NAME

    MUI Fido File Request 1.2

DESCRIPTION

    MUI Fido File Request is a GUI for selecting files from a filelist,
    which almost every Fidonet mailbox provides for download.

    The list of selected files is written to a .REQ-file in your
    outbound directory.

    The next time you call up your Fido Boss these files are
    automatically downloaded by your Fidonet communications software.

    - two new environment variables MUIFFR/Outbound and MUIFFR/Config
      (suggested by Klaus Melchior)
    - bug removed: Filenames and passwords containing spaces inside of a
      .REQ file are not split in several parts any longer when loaded
      (reported by Matthias Scheler)
    - enforcer hit removed (WORD-READ), which appeared sometimes during
      startup
    - After a successful search the filelist listview gadget in automatically
