■ What a year! We have a new distribution site for most, if not all, of
Whitewater Technologies' products - THE DAVASOFT BBS. After having 2 hard
drive crashes, long-business trips to distant places, etc. - I've
hadn't much time to devote to programming PPE's. But now that there's
DAVASOFT handling registrations, it definitely clears some more time up
for me to program even more... Support: I will be offering support via
DAVASOFT BBS, simply email me through DAVASOFT via one of the
following:
- Email "Gregg Graubins"
- Enter an Internet email message to splash@mcs.net
■ I've altered the registration scheme in this version. In the previous
versions, some Sysops were having trouble with the PPE reading in a
CR (Carraige Return) at the end of the configuration lines. If you are
a registered ZippyList Sysop, simply call DAVASOFT BBS, leave a message,
and you'll be able to obtain your new registration number.
- Sorry for all those Expiration notices; All future versions will NOT have
that. :)

■ Added ZLIST-2.PPE. This secondary PPE is meant for those systems that
would like to refrain from placing each node's work directory (i.e.
C:\PCB\NODE1\WORK, C:\PCB\NODE2\WORK, etc.) inside the DLPATH.LST. In
this PPE, when the user presses (D)ownload Captured file, ZippyList will
first FLAG the file and then DOWNLOAD. As a result, the user will be
asked "Download Flagged Files? (Y)".

■ Added: GERMAN.ZIP - All screens for ZippyList in German format (Including
ZTEXT.GER). Courtesy of Oliver Jenni of Nice Day BBS (Ph#: 004161619619)
located in Switzerland! :)

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
■ Added: The ability for a Sysop to force the menu screens at *ALL* times
regardless of whether or not the user has their expert mode toggled on.
NOTE: YOU MUST ALTER YOUR ZLIST.CFG SO IT CORRESPONDS TO THE NEW FORMAT.
THE ONLY LINE THAT HAS BEEN INSERTED IN THIS RELEASE IS LINE #5.
(Thanks John Stewart!)
■ Fixed: Previously, if a user started a search and had the "Capture for
download?" turned OFF, upon trying to exit ZippyList it would tell the
user that he/she had not yet downloaded the capture file and would prompt
then if they would like to compress and download it. Now, it will *ONLY*
prompt if he/she had performed a search and had the "Capture for
download?" toggled ON.
■ We optimized the code a little more to decrease the size of the
ZLIST.PPE is relation to the features added. :)
■ In the previous version, a price decrease to $10 for ZippyList was added.
Unfortunately, it had gone back up to $15. :( We all need $$, obviously,
to support our own systems. Thanks goes out to those who registered
ZippyList! :)
Just a reminder: You may order online via our support system with
your Credit Card.

│▒▒▒▒▒ HISTORY - ZippyList v1.3 ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 03/21/94 ▒▒▒▒▒│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
■ Due to Clark Development's "new" Support/Renewal Plan, we have lowered
the price of ZippyList to $10 to help make a Sysop's life easier (And
less expensive)! :)
■ Fixed a minor bug that wouldn't allow the user to scan the (U)pload
directories.
■ We failed to mention that everytime ZippyList initializes it will
delete any previous contents. This will help prevent the user from
entering it twice during one logon session and downloading the same
ZipFile. It will also prevent (In case the Sysop hasn't deleted the
work file during the $$LOGOFF.BAT) another user downloading someone
else's file. :)
■ NOTE: Line #29 of the ZLIST.CFG has been altered! In prior versions, I
placed the '-!' parameter for PKZIP so it would authentically verify
the WHITE.ZIP file the user downloaded from our system. However, there
were some Sysops who left this 'as is' and didn't remove it. Therefore,
whenever their system shelled to PKZIP.EXE it would show the PKZIP Help
Screen and would require that someone pressed a key to continue.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
■ Added: Multiple help screens have been added so that a user may
press "H" (Or "?") from *any* menu inside ZippyList.
NOTE: YOU MUST ALTER YOUR ZLIST.CFG SO IT CORRESPONDS TO THE NEW
FORMAT. THE ONLY LINES THAT HAVE BEEN ALTERED ARE THE ZHLP*.
(THE NAME HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM ZHELP TO ZHLP FOR THE MAIN
MENU HELP FILE)
(Thanks Steve Williams!)
■ There were some errors (i.e. Punctuation and extra commands) that
were inside the main menu help file. Fixed. I also worded some
things around a bit.
■ In the prior release, if the WELCOME file was not found - ZippyList
would log:
■ Error: WELCOME file not found!
There are some Sysops that don't wish to display the welcome file at
any time - So they will be able to simply remove this file. Now,
ZippyList will log:
■ WELCOME file not found - Bypassing
■ IMPORTANT: In the prior release, I failed to mention that you should
alter your $$LOGOFF.BAT so it will delete your 'temporary'
compressed file after the user logs off. For example, we have in
ours:
$$LOGOFF.BAT
============
IF EXIST C:\PCB\NODE%PCBNODE%\WORK\WHITE.ZIP DEL C:\PCB\NODE%PCBNODE%\WORK\WHITE.ZIP
This has been documented in the ZLIST.DOC for this version.
■ Initial Release of ZippyList!
