Nothing new in Tourist! Just a recompile to take advantage
of the new GAPCDR.
This version will work with PCB systems with a version
number of 14.5 or greater. It will not work with prior
versions.
The reason for the "abrupt" change is that GAPCDR no longer
reads PCB's USER, PCBOARD.DAT, and PCBOARD.SYS files. It obtains
all of the information necessary to operate from DOOR.SYS (which
PCB now writes).

There are no new features in this release of Tourist. The only
thing that has changed is the GAPCDR door module which now
utilizes new com routines, and the method to invoke the door if
the BBS is a PCB system.
You need to add a 3rd line to the TOURIST.CNF file. If you are
running a GAP system, enter 0 on this line. If you are running
a PCB system, enter a 1 on this line.
The environment variable GAPCDR=PCB is no longer used. This
option is now specified on line 3 of the configuration file.
You will notice that although nothing was changed in the
Tourist code, the EXE size is substantially smaller. This is
because of the new com routines used in the GAPCDR door module.
Tourist will also now work at speeds of 38.4k baud. It will
also work with the FIFO buffer of the 16550 UART. However,
even though the GAPCDR com routines are capable of supporting
com ports to the limit of your computer, because PCB still
is limited to 2 ports, the GAPCDR module does not provide options
for specifying com port address. Guess we all have to wait until
PCB gets its act together!
