[v2.5] A NEW option has been added to the CFG file to control whether
or not you wish to have the door LOG callers (ON/OFF) to a
USAGE file. A separate file is created for each Node.
The menu choices have been changed from special characters
(/-!#+@) to LETTERS....
01/19/96
[v2.4] ALIAS option NOT working properly
Minor corrections to the documentation
05/20/95
[v2.3] Added an option to the Trivia Maintenance module to re-cycle
old Trivia puzzles.
If a displayed question extends to 4 lines, subsequent
questions would not clear the 4th line.
01/19/95
[v2.2] Eliminated the 'ANSI not detected....' message since there are
a few communications packages out there that give off their
own type of ANSI.
If using the TRIBBS.SYS system file, the door always presented
the opening screen in black and white. Will now be presented
in color.
The Door knows that the caller is the Sysop, if the caller is
record #1 in the BBS' user database. The BBS software passes
that record number to the door via the system file. Some BBS
software does not pass the actual record number but passes a
relative number (ie: record #1 is passed as record #0). If the
number being passsed is 0, the Door will not know it is the
Sysop calling. We will now recognize the caller as the Sysop
if their record number is 0 or 1.
As more and more BBS' use Alias', we have been asked to
provide a way for the callers to use their Alias' rather
than their LogonName. All Sunrise Doors will now have this
Sysop configurable option in the CFG file.
08/14/94
[v2.1] If the XXXX/YYYY entries in the CFG file were entered in
LOWERCASE, the Door would display a CFG error and return to BBS
The display alignment for the Top Players has been corrected
03/14/94
[v2.0] Past problems with large values in the Door.Sys or other System
Files (Drop Files) generating an OVERLOW (Error 6) error, have
been resolved.
When the Door displays the opening screen, it asks if you want
instructions and you are forced to enter a Y or N. This was
installed to handle problems encountered when using Digiboards.
With this release you can choose whether you want to force a
y/n OR if you want to use the y/N format which allows the
player to press ENTER for the default N. You must update your
CFG file, see DOC file.
06/19/93
[v1.9] Removed delay at start of game
Added support for the PCBoard /M version
03/12/93
[v1.8] Now supports Comm Ports 0-15
Callers will be required to answer the "Want Instructions.."
question with a Y or N. This was required to circumvent a
problem encountered when running under WildCat's IM version.
01/15/93
[v1.7] If you requested that the PREVIOUS WORDS be displayed, more
than once in the same game, the program would produce an
error entitled "File Already Open".
12/26/92
[v1.6] BRUN45.EXE no longer required!
Added support for Fossil-based Multi-Port cards!
New Configuration option to allow Sysop to choose whether
they want the computer to allocate 99 games to them or if
they just want to be like any other caller.
10/16/92
[v1.5] Added support for TRIBBS software. We now access the
TRIBBS.SYS system file directly!
After a CHAT or DROP-TO-DOS the game screen will now be
restored to its original state.
The Trivia maintenance program has been changed to save
all old questions and answers to a file. You may use this
file (TRIVQUE.OLD) in any way you wish as it will not be
used by TRIVIA other than as a repository for previously
used questions.
06/14/92
[v1.4] You can now use an environmental variable for Non-Standard
IRQs. This will eliminate the need to have multiple batch
files to execute the door. See DOCs under NON-STANDARD COM
SUPPORT for details.
You can now use environmental variables, on the first line
of the configuration file. This will eliminate the requirement
that you create an individual configuration file for each node
in a multinode environment (ONE config file for ALL nodes!!).
See DOCs under MULTI-NODE SETUP for details.
The file created by the Trivia maintenance, that contains the
answers to prior set of trivia questions, had the wrong name.
The filename should be LASTANS.DAT, but was being created
as LASTANS.TXT.. New version of TRIVMANT produced!
New TRIVMANT file to correct a problem it had in recognizing
a registered version of TRIVIA. This only affected those that
run GT Power AND use GTUSER.BBS on the first line of the
configuration file.
Made some changes to fix the TIMEOUT errors encountered
when usinga 486 with/without DesqView. Need feedback !!
Made some changes to correct the Error #6 (Overflow Error)
when using SpitFire version 3.2/SFDOORS.DAT. I need some
feedback on this one as well!
Added support for GT Power's GTUSER.BBS file. To use this
you will be required to add to lines to your configuration
files. Please see Docs for changes. Need some feedback on
this as well!
03/20/92
[v1.3] TRIVMANT would not recognize that the Door was registered
when adding questions to the database and when importing
a file of questions.
03/16/92
[v1.2] TRIVMANT would not recognize that the puzzles needed to be
changed.
** The only change in this release affects TRIVMANT.EXE !!
03/15/92
[v1.1] The option to display the ADOPT-A-DOOR message or not was
not working properly. Regardless of what value you used,
1 or 2, the message was displayed.
Adjusted the display of the score on the playing screen.
Was not displaying the message that all questions had been
answered.....
The last question was not being displayed to the player.
03/06/92
[v1.0] Initial release
