- Read "README.DOC" for additional information.
"UPGRADE.DOC" for upgrade information.
=============
| Zeta-2.0b |
=============
- Added Type 63 to Menuedit's Online Help.
- Fixed Bug w/Menuedit Trying to Delete past end of MenuPacket.
=============
| Zeta-2.0a |
=============
- Fixed ANSI bug on *LOCAL* displays.
= QuickBBS was outputing a NUL (#0) to the screen, instead
of "ignoring" it. It is still SENT out the comport,
but is no longer "SHOWN" on screen.
- Type 19, 20, 21, 41, 43, 53, 59, 62 and 63.
(IE Ansi On/Off, *UPDATE LAST READ POINTERS*, etc)
Now have a *OPTION* to pause after the command has been
executed. If you Add "/RETURN" to the optional data line
you will receive a "Press Return:" message after the
execution.
(Keep in mind your "Press Return" message will vary language
to language).
=============
| Zeta-1.9C |
=============
- Changed DISKFREE functions to support 2G+ drives...(I hope?)
- Fixed bug (?) in UPLOAD routines, which might have caused
QUICKBBS to be confused with LOWERCASE paths in FILECFG.DAT
- Fixed CHAT routines to show the "cough", "Laugh", and "Smile"
messages to be broadcast, and not just shown locally.
=============
| Zeta-1.9B |
=============
- Fastlogon is now in the NODECFG.DAT file.
- Update and make sure you FASTLOGON is setup the way you want!
- Fixed problem with Timelimits
- Fixed Description on Uploads
- Fixed Overlay generation Problems
- Fixed Possible confusion on Goldbase/Classic Generation of Executables
=============
| Zeta-1.9C |
=============
==============================================================================
- Several Language Entries have been added, make sure to update your
language files.
==============================================================================
- NODECFG will need to be run from each of your NODE subdirectories
(If you run multinode). This program will take all NODE
SPECIFIC paths, and entries out of your QUICKCFG.DAT file
and place them into NODECFG.DAT. This allows your system
to have a SINGLE QUICKCFG.DAT file in your \QUICKBBS directory,
and have multiple NODECFG.DAT files for each NODE you run.
* This allows:
- 20 SLOTS for Modem Connection Responses:
Off the top of my head, I can only think of
14 slots that would NORMALLY be used. That
gives us 6 extra slots for expansion.
(300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
14400, 16800, 19200, 21600, 24000,
28800, 33600, 57600, 11500)
- Different Modem Commands (Initialization, CBV settings,
etc) for each node.
- Different PathNames for each node (Nice for Lans, etc)
==============================================================================
- Elimination of "Three Name" login problem.
IE. "Michael William Smith" would have
used 'SMITH' as a password, under the old system.
Now to use the login/password routine, just add
a SEMI-COLON (";") in between the name, and password.
IE. "Michael William;Smith"
or
"Chief Programmer! In Charge"
Can be used, this also allows your Users to login
using their aliases.
[The only change that is noticable, is the need to use the semi-colon]
==============================================================================
- The InterNode Chat System now has three new Commands:
Ctrl-G - "Giggle."
Ctrl-S - "Smile."
Ctrl-C - "Coughs."
These commands *CAN* BE changed via the Language Editor.
==============================================================================
- Nodelist Structure has been updated to allow Zones above 255
You have to recompile your nodelist (via Qnode) to allow
QuickBBS to use your nodelist.
==============================================================================
- The User Record has changed *SLIGHTLY*
- There now is *GUEST* Accounts. Be VERY VERY careful with
setting up Guest Accounts, due to the FACT that there
is *NO* password checks for Guest Accounts!
- The Full Screen Message Viewer should be USER Configurable!
- Menu Type 63 Will Toggle the Full Screen Message Viewer
active, or inactive.
==============================================================================
- The SSR viewing options
*are* available from : Not Supported by:
- ZOC - Frontdoor
- Maindoor & Maindoor/2
==========
| Zeta-1 |
==========
==============================================================================
File transfer code should be more kind to multi-taskers
# characters in file names no longer mess up external protocols
Leading and trailing blanks are now stripped when reading IEMSI packet
Fixed *TOP specifier on menu goto commands
Fixed NO-SSR env variable, but try not using it...
Qlink speeded up considerably - new link technique
Qecho has new items for config file, space checking
==============================================================================
--- 2.80 Gamma-5
Fixed log corruption problem
Speeded up spinner on file search by date
Message scan mode no longer lets users stay on past their time limit
Kill/sent and Crash options now work properly when forwarding netmail
Up/download commands no longer cut off at 66 characters in external protocol
setup
Verifier now logs the actual phone number dialed (after translation)
Fixed error 201 when there are more than 200 file areas defined
Comparison between 2 questionaire variables is now supported
^K| now works properly even with language phrases 514 and 515 ;-)
Now creates MBUNLOCK.NOW semaphore file when entering a message
** on a type 7 now causes a single * to be passed to the external program
Fixed problem when deleting a message in the middle of a thread
Enhanced error logging for error code 162
Message numbers no longer truncated when using QuickScan command with GoldBase.
If you are running GoldBase you will need to update language file entries
482 and 483 to fix a cosmetic problem where the header is out of sync with
the information - if this sounds confusing then try a QuickScan and you'll
see what I mean ;-)
52 line DOOR.SYS file now created on type 7 and 15 commands
