v 4.11 06-16-94
---------------------------------
External PPE would not Run !! FIXED
Added an option to set the Number of Sysop's to 0 so no User's can
Leave FeedBack!!
v 4.10 06-03-94
---------------------------------
Well it seems that the Matrix v 4.00 did not check the PCBoard's Tcan file
for names not to be used, Fixed in this version.
v 4.00 05-06-94
---------------------------------
There was a problem with the 4.00b4 with the .key file, I was not taking
into account the MAX Length of the Board Name in PCBoard.Dat, This has
been fixed So any of you that had problems with the new .key file not
Working it should work in this Release.
v 4.00b6 05-03-94
---------------------------------
Made all the NewUser Entry for Password and so on Configurable
for the positions of the prompts and the boxes that display.
And YES there is a config file for this called MATRIXN0.LC
Removed Line 21 from the Matrix.Cfg file
File's that have changed!!!!
----------------------------
Matrix.cfg
Matrix.new
Matrix1.new
Matrix.als
New Files
----------
Matrixn0.lc
v 4.00b5 05-01-94
---------------------------------
Well it seems that I broke the DOS Matrix in the begining of the v4.00
series of the Matrix, This has now been fixed, It also now uses the
Random type Screens that are used with the Lightbar Matrix as far as
When a User Checks, Apply's or Enter's the System!!
v 4.00ß4 04-25-94
---------------------------------
So many changes in this Version that we have now went to Version 4.00!!
REGISTRATION has changed now we are using a Matrix.KEY file for this.
Remove line one from the Matrix.cfg file, This was the old Reg Number.
File's that have changed!!!!
----------------------------
Check.cnf
Tht-info.lvl
Matrix.cfg
Matrix.lc
Matrix.new
Matrix1.new
Matrix.als
New Files
----------
Prot.cnf
Prot.hdr
Prot.ftr
Msg.cnf
Hangup.cnf
Matrixn0.lc
Fully functional Version even if Not REG'ED.
There is still one BEG message at the End of this PPE if not REG'ED!!
Remove lines 2,8,9,10,12,24,30,31 from the Matrix.cfg file and put these
into the Matrix.lc file, This was done to make sure that all Random screens
can have there own color Prompt's for the User's.
Added another .CNF file for the HANGUP.PPE this has replaced the way
it was done before. There are only two line in this one very easy to setup.
Removed three lines from the THT_INFO.LVL file since they have been replaced
by the Hangup.CNF and the one other line was no longer being used.
These lines are 1,2,4
Added one more line to the msg.cnf file for the location of the
Sending Message to Sysop display. This is now Line Number 16.
Added Alias Support in this version, Also added one more line to the Matrix.CFG
File for the display for When a NewUser's Alias was already Found in the Records
This is line 43 in the Matrix.cfg.
Also changed the Way One Name User record LOOKUP is done, This had to be
Done to allow NewUser that are tring to use one of the OneNames user's
Name as part of the Login Name. Because of this One Name user's will have
to enter there Name then enter and then there Password.
Changed the Display option for LOCKED out User's to be able to display
a File as long as the entry in the MAtrix.cfg has a "%" as the first
character.
Almost all display files have been move to a seperate directory since
the main Matrix sub was getting to cluttered, This dir is called SCR
it should be created under the one you have the Matrix installed in.
Fixed a problem with the internal Checking for newuser's votes when
the user had fewer than 4 character's for a last name or fewer than three
characters for a first name.
Adding a display file for the Voting status, And for when the Sysop
has the System set to allow Voted out users to gain limited access
to the BBS. These files are called CHECK.DSP & LIMITED.DSP.
Added 14 lines to the bottom of the CHECK.CNF file for placement of the
Prompt's that are displayed to the user when they are checking for Access.
Added a new config file for the Message Entry, Now all locations , Prompts
Length of the Header are configurable, This should help in this area.
Config file is MSG.CNF, Also added the number of lines tht have already
been typed.
Made the internal protocol Screen totally definable by the Sysop
This includes Colors positions and whatever else you might think of..
Config file is PROT.CNF , PROT.HDR is the Header display file,
PROT.FTR is the Footer Display File
v 3.60 04-10-94
---------------------------------
Removed some code that was no longer being used, Made the LightBar move in
Both directions, Added one more line to the Matrix.lc file for the location
of the System Password prompt. Made a Clear Screen where the NUP was displaying
when a new user was trying to Apply and you have NUP set to "Y".
Added another Display file call NUP.PCB this is what will be displayed to
NewUser's when you are running the NUP set to "Y".
Have removed All but one Unregistered Blinky from the Matrix, There is still
One in it right at the End before the user gets into the Board.
Well it seems I created a Bug in version 3.50 where if a user entered
there Handle and password all on the Handle Line it would not take the PW
This was working in v 3.41 but was broken in 3.50.
FIXED!!!!!!
v 3.50 04-??-94
--------------------------------
There has been a bug in the Matrix for a long time it seems, When a newuser
enter's there login name and it's found in the TCAN the next time they enter
a login name it tells them that they have had a Password Failure and either
asks them if they want to enter a comment to the Sysop or Logs them off.
FIXED!!!
Also added one more line to the MATRIX.LC file for the location
of the Password Found in Tcan prompt.
I maybe adding the Display Prompt to the matrix.lc Also so that you can
Really Customize the Login entry even further.
Added one line to the Matrix.cfg file at 43 for the line number at
which the Wait prompt will appear.
v 3.41 04-01-94 ------> Major UPGRADE
The MATRIX.CFG & MATRIX1.CFG files have change and the older one's will
Not work with this version at all.
--------------------------------
the Matrix.cfg and Matrix1.cfg has changed, the lightbar prompts that
where in the Matrix.cfg file are now in the Matrix1.cfg. This was done
so that Sysop's could have different Length Prompts for there Random
Display Files. It would be a good idea to check these files and make
the nessesary changes to your existing .cfg's.
In this version there is another small config file that lets you change
the positioning of the login Prompts, This will let Sysop's create there
own MATRIX.DSP Display files and position the System Password, First, Last
and other display Prompt where ever they may like. This file is Called
MATRIX.LC, This file has been setup to do random display screens.
Added two very small PPE's in this version that replace PCBTEXT recoder's
"53 -> HTNEWON.PPE" & "92 -> HTWRONG.PPE", These two PPE's also read the
Same .cnf file called HTNEWON.CNF for there Prompt.
Fixed one small Problem with 3.32 where if the Sysop was using the
the Blank System Password the Matrix would Display the Prompt with
No System Password to go along with it.
also put the Wait prompt back in since User checking for access may not
be able to see tha System Password that is displayed if they have no
Back Window.
The internal InfoForms in the Matrix will only give Unregistered User's
only ONE Infoform that can be used, The REgistered version you can use
as many as you wish.
v 3.32
--------------------------------
small problem with one name user's and a PW Fail Message is now Fixed
v 3.31
---------------------------------
Small Problem with RegNumber's
Fixed
v 3.30 ----> Upgrading to this Version MATRIX.CFG file needs changes!!!!
---------------------------------
Added a Disclaimer Prompt and screen to the Matrix, This means there are
Two new files called " Legal.txt & Disclm.cnf " there is an option in the
Disclm.cnf if you don't want to use this option.
Also now in the Internal InfoForms when the NEWUSER get's to the point
where he must enter a Validation Message to the Sysop I am useing the
Matrix's Message Editor instead of the one that is used in the External
Version of the Infoforms.
Added two more lines in the MATRIX.CFG file for the Display's for NewUser's
When they Get to the Enter a Message for Validation, this will display
if they try to Abort Message Entry or if they try to Save a Blank Message.
Line's 45 & 46 have changed
Added the ability to skip the LAST NAME prompt for those Boards that don't
want that prompt it is now Configurable though the Matrix.cfg file
line # 47
Removed the Wait Prompt after the User enters there Password, This was done
because of the fact that alot of user's hit the enter key more than one time
at that wait prompt and this would result in a Wrong Password Entered display.
Also now if you have no SYSTEM PASSWORD set in the MATRIX.CFG it skips
The Prompt for it.
v 3.20
---------------------------------
Ok well I made the Internal Infoforms totally Color configurable
also the Infoform Header and Footer are Now external Display files
for those of you that wish to make changes to this it's now Possible
And it seems that the 5 min. that I was giving to the user's when they got
to the Internal Infoforms was not enough so now it's 15 this should be plenty
Change the Zip Code part of the PCB PSA input to allow LETTER's
This seems to be a must for Canadian Sysop's.
v 3.12
---------------------------------
And still this problem existed with Newuser's and the Internal Infoforms
FIXED!!!!!!!
v 3.11
---------------------------------
This is a real quick release to take care of a problem with the
Internal Infoforms and Newuser's that apply by inputing the whole name
on the first line where it asks for your first name, It seems that
the users name was not being properly stuffed to PCB after the Infoforms
Also removed the external Infoforms since they are no longer needed
By the Sysop's running the Matrix, The Infoforms will be Released
in there own PKG from now on.
Also am adding 5 min to the newuser's time when entering the Infoforms
so that PCB does not Terminate the user before they can fill then out.
v 3.10
----------------------------------
Ok well there was a small problem with the Internal Infoforms
in the Matrix, 1 was if this option was used then the newuser's
City was not being put in the DATA for NUV.
Also since this was the First release of this Imbedded Infoform's
and it can not log the newuser off since they are not in PCB at the
point after they fill out the Infoforms, I have put a very Small
PPE in the PKG called HANGUP.PPE this should go where the old
THT-INFO.PPE was, It will hangup on the Newuser at that point.
Also removed line 6 from the Matrix.cfg make Sure you do this
in the matrix.cfg if you are upgrading from v 3.00
v 3.00
Make sure if you are upgrading from a previous version READ this!
----------------------------------
Removed all the code for the Termination DATES now there will be
No Expired PPE's from now on, The only thing that I added instead is
the OLD UNREGISTERED thing I put in some of the older Version's.
Change the way the Matrix will take the user input, Now if a user
Checks for access and enters there Name and then there Password
it get's passed correctly.
Also in this version I have included the THT-INFOforms inside
of the Matrix now if this option is turned on the InFoForms
will display right after the Last Question on NewUser's this
should make all InFoform's input some what simpler and easier
for the Sysop's to setup and have it working..
Removed the Syspass and Backdoor Passwords!!!!!!!
Added a Black List file for those user's that you wish to
Black-List from tring to apply for access. "BLACK.LST"
Added two options to the Check.cnf file for the Level to give to
a user that is rejected my NUV and also an option to set the users
Delete Flag in the user record.
v 2.28 - v 2.99
----------------------------------
Never Released inhouse TEST Version's
v 2.27
----------------------------------
Fixed a bug in the newuser part of the Matrix when a three name user
would apply for access it was not properly checking all three names
against the trash can file.
Well it seems that there has been a bug in the Random Screen's,
The Way I found out was when I tried to install the 9th Ramdom
Screen, It would not come up at all!!!
Fixed.
Also removed the Blinking Unregistered display from All PPE's
in this PKG, All PPE's still need to be Registered but now that
Blinking display has been Removed But also there is a Termination
Date installed in the PPE's, This will let you Evaluate them
and if you would like to keep running the THT-PPE's then
Register them with Thomas E. Enstall @ <<THT>>
Also change the Registration Number's since so many of you said you where
Going to send in the Fee and have not Your Number's will no longer WORK!
For those that have a REAL Registered version contact THT and you will
Recieve your New Number's. All you all will have to do is run "REGIT"
I have re-writen this Program also now it uses a DATABASE to give out
your number's so if you are not in the database no number's will be
Generated also if your user name on THT is not the same as the one you
Use in PCBoard.dat then I will have to generate a number for you since
the REGIT uses your user name to get the number's.
All THT PPE's now have new number's, Sorry about this but it seems that
there are Sysop's out there that are not good on there WORD, Where I
Come from your Word is GOLD. But as I have said there are alot of you
out there that think This Program should be free, Well Sorry but it is
Not and your Numbers will no longer Work Contact THT this time send
The Small donation. No Number's will be generated without the REG Fee!!
v 2.26
----------------------------------
Removed Line's 23, 30, 31, 36 from The MATRIX.CFG file
Since these are nolonger Being Used.
Added Writing to USERNET.XXX of the Status of what the User is
Doing inside the Matrix
v 2.25
----------------------------------
Added reading of the TCAN file that is setup in PCBsetup
for NewUser so that if there is a match it tell's them they
can not use this login name and dumps them back to the Enter
You Name prompt again, This was done so that when a newuser
apply's for access and they use a name that was in tcan when
the Matrix would dump there data to PCB it would Log them off
with excessive input error's because it would not accept the
Name as it was entered.
Also am adding a PWDCAN for PassWords that are not allowed on Your
Board.
Added TWO displays to the MATRIX.CFG file for the above
v.2.24
----------------------------------
Well changed the Way Login works before after entering the System password
The Matrix would drop you to PCB now it jumps to the Enter Your Name
Prompts and does a turbo Login afterwards. Changed all FDPUTLN commands
to FPUTLN because it is still having problems with this new Command
and some versions of the Beta's Since alot of you do not update the beta's
All the Time.
v 2.23
----------------------------------
Recompiled version 2.22 and removed the Termination Date for the
Unregistered Version.
v 2.22
----------------------------------
Added some more Checking when NewUser's Apply for access and they are
entering there Password now we are check for more of a name match with
there Login Name, Changed the way the internal Check PPE figures the Votes
so now if a user get voted in or off the Board it will stop checking as
soon as it reaches the number of votes setup in the Check.cnf file.
v 2.21
---------------------------------
The Code has been optimized now it's about 9k Less than it was in 2.18
Also added code so that when a newuser apply's for access he will not
be able to enter a password that has part of the login name as PCB does.
This change also uses the PCBTEXT Prompt 709
v 2.19
---------------------------------
This one was never Released it was an inhouse TEST of alot of
Code changes.
v 2.18
---------------------------------
Optimized the Code some more since it's getting so large, Made a small
Change to the New User Checking this may clear up a few Problems
that some Sysop's have been having.
v 2.17
--------------------------------
Fixed a few small display problems, God I wish they would come out
with a REAL RELEASE of the COMPILER, Well got a newer Compiler
Last night when compiling the Matrix and then tried to run it
The Displays where funny, PCB 15.1 as of 01-11-94 & Compiler
as of 01-12-94 Well when PCB 15.1 is release Hopefully the Code
will not have to be changed again.
THIS IS WHY THEY CALL IT BETA !!!!!!!!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------
v 2.16
-------------------------------
Well in this version I have optimized the Code
added support for NUP to gain access to the Apply command
this means that a NewUser must know the NewUser PassWord to even
get this far. Since the New Compiler came out and the newer Versions
of PCB 15.1 handle the PPE's differently had to change alot of the Code
so that the 15.1 would work properly. Changed the Message Header
so that now it Displays the User's Name and Subject.
01-12-94 v 2.15
------------------------------
Fixed small bug in the Message Editor and another little problem
with the way a user was able to leave a Comment when they had to
many PassWord Failures.
v 2.14
-------------------------------
Well found a few problems with the way I was handling the PSA's if they
where installed mostly it was display problems fixed!!
There has been a problem in the FeedBack option from the Matrix
one of the things was if you where to type something in the field
for selection of the Sysop to send mail to then back space though it
then tap enter it would go to the Message entry point FIXED!!!
Also added some code so if a User was to enter a long message to one
of the Sysop's the Header would go away now the text scrolls up the screen
and the header is not moved at all.
Added code so that if the Sysop has the System setup so that a user can
Leave a Comment on PassWord Failure then it will through them into the
Message System so that the User May Leave a Comment.
01-07-94
-------------------------------
Found a nasty BUG in Matrix v 2.13 say if a user had the knowledge of PCB
he could possibly gain access to your Board with SYSOP LEVEL ACCESS.
For this reason I would get rid of v 2.13 & any earlier Version's at this
time.
01-12-94
------------------------------
And to you HACKER's out there Hex-Editing the PPE's from now on may
have a lasting affect on your Machine, I will not say anything more
about the Code I added to guard against these LAMER'S....
Since $10.00 was to much for them to pay to get a REAL Reg Number for
the PPE's now Registration has gone up it's now $20.00....
Also Change the Registration PART of the Program, If you have sent
in the Registration FEE then Please give me a call I will provide
you with your NEW Number's
v 2.13
-------------------------------
Well still there has been a few Bugs crop up, One had to do with the way
NewUser where handled in some cases if you had replaced prompt 53 with
say a ppe that could have caused some problems also there was a problem
with the DOS Matrix where you couldn't turn off the Run another PPE
and the PAGE.
01-04-94
Well there was a bug in the way I was doing the Checking for the
NewUser's it had to do with user's that used a period in there login
name this has now been fixed.
v 2.12
-------------------------------
Cleaned up a Bug in the way the Matrix was reading the Level's
I was reading the wrong Variable, Made some changes to the
Registration Number so that Boards that use HighAscii character's can
now be Used. Added a few more Prompts to the MATRIX.CFG so take a look
Before you install it. This one seems to be stable I have tested it on
The Hard Times BBS for almost a week Now with no apparent Problems.
Also am Adding 5 minutes to the Time in the Matrix because of the Fact
that if a newuser is coming in and is taking his time filling out the
Info PCB would display the 3 minute warning in the screen and then
all cursor Location's afterwards wouldn't be Correct.
v 2.11
-------------------------------
Well it seems that I was to hasty in Releasing v 2.10
It had a few really bad Problems, Like not checking the voted status
of User's that are still going though NUV. and some other really strange
problems this Version should Fix most if not all of these problem.
Aslo added to the archive my little ppe that will force all user's to
use ANSI Color.
v 2.03α started 12-22-93
--------------------------------
Well in this one I changed the way the Matrix treats the Check for access
prompt now if it's the DOS Matrix it will no longer display the Box like
it will when you are in the LightBar Matrix, Also if you are in the LightBar
Matrix and go to check for Access it no longer Display's the Second Box
this makes the display look cleaner, Also added a Turbo Key for those
that have been Accepted as a User it will tell them the first time they
Check for access what the Turbo Key is. Added to the Config file for the
Prompt for when you are using the DOS Matrix is Now configurable also
added an option to run another PPE from the Matrix Menu. Also
added the Prompt for the Turbo Login Key to the config and an option
of "Y" or "N" if you want to use it. Added a Password for the user's to
enter when they Check for there Access this has to match there password
before they will be able to see the System Password, Also had the turbo
login dump the PassWord so there is no Delay getting into the Board as
long as they are a Valid User. Added some code to take care of registering
NewUser's into the Board it will now ask all the Question's that PCB does
before they are dump to PCB so they can be added to the user file.
Added code for the NewUser's to pick there default Protocol.
Added a fix for the PAGE now it will only work between the time's that
you have in PCBoard.dat, Change this after I had a user Paging me
at about 4:30AM, Also now you can hit the space bar to start the chat.
Alot of new option in the config file THIS IS a MAJOR UPGRADE!!!!!!!!!.
Also added the Registration Code Back in You will need to obtain
you Registration Number from <<THT>>
Added one Entry to the Check.cnf the first line now should be either
a "Y" or "N" this is for the Matrix Mostly to tell it if you are going
to use the checking for NewUser Voting.
v 2.03α was and never will be released to the Public!!!!!
It will be Released as v 2.10 because it will be a Major Upgrade.
with alot more option's for the Sysop to use.
v 2.02
--------------------------------
Well since there hasn't been any report's of bug's
Even though there have been a few that this release
take's care of, Like the NO Header when using more than
one Sysop for FeedBack, and when a NewUser is going though
NUV Matrix was not Counting the Votes correctly this has now been FIXED.
v 2.01
--------------------------------
Removed all Registration Code.
Added More Sounds to the Sysop Page and
also added to the Configuration file for the Number of times a user
May Page the Sysop before they Are Logged Off.
v 2.00
--------------------------------
Major Upgrade
Had to change the way the InfoForms where writing the User's file
names because of this all the NewUser's data file now have the Last
4 characters of the Last Name instead of the Last 3 characters
v 1.10
--------------------------------
Well it seems that I forgot about PCB and Three Name user's
this is now Fixed.
v 1.01
--------------------------------
change the matrix.cfg file for the use of multiple Sysop's
to send mail to, Also cleaned up the Code.
v 1.00ß
--------------------------------
First Release
And I repeat DO NOT HEX-EDIT This Code.
And BTW none of the Code came from Liquid Flesh.
Future of the Matrix
--------------------------------
?????????????????????????
