- Planned New Features in Upcoming Versions
- -----------------------------------------
-
- ■ Opus 1.7 to<>from conversion.
-
-
- History of Previous Versions
- ----------------------------
-
- v5.8, 08/02/92
- --------------
-
- ■ Added a special mode for Waffle, to overcome the "problem" of
- converting some of the % variables in your batch file. Use the
- doortype of:
-
- /f=WAFFLE:<userid>,<comport>,<bps>,<timeleft>,<seclevel>,
- <termtype>,<P|NP>
-
- There is more detail on this in DM.DOC
-
- ■ Fixed a bug when converting from /F=PARMS. I was not adding "COM"
- to the beginning of the COM port, nor was I reading the time limit
- from the command line.
-
-
- v5.7a, 07/28/92
- ---------------
-
- ■ Fixed a bug when converting to PCBoard 14.x. Instead of writing the
- node number to the PCBOARD.SYS file, I was always writing a null
- character.
-
-
- v5.7, 05/24/92
- --------------
-
- ■ Added a module for Virtual BBS (VBBS). DM will process a "standard"
- DORINFO1.DEF file in this mode. The DoorType is "VBBS".
-
- ■ Modified the PCB14 and PCB14C modules to write a blank CNAMES file
- as well as PCBOARD.DAT, PCBOARD.SYS, and USERS. I just found out
- that some ProKit doors still require CNAMES to exist.
-
- ■ Fixed a bug in the PCBSETUP module that sometimes caused a message
- to pop up telling you CNAMES was missing.
-
- ■ Fixed a bug when converting to WWIV. Apparently, some older WWIV
- doors don't like a pathname to be specified for the g-files and
- t-files dirs. I had a run-time error 003 occurring on a couple of
- them until I removed the dirs from CHAIN.TXT.
-
- ■ Fixed the bug that made DM refuse to run on a monochrome system!
- The problem was that in some areas of DM (specifically, the help
- system and the configuration program), I was saving and restoring
- screens to video memory - which monochrome cards don't have. I have
- changed the routines to save and restore screens to an array.
- DM should work fine on monochrome systems now.
-
- ■ Added support for versions of Citadel that support OUTPUT.APL.
- The only versions I'm aware of that support this are TurboCit and
- FredCit; others might support it as well. If so, they will work
- with the Citadel module. The DoorType is "CITADEL".
-
- ■ Due to user request, I have changed the Telegard module back to reading
- a DOOR.SYS. The bug has been fixed; turns out that the supposed
- "standard" DOOR.SYS used in GAP uses five extra lines at the end
- of the file; Telegard and TAG do not write these four lines to the
- file, so this caused error 62's when I had this module reading the
- DOOR.SYS previously.
-
- ■ Added a module for Powerboard BBS. DM will process a "standard"
- DOOR.SYS file when in this mode. The DoorType is "PB".
-
-
- v5.6, 02/14/92
- --------------
-
- ■ Changed the version numbering scheme to merge the bug fix and feature
- counters, bringing this one to v5.6 (3 + 2 + 1 for changes in this
- release = 6).
-
- ■ Changed the Telegard module to read/write a DORINFO1.DEF instead of
- a DOOR.SYS.
-
-
- v5.3.2, 01/19/92
- -----------------
-
- ■ Fixed a bug in the PARMS mode. When using 1 as the graphics type,
- it was still filtering it out as non-graphics.
-
-
- v5.3.1, 01/18/92
- -----------------
-
- ■ Added a TriTel module. This will read/write a TRITEL.SYS file.
-
-
- v5.2.1, 12/25/91
- -----------------
-
- ■ Changed the Maximus module from 1.xx format (which used an Opus/Fido
- LASTUSER.BBS file) to the new 2.xx format using a DORINFO1.DEF file.
-
- ■ Changed the RemoteAccess module so that it always reads or writes
- a DORINFO1.DEF, i.e., it no longer tries to read a DORINFO2.DEF,
- DORINFO3.DEF, etc. if you use the /N=n switch.
-
-
- v5.1.1, 12/23/91
- -----------------
-
- ■ Fixed a bug relating to graphics when converting from RemoteAccess
-
- ■ Added an enhancement for WWIV. Some sysops have suggested that the
- user's alias rather than real name be read from the CHAIN.TXT file.
- If you wish to use this method, use a DoorType of "WWIV-ALIAS" instead
- of "WWIV".
