History Follows:
30 December 1992
WhoCalled is now Network Smart.
25 December 1992
YES, Christmas Day I worked on WhoCalled V5.0!
Removed the "PACKING" from whoALL. Packing is NO LONGER
Needed. The utility is maintenance free.
This HAS it's drawbacks, though. I am checking and making
sure the files are available. If you have MANY nodes, and a
user is logging off one node, WhoCalled HAS to wait until
that node finishes working before it can continue.
The ODDs of this creating a TERRIBLE delay is just about NONE.
But I HAVE seen it happen. I attempt to open the file(s) 100
times, (about 20 seconds) and if the other node is hogging the
whoTEMP.fil(s), I abort and give the utility back to PCBoard.
18 December 1992
Fixed The "PACK" problem with WHOALL.EXE.
Changed/added/removed some of the cosmetics to increase
speed.
12 November 1992
It looks as though all the work that I've put into WhoCalled
has paid off. I've managed to have it finally write a bulletin
for ALL nodes. The output bulletin will be called WhoBull.ALL.
I will leave this version in beta for awhile. (4.0)
8 November 1992
I've been working on WhoCalled for FOUR days straight getting it
to record
a bulletin of ALL nodes.
01 November 1992
Fixed the problem with the new 2/1 node version PCBoard. Thanks,
Andy for your time.
** This Is The Beginning Of Version 3!
28 Oct 1992
Installed a "real" AVERAGE CPS count. (Earlier I was using the
last CPS count found in the log, for that call.) If you look
real hard, on the BATCH downloads, WHOCALLed does a BETTER
job than "someone" puts in the
callers log as the AVG CPS for ALL transfers during that
session.
I FINALLY managed to trap those little rascals if there was
either a user on line, (You NORMALLY couldn't run WhoCalled -
you would get the output with the bogus text next to the names.)
or if you want to run it while the callers file is being
accessed, you can NOW do that. If the callers session is
NOT complete, the utility will wrap around that call, in these
cases.
11 Oct 1992
If You Wish To AUTOMATICALLY Install Your $$LOGOFF.BAT Files
Into Your PCB "Home Directories", At The Command Line (FOR
WHOSETUP) Type;
WHOSETUP MULTINODES
This Will CREATE (or APPEND) Your $$LOGOFF Files For You.
10 October 1992
I've included the ability of WHOCALLED to SHARE files with
other windows on a network. THUS, you MAY tell PCBoard, that
the bulletin for the users
to read, is the file called "WHOBULL.xx" in your WHOCALLED
directory.
Changed the parameter to pass to WHOCALLED the node number,
instead of the "CNF" file, on the command line. Now, typing:
whoCALL x, where x = the node number to process.
SINGLE NODE USERS! Please Don't Forget To Put A ZERO There?
If You've Told PCBSetup, You Have A MultiNode Setup, Then Use
Node #1, For Your Node Number.
This was changed due to the fact that there are people out
there with MANY nodes, and it's a pain to have a different
configuration for EACH node.
Makes is a lot easier to setup, too.
1 Oct 1992
Included The "Comment Left" As A Message Left in the messages
left counter.
4 Oct 1992
Removed "0" minute callers from being displayed. This took care
of the idiots logging on with the idiot names. (Thanks For That
One, Larry)
26 Sept 1992
Added total processing time duration display.
Added the ability to define the fine line(s) at the top and
bottom of the output display (and bulletin).
23 Sept 1992
I removed the option of running the code in monochrome mode.
If this causes you a problem, PLEASE contact me, I'll put it
back.
Added The Abnormal Dis-Connect Flag To The Users Name.
Added the facility to hit the escape to abort a long file run.
18 September 1992
WOW, MANY new Users of WhoCalled? and a LOT of them are
calling in to let me know It's working fine. I truly appreciate
those that let me know of the "QUIT" bug in the
WHOSETUP.EXE. Fixed. I took out a loop routine to help speed
things up. My biggest goal at this point is to get it working
lightning fast. It's not fast enough for me.
12 August 1992
Thanks Rick Welshan... for catching the utility only catching
ONE name for excluding. (Better yet, thanks for letting me
KNOW. Which is far more generous.)
Appended: 9 August 1992
If you have seen version 1.0, you'll LOVE this one. The
enhancements are speed, and a lot of cosmetics. Yet, the BEST
error trapping.
I've had a couple of operators from around the country call
and ask to have the date separator OPTION and to install MORE
callers to exclude. Done!
