Date display was wrong in the year 2000+ and FidoNet packets with date >=00 are now imported as being created in the year 2000+. All fixed now. Feature list: * Requires Kickstart 2.04 or higher. * Supports new 3.0 features (newlook menus, memory pools,...). * Fully localized (Workbench 2.1 or higher). * Style Guide compliant. * Supports all current and future monitor modes. * Completely font-sensitive, user may select which fonts to use. * Keyboard shortcuts for most menus and gadgets. * All settings can be easily changed from within Spot. * Fast importing/exporting. * Automatically creates new areas for you, no tedious work. * Special fast message base format with only a few files per area. * Optional - fully transparent - message base crunching. * Message list with powerful functions (e.g. search body text). * Message thread linking based on subject and MSGID kludge. * Excellent support for multiple character sets (LATIN-1, IBM,...). * Built-in, fully asynchronous, Fido file request. * Multi-bossing and multi-domain capable. * Nodelist support (traplist.library). * Userlist editor. Every domain has its own userlist. * Twitlist! Automatically get rid of messages written by or to certain persons or with a specific subject. * Sound! Add an optional sound to several events (message to you, message deleted,...). * Powerful reflow control. * Text styles. Spot will (optionally) show *bold*, _underlined_ and /italic/ text in the correct style. * Supports FSC-0035 (Transparent gateways to and from FidoNet). * ARexx port. * Clock (Some of these features are only available in the registered version) Spot has been tested on nearly every Amiga model, including an A500 and an A4000/040. A harddisk and at least 1MB of RAM are strongly recommended. At least Workbench 2.0 is required, Workbench 2.1 or 3.0 for locale support.
