRECTANGLE now treat an unmatched leading quote as a literal character. Previously it was stripped.

1370.0.4

Windows memory leak fixed: each update to the system status line was burning a GDI object handle.

1370.0.5

ATSYNC 1.3(117) enhancements: In SBX mode, the normal /L message ("See ...") is eliminated, allowing for totally silent operation. For all other cases, it now reports the total time of the transfer operation (making it easier to see how much faster sync operations are with the /V2 switch.)

1370.0.6

MSGBOX refinement: an intermittent problem with the closure of the dialog triggering the equivalent of a click event (by setting focus on an underlying clickable control) has been eliminated.

1370.0.7

Fix a problem with conversion of files with no extension to native format.
