Phantom Teleconference Version 1.64
Update Information
Release: January 26, 1994
This update contains the following bug fixes, and additions:
January 25, 1994
----------------
1.0 Teleconference Additions
Phantom Teleconference now has the ability to support Opus/Avatar
control/colour codes. A use may select Opus/Avatar codes, ANSI
codes, or TTY terminal by editing their user preferences, using
option number four (4). Opus/Avatar may also be forced on the
command line using the /O command line parameter. Opus/Avatar
will override ANSI codes.
Phantom Teleconference now supports 2 sets of text files, and they
are as follows:
ACTNVOCA.ASC & ACTNVOCA.ANS
---------------------------
These two files, if present will be displayed to the user when
the user requests a list of action commands. If the files do
not exist, the teleconference will generate a list and display
it to the user.
MAXCHATS.ASC & MAXCHATS.ANS
---------------------------
These two files, if present will be displayed to the user when
the user is a non-paying, or non-live user who has exceeded the
specified number of maximum chats.
Both sets of files are to be located in the directory that PHTConf
is running from. The file extensions mean the following:
.ASC = ASCII/TTY file, sent DIRECTLY as is to the user.
.ANS = ANSI file. This file, if ANSI is active, will be displayed
properly. If Opus/Avatar codes are selected, PHTConf will
translate the ANSI codes to Opus/Avatar codes.
In addition, in these files, you may specify special file tokens to
control output. The tokens are enclosed in brace brackets, and the
tokens are as follows:
C = Clear the screen
B = Allow the user to use CTRL-C to stop displaying the current
file.
An example of using these tokens would be to place {C} anywhere in the
file (normally at the beginning), and this would clear the screen. You
may also put more than one token in the brace brackets, such as {CB}.
The order of the tokens does not matter.
2.0 Bug Fixes
All known bugs have been eliminated, including the teleconference
action command bug. In addition, the action command definitions was
re-structured. The new structure is as follows:
Action Word: This is the action word
Message To Actor: This is the message sent to the actor
Message To Recipient: This is the message sent to the user specified.
Message To All #1: This is the message sent when NO data and
NO Recipient is specified.
Message To All #2: This is the message sent when a Recipient is
specified.
Message To All #3: This is the message sent when a Recipient and
or user data is specified.
In addition the ability to edit/update action words has been added, and
the ability to add more than one action word in an add session.
*** NOTICE ***
If you are running a FOSSIL driver when using the teleconference, and you
notice garbage in another user's window, this is because PHTConf has a
built-in FOSSIL driver. If you wish to view other windows, have the
FOSSIL driver removed from memory before initiating the teleconference.
This is not a bug, it is simply a conflict with other FOSSIL drivers,
although this is a conflict, opperation in not effected.

1.0 Teleconference Additions
The help command was implimented. All of the help files are in the
format COMMAND.HLP Where COMMAND is the name of the command, for
example:
version.hlp
Would be the file containing the help for the version command. The
help files are text files, and are displayed directly to the user.
File control tokens are valid in these files.
User to User chat implimented. The user to user chat will only work
when the /Z parameter is specified, denoting a network. It is
HIGHLY advised that if you are not using a RAM DISK for the conference
that you do if you wish to use the user to user chat. For information
on installing RAM disks, please see the documentation. If you are not
running a network, and wish to use the user to user chat, you may
specify the /Z parameter, and there will be no errors.
While in the user to user chat, CTRL S will list the users currently
in the teleconference, and ESC or CTRL [ will exit the private chat.
Registration scheme re-designed, and registration checking routines
fully implimented.
5 Node testing limit on non-registered, valid copies of PHTConf was
implimented.
2.0 Bug Fixes
The error where it would not tell you always when a user enters the
conference that you are currently in, has been fixed.
The user page feature has been disabled due to port conflictions,
this function however will be available shortly.
