- History:
-
- January 19, 1993 - ver. 3.0 released with major change in format.
- (That no one should notice too much unless a bug crept in...)
- Now allows the 2ACT.CFG path\name to be specified on the command
- line. Allows a *NO* 2ACT.NAM file option (place an N in the 2ACT.CFG
- file instead of filename) for sub-boards either sharing the USERS
- file with first account, or just not using aliases. This option
- loads a 2nd board assuming all user checks are done by PCB, and
- is done to just streamline and speed up entry to that board by
- the users. 2ACTSM made more friendly... extended debug available.
- All text displayed over COM port echoed to the local screen now.
- - This release was the first step in supporting PCB @ codes for
- graphics support of message files and PCB environment variables for
- the 2ACT.CFG file - to be incorporated later...
-
- December 1, 1992 - ver 2.8 released as an enhancement. Now will
- look at subscription expiration date of a User to decide what the
- proper User level is to be. 2ACTADD change to ensure large
- multi-node BBSs cannot inadvertently place an improper User in
- the 2ACT.NAM file.
-
- September 13, 1992 - ver 2.7 released to properly address non-standard
- COM ports. 2ACTCVT conversion program no longer included in the
- ZIP release. Minimal CALLERS log file entries if desired for
- registered versions and BRUN45.EXE no longer required, resulting
- in a noticeably faster loading of the second account.
-
- August 31, 1992 - ver 2.6 released to fix a major typo error that
- could lock up the COM port when NOT ALLOWED or LOCKED OUT users
- accessed 2ACT.
-
- August 26, 1992 - ver 2.5 released to allow non-standard COM ports.
-
- August 21, 1992 - ver 2.4 released to allow modem connections up to
- 115K. Previously, 19.2K was the maximum. This was also the first step
- to allowing non-standard COM port use, which will be incorporated in
- the next release to allow use of IRQ 1-15. Nag screens added to
- unregistered versions. Changes made to enhance Callers log entries.
- Desqview now also works without error with Second Account!
- Apologies there was such a lag releasing this version, due to personal
- commitments elsewhere. A couple enhancements are planned soon again.
-
- December 2, 1991 - ver.2.3 released account of an error found when used
- with PCBoard 14.0 - 14.2. Also corrected the problem of reading an
- editor altered PWRD file (not the same format as saved by PCBSetup).
-
- November 30, 1991 - ver.2.2 (still) - released as 2ACT22A.ZIP
- Enhanced the 2ACTSM.EXE System Manager program. Also, a little clean
- up of the docs, as so many people had a problem reading them before?
- A CLEAN PCBTEXT file has been included, ready to use! The docs now
- clearly show the changes made compared to the 14.5a release version.
-
- October 26, 1991 - ver.2.2 - Added a feature meant for 3.0, the ability
- to do a check in the calling BAT file if it is the first time in for
- the day for a User. This is meant only for PCBoard 14.5a+ use, and
- can be used to force the User to read NEWS files, new messages, etc.
- the first time entered each day.
- Also, minor changes to the 2ACTSM for appearance sake via Doorway.
-
- October 20, 1991 - ver 2.1 - First non-test version release, 2ACT21.ZIP
- Includes a fix for a problem not always handling LOCKed or not ALLOWed
- users properly. Additions to the docs as seen needed.
-
- October 6, 1991 - ver.2.0 beta, as 2ACT20A.ZIP
- Inadvertently, the wrong 2ACTSM.EXE and 2ACT.EXE were previously
- included in the ZIP - no problem, however a number of debug purpose
- statements were included in that ZIP, annoying and slow
-
- October 5, 1991 - ver.2.0 beta release
-
- September 25, 1991 - ver.2.0 (local beta)
- A complete re-write, changes format, security, maintenance, etc
-
- September 15, 1991 - ver.1.2 beta
- Network relative fix for NEWGUY file
-
- September 14, 1991 - ver.1.2 beta
- Network fix
-
- September 11, 1991 - ver.1.2 beta
- Major typo occurred in 2 places - this is a fix.
- The previous version docs showed the command line and the LOCK parameters
- flip flopped in position in the .CFG file.
-
- September 10, 1991 - ver.1.1 beta
- Major change in error handling, to insure all errors are trapped properly
- to be located in source code, and any errors occurring will properly exit
- and reload the first account.
- A locking parameter is also now expected in the PCB2ACT.CFG file, to
- prevent anyone barred from the second PCB account from entering.
-
- Date Unknown (Jan 91?) - ver.1.0 alpha/beta
- I threw together PCB2ACT real fast for use on my BBS...No regard for
- error handling, control, etc.
