2.5 KNOWN PROBLEMS
Following is a list of known problems (a.k.a. bugs) or features by
subsystem that did not make the release date:
Electronic Mail
1. Retrieving File Attachments - Only the New Punter protocol works for
retrieving file attachments at this time. This bug will be fixed in a
patch release at a later date.
2. Reply with/File Attachment – Did not make the release date, will be
included in the first patch.
3. Networked Return Receipts and File Attachments – Not implemented yet
pending Network Administrator approval.
U/D Subsystem
1. The U/D Subsystem is not Year 2000 compliant. Dates are still stored in
MMDDYY format. Since I plan to rewrite the U/D System for V7.5 I didn’t
see the point of patching the existing system. Secondly, since it is to
be a major rewrite it didn’t make the release date. And finally without a
conversion program, all C-NET SysOps with huge U/D sections would have to
recreate them since the headers will be incompatible.
Message Base Subsystem
1. There is currently a limit of 255 total messages (posts & responses) per
message board. This will be increased to around the C-NET V6 default of
232 post and 718 total messages (posts & responses) in the first patch
release.
Main System:
1. SY Command – Certain functions of the DOS Shell DO NOT work while on-
line. It WILL crash your board if you attempt to load a Basic 7.0
program.
2. MF Command – The Move File command only works in Local Mode. It seems
this is the way it was originally designed. I plan to take a look at and
include a fix in the first patch.
3. Visual Editor – The Visual Editor is currently being modified to allow
on-line use. Although it still functions now, use may be erratic.
2.6 V7.5 PLANS

make it into V7 of C-NET but might make it into a future release.
