[v2.6] Opening screen displays InterBBS: Inactive even when it is
active. Only affects the opening screen display!
A NEW option has been added to the CFG file to control whether
or not you wish to have the door LOG callers (ON/OFF) to a
USAGE file. A separate file is created for each Node.
01/31/96
[v2.5] ALIAS option NOT working properly.
When entering a message, the body of the message was being
converted to upper case. With this version we will not
convert to upper case.
Added 'last date played' to Bulletins for NON-InterBBS only
If a Player logged on prior to midnight on the last day of the
month and plays past midnight on the 1st of the new month, the
monthly maintenance routine would 'kick in' during the players
logon.
07/01/95
[v2.4] Error # 55 generated after sending a message followed by a
player displaying the High Scores.
06/29/95
[v2.3] Added a NEW option that will allow the player to send/read a
message to any other game players. The player will also be
given the option of replying to a message they have just read.
All messages will be maintained within the Door itself and will
have no connection to the BBS message bases.
Added another CFG option to control the new message option
The InterBBS program creates a Prior Month Top 10 file. The
file will be displayed whenever the player requests a High
Score display and/or at door exit, if the .T10 file is found
in the Door directory!
01/08/95
[v2.2] 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.
A first time caller to the Door was being given a black and
white screen throughout the Door. The caller would then have
to use the Door option to toggle the color on. The Door will
now default to having the color turned on and the caller will
have to use the color toggle, on the game menu, to turn it off.
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.
As more and more BBS' use Alias', we have been asked to
provide a way for the callers to use their Alias' rather
than their LogonName. All Sunrise Doors will now have this
Sysop configurable option in the CFG file.
If participating in an InterBBS game, the number of games per
day will NOT be overridden by the security specific entries in
the CFG file.
08/11/94
[v2.1] When the game was being reset at the end of month, the JACKPOT
was not. With this release we will be resetting the JACKPOT
file at the same time the game is reset.
A new option has been added to the CFG file to control the
number of high score entries you wish to be displayed when
the player chooses the appropriate option OR when they are
leaving the game. There is no maximum/minmum that can be
displayed OR you can use ZERO(0) to display ALL entries.
If the XXXX/YYYY entries in the CFG file were entered in
LOWERCASE, the Door would display a CFG error and return to BBS
If the number of games played was greater than 99, the program
would abort with an Error 5 (Illegal Function Call) as soon as
the playing screen was updated.
Using a NEW entry in the CFG, you can now define the number of
months to retain in the HALL of FAME files.
Added a new option to the playing menu that allows the player
to toggle the Color On/Off.
Changed the (C)lear Entries option to (E)rase Entries to
accommodate the new (C)olor option.
You will have to run a conversion program called USREXPND
(included in the Door ZIP file). This program is to be run ONCE
ONLY if you are upgrading from an earlier version of the Door.
If you do not wish to run the conversion program you can just
delete the .USR file (deleting the USR file causes the game to
start over with all prior scores being lost).
Prior versions cleared the keyboard buffer and would not allow
the player to 'stack' their responses.
03/12/94
[v2.0] Past problems with large values in the Door.Sys or other System
Files (Drop Files) generating an OVERLOW (Error 6) error, have
been resolved.
When the Door displays the opening screen, it asks if you want
instructions and you are forced to enter a Y or N. This was
installed to handle problems encountered when using Digiboards.
With this release you can choose whether you want to force a
y/n OR if you want to use the y/N format which allows the
player to press ENTER for the default N. You must update your
CFG file, see DOC file.
11/26/93
[v1.9] The Makeup days option and number of games played/remaining,
was not working properly if you left the game and came back
in to continue playing. You never lost any turns/games since
the turns/games would readjust the next day.
When playing in an InterBBS game, the BULLETINS created will
reflect the same screen as that seen when looking at the
Door's high scores (will not affect non-InterBBS games).
The Hiscore display when in the InterBBS mode, has changed.
The number of games a player has PLAYED will be shown in the
space previously occupied by the LAST DATE PLAYED. With this
change a player can now tell if the players around them have
played all their games to date or are possibly holding back.
Multiplying today's day number by the number of games allowed
per day will give the total number of PLAYS a player should
have if they are CURRENT.
Non-registered version will automatically reset the player's
scores anywhere from the 17th thru 29th day of use
Increased the number fo games per day allowed in the
non-registered version
If playing InterBBS, the Score display will flash the player's
name to make it easier for them to spot their position in the
top scores.
08/21/93
[v1.8] Sysop was not being allowed to make up any days, even though
the option was turned on. Seems like this little bug has
been there for a LONG time and no one reported it. FIXED!
08/21/93
[v1.7] Score files were not being created properly and InterBBS was
dropping players from the KENO.ISC file. If you have a
KENO.ISC file and or a KENO0.xxx file, delete them and
they will correct themselves.
08/14/93
[v1.6] Had several reports of occasional error message being
generated when using the "D" option.
08/11/93
[v1.5] Introducing an INTER-BBS option whereby players may compete
against players from any number of other BBS', running
KENO.. See Docs for a more indepth explanation as well as
an explanation of the new CFG option.
Added a Screen Refresh option.
Added an option to display the High Scores at any time
during the game.
Added an option to display the Instructions at any time
during the game.
For technical reasons, we no longer support CHAIN.TXT
06/19/93
[v1.4] Removed delay at start of game
Added support for the PCBoard /M versions
03/12/93
[v1.3] To speed up the drawing of the number board, we have removed
the vertical and horizontal line within the board's box.
Now supports Comm Ports 0-15
Hall of Fame routine was working only partially. Correct
player was listed in HOF, but with a blank score.
If no one played the door or if the highest score obtained
during the month was zero, the game will NOT show a Hall of
Fame entry for the month.
Callers will be required to answer the "Want Instructions.."
question with a Y or N. This was required to circumvent a
problem encountered when running under WildCat's IM version.
Hall of Fame display was always displaying in color, regardless
of the color setting of the current session.
12/04/92
[v1.2] Added a new option to the game that allows player to
let the computer pick their numbers.
Added a new option to allow the player to re-use the
last set of numbers they picked. Only good during
their current play.
New Configuration option to allow Sysop to choose whether
they want the computer to allocate 999 games to them or if
they just want to be like any other caller.
Corrected an alignment problem with the SUNHOF.ASC/ANS files.
All entries, from this point on, will be aligned properly.
You will have to manually align the existing entries (after
the next monthly maintenance run).
The Hall of Fame list will now be displayed to the player
after the High Scores (if the SUNHOF.ANS is found and the
Door is registered)
12/01/92
[v1.1] When performing the monthly maintenance the program
aborted and left the system hung or required you to
press enter to continue. Please accept our apologies
for this oversight. We inadvertantly left some code
in the program that we use to test.
To bring the game more in line with the 'traditional'
game of KENO, we have increased the number of computer
picks to 20. This means the caller will be trying to
match their 8 picks against the computer's 20. You
should start seeing some higher scores with this change.
11/20/92
[v1.0] Initial release
