History of PCB/ProDOOR changes (in reverse order)
-------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Use EXTCONV.ARC to convert user data from ProDoor 2.6 or 2.7
to the new format used in 2.8. This will preserve earned Kbytes,
extended conference registration, and extended conference pointers.
09-Oct-88
Changed some "ARC" specific terminology to be more generic.
Fixes for unwanted sliding event right after midnight.
Fixes in ProEdit when long filenames are passed with F parameter.
Added status line indications for ALT-F and ALT-P toggles.
08-Oct-88
All known bugs are fixed. Maybe the final 2.8 beta.
06-Oct-88
Added a bunch of statistics to the (V)iew function for debugging
reported errors in download-bytecount handling.
04-Oct-88
Daily-dowbload-bytes were not being carrier forward to PCBOARD on exit
from prodoor.
02-Oct-88
Changes to improve status line update frequency. Added automatic
(enter) at the end of sysop macro function keys.
01-Oct-88
Increased 9 filespec limit to 50 filespecs. File limit on protocols
is now enforced by filespec (instead of by file). Added recognition
of error-free protocols in ProConfig and ProDoor. Update your config
files to take advantage of these changes. Corrected ALT-P output
when in graphics mode. Scratch files were not being deleted if they
were not downloaded.
30-Sep-88
Changes in ARCM to prevent re-scanning the last-read message.
Internal changes in new message entry logic. ARCM packets were
sometimes not deleted from the scratch directory. Added time-left to
"More?" prompt displays. Fixed screen clutter during ALT-I in visual
editor. Trimmed about 5k off the size of ProEdit.exe.
NOTE*** THE BETA CODE POSTED ON 27-SEP THROUGH 29-SEP HAS A BUG
IN IT THAT CAN CAUSE MESSAGE BASE CORRUPTION *UNLESS* THE
FILES WERE PACKED BY PROPACK. THIS IS CORRECTED IN THE
30-SEP AND LATER BETA CODE. SORRY!
29-Sep-88
'Free' downloads are no longer logged to the caller log. They are
still logged to DOWNLOAD.TXT. Corrected error in 27-sep code that
would truncate some $...$ macros after 20 characters. Changes to
improve operation when disk space is limited. Corrected reversal of
PgUp and PgDn (status display selection). ProKit update to prevent
alteration of PCBOARD.SYS in 'LOCAL' test mode. ProEdit no longer
writes to USERNET.DAT file.
28-Sep-88
Changed invalid-archive handler to display to user when it is
deleting an invalid archive. Status display is no longer missing
during the first few seconds in visual edit mode.
27-Sep-88
Corrected k-bytes-left at filespec prompt when > 32megs are
available. Changes in message entry logic to prevent conflicts with
PCBoard nodes that are in active message entry at the time the
message is saved. Added new 'PROFREE' data file which lists
filespecs that are not to be charged when downloaded. Edit this to
allow free 'ARCM' downloading as well as any other files you wish to
allow free access to. Added new entry in config file to allow ARCM
filename prefix to be specified seperately from SCRATCH prefix.
25-Sep-88
Corrected spacing in logoff caller log entries in non-network
systems. Added (F)lag option at most "More?" prompts, allowing you
to flag files for download while scanning directories. Added (FL)ag
command to explicitly add to the flagged file list or to unflag the
flagged files.
22-Sep-88
Enabled the 'search aborted' message when ^K is used during (Y)our scans.
Corrected double-message-advance after (K)ill is used.
Added (Q)uit option at (J A) configuruation prompts.
Added (MG)graphics-mode command in message reader (and ProEdit).
If 'display news only if changed' flag is set in PCBSETUP
prodoor/proedit will not display conference news files on (J)oin.
The (NEWS) command can be used to see news on request in this mode.
Corrected (NS) mail command so it reads mail instead of giving help.
21-Sep-88
Fixed a bug that caused non/graphics callers to shift into the 'default
color' when leaving ProDoor. This should happen only in color mode.
Added new 'Ffilename' parameter to ProEdit to allow direct editing of
external conference files without any additional configuration files.
See XREAD.BAT for an example of how this feature is used.
20-Sep-88
The 'Echo to other systems' prompt is no longer bypassed on private
messages. Changes in conference-added-time to match new way of
