SMaster was first written as a small private program, that
support SuperBBS extended description lines. Then, it grew-up,
and supported statistics, Banners, Last-days list, etc. The only
thing that is unmodified is the name, that is the same as the
first program (Which was suppose to be Super MASTER-list creator
= SMASTER).
v1.00 First release, supported only security-range, Banner to
include and all-files list name. Support for SuperBBS
extended description only.
v1.20 Allows SysOp to define starting column of description in
FILES.BBS, optional last-days list - that allows variable
number of days to list back, what banner to put in top of
list, and name of file.
v1.30 Support QFF extended description lines.
v1.31 Bug-Fixed version. Proviously versions ignored the
Maximum-Sec. field.
v2.00 The bug in v1.31 was refound, and refixed. Option to
prevent statistics was added, word-wrapping was added,
code was rearranged for better performance.
v2.01 A sirious bug in Last-Days list is fixed.
v2.03 Many small bugs fixes.
v2.11 Control moved from a complex command-line to a windowed
configuration maker. Offset option was added. No need to
state where does the description begin (Desc. Start
Col.).
v2.20 Option to sort master list. Added option to remove or add
download counters.
v2.30 2 Bug fixes:
■ Statistics of last-days list. Had some false results.
■ Identification routine of a valid File-Name (a file
name is now identified as a file name if it is upper
case, and is padded with spaces to be 12 characters
long).
Also added option to put ANSI Colors in lists, which will
make the list colorful. Colors are fully customized by
the SysOp.
v2.40 Some visual bugs fixed in SMCFG. Added local area-status,
which is similar to the regular statistics, but only for
the next area, and not for all areas together.
v2.58 Another small bug in SMCFG fixed. Bug with DL counters
stripping fixed too, Statistical report is now generated
in a nicer shape, and newfiles list now will seperate
files to their own areas. NewFiles list now will not
include titles of areas which do not have new files.
Better vision of area-titles (enlarging are-name with
spaces, removing under-lines etc.). SMaster can now
append automatically description to files which do not
have it. SMASTER.EXE includes a self integrity test.
Document changes, CFGUP will delete itself after
succesful work. Printer control characters (Form-Feeds)
support. Creation of MissingFiles list added as well.
v2.60 2 small fixes:
■ The "no description text" option, which made some
troubles, is now smoothly working.
■ SMaster dropped to DOS if it had to create area-status
for area with no files. Now fixed.
v3.00 This version is a "black sheep". It has many bugs which
do not appear in any version before, and are fixed it
3.00.
SMaster can now read FILES.RA too (and not only
FLSEARCH.CTL).
Total processing speed was increased in over 30%!
Two main executables: one for the 8088/8086 based
machines (XT) and one for the 80x86 machines. Makes
faster operation on AT machines. (286 version called
SMASTER2.EXE), and will crash the computer if being ran
on an XT.
If FILES.BBS is missing in one area, SMaster will
continue to the next area.
SMaster, SMCFG and SMREG are writing directly to screen,
and using DESQview aware routines.
You can now state the full name and path for the
areas-def. file (FLSEARCH.CTL/FILES.RA).
Area-Status creation is much more faster.
Orphans list (files not mentiond in FILES.BBS but exists)
added.
Independent files: Used in conjuction with the orphans
list. This is a list of file-names (or partial names) for
files which will not be included as orphans, even if they
are not listed in the FILES.BBS. SMaster also uses
several built-in names as independent files (FILES.BBS,
FILES.BAK, PFILES.BBS, 4DOSSWAP.*, NDOSSWAP.*,
DESCRIPT.ION, all-files name, new-files name,
missing-files name and orphans-list name).
SMaster's operation is much more estetical, and still
DESQview aware.
File Sharing (with SHARE.EXE) for the NetWork and
Multi-line BBSs was added.
Version 2.60 had a bug which caused it to exit with error
002 in the middle of the sort. Version 3.00 is fixed,
PLUS additional enhancments in the sort option.
The Sort routine was expanded, and doesn't have the limit
of 800 extended description and 800 files in each area.
The limit now is about 10000 files and 10000 long
description lines. SMaster uses virtual memory (using the
disk) to handle the amount of storage needed.
The registration file (SMASTER.REG) can be marked with
the READ-ONLY attribute, and SMaster will accept it.
SMaster is now shareware. You may use the unregistered
version for a 31 days introduction period, and then you
should register it (or stop using it).
