BATS v.1.10
Open Gamma 1.10
* Released Open Gamma to select users and promotions activated on April
8th, 1994.
Final Betas 7-9
* Finished BATS.DOC and UPDATE.DOC.
* Command line options have changed, you cannot scan and sort on the
same command line, and you no longer need to use ARCHIVE and DELETE
as this information is stored in BATS.CFG.
* Finished BATSCFG.EXE, This handles all of the configuration in BATS.
You no longer can edit BATS.CFG and BATSLOGS.CFG with a text editor,
please delete these files and re-create them with BATSCFG.EXE. Delete
BATSINIT.EXE. No longer needed.
* Errors no longer hang up the scanners.
* Missing Log doesnt call the help file up.
* Sys Act Graph no longer has minimum of 1, its true.
Beta 6
* Changed the programs some. BATS no longer scans. Each individual
BBS package has thier own UTILITY program call ??TOOLS.EXE where the
first two letters are for thier BBS. This does the scans and sort.
* BATSDOOR now has the SysOp Pages stuff in it.
* Windows should have titles in the border just to remind you where you are.
* Errors will now pop up a window which is linked to the HELP file making it
very simple to understand the error....I can also UPDATE this file much
easier as the need arises.
* WildCat! Scanner now has a SECNAME.LST for renaming the SECURITY NAMES to
numbers.
* Menu help was completely updated.
* SysOp Paged scanning is now active and functioning in RA,QBBS, and WildCAT!
Wildcat! does not write the reason paged in the log (probably doesnt ask)
but I left the space there for future update and compatibility reasons.
* When you are presented with the date option, there is a NEW system.
Now its Today, Yesterday, Entire, and Selected Dates. Selected will return
you to the old date question.
* In List>Calls Completed, if you press enter on that persons name, BATS
will then present you with a category selection which shows only the
activity on THAT day for THAT category.
* File integrity checking now includes the existence of the other REQUIRED
files. If the Door renaming/ignoring files, configuration files and log
pointer file is not where it should be...BATS will tell you so.
Beta 5
* Added SysOp Paged Shell...All functions are installed except for SCANNING
for the proper lines. Beta 6 will include this.
* BATS will now reconstruct the LISTBATS.DAT file if it is missing for some
reason.
Beta 4
* Modified the colors of Averages, Database stats, dates, opening screen,
closing screen, register screen, userfilestats.
* Sorting of user names is NOW by last name. Currently there also shown
in this format. Only names with Jr. and Sr. are problems, and this
should not cause any real problems.
* Door was not recognizing key, fixed.
* Find options were not asthectically pleasing to Joe, and he had a good
point. There now much cleaner screens.
* Fixed the renaming of doors bug, turns out that I was ignoring the doors
in those lists instead of renaming them. Sorry bout that!
Beta 3
* Changed some more of the screens and removed the exploding windows at
the popular request of many users. The windows should no longer explode
when there created. (speeds things up)
* Optimized the code again, finding some spelling errors and other small
things, also reduced the executable a little bit, but that is going
to grow again.
* Fixed the sort loop bug.
Beta 2
* Re-did the Register Function.
* Many of the boxes are changes and things are going to look really
different.
* There was a bug in the VIEW module which caused the system to exit with
an error if there were no files. Fixed.
Beta 1
* Added support for Wildcat!
* Added online help and changed most of the boxes, making more mouse
commands available to the end user.
* Rewrote the door to support true interactive activity, COM 1-8 support
and up to 115,000 baud.
* BATS 1.10 enters BETA mode on Friday, Feb 19th, 1994 22:14pm
BATS v.1.00
* Released BATS 1.00 on Friday, Feb 19th, 1994 22:13pm
* Finally fixed a bug with SORT, now the dates are sorted correctly, and
the date function also works with the list functions.
* Fixed a serious BUG which caused BATS and USERBASE to do wierd things if
you accessed more than one account with the Search For User's Activity
function. Thanks Joe!
* Added file checking routine that ensures people have set-up correctly, and
if not then BATS will automatically create the missing directories.
* Added working message to the opening screen, people think the program is
waiting for a keypress and get agravated.
* Added /DLOG option that tells bats you dont want to save your logs and to
delete them when complete.
* Complely Rewrote door, and made it multi-node capable.
* Added auto-detection of USERBATS.DAT to ensure the program is in the proper
directory.
* Reports will now allow you to abort when it asks you for printer or file.
* Fixed a few small bugs which were never brought to my attention, but were
found durring the optimization process.
* Changed a few of the sounds.
* Changed the name from USERBASE to BATS. All KEYS for USERBASE will work
with BATS, just rename the key from USERBASE.KEY to BATS.KEY
* The log scanner now reads and archives logs specified in BATSLOGS.CFG
making the instalation EVEN easier.
* Merged all files into one executble, reducing the code size and archive
size considerably!
* Re-optimized the code, reducing the size of the executable.
* Added Register Feature which lets you fill out registration form.
* Added archiving of logs to the log scanner.
* The log scanner will now automatically SORT the database files after
scanning.
* The log scanner will now automatically archive the database if it becomes
full.
* Archiving the database now allows you to VIEW it within BATS without ever
having to exit it or loose your current database. If you have old databases
you can view them with VIEW.
* Added System Activity Graph and Average Call Length to Reports.
* Included a DOORS exclusion/renaming routine which allows you to rename
the doors from thier sometimes cryptic line params to a readable phrase.
READ the instructions in IGNRDOOR.LST and ALASDOOR.LST. These are REQUIRED
files and should not be deleted.
USERBASE 1.10a
* Fixed a stupid bug which caused LOOKUP to just STOP working after a
certain date. Sorry folks!
