NetDoor Version 5.0 Copyright (c) 1989,90 Mark J. Findlay

HST 19.2
(WASEA)
05-01-90 NetDoor now recognizes when a file transfer is unsuccessful
and immediately returns caller to PCBoard WITHOUT updating
the caller's record on the BBS.NET file. Call can then
re-enter the door and attempt the transfer again without
losing message pointers.
NetDoor will now export only the maximum number of messages
defined as "Max messages to Import" in the caller's
conference configuration. This allows the caller to
limit the amount of mail the caller receives per call
on a conference by conference basis.
04-11-90 Removed NETWORK.LST (network-wide nodelist processing)
processing pending re-design.
Fix for some nodes that were receiving back mail.
Code now handles instances where sysop accidentally
renumbers messages during a message base re-pack
without performing a reset of the conferences from
within NetMail config.exe.
Fix for aborted DSZ uploads resulting in 0 length
.OUT uploads.
Fix for "last called date" on BBS.NET file.
03-27-90 Reduced memory required for all I/O processes thereby
freeing apprx 10K in execution time memory.
01-30-90 Fix to export processing which in rare instances, caused
remainder of message base being exported to be bypassed
even though outgoing messages were pending.
01-19-90 Fix to network nodelist file processing to insure that
records are updated and that outdated records are discarded
01-10-90 Added displays to indicate when imported mail packet contains
messages addressed to sysop.
01-03-89 Added display to indicate when message base is locked during
import processing.
01-01-89 NetDoor is now share compatible. This means that multiple
nodes can use the door simultaneously to transfer the mail!
There are a few steps you NEED to take prior to running this
version, so PLEASE read the NetMail documentation concerning the
work directory!!!
Added new fields upon which the Refer to and duplicate message
checking occurs. For this reason, ALL members of the network
MUST convert to 4.1 simultaneously (or close to that anyway)
or the refer to processing will be incorrect until everyone
is at 4.1. That will be the only negative impact!
11-05-89 Check for event slide prior to dumping user back to PCBoard
when event is pending within 15 minutes.
Added automated network-wide nodelist maintenance function.
ADDED 5th NETDOOR COMMAND LINE PARAMETER: SEE SAMPLE NETDOOR
FILE AND NETDOOR DOCUMENTATION!
Check for existence of conference prior to processing it.
Changed countdown time when LOCK.NET encountered from 5 minutes
to 1 minute.
Allows caller to specify whether or not to re-receive last mail
successful mail transfer.
05-30-89 Several enhancements to NetMail config, import and export
programs, creation of NetStat.exe, see NetMail HISTORY file
and docs for further details. No change to NetDoor.
05-12-89 Removed TCAN capability from HUB or regional HUB systems. This
function is reserved for destination nodes only.
05-10-89 Fix for tag line problem previously thought to be corrected in
NetDoor 3.3.
Significantly reduced memory requirements during all export and
import functions in all .exe files.
05-06-89 Disabled ALL private message and echo=yes message handling in
NetDoor. These editing functions are now reserved for the target
node system only.
Added ability for door to select ONLY messages addressed to users
on the calling node's system.
Expanded BBS.NET file. See CONVBBS.EXE and CONVBBS.DOC.
04-30-89 Fixed HUB's receiving of node SEND files.
Added detailed logging information to PCBoard caller log. Now,
number of messages imported and exported to and from the calling
node are recorded for each conference networked.
Removed need to specify DSZPORT in NETDOOR batch file. Remove
the following from your NETDOOR batch file:
SET DSZPORT=x
04-29-89 Allowed NODE to override "last message exported" on the HUB
system's BBS.NET file for any conference. This allows NODES
to receive mail already received, or if desired, capture an
entire message base.
Added personalized greeting to NetDoor.
04-26-89 Added time function to NetDoor to allow HUB Sysop to make
NetDoor "unavailable" during specified hours. (in order to
free the HUB system for the general public).
Added "Echo Message?" check in export function of NetDoor.
If configured in CONFIG.EXE, NetDoor will only export messages
from a conference in which the creator of the message responded
"Y" to the prompt: "Echo Message?" from PCBoard or ProDoor.
NOTE: Record layout expansions require that you execute CONVERT.EXE
prior to any 3.0 operations. Please see main NetMail package
and file convert.doc for further details.
04-23-89 Increased STACK space in NetDoor from 4000 to 5500.
Added information to documentation concerning the setting of
the environment variable PRODEBUG=ON in order to capture all
NetDoor screen activity.
Corrected TCAN processing which was improperly handling index
file pointers when TCAN processing occurred.
04-17-89 Fixed NetDoor import function to properly handle index files
on message bases which have zero messages (such as newly
created message bases), and 1 message (such as a "starter"
message in a new message base).
04-16-89 Fixed Network Indicator check. Calling nodes were able to receive
conference mail even though the HUB system had specified "N"
in the network indicator for that conference.
Enhanced display of error messages.
04-15-89 Door now uses 21K less memory than NetDoor 2.2. Some users were
still reporting "insufficient memory" messages with the PKZIP
command to pack outgoing mail.
added "slow" parameter to DSZ send of outgoing mail packet
to enhance high speed transfers.
04-13-89 Reformatted NODELIST file created via the NODE's export request
to be more "readable".
04-10-89 Altered compression of outgoing mail packet to use 23K less
memory. This was causing problems in some DoubleDos
environments.
Added 4th NetDoor command line parameter to indicate location
of PKZIP.EXE. Please see sample NETDOOR batch file.
04-09-89 NetDoor 2.0 released.
HUB now automatically Imports and Exports mail received
from the calling NODE. No need for the HUB to perform these
functions manually.
Door now generates nodelist of all participating nodes at
calling NODE's request.
Error.net no longer created as this door error detection function
is no longer required.
03-13-89 Added Error Control mechanism to allow for bypassing
of outside batch processes such as HUB export and import
should the door terminate abnormally.
03-08-89 Follow-up to ALT-A fix in Conference Add function.
03-07-89 Corrections to DOOR locking mechanism.
03-05-89 Fix for BBS.NET corruption problem.
03-02-89 Further enhanced I/O processing.
02-26-89 Enhanced SEND to maintain "info" record on file being
sent. This allows 1 copy of sent file to remain in FILES
directory for all target BBSes rather than a separate copy
for each.
Increased mail delivery performance by not processing incoming
conferences with 0 length.
02-25-89 Allow SEND to "ALL" participating NODEs with single command.
02-22-89 Initial release.
