Deluxe Conference Menu - History of Changes / Fixes / etc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
■ Release Date - Version Number ■
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
■ 02-16-94 - v2.4 ■
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added better EMS and DOS version checking, as you will see.
- Added better reporting on errors.
- Fixed a problem with a record size being corrupt (wrong data type)
- Now display a little more info for the sysop to see.
- Decided to add some nice screen displays to DCM (later release)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
■ 02-14-94 - v2.3 ■
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Speeded up the sorting process dramatically.
- Fixed a bug in the defineable color codes (Thanks Stephanie!)
- EMS memory is now verified before written to / read from. Not
a real reason for this, but there was no speed decrease, so -
Why Not?
- Began work on the windows version of DCM.EXE. (Be Patient!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
■ 02-11-94 - v2.20 ■
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Upgrade
- Removed the use of PCBoard's Toolkit Library. We're sick
of needing to report bugs. (PCBoard and the Toolkit are
Copyrights of Clark Development Co.)
- Changed DCM's code to allow for UNLIMITED networks AND
UNLIMITED conferences (ANYWHERE!) Restricted only by your
available amount of EMS memory (the more, the better!)
- DCM.EXE now requires that you have EMS available for it's work
space. You need 1 page (16,384 bytes of EMS) to process up to
960 conferences. If this memory is not available you will not
be able to run the program. REMEMBER - the PPE does not need
EMS, so do not worry - the EXE file is the only EMS dependent
portion, and you only run it once! (Offline too!)
- Changed the DCM.PPE to handle the new way files are worked.
Nothing major.
- Note, thanks to Mike Labbe (ENC BBS) we have tested DCM with
about 7000 conferences. The sorting takes a little while,
but it is proven to work just fine. We're speeding up the
sort now...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
■ 02-04-94 - v2.11 ■
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed a bug that would lockup if you had a large number of
conferences. Special thanks to Mike Labbe for helping to
resolve the problem.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
■ 02-02-94 - v2.10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Removed the need for output file declaration in the CFG file.
- Fixed a bug when joining conference 0 (It now abandons.)
- Added support for up to 30,000 conferences max.
- Sped up code over 1000%.
- Reduced .EXE and .PPE size considerably.
- Added a better type of (A)ll conferences display file.
Now all the conferences are actually combined together,
reguardless of network.
- Added support for a Printer-Ready text file for users
to be able to download and print your complete conference
list.
- Added a Flag command for users to be able to flag the
printer-ready text file through the PPE.
- Added On-Line Help for the PPE's commands, and to allow
the user to find out what the E, F, and P's were next
to the conference names.
- DCM will now work with a system containing NO networks,
thus the sysop only defines NET1= anc C1= in the CFG file.
the whole network screen is thus skipped.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
■ 01-20-94 - v2.00 ■
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Updated DCM to fix a problem with the SORT feature.
- Also added support for up to 20,000 conferences PER NET,
depending upon available memory - any problems, please call
us voice...
