Winsock RCP/RSH Version History
-------------------------------

Version 1.0  -  Initial Release

Version 1.1  -  Added -r option to RSH for redirection of output
                Added -a and -b option to RCP for ASCII conversion

Version 1.2  -  Corrected problem in RCP that would not allow recursive copies
                from a drive other than the current drive.  RCP would find the
                filenames from the specified drive, but would try to read the
                data from the current drive, causing "File Not Found" errors.
                For example, the following would not work if the current drive
                was the C: drive:

                         rcp -r a:\doc remhost:/usr/doc

             -  RCP and RSH would only allow a host name to be used, not an
                IP address (i.e., a dotted-decimal address of the host).  For
                example, the following would result in a "Record Not Found"
                error from Windows Sockets:

                         rsh 89.0.0.8 ls -x

                or

                         rcp 192.15.32.1:/usr/joe/file \doc

                For the technically curious, this occurred because the Windows
                Sockets "gethostbyname()" function only allows host names to
                be specified, unlike Unix, which allows both IP addresses and
                host names.  RCP and RSH now determine whether or not you have
                specified a host name or IP address and adjusts accordingly.

Version 1.3  -  Corrected a problem with wildcards.  Sometimes the last
                character of the directory name prefixing the wilcard was
                being thrown into the name, causing it to not find the files.

             -  Corrected a memory leak.

Version 1.4  -  Will retry up to ten times when a Connection Refused error
                occurs.


Version 1.42 -  Added retry on Shutdown and Timeout errors.  Added two options
                that can be placed in the [RCMD] section of WIN.INI:

                 (The setting in the [RCMD] section sets the option for BOTH
                  Winsock RCP and RSH)

                  RetryError:  Set this to the Windows Socket error number
                               (usually between 10000 and 11000) that you
                               want Winsock RCP/RSH to retry on when
                               received when trying to connect to the remote
                               host.  This number should be POSITIVE, even
                               though the Winsock RCP/RSH error window shows
                               it as negative.

                  RetryCount:  The number of times Winsock RCP/RSH should
                               retry when the Connection Refused, Shutdown,
                               Timeout, or the error specified in the
                               RetryError configuration option is received.
                               The default is ten (10) times.

Version 1.43 -  Corrected problem with recursive copies.
           

Version 1.50 -  Correct problem with error handling in RCP.  Add additional
                retries for Trumpet in RSH and RCP.  Added 800 number for
                orders through PsL.

Version 1.60 -  Added REXEC utility.
           
             -  Allows host name to appear before or after flags to be
                compatible with Unix syntax.

             -  Officially added -h (hidden) option to RSH, REXEC, and RCP.

             -  Added -t option to allow redirection and display of data in
                RSH and REXEC.

             -  Speeded up display of RSH by reading in blocks of 512 bytes.

             -  Allow Minimize option in WIN.INI to externally control window
                display.

             -  Allow BufSize option in WIN.INI to control number of characters
                in each block of data read in RSH and REXEC.

Version 1.62 -  Added better handling of window close during an operation.

             -  Added -q option (for "quiet" - no error messages displayed)
                to RCP.

             -  Added -l option (for "log file") to RCP.  Specifying
                "-l filename" on the command line will write all error
                messages to "filename".  They will not be displayed on
                the screen (i.e. the "quiet" option is also enabled).

Version 1.63 -  Changed to write redirected output (using -f or -t) in
                binary mode (no end-of-line conversion).  If end-of-line
                conversion is desired, place the line "ASCII=1" in the
                [RSH] or [REXEC] section of WIN.INI.

Version 1.64 -  Would not allow a command to be sent to the host through
                RSH or REXEC if it began with an at-sign (@).  This is because
                it used that to determine whether or not the command was
                actually a macro file.  Now, you can specify two at-signs (@@)
                as the first two characters of a command and only one will
                be sent as the first character.  Note that this is ONLY
                required when the @ should appear as the FIRST character
                of the command.  For example, if the command for the remote
                host is "@mycmd", use "@@mycmd".

                Also, you can disable the macro capability altogether by
                adding "Macros=0" to the [RSH] or [REXEC] sections of WIN.INI
                (depending on whether you are using RSH or REXEC).  This would
                then remove the requirement of placing @@ at the beginning
                of commands that begin with @.  All commands will be sent
                unmodified.
