Lottery Door Program
Version History
.5 - December 1, 1990
- Beta copies running on three node systems using Lantastic Network
2400 mnp/5 modems, USRobotics Dual Standard locked at 38,400 -
Ran on a two node system under Desqview
After two weeks of Beta testing, no problems reported
December 17, 1990
1.0 - First official release of Lottery with Instant Pick-3 and Pick-4
1.5 - Several screen write problems fixed and code optimized, thanks to
a report by Glenn Rushing
1.6 - Added a separate line in cfg file to allow for a different prize
for the pick-4 game. Cleaned up some screen writes again! Think
I got them all now!?
2.0 - Fixed the exiting the door problem some callers had, added two
more routines to check for matching two numbers at the end or in
the middle and allowing the winner a smaller prize. Now you have
four prizes to offer callers. Will also create a file to let you
know who won and what they won.
3.0 - Added a feature that a few of you asked for.. now if a caller wins
the Pick-3 or the Pick-4 a randomly selected number is attached to
a "coupon3.dat" or "coupon4.dat" file <if they exsist> and also it
is written to the winner3.dat and winner4.dat file so that if you
offer a discount, free pizza or whatever with a coupon redemption,
the number on the coupon will match the number on your winner file
and callers can't duplicate the coupon to try and get double. If
the coupon3.dat and coupon4.dat files don't exsist, that part of
the door is ignored and writes to your winner3.dat and winner4.dat
who won... it is then up to you to make sure they receive their
winning prize.
Also optimize code a little more and corrected some spelling errs
in the help screen.
Also added a "Lottery.log" file so when a winner downloads a free
coupon, should you use this option, you will have a log of each
download within the door.. these are free downloads and not added
to your board download counter.
3.1 - Added option in CFG file to charge time for each try at the Pick-3
and Pick-4, if you don't want to charge.. put a 0 on the last line
or at least 1 for 1 minute.. if they win, the time is given back
to them along with your prize!
3.2 - Corrected a small code mistake on charging time and giving it back
when a pick3 or pick4 number was matched. Working great now with a
users.sys, WILL NOT WORK if you call pcboard.sys in CFG file. You
must use door.sys or users.sys in CFG files.
3.3 - Cleaned up some code for smoother screen writes.
Now multi-BBS capable.. see lottery.doc for list of BBS's we now
support.
3.4 - Re-compliled with new version of door kit, will not lock up when
playing local. Fixed access to dorinfo and callinfo in door kit.
3.5 - Fixed a screen write problem when running with dansi.sys. Compiled
with newer version of doorframe with fix for callinfo.bbs.
3.6 - Re-compiled to handle the new Wildcat 3.0 that is now using the
new door.sys file.. read races.doc for instructions
3.7 - Re-compile to handle all BBS specific files correctly and changed
a screen write routine to make door work faster..
3.8 - Fixed an error when trying to create a download coupon if the
coupon file was missing. Corrected spelling mistakes.
3.9 - Re-compiled with a new doorframe. Nonstandard IRQ's now ok, and
will read PCBoard set variables or you can set your own.
4.0 - Re-compiled with a new doorframe and now in BasCom 7.1, should be
a good bit faster.
4.1 - Re-compiled with newest version of doorframe for BasCom 7.1 and
eliminated some opening screens and the delay for unregistered
copies has been eliminated.
4.2 - This version is probably the final release unless some comments
come in for added features. Optimized screen writes again with
new version of DoorFrame for BasCom 7+
4.3 - Re-compiled with new DoorFrame allowing DigiBoard users to run
this door on any and all nodes.. Optimized screen writes and
should be noticeable especially to 1200 and 2400 baud callers.
