It is open source | | and has new features and bug fixes in addition to aiming for near 100% | | backwards compatibility with the version 4.x releases. | | | | I contacted Joe Hodge/LightSpeed Technologies the owner of /X product | | in December 2018 and he has given his full approval for me to take over | | this software and to continue using the Ami-Express name. | | | | I have also updated the documentation for Ami-Express as many existing | | features were not properly documented. Some new features included in this | | release are: | | * XMODEM and HYDRA protocol support | | * IEMSI support for auto-login if your client supports it. | | * FTP Direct Server - you can now log onto FTP directly and upload or | | download without having to log on via telnet. | | * Improved CPS info in ACP during transfers | | | | With the inclusion of the HYDRA protocol support in this release we have | | achieved full feature parity with the old V4.x Releases of Ami-Express. | | There may still be some small differences between this version and the | | older releases but all features are now covered. | | | | All source code is publicly available at: | | https://github.com/dmcoles/AmiExpress along with the documentation. | | | | Included in this archive are several sample bbs configurations using | | tooltype (.info) and config file (.cfg) format. These are aimed at users | | wanting to set up a bbs for the first time. There is also a file called | | aeicon.json which can be imported using the json import tool or by | | selecting the file the first time you start /X with no configuration in | | place. This file will create a basic structure similar to the ones | | included in the archive. | | | | This verison of /X comes with both rexxdoor 1.3 and 2.2 - If you have 10 | | nodes or more you *MUST* use 2.2 (rename it to rexxdoor) - however this | | version requires that you make RX resident otherwise it won't work. If | | you have less than 10 nodes you can use either version. | | | | If you are a pre-existing /X4 user, the ACP and Express files can just | | replace the old versions and should be as close to fully backwards | | compatible as possible. Plesae do contact me or raise issues in github if | | you encounter any problems. | | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | This release is dedicated to my partner Traci who was taken ill | | unexpectedly at the end of 2018 and passed away after suffering | | lung damage caused by Influenza.
