Missionware Software is pleased to annouce the release of version 2.1 
of Flash II.  This is our second update in the past year.  Flash II 
originally went up for sale in April of 1992.  Version 2.0 was our 
first release, followed a few months later by version 2.01.  Version 
2.1 fixes a number of problems discovered by our customers and beta 
testers over the past few months.  It's also our first full upgrade, 
and as promised, it is being sent out to all currently registered 
customers *for free* on a brand new disk.  We'll be sending these 
disks out during the next couple of weeks in order of serial number.  
Those with low numbers will get their upgrades first.  If you haven't 
received your upgrade by the middle of April, please contact us to 
make sure you are properly registered.

In addition to the enhancments listed below, this upgrade is being 
sent out with our new installation program.  You'll need to reregister
(on your disk only!) this version of Flash II.  Future maintenance 
upgrades will be handled online (you'll be able to download a patch 
file) so it's imperative that you properly register your new
version.

Flash II is the update to the most popular Atari ST
telecommunications program ever!  It's available exclusively from
Missionware Software and at an affordable price!  Flash II is
completely rewritten by Paul Nicholls of Clayfield, Australia.  But
don't let that fool you!  Flash II has the same look and feel as
previous versions of Flash...plus a slew of new features to boot! And
it's just as easy and fast to use for the telecommunications beginner
or pro!  Take a look below for just some of what Flash II can offer
you now...

ù DO script files compatible with older versions of Flash!

ù All macros use the familiar Flash DO script format!

ù Easily setup the parameters for each BBS you call...this includes 
  everything from ASCII upload/download options to baud rate!

ù You can program up to 20 individual and separate macros for each 
  BBS plus an additional 10 global macros !

ù Displays RLE & GIF pictures either on or off line!  You can also 
  save or load these pictures for later review!

ù Supports the following terminal types:  TTY, VIDTEX, VT52, ANSI, 
  VT100, VT101, VT102, VT200, VT300 & PRESTEL.

ù Now includes full support for RTS/CTS.  This mode can now be turned 
  on and off by the user.

ù Includes Automatic Answer mode!

ù Includes Auto Boards mode - Preselect the board(s) you wish to dial 
  and when Flash II is launched either manually from the desktop by 
  you, or automatically by some other program launcher, Flash II will 
  wakeup and dial the board(s) you've got selected.  It will also wait
  for the proper time to dial these boards.

ù Includes full featured GEM text editor with: merge, block
  commands, cut &  paste, search & replace, paragraph reformating; user
  tab settings,  page width, full keyboard cursor and delete control
  and more!

ù Supports the ST, IBM and DEC character sets, including IBM 
  graphics characters!

ù Includes Silent Line for background file transfers!

ù Supports the following upload/download protocols: ASCII, Xmodem, 
  Ymodem, Ymodem-G, Zmodem, Modem7, WXmodem, CIS B, Kermit and SEAlink!  
  And all of these protocols are built into the program...no external 
  modules required!!!

ù Zmodem now supports the selection of AutoStart and Streaming 
  options.  If you prefer to use an external Zmodem protocol with 
  Flash II, you can now force Flash II's Zmodem autostart mode to off.
  For BBS' that don't support "streaming", this too can now be turned 
  off. 

ù Logs all on line time and calculates your approximate costs for you!

ù New version written in assembler!  Fast!

ù Runs on all ST, STe and TT's

ù Now supports "Install Application".  You can create a DO script that
  can be used to launch Flash II from the desktop and force it to dial
  up and go online for you, all automatically!

ù Both the Terminal and Editor have been enhanced significantly for 
  both speed and ease of use.  You'll be amazed at how fast the new 
  Flash II is!

ù A new "BReak" script command is added which permits the sending of a
  terminal break to the host computer while a script is running.
