[V1.5] Caller was still being asked if they wanted New profiles since
last logon. Hopefully we have it fixed this time.
If you did not supply the Profile CFG file name on the command
line when executing PROFMANT, you were presented with an error
message that you would not understand. A better message is now
presented, along with an example execution entry.
If the last user in the database had a picture attached and a
new user was added to the database, the new user profile would
pick up the picture name of the last user.

[v1.4] If you place a file called WELCOME in the Profile directory, it
will be displayed IMMEDIATELY following the opening screen.
In an effort to help with the user inputting random characters
(!@#$%, etc) we have added an OPTIONAL file called CHAR.OK. The
file will contain ONLY VALID CHARACTERS you wish to allow the
caller to use when responding to the questions. If the file,
CHAR.OK, is not found in the PROFILE directory, no checking
will take place. We have included a sample file containing
valid Alpha and Numeric values.
When viewing an individual Profile, the caller will no longer
be asked if the want New profiles since last logon.

[v1.3] To help eliminate the use of language that may be offensive to
other callers, we have now allowed for the creation of a TRASH
CAN file (PROFTCAN.DAT). You would fill this file with words
that you do NOT want to allow the caller to enter in response
to ANY of the questions. See DOCs for more information.
With this version we introduce a new feature that allows for
the attachment, and subsequent downloading, of a PICTURE file.
The Caller uploads the picture (any format(s) you desire), you
'attach' it to the caller's profile vai the PROFMAINT program.
REQUIRES: PROTOCOL.DAT file (included) AND protocol BATCH
files found in PROBATCH.ZIP
Sysop will now have the ability to EDIT ANY PROFILE. A SYSOP
option will appear on the main menu when the Sysop is using
the Door.
When the (V)iew option is chosen the caller will have the
option of displaying the profiles in a DETAILED or SUMMARY
fashion. If the SUMMARY option is chosen the caller can chose
the one(s) they wish to have displayed in DETAIL.

[v1.2] Eliminated the 'ANSI not detected....' message since there are
a few communications packages out there that give off their
own type of ANSI.
If using the TRIBBS.SYS system file, the door always presented
the opening screen in black and white. Will now be presented
in color.
The Door knows that the caller is the Sysop, if the caller is
record #1 in the BBS' user database. The BBS software passes
that record number to the door via the system file. Some BBS
software does not pass the actual record number but passes a
relative number (ie: record #1 is passed as record #0). If the
number being passsed is 0, the Door will not know it is the
Sysop calling. We will now recognize the caller as the Sysop
if their record number is 0 or 1.
When displaying user profiles you are asked if you wish to
continue or Exit after each profile is displayed. If you
replied 'e' your response would be ignored, as it was looking
for an uppercase response. This has been fixed to allowed
upper OR lowercase responses.
When viewing profiles, and the caller chooses to view ALL, the
caller will be asked if they wish to view only NEW/UPDATED
profiles since the caller's last time in the door.
With this version you will be able to supply a user's name on
the Command line, and the program will search for that user's
record, display it and return to the BBS. The best way to use
this option, which may not be adaptable to every BBS software
system, is to have a an entry on the main menu (call it PROFILE)
and using script type languages, ask the caller for a name to
look for. You would then pass that name to the PROFILE command
line. After displaying the caller's profile the caller will be
taken back to the BBS. See PROFILE.DOC for more information.
Added an option to the Profile maintenance program that allows
the Sysop to reset the answers to all questions in all user
records. When the caller next accesses the door, he/she will be
forced to re-answer the questions. In addition they will be
presented with an ASCII text file that should be used to
explain why the caller is being asked to re-answer the
questions (if the file is not found nothing will be displayed).
See DOC file for more information.

[v1.1] After viewing Profiles the program would not recognize the
caller as having been on before and presented the caller with
a new questionaire to fill out.
Added a Maintenance program that will allow you to View,
Delete, Purge Profiles.
