History of ProDOOR changes (in reverse order)
---------------------------------------------
28-May-90
Corrected decoding of some of the @x macros that produced very long
ansi codes.
Commas were not being inserted correctly in early 28-may betas.
27-May-90
Corrected invalid filename checks to properly detect overlong
filenames and filenames containing too many dots.
Corrected action of autojoin when non-stop is in effect.
NS is now recognized as autojoin at a read mail prompt when there are
no more available messages in the current conference.
26-May-90
Redefined ascii code 127 to function as ^G rather than ^H in visual
editor.
Corrected colors during command line input.
Corrected local non-graphic display to use the default colors instead
of white.
Changed visual edit to use entire screen in local mode, regardless of
the specified (P)age setting.
Corrected message entry to prevent corruption of message index when
(P)rotect command is used immediately following an aborted message
reply.
The (+) and (-) commands weren't working right following a two-letter
mail reading command (such as YA).
Added "/ $LASTMSGNO$" after display of current message number.
Added support for TO: @level@ and TO: @level-level@ security level
specific messages.
Added support for "unlimited" download bytes when download K limit
is set to 32767k.
23-May-90
Corrected "automatic CR" during message subject entry.
21-May-90
Corrected more ansi code display problems. Ansi displays should
again be working correctly at all times. All ansi decoding is now
internal-- you no longer need ANSI.SYS loaded for ProDoor/ProLogon
operation.
Changed (N)ew files scan to prevent setting the last-date-scanned to
a date in the future.
20-May-90
Corrected some ansi color code displays.
Corrected some colors on the call waiting control panel. I'm working
without a color monitor right now, so please keep me advised on colors
if they still don't look right.
Added '*' flagging of newer files in file listings.
The 'new files' function now updates the last-scanned date to that
of the newest file seen, rather than the current date.
19-May-90
Removed support for PCBTRAP.
Rewrote screen handlers for quicker displays.
Note: the environment setting
SET OVCRT=ON
may be needed under DesqView and other windowing/timeshare systems.
18-May-90
Removed the debugging message "DISP_MACFILE:" which I forgot to
remove after some testing last week.
17-May-90
Corrected a hardcoded limit that caused "earned K" values over 65535k to
rollover to 0. The door now locks the number at 65535 (the highest value
that can be stored in the allocated space).
Corrected free download handler to properly handle files processed by
DSZ when the directory was specified as part of the wildcard in
PROFREE.
15-May-90
Added logic to totally disable checks for the NS16550 buffered serial
chip. Add the environment statement:
SET NO16550=ON
to force the code to act like ProDoor/ProKit 3.1 did.
The main menu display wasn't correctly being bypassed when a command
was stacked at a 'press enter to continue' prompt.
14-May-90
Started work on ProDoor 3.3 alpha for full support of 14.5 file
formats.
Changed curconfh definition for compatibility with pcboard when
accessing conferences over #255.
14-May-90
Official release of ProDoor 3.2.
Corrected @Xhh handler to allow unlimited line lengths while displaying
text files.
Changes in ProKit library to return a caller count of -1 instead of
aborting when the @NUMCALLS@ macro is used, but the 'mainfn' variable
has not been initialized to point to the main MSGS file.
13-May-90
Changed download ratio system to include the selected file in the
ratio calculation instead of considering only past or queued
downloads.
The command translation system now checks for .NN conference specific
command translation files when an alternate language is not in use.
For example, the file PROXJOIN.10 defines the conference command
translations when in conference #10.
Added PROTRNS output translation support in ProEdit.
12-May-90
Increased stack allocation in PROXZIP module.
Corrected error message on duplicate uploads to exclude path to
upload directory.
Again removed debugging code.
Removed 'bulletins updated since last call:' message if the specified
BLT.LST file does not exist.
Added support for @Xhh color macros.
Added low level logic to retry failed read operations RETRY_COUNT
times; this may solve some READ FAILURE problems under networked
systems.
11-May-90
Changed OPEN logic to ignore extra entries in door definition lines.
This allows prodoor to use 14.5 format DOORS.LST files.
10-May-90
Increased stack size. Removed debugging code.
Corrected free download handler to properly handle files when the
directory was specified as part of the wildcard in PROFREE.
08-May-90
Added a check for upload ratio calculations when no uploads are
recorded and the sysop has specified 0 for the number of "free
uploads" in the PRORATIO file. The code now returns a D/U ratio of
9999 under these circumstances.
After some reports of strange runtime errors or program crashes, I
have decided to re-enable stack and rangecheck code in this beta.
Therefore, this bets is about 20k larger than the final code. If you
get any errors with this beta, please attempt to capture what leads
up to the error with SET PRODEBUG=ON so you can quickly report it
BOOSTERS.
In this beta, when SET PRODEBUG=ON is active, the door will print a
number of debugging messages on the local screen. PLEASE PRINT-
SCREEN THESE MESSAGES and report back with last few messages prior to
the program failure. I'd like to track down and fix this last bug
as quickly as possible so we can release 3.2 in the next week or so.
THANK YOU FOR COOPERATING!
Added new PROXJOIN command translation file, which is active at the
Join Conference Command prompt.
07-May-90
Corrected an error in PROSM that caused a runtime error when attempting
to increase message index blocks.
06-May-90
Changed DISP-filename translations in PROX???? files to allow a
command result after displaying a text file. For example:
6,D,D ;allow level 6 and up to use D
5,D,DISP-NOTREG B ;trap level 5 attempts
0,D,D ;allow lower levels to use D
This sequence will display the file 'NOTREG' and jump to the
bulletins menu for level 5 users who attempt to use the D command.
All other security levels will be allowed to use the D command as
normal.
Added new PROXFILE command translation file, which is active at the
(F)iles prompt.
05-May-90
Changed PROMORE filename to PROXMORE to follow the convention of other
command translation files.
Corrected a logic error that would sometimes cause a READBAS error at
