Zeus 1.2 update now available FREE! to registered Zeus 1.1 Keyfile holders.

Please read the history file for a full list of changes (although in perhaps too much detail!) but here's a run down on best stuff:

Bug fixes. That's what this update was about - and most systems in Zeus have had some removed.
ZMailer. More stable, work arounds for Miami bugs, line status support and a smart new icon system that'll probably annoy most people.. Plus session security file notes on inbound files!
Lines. The access restrictions now work with both ZMailer and Connector - so No Answer, Zone Mail Hour, etc., all work!
FileControl. No CC ("%nn|") worked while there was no user online, fixed. And full security checks when doing a file scan...
Messages. ZMP is far better, from AreaFix fixes to (hopefully) faster operation. New configuration keywords like MaxBundleSize provide even better handling of the Outbound.
Utilities. Logger works, control is a more stable..
Rexx Utilities. New and improved arexx utilities, like FileLister.rexx.
Documentation. ALL of the several hundred ARexx commands have been documented! Better structure too.
ZAPP. It now works! Featuring faster operation, no jumpy ANSI, and new servers like PlayIFF.
Y2K. Zeus 1.2 *should* suffer no major problems after 1/1/2000.
FileEditor. Use a seperate font for the description view.
ANSI. Change screen mode and palette while online!
GUI. Windows now remember their size and position.
DataManager. This has returned! For mbzeus message bases, it will handle the renaming and updating of the message base data files.
