3. NFS-Server as NT Service:
- The Warning Message about necessity to restart the Service is issued after changes in NFS-Server settings via the new "Settings" facility.

4. NFS-Client for MS Windows NT4/2K/2K3/XP/Vista:
- The driver now provides the Inode number limit more than 65565.
- The driver now processes exported directories with large amount of files (more than 7000).
- To delete client's icons from Start Menu under Vista32, direct removing of links from a directory for all users was implemented in the delete client program.
- The option for unmounting a network drive was included into the mounting program.

5. XServer:
- Implemented the "Reduce heavy Graphic" mode.
- Added the "XKEYBOARD_Extension" setting.
- Restored the "new old" mode ("TrPW2") for non-standard X11-Clients. Now its name is "Emulate WM window substrate".

6. ComSetup
- Now ComSetup is placed in the new "Settings" facility.
- Implemented the "SilentBell" setting.

7. XSettings
- Now XSettings is placed in the new "Settings" facility.

Major differences 1.4/Release:20070119 from the 1.3/Release:20060612 version

New Features on this release include:

1. Installation:
- The Installation procedure accepts a prepared file with NFS-Client settings. The file must have the "nfsclnt.cpr" name and locate in the package distributive directory ("near the setup.exe" file). It is especially useful for "silent" installations.
- The Installation procedure accepts a prepared file with Telnet settings. The file must have the "prosets.ini" name and locate in the package distributive directory ("near the setup.exe" file). It is especially useful for "silent" installations.

2. Ftp
- Enlarged the allowed name length of files or directories from 100 to 255 symbols;
- Improved comprehension of the StatusBar;
- Improved messages during Directory Copying.

3. Telnet and Telnet_SSH:
- Columns-selection-by-rectangular is supplemented with selection- by-filling that provides text highlighting selection in traditional manner.
- Implemented the "Quick Copy to Clipboard" mode, in which "Copy" is performed on release of the left mouse button.
- Implemented "Copy"/"Paste"-by-keyboard that are close to traditional manner. By default, "Copy"/"Paste" use the "Ctrl_L+Shift_L+C"/"Ctrl_L+Shift_L+V" keys combinations.
- Implemented the "Fit To Screen" setting on the "Text" tab for the "XTERM" emulation Type to guarantee that an application window is fully displayed on the PC's screen (i.e. it does not cross screen boundaries). If necessary, Scroll Bars are created.
- Implemented the "Dynamic resize" setting on the "Text" tab for the "XTERM" emulation Type to provide the "no scrollbar" mode. The actual Rows and Columns numbers are dynamically being changed while window resizing.
- The "XTERM" terminal emulation provides 16-colors mode instead of B/W one.
- More connection's parameters (UserName, LogLevel, Default Forwarding, etc) are saved in profile(s).

4. NFS-Server as NT Service:
- Implemented the "Enable logging (to NFSLOG.TXT)" setting for the NFS-Server as a NT Service.

5. NFS-Server
- Provides more expected date/time values for directories now;
- By default, the 'system', 'archive' or 'hidden' Windows file attributes are not used or changed at all;
- If a file has the "r" Unix attribute, then it will automatically have the "x" attribute as well;
- Implemented the "DisableReadCaching" manual setting to provide concurrent intensive access to files directly and via NFS connections;
- Implemented more informational trace logging.

6. NFS-Client for MS Windows NT4/2K/2K3/XP/Vista:
- NFS-Client is operational under MS Vista too;
- Implemented the NfsAlias assistant facility to view the NFS-Serves list and their exports with corresponding aliases. This information is useful for the "Net Use..." mapping way;
- Implemented the Nfsdrive facility as the useful own mapping tool. It allows you to avoid the Windows traditional 30-sec delay (per each IP address);
- Enlarged the allowed size of mapped export for the NFS-3 mode from 4 TeraBytes to 4 PetaBytes. This is of great importance to access exported RAIDs;
- Implemented recognition (and substitution) of the Windows reserved names (AUX, CON, COM1...);
- The position of the NFS-Client in the MS Windows Network Provider order is managed via the NFS-Client Settings. This is very useful when collisions with other MS Windows Network Providers take place (e.g., Microsoft Network Client).
- The NFSSetup installation utility accepts a prepared file with NFS-Client settings. This file must have the "nfsclnt.cpr" name.

7. NFS-Client for x64 MS Windows 2K3/XP/Vista:
- Implemented the Beta MS Windows XP/2003/Vista x64 NFS-Client.

8. XServer:
- The MESA Emulation mode is available if the "RENDER" Extension mode is enabled.
- Implemented new behavior of the "Virtual Root size" dimensions with "Fit to Screen Size" disabled. If the Width and/or Height fields have zero or negative values, then the actual screen size is the sum of this value and the corresponding dimension of the PC's Screen. For "Multiple" and "Multiple+RWM" modes, only the "0" and "-1" values are used.

9. XSettings
- Implemented a new version of the program that provides users with better outlook and more settings to adjust XServer's behavior.

The following bugs have been fixed:

1. Ftp
- Sometimes the "FXP:...not connected" unexpected message took place when copying files;
- Fixed error processing of file listing with some modern Ftp-daemons.

2. Telnet and Telnet_SSH:
- Fixed some bugs in the XTERM/Standard mode;
- Sometimes unexpected resizing of an application window took place.
- Fixed some bugs in viewing previous screens (including 1024-line screens).
- Fixed some bugs in marking a selection area (including those that were detected while focus and window activity changing).
- Sometimes incorrect "list of sessions" may appear. This is actual if the "Use SSH Forwarding" (SOCKS4) is used in FTP, XStartup and NFS-Client.
- Corrected the possibility to type in the "Passphrase" field for the "Use RSA key to log in" mode.

3. NFS-Server and NFS-Server as NT Service:
- NFS-Server can crash sometimes in NFS-3/UDP mode (depends on actual rsize/wsize values);
- It was not possible to set up or change the "modified time" directory attribute.

4. NFS-Server as NT Service:
- The NFS-Server as NT Service may unexpectedly output the "Perror...svc_run: - select failed..." error message while performing Service "Restart" or "Stop".

5. NFS-Client for MS Windows NT4/2K/2K3/XP:
- The driver crash (and BSOD) took place sometimes if the NFS-Server answered on requests with a large delay (because of, say, ZoreAlarm concurrent working);
- Fixed some bugs for the PCNFSD authentication mode (including those that were detected while working via MS Windows TSE Client).
- Accelerated disconnection (dismounting) of mapped drives due to more correct handling of the Mutex Shared Memory.
- If the MS Windows system has more than one IP address, then sometimes the displayed list of remote NFS-Servers might not be valid.
- The "Enable mounting of subdirectories" mode is more correct now.
- Fixed the crash (BSOD) that takes place when ZoneAlarm is installed on the same PC. The nature of the bug was in incorrect processing of pending system requests while performing Overlapped I/O operation.
- Corrected performing of the NFS-3 ReadDirPlus operation for the case when the remote directory is large.

6. XServer:
- Provided more correct output into log-files in the DynamicDisplayNumber mode;
- XServer/Single in the GLX/OpenGL32 mode showed leaking memory and GDI objects;
- Renovated GLX OpenGL32 and MESA DLLs and so become incompatible with the old XServer;
- Wrong displaying of some Umlaut symbols may take place on German or French versions of MS Windows.
- In the "Multiple" mode, a CDE logon menu "blinks" (appears and quickly disappears) on mouse button press.

- some illegal symbols (such as '*',':','$','|') in file names can be used
(i.e. CATIA often tries to create file names with mentioned symbols)

4. Telnet and Telnet_SSH:
- Telnet can be started as a non-interactive session via the Startup facility (as well as SSH-2)
- implemented the "-mout []" command-line option to provide a "readable" log-file for the session
- implemented the "-lxdn []" command-line option to set the "DISPLAY" session environment variable if a remote daemon supports it. (the "-lxdn" option means lookup running XServer)
- Telnet understands the local XServer's "DynamicDisplayNumber" mode and correctly looks for the running XServer

5. Telnet_SSH:
- implemented the "-log " option to set up the tracing level (0..7)
- the "-lxdn []" option provides correct X11-forwarding (if set)

6. NFS-Client for MS Windows NT4/2000/XP:

Undocumented Features

1. Comsetup:
- Implemented the "Disable Log Output" setting to prevent attempts to write in the ".out" and ".ini" files from any of the package's features.

2. Ping (renovated):
- The "*" wild card symbol may be used once in the IP address (in both IPv4 and/or IPv6 cases) to scan 256 hosts on the LAN. Examples of correct IP addresses: "192.168.0.*", "fe80::250:baff:fef2:*42%4".

3. Ftp:
- To enter in the FXP mode, the "Server"->"FXP/FTP Connect" menu item must be chosen to log on the second remote host after the usual FTP log on the first host was completed. After this the left FTP's pane will represent the 2nd remote FTP server.

4. Telnet and Telnet_SSH:
- The "SelectRect=0" line can be inserted into the "[telnet]" section of the xwp.ini file to set the selection by filling mode, which provides the traditional text highlighting selection.
- The "QuickClipBoard=1" line can be inserted into the "[telnet]" section of the xwp.ini file to set the "Quick Copy to Clipboard" mode, when the "Copy" performed on release of the left mouse button.
- The "CtrlCVmode=3" line can be inserted into the "[telnet]" section of the xwp.ini file to exactly set the traditional "Copy"/"Paste" key combination ("Ctrl+C"/"Ctrl+V"). Be careful, because in this mode you cannot send to remote application another "traditional" key combination "Ctrl+C" (break event). The "CtrlCVmode=5" is the default ("Ctrl_L+Shift_L+C"/"Ctrl_L+Shift_L+V").

5. NFS-Server:
- The "WebNFS Enable"/"Unset as WebNFS" buttons of the "NFS-Server Settings" dialog allow/disable the WebNFS support.
- The "NOSubDirectory=0" line can be inserted into the "[NFSSERVER]" section of the xwp.ini file to disable the ability to mount a subdirectory of a shared one.

6. NFS-Client for Windows NT4/2K/2K3/XP/Vista:
- The "NFS-Client Settings"->Advanced->"Enable mounting of subdirectories" setting must be enabled to allow mounting a subdirectory of a shared one (if the remote NFS-Server allows that).
- The NFSSetup installation utility allows the "silent" installation mode. The "nfssetup.exe PathToMainPackage IconName -q" command line provides this.

7. XServer:
- The "DontUse_MOTIF_WM_HINTS=1" line can be inserted into the "[XSERVERdeb]" section of the xwp.ini file to prevent from processing the "_MOTIF_WM_HINTS" windows property.
- The "DontCheckWM_SIZE_HINTSinc=1" line can be inserted into the "[XSERVERdeb]" section of the xwp.ini file to prevent from processing the "WM_SIZE_HINTS" windows property.
- The "MAX_XSELECTION_BYTES=..." line can be inserted into the "[XSETUP]" section of the xwp.ini file to enlarge the default (1Mb) size of X-Selection which may be copied to/from the MS Windows Clipboard. E.g., the "MAX_XSELECTION_BYTES=2000000" line sets the ~2Mb limit.
- The "AllowCONTEXTMENU=1" line can be inserted into the "[XSETUP]" section of the xwp.ini file to allow the standard MS Windows Context Menu (when right-click on the windows title bar provides the standard drop-down menu).
- The "CheckXDesk=1" line can be inserted into the "[XSETUP]" section of the xwp.ini file to provide the correct focus processing by the XDesk virtual desktop manager.

8. XSettings:
- Implemented the "enable RENDER Extension" setting.

Known problems and limitations

1. Lpd:
- Printers on the remote MS Windows NT4 hosts are unavailable from the local host under MS Windows NT4.

2. NFS-Server:
- There can be problems on PCs with several IP addresses.
- Some Linux NFS-3 Clients may issue an error message (about the wrong file ID) because of wrong packets unwrapping in the Linux's "nfs3xdr.c" module.

3. NFS-Client for Windows 9x:
- The PC must be restarted after you change the license file, "xwpdllid.dll".
- Can fail when connecting to an NFS server on another PC under Windows 9x if both PCs have Client/Server for Microsoft Networks installed.

4. XServer:
- Drawing partial arcs can be very slow.
- The CDE/XDMCP of the HP-UX host can provide infinite waiting time for a connection. To avoid this, the new "HP" fonts alias directory should be included into the XServer FontPath.
- The "Forced Backing Store" setting can provide wrong screen re-displaying in some cases (e.g., Netscape scrolling).

PLEASE NOTE:

The programs associated in this package may send and/or receive broadcast IP requests. Since such packets cannot cross the nearest firewall/gateway/router, please be sure that these IP requests are invisible from outside your network. We assume that such behavior cannot be considered as "Hacking" or "Trojan horse's action".
