Version 1.1.10

  • Changed/Fixed - There is a runtime file that WavMan 32 and T-32 share called DWSPYVB6.DLL.  If one program was updated and not the other, errors would occur due to file conflicts with the aforementioned file.  Mostly due to those not restarting their computer after an installation (we are dead serious when we say this is a must with every install).   T-32 was recompiled using a different version of this file so that at any time WavMan and/or T-32 can be updated and this conflict will no longer occur.

  • Added - An option to have T-32 quietly check for updates when first signing on.  You are only notified if updates are available, otherwise you won't see anything  :)

Version 1.1.9

  • Fixed - Kill Statistics was not counting the 46 minute windows.  Popular feature it seems, the masses wanted a fix for this now!  <g>

Version 1.1.8

  • Fixed - Random, but too many reports about T-32 mistaking the 32 bit version of AOL for the 16 bit version.  This has been fixed.

Version 1.1.7

  • Updated - T-32 was recompiled and repackaged with updated runtime files so that it would be compatible with our other products.  This is a required T-32 update, we will no longer support previous versions and they will not work in conjunction with other programs we offer.

Version 1.1.6

  • Fixed - T-32 was having some kind of random problem seeing one's AOL folder on startup for the first time.

Version 1.1.5

  • Fixed - Terminator was not always remembering which interface style was chosen.  It would revert back to "AOL Style colors" on its own.

  • Changed - The new style "Choose AOL Version to Run" feature was reverted back to the previous style.  Apparently, the new style was a little tough for some to figure out. Should not have fixed what wasn't broken  <g>.

Version 1.1.4

  • Fixed - Options from the 1.0.x versions of T-32 were not transferring to the registry.  This was causing T-32 to prompt you for the AOL folder you were using upon startup of the new installation.

  • Updated - Microsoft decided recently they were going to update their core OLE files, so naturally its sort of a general programmers rule to distribute the latest runtime files available.  Those core OLE files have been added.  Bear in mind that after this installation the computer *MUST* be fully restarted or those files will not update.

  • Updated - Parts of the Help file were updated.

Version 1.1.3

  • Fixed - The Order Form wasn't properly formatting some of the requested information (D'oh!)

Version 1.1.2

  • New - Brand new interface design:   Your choice of standard Windows colors or AOL style colors...depending on what you like. (Applies to systems running 16 bit high color or higher...256 color systems will only see the standard Windows colors)

  • Fixed - Reports of lock-ups when T-32 was answering the "idle" window.  The timer delay for the 46 minute window was also extended to the "Idle" window which should slow the answering process of that window down to prevent lockups.

  • Fixed - Random Runtime #13 (Type Mismatch) errors on startup.  This should also be resolved.

Version 1.0.17

  • Two new features added by very popular demand:
    A choice of three different icons for T-32's tray icon feature.
    Auto-close welcome screen at sign on.

  • Some people were getting a runtime #6 (Overflow) at startup.  This was also fixed  :)

Version 1.0.15

  • The Signature Popup window was not popping up while T-32 was in evaluation mode.

  • The Auto-Launcher doing its thing either.   A few minor things were also addressed. 

  • T-32 has a new look!  We finally decided to get away from the same drab boring old look that makes T-32 look like other programs out there!

Version 1.0.14

  • Some people upgrading to the Deluxe version were experiencing Runtime #6 (Overflow) errors.  This was fixed  :)

Version 1.0.12

  • The Signature Editor when using AOL 3.0 would not always align properly for proper editing.

Version 1.0.11

  • Runtime #5 (Illegal Function Call) would occur if one attempted to click Del. Name in an Exceptions List (IMs and Buddy List Invites) if no names were saved.

  • The AOL software did not seem to like the new version of MSVCRT.DLL in our installation package.  It could potentially cause AOL to crash upon signing on.   We replaced this file with the version the AOL installer uses.

Version 1.0.10
