v 2.0 08/29/91 Verifix is now Wildcat 3.0 compatible.
Changed the "demo key" concept a bit. Now verifix is
distributed with a demo key good for 90 days, depending
when you downloaded it from a bbs.
Has a choice on whether or not you want to hang up on a
user after he/she has been verified.
Verifix now internally upgrades the user automatically.
No need for external upgrade programs.
New registration address. Sophisticated Software BBS in
Pennsylvania (215) 968-4998 is the direct support bbs.
v 1.6 06/12/91 If a user changed his phone number from the callinfo.bbs
number, VERIFIX would write garbage in the activity.log and
validusr.yes file - FIXED
If you added a pre-dial prefix longer than 9,, VERIFIX would
not call out properly - FIXED
If the sysop happend to use his calling card code in the
pre-dial prefix, that code would be displayed to the caller,
dumb mistake! :-) - FIXED
Added the ability for the SysOp to abort callback by hitting
the ESCape key.
The local keyboard is now "live" while VERIFIX is active.
The UPGRADE.EXE program that is packaged with VERIFIX has
been fixed (Thanks Dave Cody!). You can now upgrade people
with 3 names, i.e. David Lee Roth. Also, there is more
error checking.
**************** N O T E ******************
This is the LAST version of VERIFIX until Wildcat 3.0 is
released. We are currently re-writing VERIFIX to run under
Wildcat 3.0
v 1.5 05/10/91 Added Support for COM3 and COM4 (ANSI standard ONLY)
Further Code Optimization for SPEED of execution, and
less program memory SIZE.
Additional information written to the ACTIVITY.LOG file.
LOCAL.NBS file (created by sysop) added so SysOps can
enter only the local exchanges so long distance
exchanges in the same area code will NOT be called.
Caller must strike a key to continue after EVERY screen.
This way the screens won't 'fly by'.
Timeout functions added to ensure user doesn't hold your BBS
on-line too long during the call back sequence.
Phone number entry screen changed. Asks the user if
he wishes to be called back with the phone number residing
in the callinfo.bbs file first.
Added VCONFIG editor for creating the VERIFIX.CFG file.
Senses DESQview or Windows 3.0, VERIFIX will give up
timeslices to the multitasker while waiting for a remote
keypress.
You can append up to 25 numbers to the phone number being
dialed. This is useful in a office environment, add
9, to get an outside line.
Graphical upgrades and changes, minor spelling errors and
corrections.
v 1.4 xx/xx/xx Alpha test. Version not released to public.
v 1.3 02/25/91 Minor upgrade. Added support for backspace in the phone
number entry and in the password entry.
More optimizations of code.
Added an option to have a message written to every newuser.
A sample file is included in this .zip file. USER#.SCR and
USER#.BBS. This file will write to its corresponding user.
Refer to README.NOW for examples.
When Verifix hangs up on the user, it will take the phone
off the hook instantly. This leaves no time for the phone
to be onhook, to confuse incoming callers.
Verifix now has FILE AUTHENTICITY VERIFICATION! If you don't
see UBU867 when you unzip this file you have a HACKED copy!
v 1.2 01/22/91 Corrected some typo's in the program and in the
documentation.
Added a feature regarding logoff. Verifix now writes
Signed Off Normally to the activity.log if the user
gets validated, or writes Dropped Carrier if the user
is not validated.
Optimized code a bit.
Added an external program to be run called UPGRADE.EXE
Special thanks to Dave Cody of The Boardwalk! BBS.
v 1.1 01/06/90 Verifix now writes a file called PHONE.NBS. This is a file
with all the phone numbers verifix has called. Users won't
be able to use verifix twice.
Writes to the activity.log, VALIDUSR.NO and VALIDUSR.YES
files.
Fixed the null pointer error message when program exits.
Verifix does not hang up on a caller if their security
level is too high.
Sysop can create a new display file called BENCALED.SCR or
BENCALED.BBS. This file is displayed to a user that has
been verified, BUT not been upgraded yet.
v 1.0 12/21/90 Initial release of verifix call back verifier for WILDCAT!
