PCBRAT Version Information:
Version 1.0 (April 10, 1987):
. initial PCBRAT release!
Version 1.1 (June 17, 1987):
. added NOLMSG flag to put in the PCBRAT.RAT file because of conflicts
with MSG that would show up as user accounts taking on certain
conditions, where their access levels were not lowered, even though
they should have been.
. also added the user number information next to the name of the user
being updated
Version 1.2 (October 16, 1987):
. added PCBoard 12.x support and dropped support of PCBoard 10.0 & 11.x
. added PCBRAT version information in log file
Version 1.3 (April 5, 1988):
. added SHARE (network) support to prevent any lost or corrupted data!
. now lowercase r1, r2, etc. may be used in the .RAT file
. added legend to PCBRAT.DAT so wrong version of setup file could not
be used
. made some beautification changes
. this version will require that you make a new setup file. Or if you'd
prefer not to, simply add PCBRAT 1.30 to the first line of the
setup file (and push all other lines down one) and put Y or N after
the very last thing in the file for yes or no to running under a
SHARE network system
Version 1.4 (April 8, 1988):
. I made a very stupid mistake in version 1.3. In the setup procedure,
I forgot to make PCBRAT write the header to the setup file. Therefore,
if you didn't manually fix your PCBRAT file (as explained above),
PCBRAT would tell you that your setup file doesn't have a header.
This has now been corrected.
Version 1.41 (April 11, 1988):
. Corrected Backup bug, where a stack overflow error would occur. This
problem was a result of the conversion to Turbo Pascal 4.0. I
ended up with a bit less stack space, and since the routine had not
been tested, I did not realize that I had to lower the buffer size.
Version 1.42 (May 2, 1988):
. Corrected bug that would give run-time error 002 (file not found)
if you said you did not want a message check in your setup file
but put certain message parameters in your ratio file anyway.
. Added a check to make sure that the message file exists (assuming
you chose to use the message file in processing)
. Fixed a bug in the file SHAREing code, that accidentally put a
second lock on the user record instead of removing the original
lock after updating (in other words, PCBRAT locked the record
but never unlocked it!)
Version 2.0 (October 22, 1988):
. PCBoard 14.0 support, dropped also pre-PCB14 support
. Added status on number of user's saved by Message Check
. Changed to version 2.0, to keep consistant with PCBreg.
. Compiled in Turbo 5.0, now runs faster than before.
. Now uses true BIOS ReadKey routines, fully CTTY compatible
. No need for new setup file, all setup files created with
PCBrat 1.40 and later will work with PCBrat 2.0
Version 2.01 (January 7, 1989):
. Bad subtle error that would only be noticed by the user if he
had the backup option on and compared the backup file size to
the original file size. I had forgotten to update the record
size constant I created from the size of the PCBoard 12 format
the size of the PCBoard 14 user record format. The constant was
only used in file sharing (which would mean records being locked
were only partially locked, which wouldn't make a difference), and
in size of the backup file created.
