keysoft 4.02

Hi Greg,

On 1 May 2004 at 19:02, Gregory Nowak spoke, thus:

Yes, I spotted the same thing.  Since I'm a proud owner of KeySoft version 
5 on a new board, I didn't hit quicksand in that respect.  However, ever 
complete as I usually am, and in the knowledge that it might one day come 
into use because, for instance, I may want to reset my BrailleNote to its 
firmware-built version 4.01 (which they incidentally fitted for me 
completely without my knowledge at the time they repaired it and upgraded 
the firmware from 3.07), I kept it when it was originally made available.  
Since I have no idea why it was withdrawn, and I can't see why they should 
withdraw it for reasons of financial gain (unless there is a sinister plot 
to make everyone upgrade to version 5 for whatever reason), I suppose 
there's a chance that installing this software will do something horrible 
to your BrailleNote.  However, it fixes many in-need-of-fixing bugs in 
what is arguably a very stable version of KeySoft, so I reckon (especially 
if you know you have a recent 4.0 version in firmware - that can be 
determined by resetting with dots 1-2-3 or S-D-F held down and checking 
the version number that is displayed on startup or from the information 
item) the upgrade is worth it.  The files (installer and release note) are 
attached to this here message for the benefit of all concerned; hope it 
doesn't inconvenience anyone, but I don't really want to make it 
publically available on some site somewhere.  If you use a classic board, 
don't forget to get the manuals appropriate for your machine at their 
site, if you don't already have the version 4 manual installed - follow 
the release note to see how to do that.  You might try asking on the 
BrailleNote list why this happened, but I must confess that although it is 
great fun to read the shouting on the list and occasionally help in some 
poor sod's network configuration, that they're a bit boring and that you 
probably won't find they're very helpful.

I had to ask for this message from the archives because your Earthlink 
smarthost is busted, BTW.  I'll forward you the bounce (I'll bounce/resend 
it).  Seems the smarthost you use didn't like the message data when it was 
submitted due to an invalid "To:" field.  Can't you just use end-to-end 
delivery?  Or is it that Earthlink are now doing that most terrible of 
things, port 25 blocking?  Either way, you didn't talk to me directly, the 
message never reached me, so EZMLM sent me the warning, which did.  Hope 
this gets through and comes back - that will show that the incident was a 
one off.

Cheers,
Sabahattin
