The Ultimate Account Manager V1.0 for PCBoard V14.5a - History file
TUAM V1.03
11/14/92
Final Documentation Released.
Product is finally released. Now we can continue with version
2.0
We trust you like this product, and will pass along more ideas
for version 2.
11/07/92
Addition: Chris Kenward
Expanded on the expire flag so that expiry can take place on 0
bytes, 0 time, and/or encountered PCBOARD USER expiry date.
Addition: Internal
Added to the User Status Display in TUAM, the actual byte and/or
file ratios based on information stored in PCBoard. This
information is displayed only if byte and/or file ratios are
specified for the user's level.
11/06/92
Bug Report: Internal
When using file and/or byte ratios, and sliding levels, when the
byte or file ratio failed the failure files would be displayed
once for each sliding level. This has been fixed so that the
failure files will only be displayed once if any sliding level
fails the ratios.
Change: Internal
In order to maintain consistancy in the byte editor the Initial
Bytes field has been changed to Initial KBytes. Modify your data
to reflect this change.
TUAM V1.02
11/01/92
Addition: Chris Kenward
Added an Expire flag in the byte editor, this flag if set to Yes
will cause the user's level to be set to the user's expired level
or to the default expiry level in PCBOARD.DAT if the user's
expired level is 0, when either time or bytes reaches 0. This
allows the Sysop to expire the user when the time or byte
subscription runs out.
Addition: Internal
When a user's time left in account falls below 10 minutes the user
shall receive 10 minutes until the time left in account reaches 0.
Bug Report: Internal
Found and fixed a bug which caused TUAM to incorrectly report the
number of bytes in a session in the caller log.
TUAM V1.01
10/31/92
Bug Report: Internal
Found and fixed a bug which caused the user's elapsed time to be
deducted twice, once by TUAM and once by PCBoard.
Bug Report: Chris Kenward
Found and fixed a bug in the security file auto-version-update.
You would not notice this problem if you made a change in one of
the editors and then saved the data. This bug only appeared when
upgrading from V1.0ß4.15 to V1.0ß4.20 or the released V1.0.
TUAM Version 1.0 - ßeta cycle completed
10/30/92
TUAM V1.0ß4.20
10/12/92 - 10/28/92
Addition: General Discussion
Made it possible for a user to completely use the bytes in his
account by adding a KByte Threshold in the configuration editor.
When the bytes left in a user's account falls below the KByte
Threshold, the user will be given the amount of kilobytes defined
in KByte Threshold, until his account reaches 0 bytes.
Change: Internal
Changed the name of the program from TUBS to TUAM (The Ultimate
Account Manager). This was necessary due to the additions made to
the program to include time and command levels. See UPDATE.DOC
for more information on what is necessary to make the move from
TUBS to TUAM. These additions required that the TPA size be
increased to 44 bytes from the previous 32 bytes, and that the TPA
version be changed from 100 to 101. Run the UPDATE.BAT file to
rename the TPA, rename the security file and remove the old
programs from the TUAM home directory. Running TUAMSM will
automatically change the structure of the security file. The DEMO
key file for TUBS is not compatible with TUAM and a new DEMO key
file is provided with the TUAM package. Many changes and
additions have been made to the editors available in TUAMSM, see
the documentation for an explanation of the editors.
Bug Report: General discussion
Entering some doors caused PCBoard to lose track of the bytes
provided by TUBS. This was caused by the way TUBS was telling
PCBoard how many bytes a user had available for use. To solve
this problem it is necessary to write an individual PWRD file for
each node, this is handled automatically by the TUAM door. The
first time the TUAM door program is run on a node, it will modify
the PWRD location/name entry in the PCBOARD.DAT file for that node
to point to the node's home directory. Everytime the TUAM door
program is run on a node it will create a PWRD in the node's home
directory with the entries necessary for this user to access your
BBS. The TUAMSM program will automatically load the PCBoard PWRD
file the first time it is run, after this all changes to the PWRD
file should be made using the TUAMSM program and not PCBoard, as
the PWRD data is now contained within the TUAM security file. You
should also note that the Session Bytes and Daily Bytes in the
TUAMSM program has been changed from bytes to kilobytes, and you
will need to make adjustments to these fields.
Change: Internal
Changed the Lockout field to represent zero bytes to be granted.
Changed the names of a number of the display files and ensured
they would allow specific files for security level, graphics, and
language. These files are:
FROM TO
--------- ----
BYTEFAIL NOB
FILEFAIL NOF
PROMO BYE
LOCKOUT B0
Addition: Internal
Additional security levels (sliding levels), see documentation for
more information.
TUBS 10E v1.0ß4.15
10/04/92
Bug Report: Jerry Sturdevant
Fixed a bug where both the BYTEFAIL and the FILEFAIL files were
displayed, if only the byte ratio was out when checking was turned
on for both byte and file ratios.
Suggestion: General discussion
BYTES.EXE now returns the user's level in the DOS environment
variable ERRORLEVEL.
Suggestion: Internal
Removed the program signature display from the DEMO version, so that a
sysop can see how the program will look when it is registered. However,
the demo expiry date reminder will still be seen by the sysop, but
not by the user.
TUBS 10D V1.0ß4.14
09/17/92
Suggestion: Steve Williams
Added two new reset frequencies to the security file editor.
Q - quarterly (every 3 months)
S - semi-annually (every 6 months)
Bug Report: Internal
Corrected a problem where a locked out user may not be displayed the
basic statistics or the LOCKOUT file.
Bug Report: Internal
Corrected a problem with the keyboard timeout, when displaying the
promo file.
TUBS 10C V1.0ß4.13
09/13/92
Bug Report: Internal
Corrected problem with accounts where Monthy or Annual Accounts
were combined with Ratio accounts. Logic was not causing
proper decrease in account bytes.
Bug Report: Internal
Added checking for any possible problems your system clock may
have, wrong system time. Logic will correct for incorrect
system time without damage to accounts.
TUBS 10B V1.0ß4.12
09/07/92
Bug Report: Internal

Bug Report: Internal
Corrected some minor logic that could have caused display problems
TUBS 10A V1.0ß4.1
08/29/92
Bug Report: Internal

BYTESM.EXE. This created no problems, but was visually unattractive.
08/26/92
Initial release to wide beta.
