- --- What's new in BBS-Base release 1.9c ---
-
- Fixed a phone number bug in 1.8c which used a different format than what is
- called for.
-
- Added a little color to the short listing.
-
- Removed date-compiled information from various screens.
-
- Added the ability to search by an embedded string in the phone number field.
- This allows users to search on area codes, etc.. I.e., the ability to do
- a search on (612) for example, or 938- or whatever.

-
- 1.7 is trash. Treat it as such and throw it away. Far away.
-
- Two variables weren't being initialized and cause garbage to be output
- randomly. This has been fixed.
-
- Provided a conversion program called BBSCVT.EXE that will upgrade existing
- 1.0 - 1.3 datafiles to 1.8 format. If you are getting garbage displayed to
- the screen while viewing the long listing, run this once and then throw it
- away. I would recommend backing up bbsbase.dat first.

- --- What's new in BBS-Base release 1.7c ---
-
- Added BBS names RA and XBBS.
-
- --- What's new in BBS-Base release 1.6c ---
-
- Added command line parameter /I for international phone number support.
- If used, the phone number input routine will accept up to 18 characters
- including the '-' and number characters. Input is terminated after the
- 18th character is received or when <ENTER> is pressed.
-
- --- What's new in BBS-Base release 1.5c ---
-
- Added command line parameter /D. When used, this will allow any user to
- <D>elete any entries within the database.
-
- Hotkeys no longer pause before taking effect. And, the short listing can
- now be aborted by pressing the 'S' key.
-
- Added command line parameter /C. When used, BBS-Base will convert a local
- BBS list (text file) that you specify.
-
- --- What's new in BBS-Base release 1.3c ---
-
- Added command line parameter /E. When used, this will allow any user to
- <C>hange any entries within the database. However, deletion is still only
- allowed by the Sysop or the person who originally entered the database
- entry. This suggestion comes from Stuart Wilson. Thanks, Stu!
-
- --- What's new in BBS-Base release 1.2c: ---
-
- Changed authorization to <C>hange or <D>elete an entry. In previous releases,
- the Sysop of the BBS running BBS-Base or the person who entered an entry were
- the only ones qualified to delete it. Now, additionally, the Sysop of the
- BBS in the entry is also qualified. For example, if someone enters your BBS
- information in BBS-Base on another system and you logon and see that the
- information is not correct, you can change it yourself or delete it if you
- chose not to be listed on that system.
-
- Updated the StringFormat procedure. Previously, all strings entered had their
- first character shifted to upper case. The remainder of the string was left
- as-is. The remainder of the strings will now be shifted to lower case. This
- is to prevent the ugly-looking un-uniform mix of upper and lower case entries
- within the database.
-
- When an entry is deleted, the program no longer resorts the database file.
- A new BBS.LST is written but since only a deletion is taking place, there
- is no need to resort.
