91Apr28 Released Version 5.17. (VAQ)
91May11 Parameter NOAQ no longer supported. (VAQ)
91May13 If logged user has SCREENLENGTH and PAUSE set and if
current message triggers the "-More-" prompt, Citadel
will clear the console screen prior to displaying
the next message. We try this on the Sysops before
we send it out the modem and foist it onto the users! (VAQ)
91May13 CTDL.EXE Command-line parameters LOGTRY and ANSI are no longer valid.
These are now in CTDLCNFG.SYS, with #LOGTRY <integer> and
#ANSICONSOLE <0 or 1> taking their place. #LOGTRY <integer>
specifies the number of bad login tries a caller will be
allowed before Citadel hangs up the phone. #ANSICONSOLE
takes a value of 0 (false) or 1 (true) and determines whether
the local console displays using ANSI colors or "old style"
colors (still as a command line parameter). (VAQ)
91May13 CONFG.EXE updated to reflect new variables in CTDLCNFG.SYS
and set at Version 10.1. Release of Citadel:K2NE V5.18
will REQUIRE the use of the new configurator, and to run
CONFG N using the new CONFG.EXE configurator prior to
using the new CTDL.EXE code or evil things will happen! (VAQ)
91May13 Citadel UTILITIES updated to reflect new CTDLTABL that
is generated by the new CONFG program. Old utilities will
not work with V5.18 or newer. (VAQ)
91May14 CTDL.EXE command-line parameter "+SLOW" is no longer valid.
There is a new variable in CTDLCNFG.SYS, namely #MODEMSPEED,
which behaves as follows:
1) #MODEMSPEED 0
Use this if your modem is not fast enough to take a
"raw dump" of the init strings from the computer.
2) #MODEMSPEED 1
Use this if your modem CAN take a "raw dump" of the
init strings from the computer.
Past experience has shown that most "Hayes compatible"
modems can take the init-strings at "full speed" and hence,
#MODEMSPEED 1 appears to be the best choice in most cases.
However, notably, the "real" Hayes modems CAN'T do this!
91May14 CTDL.EXE command-line parameter "+NETLOG" is no longer valid.
This has also been placed into CTDLCNFG.SYS as the variable
#NETLOG. Permissable values are 0 or 1. If you want your
system to create and keep a log of your network sessions,
use #NETLOG 1 otherwise use #NETLOG 0 and no network log
will be generated. You should remove this (and the other
previously mentioned) parameters from any line in your
main BBS batch-file that calls CTDL.EXE into action.
NOTE - CONFG.EXE is updated for these changes, as are
the utility programs. (VAQ)
91May15 CTDL.EXE command-line paramater "+NOCHATATALL" is no longer
valid and has been replaced by #NEVERCHAT in CTDLCNFG.SYS,
with #NEVERCHAT 0 indicating anyone may page the sysop for
chat, and #NEVERCHAT 1 indicating that only remote sysops
can page for chat (which presumes that they first have used
the remote password). (VAQ)
91May16 CTDL.EXE command-line parameter "+NODOORS" is no longer
valid and has been replaced by #NEWDOORPRIVS in CTDLCNFG.SYS.
Use #NEWDOORPRIVS 1 if you want a new user to automatically
have door privileges, and #NEWDOORPRIVS 0 otherwise. If you
are running your system under any of the "closed" or "restricted
access" options then this really doesn't matter since your
CTRL-L V sequence for user validation will prompt for door
privileges and set the user's account according to your response
at the time you validate the user. (VAQ)
91May18 CTDL.EXE command-line parameter "short=<integer>" is no longer
valid and has been replaced by #SESSIONTIMELIMIT in CTDLCNFG.SYS.
This will eventually be supplanted by the ability to define
session time-limits through the use of #EVENT lines so that
the sysop can make this a time (or day) dependent variable.
If you want to run your system without any session limits,
you can use #SESSIONTIMELIMIT 0 or you can simply omit the
line entirely. Otherwise, the number you use as your setting
for #SESSIONTIMELIMIT will govern the time a user will be
permitted online (per call) in minutes. (VAQ)
91May25 Modified the output format of NODELIST.EXE to produce output
which is compatible with TOPOL.EXE, a product of Hue, Jr.
of Minneapolis MN. Direct the output of NODELIST.EXE to
a filename of your choice and then use the resulting file
in conjunction with TOPOL.EXE to perform network analysis. (VAQ)
91May26 Citadel will now place a message in your Aide room whenever
a new user first calls your system. Thanks to Mike Cottle
for this suggestion! (VAQ)
91May27 Released Version 5.18. (VAQ)
