[v4.9] Now supports Comm Ports 0-15
Hall of Fame routine was working only partially. Correct
player was listed in HOF, but with a blank score.
If no one played the door or if the highest score obtained
during the month was zero, the game will NOT show a Hall of
Fame entry for the month.
Callers will be required to answer the "Want Instructions.."
question with a Y or N. This was required to circumvent a
problem encountered when running under WildCat's IM version.
Hall of Fame display was always displaying in color, regardless
of the color setting of the current session.
12/25/92
[v4.8] BRUN45.EXE no longer required!
Added support for Fossil-based Multi-Port cards!
New Configuration option to allow Sysop to choose whether
they want the computer to allocate 999 games to them or if
they just want to be like any other caller.
Corrected an alignment problem with the SUNHOF.ASC/ANS files.
All entries, from this point on, will be aligned properly.
You will have to manually align the existing entries (after
the next monthly maintenance run).
The Hall of Fame list will now be displayed to the player
after the High Scores (if the SUNHOF.ANS is found and the
Door is registered)
10/22/92
[v4.7] "Illegal Function Call" error occured if you won the
'POOL' and the 'POOL" points were greater than 9999.
10/16/92
[v4.6] "File already open error" when performing Monthly
Maintenance.
10/10/92
[v4.5] Added support for TRIBBS software. We now access the
TRIBBS.SYS system file directly!
After a CHAT or DROP-TO-DOS the game screen will now be
restored to its original state.
A bug has existed in the monthly Hall of Fame routines
whereby the wrong player may have been credited with being
the high scorer for a particular month.
If a player had a Hiscore, it was not being displayed until
after they played the first game.
This version of Hiroll introduces "POOL" points. When you end
up losing points, Hiroll will place them into a "POOL". This
"POOL" will continue to accumulate all points lost by any
player. It will also accumulate the points lost by those
playing on any other node(s) at the same time. The "POOL"
points will be updated on the players screen REAL TIME (at the
moment the player on another node loses points). The "POOL"
points can be won by any player, if they remove all the
numbers in the BONUS round. Prior versions awarded a 5000
bonus if you cleared all the BONUS numbers. The minimum amount
in the "POOL" will be 1000 points.
06/19/92
[v4.4] Reported problem that regardless of the number of games
allowed, if the player played all they could for the day,
the message they received indicated they had played 99 games.
Made some changes to fix the TIMEOUT errors encountered
when usinga 486 with/without DesqView. Need feedback !!
Made some changes to correct the Error #6 (Overflow Error)
when using SpitFire version 3.2/SFDOORS.DAT. I need some
feedback on this one as well!
Added support for GT Power's GTUSER.BBS file. To use this
you will be required to add to lines to your configuration
files. Please see Docs for changes. Need some feedback on
this as well!
High score was not being shown on the first game played.
06/07/92
[V4.3] Sorry for the rash of updates, but had to fix these bugs!!
When quiting the game before completing a game, the Hiscores
would not display. Only showed the heading!
Was not displaying the correct number of games the caller
was allowed to play.
[v4.2] 'Illegal Function Call' Error (Error #5) encountered
under CERTAIN conditions.
06/05/92
[v4.1] Found a few problems, just after releasing v4.0
Corrected the Hiscore headings (wrong program name)
When choosing the "+" option to display the Hiscores, you
would not see any entries until you have played the 1st game.
HiScore was being updated twice if you chose the "+" option.
When changing to the internal method of creating the Hall of
Fame files (SUNHOF.ASC/.ANS), I neglected to provide a way
for you to copy them to a bulletin of your own name/location.
With this version I have added 2 entries to the CFG file that
allows you to define the Drive\Path\Filenames for these files.
>>>>>>>>>> NOTE: You MUST discontinue use of SUNHOF.EXE for this DOOR!!!!
06/04/92
[v4.0] Major revision, therefore the version number jump!!
Added a MAKE-UP-PLAYS feature that allows the caller to makeup
game plays they may have missed during the current month. This
will afford those callers that do not call every day, an equal
chance to compete with callers that play every day.
Config file lines 6 and 7 have changed!!!!!!!
Be sure to read Documentation!!!
Automatic game reset will take place when the first caller of
the month plays the game. Two Hall of Fame bulletin files will
be created (SUNHOF.ANS and SUNHOF.ASC) and all scores cleared.
Be sure to read the Documentation!!!
You can now use an environmental variable for Non-Standard
IRQs. This will eliminate the need to have multiple batch
files to execute the door. See DOCs under NON-STANDARD COM
SUPPORT for details.
You can now use environmental variables, on the first line
of the configuration file. This will eliminate the requirement
that you create an individual configuration file for each node
in a multinode environment (ONE config file for ALL nodes!!).
See DOCs under MULTI-NODE SETUP for details.
Expanded game to accept 7-digit scores (max:9,999,999).
When trying to backspace over characters you entered, while
logged on LOCALLY, the system would lock up.
02/17/92
[v3.4] The playing board was being redrawn every time you played
a new game AFTER you had played the Bonus round.
When trying to backspace over characters you entered, while
logged on LOCALLY, the system would lock up.
Added another on-screen option to re-draw the screen. Very
helpful when caller encounters line-noise and the screen
gets messed up.
Made some changes to fix the TIMEOUT errors encountered
when usinga 486 with/without DesqView. Need feedback !!
Made some changes to correct the Error #6 (Overflow Error)
when using SpitFire version 3.2/SFDOORS.DAT. I need some
feedback on this one as well!

files. Please see Docs for changes. Need some feedback on
this as well!
12/29/91

may be played (each time caller enters the Door), based
upon the user's security level. This requires a
configuration file change. SEE DOCS for DETAILS!
10/17/91
[v3.1] Added a colorized Bulletin. Config file change !!

IRQ3/IRQ4). See docs for implementation.
03/24/91
[v2.5] When presented with the "Press ENTER or E to exit" message,
pressing the E caused another "Press ENTER to continue"
message to appear. Eliminated the second "Press ENTER..."
message after you press an E to exit.
The Top Score file has been modified to include the
date the score was attained. It will also display
that date when the .SCO file is displayed.
You MUST run SCOCNVRT to convert a current .SCO file.
Proper syntax : SCOCNVRT HIROLL
When using DORINFOx.DEF, the door would stop at the start
of the game and require a key press to continue.
When using DORINFOx.DEF, the BBS NAME was not being picked
up from the configuration file and was not picking up the
correct NODE number from the configuration file.
