Status:   

Version 0.25 of Internet Adventurer is now out - this version includes a
newsreader capable of functioning both online and offline.

The new version is available for download at:
    http://www.belle.dk/~kr/

Internet Adventurer is OS/2's premier Internet Suite - it supports WWW, FTP
(download), Gopher, IRC and USENET News.

Soon, Mail, FTP (up/download) and Telnet (with X,Y,Z-Modem) will be added.

For a full list of features, please see http://www.belle.dk/~kr/readme.txt

Following is a list of what has been changed between v0.24 and v0.25:
 * If a TMP variable was not defined in the config.sys, the WWW part would
   trap immediately after starting it.
 * In some cases the quicklist database was reported as corrupted, even
   though it wasn't.
 * I've made REXX scripts for importing/exporting the quicklist. Look at
   qimport.cmd and qexport.cmd - These scripts are a bit crude at the
   moment, but they are enough for saving your quicklist if the database
   get's damaged.
 * If you double-click with the right mouse button in the WWW entryfield,
   the field is cleared, and the contents of the clipboard is pasted to it.
 * I have changed some of the bitmaps on the buttons - thanks to
   Seth McFarland (ptackbar@vnet.net) for the new bitmaps !
 * Sometimes, the IRC nicklist was empty when joining a channel - this
   should be fixed now - please let me know if you see this problem
   again !
 * Fixed a trap in WWW - sometimes, when moving back and forth between
   pages, InetAdv would trap trying to deallocate an invalid pointer.
 * Nicknames in IRC can now be up to 32 characters - REMEMBER: this is
   only possible on some servers - eg. on EFNet servers you can only
   have nicks up to 9 characters long.
 * News support is now added - both online and offline news reading is
   possible, and support of up to 10 simultaneous connections to the
   news server is implemented. This means that eg. while you are retrieving
   the list of new articles, you can still download a single article and
   look at that.
