HISTORY.DOC FSLOGIN 1.3
--------------------------------------------------------------
This document contains information about the changes that were
made to the Full Screen Login program in time. From version to
version there have been small bug fixes, textual changes,
functional enhancements as well as documentation enhancements.
Version 1.0 March 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------
After beta testing several months with a group of seven
volunteering supervisors and their users this version was
released in the first week of march 1993 on a Dutch BBS.
From version 1.0 to 1.1 April 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------
The detection of monochrome displays connected to a VGA
adapter has been improved. There have been some cases of
'grey', almost unreadable screens on some types of machines.
The user interaction has been enhanced by using an Accept
button field in the Login Data and the Password Expired forms.
This makes it more intuitive that the form as a whole must be
acknowledged.
A RRS (Registration Reminder Screen) has been added. This
small window will contain the name of the company and/or
department for registered users.
An installation batch file has been added. Not that
installation has been difficult, but this will save some time
and make an eventual update easier to do.
The fslogin.com file has been optimized. So it's even smaller
then it was before. There are however no functional
differences between fslogin.com (1.0) and fslogin.com (1.1).
The two versions can be mixed.
The fslogin.ovl has been optimized as well. Despite the added
code for the accept button it is about 10 kb smaller.
From 1.1 to 1.2 May 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------
This version comes in two languages now, English and Dutch.
Choosing a language is a matter of installing the right
support files. The INSTALL.BAT file has been changed to do
this.
The documentation and help file have been changed to reflect
the membership of the Association of Shareware Professionals
(ASP).
The keyboard buffer is cleared at the very beginning of the
program, thus preventing some 'stuff' to go into the form
unexpectedly.
A bug has been resolved regarding the setting of the SYS:LOGIN
directory to the first network drive. This could occur when
the first network drive was not mapped to the default server
but to another (attached) server.
The Alt_F10 key has been disabled. The Alt-F10 is a standard
C-Worthy function to exit a program, but there is no way I
could assign an errorlevel to it.
From 1.2 to 1.2a June 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------
A new palette has been defined for monochrome VGA displays. It
now looks as it should be.
Support for the Novell Security fase 1 enhancement has been
added.
From 1.2a to 1.2b July 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------
The cursor is always visible in the input fields now, and the
cursor moves when typing in a password field, indicating that
something is happening.
The highlight (and cursor) is positioned in the password field
instead of the Accept field, when leaving the Password Expired
form with escape.
The file fslogin.cwa is closed as soon as possible. In
previous versions an update of FSLOGIN could run incomplete,
because 'someone' had fslogin active and fslogin.cwa was still
opened.
From 1.2b to 1.2c August 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------
The keyboard buffer clear has been moved from fslogin.com to
fslogin.ovl. This ensures compatibility with the NetWare
Access Server login method.
Several options are offered in the file fslogin.ini. There are
options for the screen dimmer, the escape key, the serverlist
function and the number of days before a password expires. See
the file fslogin.ini for more details.
There are some command line parameters to override the global
setting of the fslogin.ini file. These are:
!ne No Escape.
!nd No Dimmer.
!ns No Serverlist.
From 1.2c to 1.2d September 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------
New options have been added to fslogin.ini regarding the
presentation of the windows and the password fields (see
fslogin.ini).
The Accept button has gone.
From 1.2d to 1.3 December 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------
NetWare Name Service support has been added. FSLOGIN now
synchronizes new passwords in an NNS domain and provides a new
Login Data form with Domain specific information.
The new feature 'ServerGroup' can be used to define a logical
group of servers. FSLOGIN will synchronize new passwords of
users within this ServerGroup.
When using the variable FS_SRV=NONE there will be no default
in the Server field.
The ServerList function was enhanced. A custom list of servers
can be specified.
