Revision: Benderlink for BLM 3.1

New Automatic BLM Backup File

Benderlink now creates a backup of the BLM file loaded in memory just before loading the file. The backup file will always have the filename extension "blm$". This protects against any possible file corruption through accidental correction, or incorrect correction.

New Confirm File Overwrite

Uniquely Name Benders for Each Bender Number

Benderlink now allows you to program unique names for each bender. As the operator switches benders, the new bender name is displayed on the top of the main Benderlink screen.

The bender name is now also in the Bender Number Selector Window:

HOW TO CONFIGURE THE NAME

Benderlink now requests operator confirmation when the operator is asking for a file overwrite during SAVE.

Description

Use the new field in the Bender Type window in Options to change the value. (Note: This is a low level menu that usually requires a password for entry.)

DO THIS

Select a bender number then enter the new bender name in the edit box.

Enter a unique name for every bender that is active on your Benderlink network.

Four New Passworded Sections

There are four new passworded sections available within Benderlink using the Password Manager software available to administrators.

They are BENDER, CHANNEL, GET, and SEND:

Channel Selection	The password is requested when pressing the green checkmark button to exit the Selection Dialog
