==============================================================
HISTORY OF BBSX UPDATES THAT MAY REQUIRE CONFIGURATION CHANGES
==============================================================
January 21, 1989 - v.1.33h
1. ANSI text is now displayed correctly on the local screen. ANSI.SYS or
a compatibile ANSI driver must be loaded before BBSX. You can use ANSI escape
sequences in .BLT and .POL files.
January 20, 1989 - v.1.33e
1. LEVEL###.BLT added (where ### = a security level). LEVEL###.BLTs are
displayed to users once daily, based on their security levels, immediately
after NEWS.BLT and NEWUSER.BLT. For example, LEVEL1.BLT is displayed to
security level 1 users, LEVEL2.BLT to level 2 users, and so on. This is not
yet documented in BBSX.DOC.
2. Message base scrolls sometimes (rarely) deleted the wrong pointers in
.PTR files. Fixed with this release.
January 15, 1989 - v.1.33a
1. MODEM_TIMER code enhanced. Set your MODEM_TIMER to 1 or 2 seconds if
it is currently higher. Adjust the setting until performance is satisfactory
and the NODE.LOG does not report "command failed" messages.
2. Embedded spaces are no longer allowed in the FILES_PATH, UPLOAD_PATH
and download/upload filenames.
January 14, 1989 - v.1.32e
1. /PUBLIC switch added to BBS.BAT. Disallows PRIVATE messages. Not yet
documented in BBSX.DOC.
January 9, 1989 - v.1.32b
1. Batch files updated.
January 5, 1989 - v.1.31d
1. Text files (.BLTs, .LSTs and .POLs) containing ASCII character 07 (^G
a/k/a the BEL character) will not produce "beeps" if the local speaker is
toggled off (using the F3 key).
December 27, 1988 - v.1.31a
BBSX.DOC completely revised. Check it out.
November 20, 1988 - v.1.25a
1. PROTOCOL.BLT retired from use.
2. BBS.BAT start-up switches updated. See BBSX.DOC.
November 6, 1988 - v.1.23a
1. FTX.BAT updated to compensate for aborted upload problem with DSZ. On
uploads aborted before the first data block has been sent, DSZ (incorrectly,
in our opinion) returns an ERRORLEVEL of 0.
October 8, 1988 - v.1.18c
1. See BBSX.DOC for IMPORTANT NOTE on MS DOS' buggy CTTY command.
2. Some Practical Peripheral's (PPI) modems do not respond to the escape
code sent by BBSX at the end of a call and, consequently, cannot hang up the
phone.
Practical Peripherals has acknowledged a bug in PPI EPROM versions 1.04
and earlier is at the root of this problem. Owners of PPI modems should call
PPI Tech Support at 1-818-706-2474 and request a *FREE* EPROM upgrade.
October 1, 1988 - v.1.17f
1. Non-stop .BLT command changed from ~! to ~N.
2. Force-read .BLT command added. See BBSX.DOC.
3. NEWUSER.BLT file added. See BBSX.DOC.
September 14, 1988 - v.1.15d
1. NEWS.BLT file added. See BBSX.DOC.
September 11, 1988 - v.1.15b
1. UPLOAD_PATH field in BBSX.INI modified. Now, if the UPLOAD_PATH field
is blank, BBSX will store uploads in the last FILES_PATH selected by the user
via the AREA command.
September 11, 1988 - v.1.15a
1. Daily time limits now enforced.
September 3, 1988 - v.1.13p
1. GROUP, FILES and PROTOCOL "NAME" fields reduced to 50 characters
maximum.
August 29, 1988 - v.1.13d ßeta
1. Questionnaires added.
