CyberSysop v0.01 - 1/1/96
=========================
-Initial beta release
-Awaiting BUG reports.
CyberSysop v0.02 - 1/13/96
==========================
-Added a user editor (CSEDIT.EXE) - can edit/delete/add user profiles
-Fixed a problem with the scoring. Once a player reached 32,767, CyberSysop
would give an overflow error. It was an oversight on my part by only
setting up the scoring with an integer variable, hencing making it
only able to keep score up to that 32,767 points. Now scores can
reach well over 2,000,000,000 before automatically resetting the
players game.
-Added CSCONV.EXE to fix old CSUSER.DAT files and convert to the new v0.02
user file.
-Added CSMAINT.EXE to be a nightly maintenance program that will take care
of all maintenance on the game without having to tell your .bat
file what to do like before. It will change the bulletins, and
cleanup the CSUSER.DAT file accordingly to ensure its integrity
of the life of the game.
-Fixed the UNREGISTERED bug of not enforcing the 25 actions restriction
-Trying a new way of checking for new players, before it would sometimes
screw up and not recognize an existing player and make them start
again. Now, if an error is received while reading the user file,
it will display a message to try entering the game again. This
should eliminate the duplication of players.
-No longer saves users who don't accumulate a score (i.e. 0)
-The game will now place new players in the first available slot in the
CSUSER.DAT file. Instead of just adding on at the end making the
file unnecessarily large too fast.
-Fixed the problem with buying a computer or harddrive where if you hit
enter alone at the "Selection->" prompt it would ask you if you wanted
to downgrade. That will no longer happen.
-Fixed the problem in the HACK option where it would sometimes screw up and
make it seem like you were not you any more. Now the hack option
should be working like it was first intended.
-Fixed the problem of the screen not scrolling properly when reaching the
bottom.
-Fixed a problem when the users time expired their new game results were
not being saved.
-Some people felt one of the general maintenance options that took some of
your cash for a party and thunderstorm damage was too harsh since if
you had less than $500 it might take it all. Now, it will only take
a percentage and not totally wipe you out.
-Adjusted the virus areas to make it a little more fair. Before the detecting
of viruses and the way they attacked you was kind of unfair, so it
has been adjusted to make it more friendly.
-Added a notification upon entry to the game if the player has new mail
waiting in thier mailbox.
-Added notification of new mail just received if the player is online at
the time it is sent to them.
-CyberSysop no longer requires the existance of VBDRT10.EXE to operate.
