OCR: PERFORMANCE ANOMALIES (BUGS) FOUND IN WR-BBS - AND CORRECTION INFORMATION This bulletin is updated each time that a new version of WR-BBS is released. Bugs are inevitable in any complex program such as a BBS application. When a bug is discovered, it is corrected in the next maintenance release, or if it severely affects operation, in an immediate patch. SysOps running WR-BBS are encouraged to download the latest version of WR-BBS (or any patches that may be issued). There is never a charge for maintenance updates or patches. BUG # 1 Fixed in version 0.97P The FILE SEARCH routine sometimes failed with an error message stating that bad index key was found. Procedure was re written to eliminate duplicate key being added when a file was added to library after deleting a file description. BUG # 2 Fixed in version 0.97P In the WHO CALLED TODAY routine, if the caller aborted display before full screen was drawn, prompts were jumbled together. Added CR/LF to this procedure to eliminate strings being output without seperation. BUG # 3 Fixed in version 0.97P In the MESSAGE EDIT routine, a caller attempting to edit a message could not type a 74 character line, even though 74 characters was originally allowed for the message lines. Corrected the local string variable's length to allow 74 character length when editing a line. BUG # 4 Fixed in version 0.97P If a caller is logged on when the date changes (midnight passes), and drops carrier after midnight has passed, his "time remaining" is set to an invalid value ( -32766 ) and that caller cannot log on again until the next day. Corrected carrier detection function to properly ad just for date wrap when tearing down call after a carrier loss. BUG # 5 Fixed in version 0.97P Callers who use old fashioned TTY equipment, with no ANSI support, miss the first line of the initial answer screen, or this line is skewed over two ines. Placed the non-ansi screen clearing character on its own line so screen is cleared before any text is transmitted. BUG # 6 Fixed in version ?.??? No "new files since last call" routine, even though this was described in the original product specification of January 17, 1992. Support for this feature will be added in the next update. BUG # Fixed in version 0.97P If SysOp manually deletes a user account, and that same user is the very next caller to attempt a logon, system finds their deleted equires their old password to log in.
