Revision History for QNode
1.10 - First Public Release
1.20 - Added the EXPORT, FORMAT, IMPORT, and ALLOCATE commands.
Removed NETLIST/ZONELIST, replaced with more powerful IMPORT command.
Made private nodes work a little better about 'adopting' their hosts
identities. (Passwords are now properly adopted.)
Improved memory usage of userlist, added zones to the fidouser.lst.
Added disksort for userlist.
Added MODEMTYPE flags to every baud rate. (separate by a pipe)
Added the CALLCOST statement.
Added the DIALCOST table.
Added the HUBS keyword.
Added MsgFee to all cost tracking.
Send several copies to Bob Davis, and boy did he go over it. Thanks.
Made FIDOUSER.LST capitalize usernames
Added the ALLUSERS keyword.
Added the QDIFFMUL program.
1.30 - Added VERSION7 and QIDX.
Added Modem Type to every baud rate style.
Added INDEX keyword.
Added overdrive exclude processing. (Watch 'em fly)
1.31 - Fixed lost extensions from FORMAT and EXPORT commands.
Made a little faster yet.
1.32 - Added support for multiple nodelists.
Merged QDIFF and QDIFFMUL into QDIFF
1.33 - Added support for the HOLD keyword.
Enabled duplicate entries within indexes (DUPLICATE keyword)
Enabled FIDOUSER.LST generation if v7 mode (without INDEX keyword only)
Fixed some memory allocation errors if both indexes were being created.
Made Zone Admin changes (PASSWORD, BAUD, etc.) work.
Added LRU processing to index buffering.
1.40 - Fixed LRU processing to be much better
Fixed long sysop name bug in FIDOUSER.LST
Enabled point modifiers: Pvt, Down, Hold.
Made nodelist report count the overdrive exclude nodes.
1.41 - Oops, made QNode able to handle flags with lowercase letters (V32b)
Fixed private nodes again (evidentally private points broke them.)
Made ALLOCATE TEXT fixed to 128 when compiling FIDOUSER.LST, or INDEX
Added KEEP LASTUSER or KEEP FIRSTUSER option to userlist generation.
Extended the ADDR line to enable multiple prime addresses.s
Trimmed leading and trailing spaces from passwords.
Added string length checking to system name and location (v6)
Enabled 'fast' index segments. This generally speeds up index
operation. (Only active on the sysop index if you enable the
DUPLICATE keyword.)
Made held nodes be compiled into the nodelist. Lacking a better
description of what to do, they act as private nodes in nets other
than your own, and as normal nodes in your own nets.
1.42 - Added the 'USES' clause in front of many of the keywords. (This
enables the '!USES' clause.)
Enabled multiple output file nodelist generation. (NODELIST)
Added the 'ALLOCATE' clause in front of the BUFFERS keyword.
Fixed EXPORT listings.
Added the /Z parameter to QDIFF to stick ^Z's on the nodelist.
Extended QIDX to allow you to specify the files to be read and
written.
Added automatic EMS support for VERSION7 BUFFERS. (To disable,
use the '!USES EMS' command.)
1.43 - Added the 'DEFAULT FEE DOMESTIC' and 'DEFAULT FEE INTERNATIONAL'
lines. Also 'DEFAULT COST ...' and 'DEFAULT DIAL ...' Made the
parameters to the 'COST', 'DIAL' and 'DIALCOST' tables completely
optional by doing this.
Enhanced 'USES EMS', added 'USES DOUBLESWAP' and 'USES FIDOUSER'
Made it so you can redirect the nodelist statistics.
Allowed multiple spaces between commands and node addresses.
Disallowed comments on password lines to allow semi-colons in the
passwords.
Fixed QDiff with multiple applications of compressed nodediffs.
(It would sometimes apply them in the wrong order if compressed.)
Added /BINARY switch to QDiff (read docs before using)
Added 'TYPE COST', 'TYPE FEE', and enhanced 'USES FIDOUSER'.
1.50 - Official Release of 1.43
1.51 - Included a DPMI version of QNode, QDiff, QIdx.
Made the zone default to the zone over-ride for nodelists, just in
case your nodelist has no zone lines at all in it.
Added the 'REAL' and 'DPMI' configuration statements to limit
certain commands based upon which version of QNode is compiling it.
Made SYSOP.NDX have properly capitalized usernames. (QNODE)
Added the 'USES CRC' command to QNode. (It defaults ON)
Added the 'ALLOCATE NODELIST' command to QNode. (default to 65528,
older versions allocated 16384.)
Did several optimizations if you have a '386 processor.
Changed the '!' to a ',' in QDiff. (It'll warn you if you use the
exclamation point, but still works.)
Added the '/C' option to QDiff, and made QDiff and QNode able to
handle embedded CR w/o LF sequences in nodelists.
2.00 - 100% Rewritten. (QNODE, not QDIFF or QIDX)
Removed all old redundant keywords.
Added new redundant keywords:
COMPILE (NOTHING, EVERYTHING, MYZONES, STANDARD)
Removed 'USES CRC' from qnode. They are always calculated now.
Added the 'REPLACE' command. It's a combination of IMPORT/DELETE.
Added the 'AKA' command.
Added the 'FLAGBAUD' command.
Removed 'USES DOUBLESWAP'. Doubleswapping is automatically turned
on or off, based upon which setting will work most efficiently.
Added 'TYPE SCRIPT'.
2.01 - Added the interpretation of the single character flags: 9,A,B,D,E,F.
They will set the user-defined bits in the node entry.
Fixed ADD/DELETE, they were evidentally totally broken.
Resurrected the COST table. It wasn't being interpreted correctly.
Added the 'DIRECTPOINT' option to change the way passwords were
handled on private points.
2.02 - Official release of QNode v2.00/2.01.
2.03 - An 80386 function was getting executed at random times in QNode DOS
or DPMI, and not based on whether you had an 80386 processor.
Added the 'SCRIPT' command which somehow got removed.
The OS/2 version of QDIFF was stripping a character of the nodelist
filename accidentally. Now fixed.
Added the 'MODEMTRANS' command to QNode.
Added the ability for 'modification' nodelists.
These nodelists contain 'Zone', 'Region', and 'Host' entries in
the form: "Zone,1,->" which will advance the current node, without
entering a node in the nodelist. ONLY USEFUL IN VERSION7.
Can be used to add "Point,1,..." type lines in, other uses as well
though.
