engine. Changing any of
these items requires weather message server to be stopped and
restarted.
13.Changed the tcp/ip component.
The new component is more reliable.
14.
Added the ability to specify all upper case for email
and pager messages. This
option requires a registry key change.

program will now require this password before giving access to this
program.
3.
Added a new short message variable.
You can now use $BulletAT$ in the short message format.
This variable will pull all of the text associated a line
that starts with “* AT”. This
can be used to get the information from SVR and TOR message,
regarding the location of the SVR or TOR.
Note: This can
make the short message longer than what will fit on a pager.
The parse option may be needed to shorten the weather service
text.

The Options window now has an option “Show Message
Decode”. Enabling
this option will allow you to see the UGC line decoding in the
Weather Message Server Window.

This is helpful for debugging and is not needed during normal
operation. Disabling this option also reduces CPU loading.
