08-14-93 ■ Release of Version 4.10a
. Released by Nicolas Nowinski of The Palace BBS @ 703-435-0114
Added a feature to prevent scripts from messing up. When using
RoboComm or any Script that uses the "V" it would hang, until a
timeout, because of an unrecognized Prompt. v4.10a will now
simply quite the PPE prompt after 20 seconds.
08-02-93 ■ Release of Version 4.00a
. The password expiration date was not being changed when a user
changed his password. Fixed.
06-16-93 ■ Release of Version 3.90a
. Changed all then valid character masks for input statements to
match that of PCBoard. This should fix the reports of users
entering characters in fields that should not be allowed.
06-15-93 ■ Release of Version 3.80a
. The code that reads the PCBoard "PWRD" file was not working that
well, so I rewrote the code to use an array to hold all the PWRD
information. This change has now fixed all the problems with the
change alias command. (hopefully!)
06-10-93 ■ Release of Version 3.70a
. WUI was not checking the PCBoard "PWRD" file to see if the "Allow
Alias" field was flagged, to stop the user from choosing an alias
name. Fixed.
06-10-93 ■ Release of Version 3.60a
. If the "Password-Changing Support" has been installed, PCBoard
keeps track of when your callers change their password (the last
date changed), the number of times they have changed it, and the
last three passwords used. It will prevent them from selecting
any of the previously used passwords. WUI was allowing them to
change it to one of the previously used passwords. Fixed.
06-09-93 ■ Release of Version 3.50a
. TCAN checking was no working correctly. Fixed.
. Removed some code in the last version that I didn't think was
needed anymore, I was wrong. Fixed.
06-08-93 ■ Release of Version 3.40a
. Added TCAN checking into the Alias Selection process.
06-04-93 ■ Release of Version 3.30a
. Added the ability to read the "PWRD" file and check to see if the
field for "DEMO ACCOUNT" has been enabled. If this field has a
"Y" in it, WUI will display a (SysOp definable) file, explaining
that the user is unable to use the (W)rite user info command.
. Added another display file (DEMO), this file will be displayed if
a user in NOT allowed to use the (W)rite user info command.
06-03-93 ■ Release of Version 3.20a
. The Password field was not properly updating the "PSA: PASSWORD"
stats. Fixed.
05-28-93 ■ Release of Version 3.10a
. Password change was not being saved to users record. Fixed.
(Sorry, about taking a couple days on this bug, but my SCSI card
went down.)
05-26-93 ■ Release of Version 3.00a
. Moved History information from WUI.DOC to this file (HISTORY.DOC).
. After adding the "PSA: PCBALIAS" I didn't realize that PCBoard
doesn't allow you to change the alias back and forth. The name
will remain "in use" until the next time you pack the users file
(or at least, reindex it). Because of this I had to try and come
up with a work around for this small problem. After a couple of
hours I think I have it. I have added a few more in's and out's
to the ALIAS input code, to make sure the alias is being changed.
I have included a BATCH file in this new version, this is for the
change alias command. If a user changes or deletes his alias WUI
will check for the file "INDEX.BAT". If found it will reindex the
users information. I have been told (David Terry) that there is
NO danger at all doing this while still online. It was brought to
my attention that this my be a bit slow. Well, I'm running a disk
cache that allows DELAYED TRACK WRITES, so this process only takes
about .01 sec. to complete. Turning off the delayed track writes
it took 2 seconds. Be sure to edit this file to fit your needs.
(The disk cache program I use is FLASH 10.0, it you want the best
give this cache a try. I use QEMM 6.04 and Lantastic 5.0 and my
six node system sure does fly.)
. Added the "PSA: PCBVERIFY" to the WUI menu. This was a tough one.
You must realize PCBoard added this as an extra security for the
users. Once they enter this information, allowing them to change
it at will, kinda defeats the purpose of using it. So, I seen that
the PCBTEXT has a prompt (707) just for this reason. If a user has
already entered the information for this field he will be ask to
re-enter it before he can change it.
. The (V) command has been totally changed. This was another tough
one. I had to take into account, if a user uses this command he
will be able to see the "PSA: PCBVERIFY" field listed. If this
field has any information in it, all characters will be replaced
by an "*". This way, he can at least know that this field does
have information in it.
WUI can also be used in place of your PCBoard (V)iew Stats command.
I edited my CMD.LST file so each time a user uses the PCBoard (V)
command, it loads WUI with a command line of "W V".
. Added "PSA: PCBSTATS" to the WUI code. This will allow the caller
the ability to track several pieces of information, along with a
record of security violation.
. Changed the WUI command prompt to account for the PSA's that have
been added.
. After running PCBoard without the WUI command I noticed that PCB
writes to the current node caller log. I have added all those to
WUI and then some.
. Created and added another SysOp definable (VERIFY) file. This is
used when a user uses the WUI "Y" command.
. The Phone number fields were not allowing a caller to input any
space characters. Fixed.
. Changed the look of the WUI main menu. The menu now shows the
callers "FULL NAME" and "SECURITY LEVEL".
. If a user entered the password field on the command line it was
returning to the WUI menu and not ending the PPE. Fixed.
If the a user entered two passwords that did not match WUI would
not allow him to try again. Fixed.
. The "A" command (Change your Password) was not taking into account
the PCBSetup field of "Minimum Password Length". This requires
that the "PSA: PCBPASSWORD" be installed.
Also, if the "PSA: PCBPASSWORD" is installed WUI will not allow a
caller to change his password if it's a subset of his user name.
. I have had a few requests to take the menu out of the code and put
it in a file that the SysOp can alter to fit his needs. Well, with
all the testing that would have to take place (PSA) I'm not sure if
this can be done, while keeping the menu the way it is. I will be
looking into this in the future.
05-14-93 ■ Release of Version 2.50a
. WUI was NOT checking to see if in PCBSETUP the option "Allow Alias
Change after Chosen" was set to "N", so if a user tried to change
his alias, WUI would let him to this. Now WUI will check to make
sure that this field is set to "Y", if it is and the user already
has chosen an alias it will NOT allow him to change his alias name.
. WUI was also allowing a user to enter an alias that was already in
use by another user. Now, once a user enters an alias name WUI will
see if that alias name is already in use, if it is the PCBTEXT record
256 will be displayed.
. Correct a spelling mistake in the "V" command.
05-11-93 ■ Release of Version 2.10a
. Added a check when the command line is used to make sure that the
PSA has been enabled before the prompt is displayed.
05-11-93 ■ Release of Version 2.00a
. Fixed a misspelled word in the main menu.
. You may now pass a command line argument. What this means is, if
a user wanted to just update his ALIAS name all he would have to
do is type 'W X' and the prompt "Alias Name (enter=no change)?"
would be on the screen so he could updated just that information.
. ALL the display files have been updated, so use the new ones and
not the old ones.
05-07-93 ■ Release of Version 1.01a
. Added a (V)iew command to the prompt. This allows a user to view
his stats while using this PPE program.
. Added a few cosmetic changes to the menu and prompts.
05-06-93 ■ Initial Release of Version 1.00a
