- QUICKHOST VERSION HISTORY
- -------------------------
-
- v1.00 - Initial release
-
- v2.00 - Did a complete re-write of the program! For a detailed list,
- see the documentation!
-
- v2.01 - Ooops! I discovered some minor errors in v2.00! These errors
- were cosmetic; v2.00 is quite safe to use! There were two errors.
- Firstly, I forgot to include the HELP.MSG file in with the archive and
- there was a typo in the version information screen (press V to view
- this screen). It said "Released June xx 1992" - it should have said
- "Released June 6th 1992". No big deal! I also changed some of the
- Sysop command keys around a bit. Read the docs for more info. The
- menus have been re-done and look a lot nicer! Some of the filenames
- have been changed. QHOST.USR has been changed to USER.LST and
- REMOTE.BAT has been renamed to DOOR.BAT. This seemed to make more
- sense to me!
-
- v2.10 - The message editor has been improved. Instead of being
- limited to 10 lines and having to press ENTER on the 10th line to save
- the message, you can enter up to 100 lines and press ENTER on a blank
- line to save your message. There is still no word wrap yet, but I am
- working on it. If anyone knows how this can be accomplished, or can
- provide information on how to write a better message editor, please
- let me know. The way QuickHost writes messages to the log file is now
- clearer and easier to read. Cosmetic work has been done to make it
- look nicer (such as the "Press F7 for Help" message on the status
- bar). A status bar bug has also been fixed. I have my Telix status
- bar set for a blue background and a yellow foreground, like
- QuickHost's status bar. I changed my Telix status bar to a red
- background with a yellow foreground and noticed that the QuickHost
- status bar did not write properly. When you toggle chat on or off,
- QuickHost will no longer re-display the main menu. This was a bit
- annoying because it would slow you down. Because of the way this has
- been done, it is recommended that you only toggle chat in the main
- menu. When you toggle chat on or off, QuickHost moves the cursor to
- the status bar, updates it and then goes back to row 23, column 10,
- because that is where the "Command: " prompt ends. Doing this in any
- other place will cause the cursor to move to row 23, col. 10, and
- thus mess up the display. THIS MINOR BUG WILL NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE OR
- CRASH THE SYSTEM. Please see the documentation for more information.
-
- v2.11 - There were some minor errors in the v2.10 distribution
- package. Two different mailing addresses were listed and there were
- some errors in various files. I apologize if this caused any
- inconvenience!
-
- v2.20 - The Sysop help menu can now be displayed anywhere within
- QuickHost without returning to the main menu. Chat can now toggled on
- or off from anywhere within QuickHost without making the cursor move
- in weird places. The blue "Thank you for using QuickHost" message
- have been removed because it was annoying. The user timeout feature
- has been removed because it would cause problems when QuickHost was
- performing certain tasks, like typing a file. Other minor bugs have
- been fixed and cosmetic work done.
-
- v3.00 - A new feature called "BANNER MODE" has been added. When
- turned on, QuickHost will display a message to the caller and then
- hang up without letting the user log into the host. This feature is
- useful if your BBS has gone down and you want to let your users know,
- but do not want them to log into your system. Sysop Page and Banner
- Mode can now be turned on or off in the configuration file. Lots of
- bugs have been fixed and some cosmetic work has been done.
