1. MIAME.INI Option MAXJOBS=## overrides the default allocation size for JOBTBL.SYS (which is 2-4 times the number of nodes licensed, depending on various factors. Note that this has been implemented since edit 712 but was never documented.
2. Default MAXJOBS=# setting now subject to a minimum of 5 (previously 2.) 3. Default IJCFREQ= setting now equal to MAXJOBS, with a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 30. (The minimum and maximum do not apply if the IJCFREQ= parameter is expressed explicitly.) Also note that IJCFREQ=0 turns off the Inter Job Communication system entirely.
4. New VUE.LIT switch /Y eliminates the need to answer the question "File doesn't exist, do you want it created?". (Assumes Y is the answer.) Requires VUE.LIT 2.0(107). Note that under AMOS, the answer to the "Create?" question would accept command file input, whereas under A-Shell, it does not, unless you also specify /C, in which case ALL VUE keyboard operations would accept command file input.
5. New A-Shell/Windows command line switch -z ("Zero window") causes the window to be totally invisible. This might be appropriate for certain kinds of background tasks. Such an invisible job will show in SYSTAT, but will not show anywhere on the desktop or even in the Windows task list. One way to make it show itself are for it to execute MIAMEX.SBR function 77 (ShowWindow) with any flag value other than zero. Another way is to use SEND.LIT 2.0(112) or higher:
SEND !
The special message ! (exclamation mark) will cause it to display itself the next time it checks its messages (the interval of which is set by the IJCFREQ= option in MIAME.INI.
6. (Windows) XCALL MIAMEX,76,PORTNUM (Telnet server mode) now causes Window to become invisible when the Telnet connection made. (Previously was just minimized.)
7. (Windows) MIAMEX 77, SHOWFLAGS causes A-Shell Window to be redisplayed or hidden according to SHOWFLAGS. See MIAMEX.BAS (sample program now released in DSK0:[7,376] for the list of flag values.)
8. Fix spurious "Invalid Handle" messages popping up every few seconds until license (or demo mode) entered.
