Version 1.01 Just program enhancements. No bug reports.
Version 2.00. No bug reports. RIME.ZIP file dated 11/07/90 had the state
file name STATES.RPT and I changed it to STATE.RPT because that is what my
STATE.EXE looks for. If you update the State and Hub reports yourself
please make sure that the names are STATE.RPT and HUB.LST. This version is
not downward compatible with earlier releases.
Because the format of STATE.RPT changed, I had to rewrite STATE.EXE as
well as PCRLIST.EXE to support the adding of the Hub ID in the Rime Data.
Version 3.00 New Release. With this version HUB.LST and HUB.EXE are no
longer required. If you are currently running PCRelay List Door that you
erase all files and start over, but make sure you save your *.CFG files.
The current version of STATES.RPT, 01-24-1991 now includes the Baud Rate,
and is now complete without the use of the HUB.LST information. This
version is not downward compatible with earlier releases.
Version 3.01. Corrected an error in the Hub and Node routines with the
exit routines. The program was going to the wrong line of code and
it looked like the computer locked up, but was really waiting for a
key press.
Version 3.02. Forgot to log changes. Not sure what I did. A new RIME.ZIP
containing STATES.RPT was included, but I made the mistake of not
checking the format, so this version does/did not run correctly.
Version 4.00. STATES.RPT's format changed, again, and for the life of
me I don't know why. First and last names are now each in their own
columns. Anyway, had to reconfigure the programs to read and index the
new format. Not really sure when this report changed, and it is my
fault for not checking.
Version 4.10. Redesigned the access to PCRelay List Help. It is now
accessable from each option instead of from only the Main Menu. There
is no longer a Help Menu, access now is directly into the first help
screen. You can exit at any point now instead of only at the end of
the help screens.
Version 4.11. Added 'Country' to all references to 'State', also
added some helps for entring the countries since Bonnie has chosen
not to use the international three character standard.
Version 4.20 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Added the ability to search
by the Sysop's last name.
Version 4.21 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Finally discovered that Bonnie
Anthony has some BBS systems with two sysops, one under first name
and one under last name. This program now uses the second sysop as
the sysop for those particular BBS systems. I would not have caught
this had I not started the search option for sysop's last name. And
then I did not catch it until after 4.20 was released.
Version 5.00 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Format in STATES.RPT changed
again. I hope I have fixed STATE.EXE to handle these kinds of
changes. Bonnie added some blank lines to the report and my
program could not handle them as it was. I caught the error that
caused the last record to be incomplete. I was exiting STATE.EXE
and closing a wrong filename. (dumb!) The program was not searching
for sysop's name correctly so I rewrote the code and added another
field to correct this. By doing it the search speed has increased.
I also added a few more bells and whistles to the door.
Version 5.01 (PCRLIST.EXE). Corrected an error in the BBS Name
routine that put you in Node ID option for all files when you
exited the name input field by pressing ENTER on a blank
line.
Version 6.00 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Corrected an error in
the Hub ID search routine that did not return the user to the
input postion for specific search criteria. This version also
uses new indexes that makes the searches much quicker and has
increased some searches by several hundred percent. A few more
bells and whistles have also been added.
Version 7.00 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Changed door to use a
registration serial number to avoid sysops having to send a
diskette to get an upgrade. No other changes were made to the
programs' operation.
Version 7.01. Fixed a bug in the serial number routine that
prevented all registrations from being acknowledged.
Version 7.02. Same fix as 7.01.
Version 8.00. Name changed to Rime List (RIMELIST.EXE) because
of the end of the PCRelay software and the fact that it should
have been Rime List to start with. (grin) Program now supports
many BBS formats and baud rates up to 115,200 and used Door
Patch 3.8 (DORPCH38.EXE). Read DOCs for details.
**** The RIMELIST.CFG file format has changed **** There is now
a 5th line that is for the Door Donar's name, sysop's name or
just "Your Sysop". The serial number is now line #6. Make sure
you add the needed line to your existing .CFG file or registrations
will not be acknowleged by the door.
Version 8.01. (RIMELIST.EXE / STATE.EXE) Name displayed in the door
was incomplete, now displayed as "The Rime List Door". Also changed
making city names that are blank in the STATES.RPT from Zs to the
the last city name. If the last city name was New York then first
blank city name is changed to New York. This will not work in 100%
of the cases but will work more times than not. It is still not my
fault that each entry in the STATES.RPT is not filled. Some are
blank to save having to type the data in each time by Bonnie Anthony,
some are blank because the city name was not supplied to Bonnie
Anthony. Please make sure you install and run the new STATE.EXE
program when upgrading the door.
Version 9.00 (RIMELIST.EXE / STATE.EXE) have both been upgraded.
This version is not downward compatible with earlier versions. The
Format of the STATES.RPT has changed, Site Numbers have been listed
and the Buad Rates dropped. The door now supports the Rime Network
under the Postlink software.
Version 9.01. (RIMELIST.EXE / STATE.EXE) Did too much converting
and changing in the upgrade to 9.00 and had several errors, one of
them fatal in the door code. I have correct all the errors that I
could find, also rewrote the online helps, which seem clearer. There
have been no bug reports (only one day since release) so I can only
hope I have caught them all! (grin) Also changed all the 'Z's to a
single '?' in what few blank fields the STATES.RPT now contain.
Overall the door "looks" a lot better. Could use some feedback on
it.
STATE.EXE version 9.01a. Found a non-critcal sorting error. If names
were in upper and lower case (The/THE/etc.) they were not sorted
correctly. City, BBS Names, Sysop last name are now converted to
uppercase before sorting. This corrects the sorting error. No update
to RIMELIST.EXE. I just added this file to current copy of TRLD-901.ZIP.
RIMELIST.EXE/RLCREATE.EXE(was STATE.EXE) version 10.0. Bonnie Anthony
renamed the STATES.RPT to LOCATE.RPT so I have changed the name of my
STATE.EXE program to RLCREATE.EXE (Rime List Create). Some of the
file names generated by RLCREATE.EXE have changed. If upgrading please
delete all old index files and start over with the new archive
TRLD-100.ZIP (v10.0). Also did some cosmetic changes inside the door
to make some things somewhat clearer.
Version 10.1. Fixed errors in the search by Node ID and Hub ID options
where "all records" were chosen. These were unreported errors! Changed
program so user is returned to option input when specifing specific
search criteria. Added "Sorted by: option" to the display so users know
which field the display is sorted by.
