** HISTORY **
10/03/94 - 09:45:00
Version 2.0 was a total re-write. I converted DMCHECK from Clipper to C++
and by the same token reduced the size of the EXE from 273,408 bytes to
32,418 bytes. Added help for /Q function. Made a little more user-friendly,
i.e. error messages are a little more meaningfull and precise. Added
possibility of testing with the Version function the existance of DOOM ][
even if DOOM 1 was installed in the same directory, with versions previous
to this of DMCHECK, the first version in the directory was tested, and any
other were ignored.
09/26/94 - 08:39:00
Version 1.01 changed the info on DOOM ][ pirated/commercial to DOOM ][
first release and DOOM ][ second release based on the mail from John Romero
at id stating that the first 100,000 copies of DOOM ][ will be released
even if they are exactly the same as the pirated copy. Because of this, it
wouldn't be fair to prevent the use of that first release, since some
people will be buying it too. Added the /L function.
09/19/94 - 08:25:00
Version 1.0 added DOOM ver 1.0 & 1.1 sharewear and 1.1 registered support.
Still need 1.0 registered data (size, date and time of DOOM.WAD and
DOOM.EXE files). Corrected many help and /q parameter bugs. Added line for
Game Palace BBS in the help screen. Corrected all references to version 0.9
which is really version 1.0. Added SYBEX version support. Corrected major
bug in version test (didn't work at all!). Corrected small bug in date
function (didn't work if only time was to be changed).
09/12/94 - 09:20:00
Beta2 Corrected many typos, added the ASK function and perfected the What
function and Version functions. Got the data for the pirated version of
DOOM ][, but PLEASE PLEASE HELP, I *STILL* need the data for versions 1.0
and 1.1 of DOOM, the registered and sharewear copies. If you still have
them lying around, install them and send me the size, date and time of the
DOOM.WAD (or DOOM1.WAD) and DOOM.EXE files. Thanks!
09/09/94 - 15:39:00
Shortly after, the first beta was release that corrected the bugs with the
Change date/time function and with the Space bug. I still need the data for
versions 1.0 and 1.1 of DOOM.
09/09/94 - 14:24:00
A limited alpha was released with still a few bugs.
