Diamond Verification System
(C) 1994 by Huub Smit
─────────────────
March 22, 1994
+ Added
X Removed
@ Changed
! BugFix
▌ UPDATES AND BUGFIXES 2.10 -> 2.11ß01 at March 22, 1994
▌ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ Beta now indicates "ßxx" behind the version number.
X Fixed "important" string in dutch language.
@ Changed security level for entry up to 65535 (RA)
(was 64000)
@ Changed inputlength of DVS-code to 4 characters.
(was 16)
+ Code entered by user is now configurable visable.
(default dots were shown)
+ Empty line input by user now configurable limmited.
(default was 10)
+ Posible to disable extended ASCII.
(default extended ascii was used. This option was requested
by Atari users)
NOTE! You need to run the config.
DVS_C reads older configs and adds the new features.
▌ UPDATES AND BUGFIXES 2.00 -> 2.10 at August 14, 1993
▌ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
@ Optimized the numbercheck routine.
@ Changed the origin line in netmail message while in testing mode.
X Removed beep in case of illegal character input by user.
@ Changed "cps" in "bps" in netmail message. (little difference)
@ Shortened delay between the lines shown to user.
+ Added some popup windows to inform the sysop about the status
of the dialing process
NOTE! There is no need for 2.0 users to run the config.
▌ UPDATES AND BUGFIXES 1.20 -> 2.00 at April 18, 1993
▌ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
X Removed the "Age" from the Netmail because both SBBS and RA1.xx
dodn't write the age to the exitinfo.bbs the first time a user
logs in.
! Fixed a bug in the "asking code"-routine after the call-back.
When there is no response to the question "Enter DVS-Code" after
one minute or when the user strikes <enter>, DVS will ask the
same question again to be sure the user gets it. Now, after 10
times DVS will terminate it's session with a failure-message.
+ Modem-reports are now logged between more attempts of dialing
also.
+ Added the "/D" parameter at the commandline for the DUTCH
language. ("At last...." many of you will say)
@ Changed the password-question into a DVS-CODE.
This is more accurate than the password.
(and solved the problem of CRC-32 check with RA 2.0 :-) )
This routine is needed because of some friendly fakers who
are entering other BBS-phonenumbers.
+ Added routines for dealing with EXITINFO.BBS and USERS.BBS
of RA 2.0 . (the major update of this version)
Be sure you configure the system right because there is NO
check at runtime!
! Fixed a bug in scanning phone-numbers.
Now it's not longer possible for anyone to use strange characters
in his/her number. This also speeded up the scanning a little.
▌ UPDATES AND BUGFIXES 1.10 -> 1.20 at January 30, 1993
▌ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ Added the /1...9 parameter for DVS.EXE
Used as <1/10sec> pause between characters in init- and dial-string.
ea.: DVS.EXE /8 will use 8/10sec pause.
Default 2 should be okay.
+ Added the NetMail function to inform Sysop or Co-Sysop of DVS
activities. See the doc-file for note on the "age-bug".
+ Made the local mode "registered" so sysop can see the difference.
Can be disabled with the /T - parameter.
+ Made the <wait-enter> valid at returning to BBS as well.
+ Added the limit of 5 times "NO DIALTONE" and then exit DVS.
+ Added the Cleaning function with the /L - parameter.
No level-handling is done.
+ Added the REDIAL function. More tries in one session.
+ Wrong passwords are reported in the logfile.
+ Added statement "Determing distance of your number" to the user-
screen after selecting a number.
@ Adjusted RING-detection so the RINGING of the ZyXel-modems is
treated seperately.
! Fixed a bug in the flag-check routine.
+ Set the minimum length of an international number to 8. Shorter
numbers are rejected as international.
▌ UPDATES AND BUGFIXES 1.02 -> 1.10 at December 25, 1992
▌ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
@ Made the "wait-for-carrier" time configurable.
! Fixed the problem with an empty number. It will now be stopped
before dialing.
@ Changed the use of "dial-suffix". Now it is the hang-up string,
used in case the normal "lower-DTR" does not work.
+ Made it possible to exclude a number from the history-check.
The sysop can edit the file with a normal ascii-editor and change
the counter after the number to "00". In this case no check will
take place for that number.
+ Added "BUSY", "VOICE" and "NO DIALTONE" detection.
Now DVS won't wait the full time out for a carrier.
+ Added "RING"-detection.
Now while initializing the modem and short after that, DVS can
detect a RING and will toggle the hook. (sequential ATH1 and
ATH0). The only weak point I can not prevent is when the dial-
string is sent to the modem and at that same moment the phone rings.
@ Extended Timing.
Now the config has been extended with more time-options. Even
International calls are treated seperately.
@ Extended Level and Flags.
In order to make DVS "just what the sysop wants", there are now
two AFTERLEVELS and two sets of AFTERFLAGS. One for RESUMED
calls, when the user may stay online on sysop's expence and one
for NO RESUMED calls, when the user has to login again himself.
+ Added informationline.
When dialing, DVS will show who it is calling.
▌ UPDATES AND BUGFIXES 1.01 -> 1.02 at November 25, 1992
▌ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
! Fixed a bug with sharing-violation on the userbase.
Now DVS works fine in multi-line environment as well.
(Thank you Jos Bergman for your report and testing)
@ Alternative method to hang-up modem added.
Some systems have problem with hanging up the modem with the
standard lower-DTR function. Therefore it is now possible to
insert "~" characters in the init-string for one second pause.
In combination with the modem-escape-sequence you are able to get
into the required command mode of your modem.
Example: ~+++~~~ATZ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
@ Re-written the com-routines for cosmetic purposes.
! Fixed a bug in the time-limit.
Now when you configure that a user should get 20 minutes to look
around he does get 20 minutes instead of 20 - (minutes online) as
it happend before this fix.
@ Adjusted wait-for-carrier.
Version 1.01 did wait 1 minute for a carrier (hardware).
Now a period of 1.5 minute should reduce the failures occured by
time-out.
▌ UPDATES AND BUGFIXES 1.00 -> 1.01 at november 11, 1992
▌ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
@ Entering paths in the config is made easier.
Now a backslash will be added to paths pointing to directories.
! Fixed a bug in editing com-ports in the config with 1-8.
! Fixed a bug in local test-mode.
Now a connect will be simulated correctly instead of reporting a
"! Connect failed".
@ Updated the password routine.
Now an empty password will not be treated as wrong entrance
anymore. The question will be shown to the user again.
