[v4.6] Removed the delay at start of game
Added support for PCBoard /M version.
03/12/93
[4.5] Now supports Comm Ports 0-15
Hall of Fame routine was working only partially. Correct
player was listed in HOF, but with a blank score.
If no one played the door or if the highest score obtained
during the month was zero, the game will NOT show a Hall of
Fame entry for the month.
Callers will be required to answer the "Want Instructions.."
question with a Y or N. This was required to circumvent a
problem encountered when running under WildCat's IM version.
Hall of Fame display was always displaying in color, regardless
of the color setting of the current session.
12/24/92
[v4.4] BRUN45.EXE is no longer required!
Added support Fossil-based Multi-Port cards!
New Configuration option to allow Sysop to choose whether
they want the computer to allocate 99 games to them or if
they just want to be like any other caller.
Corrected an alignment problem with the SUNHOF.ASC/ANS files.
All entries, from this point on, will be aligned properly.
You will have to manually align the existing entries (after
the next monthly maintenance run).
The Hall of Fame list will now be displayed to the player
after the High Scores (if the SUNHOF.ANS is found and the
Door is registered)
10/14/92
[v4.3] Added support for TRIBBS software. We now access the
TRIBBS.SYS system file directly!
After a CHAT or DROP-TO-DOS the game screen will now be
restored to its original state.
A bug has existed in the monthly Hall of Fame routines
whereby the wrong player may have been credited with being
the high scorer for a particular month.
Unable to turn off the ADOPT-A-DOOR screen thru the
configuration file. Fixed!
06/07/92
[V4.2] Sorry for the rash of updates, but had to fix these bugs!!
When quiting the game before completing a game, the Hiscores
would not display. Only showed the heading!
Was not displaying the correct number of games the caller
was allowed to play.
06/05/92
[v4.1] When changing to the internal method of creating the Hall of
Fame files (SUNHOF.ASC/.ANS), I neglected to provide a way
for you to copy them to a bulletin of your own name/location.
With this version I have added 2 entries to the CFG file that
allows you to define the Drive\Path\Filenames for these files.
>>>>>>>>>> NOTE: You MUST discontinue use of SUNHOF.EXE for this DOOR!!!!
06/04/92
[v4.0] Major revision, therefore the version number jump!!
Added a MAKE-UP-PLAYS feature that allows the caller to makeup
game plays they may have missed during the current month. This
will afford those callers that do not call every day, an equal
chance to compete with callers that play every day.
Config file lines 6 and 7 have changed!!!!!!!
Be sure to read Documentation!!!
Automatic game reset will take place when the first caller of
the month plays the game. Two Hall of Fame bulletin files will
be created (SUNHOF.ANS and SUNHOF.ASC) and all scores cleared.
Be sure to read the Documentation!!!
You can now use an environmental variable for Non-Standard
IRQs. This will eliminate the need to have multiple batch
files to execute the door. See DOCs under NON-STANDARD COM
SUPPORT for details.
You can now use environmental variables, on the first line
of the configuration file. This will eliminate the requirement
that you create an individual configuration file for each node
in a multinode environment (ONE config file for ALL nodes!!).
See DOCs under MULTI-NODE SETUP for details.
Made some changes to fix the TIMEOUT errors encountered
when usinga 486 with/without DesqView. Need feedback !!
Made some changes to correct the Error #6 (Overflow Error)
when using SpitFire version 3.2/SFDOORS.DAT. I need some
feedback on this one as well!
Added support for GT Power's GTUSER.BBS file. To use this
you will be required to add to lines to your configuration
files. Please see Docs for changes. Need some feedback on
this as well!
Removed the hard-coded values assigned to each type of hand
you could create and placed those values in the config file
thus allowing you to assign your own values. See Docs!!!
This will require a change to your Config File!!
03/16/92
[v3.0] Reported Error #5 when total points exceed 9,999.
Increased maximum total points to 999,999.
When trying to backspace over characters you entered, while
logged on LOCALLY, the system would lock up.
12/29/91

to be used. Allows for 5 Blackout periods. This requires
a configuration file change. SEE DOCS for DETAILS!

[v2.8] Added an option to control the number of plays per day,
based upon the user's security level. This requires a
configuration file change. SEE DOCS for DETAILS!

the game. Registered version ONLY!

03/24/91
[v2.0] When presented with the "Press ENTER or E to exit" message,
pressing E caused another "Press ENTER to COntinue" to

When using DORINFOx.DEF, the door would stop at the start
of the game and require a key press to continue.
