- The problem with reading BBS file lists in local mode locking up the
system crept back in. It is now squashed for good!! Sorry for the
slip up.
Thu 12-05-1991 v0.08ß
- Added the ability to edit the up/download queues and delete items
from them
Wed 12-04-1991 v0.07ß
- Fixed a problem (I think) when viewing BBS file list in local mode.
This was hanging the system, but should ONLY have happened in local
mode, not regular door use. Please make sure this works in both
modes now.
- Added check for valid DOS file name when user is entering names to
the up/download queues.
Wed 12-04-1991 v0.06ß
- Made some changes to facilitate multi-node systems. HSLDoor will now
create HSLTRxx.WRK where xx is the node number. This will allow
several nodes to access the same HSLDOOR.EXE as each door will have
it's own work directory. The HSLTR.WRK directory will no longer be
used and may be deleted. I also added the ability to indicate the
path to the SFDOORS.DAT file (or SFMESS, SFFILE, SFMAIN.DAT files).
You do this by using /DAT= on the command line. This eliminates the
need to copy the .DAT file to the HSLDOOR.EXE directory. Here is an
example of the call to the door a multi-node system might use:
:DOOR_H
CD\SF\HSLDR
HSLDOOR /DAT=C:\SF
CD\
GOTO LOOP
- Cleaned up a lot of the routines used for local mode so that it
should more accurately mirror remote mode.
- There are now Upload and Download menus. From these menus, you can
add files to be queued for upload or download. You can also view the
files currently in those queues. Still to come is the ability to
edit these queues.
- There is now a <V>iew BBS File Lists option from the main menu. When
you go to this menu you will be presented with the descriptions of
the first 10 file areas. You can page through this listing with <N>
to get the next set of areas or <P> to go back in this list. To view
the SFFILES.BBS for a certain area, enter that area's number. If an
area is not available to a security level, but IS marked as Preview it
will be displayed. If an area is not available to a user and IS NOT
marked Preview, it should display as "Not Available". I had some
problems with the Non-Stop mode of listing these files on slow
non-error correcting connections. Please test this function under as
many configurations as possible.
I think we are getting close here. Looking for suggestions and
comments. Thanks for taking the time to work with this door.

- Private uploads are now working. When a user enters '\' as the first
character in an upload description, the file will be copied to the
destination directory, but HEYSYSOP.LOG will be updated with the file
name, description etc. instead of SFFILES.BBS.
- Changed the way file directories are stored in the program. Please
test that users can find the files they have access to and are denied
those they don't have access to.
- Added a status line on the BBS side that shows caller and calling
from.
- Fixed bug in the way KUploaded and Downloaded were being incremented.
They should now update correctly.
- Added the ability to view the list of files queued for upload or
download. Coming soon, the ability to view file listings for the
areas the users have access to.
Any other comments or suggestions?
Thu 11-28-1991 v0.04ß
- Changed the format of the configuration file. Please see the sample
enclosed. You must use the key words, BBS=, REGNO=, and DEST=. You
can now specify a name for an alternate log file. By default the
door will write it's information to the CALLERS.TMP file for this
node. If this is what you desire it to do, you DON'T need to add the
LOG= line. If you would like logging to go to a different file than
CALLERS.TMP, add the LOG= line that contains the full path and file
name of your alternate log file. (Is this what you were looking for
Dave?).
- Added display of approximate transfer times on downloads. The door
will also not allow a user to download more files than they have time
for.
- Private uploads don't work yet, even though the file description
prompt indicates to use the '\' for private uploads. This should be
functional in the next release (this weekend I hope if I don't OD on
Turkey and Cranberries!).
Wed 11-27-1991 v0.03ß
- Added support for COM1 - COM4... I hope. (sorry Ron <grin>, let me know
if this works).
- Added tracking of available time in door.
- Added check for duplicate files on uploads.
- Door will now only allow the number of downloads specified for this
security level.
- Added queued file info to main screen.
- HSLDoor now accurately reports HS/Link's exit codes and logs them.
* In addition to the things listed in the sketchy docs, I still have to
add estimated file transfer times and checking to make sure the user
does not exceed their time limit.
Any other suggestions are welcomed. Let's hear from ya!
