Version 1.31 Update
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
********************************************************************
******* Please note if you are updating AMICON from version *******
******* 1.3 or below you must execute the file EXECUTE.ME *******
******* supplied with this archive. Or your users will *******
******* loose all their messages. *******
********************************************************************
SuperZmodem has been re-added to the available download protocols. You
must use version 1.40 or higher of the Superzmodem.library. It is included
in the 1.31 update archive.
35 new Eics have been added. Look at the EIC docs to see them all. There
should now be enough to keep everyone happy. Although there will be more
comming soon.
The BBS is now TRAPDOOR compatible. BUT the file needed to do this has
not been supplied in the archive. Mainly because it has not been fully
tested. It will be released in a later version.
The caller log is now an external door. YOU MUST put the file
displaylog.module in your assigned external directory. Or the display
caller log function will not work.
Short file listings are now available as an option to all users. Using
short file listings the user can get 23 files on a screen instead of the
previous 6. A new function has been added to allow the user to switch
between the two choices from a menu. It is function 27. A user may also
change his choice by editing his own account.
The stats that are displayed when a user logs in has now been removed.
The BBS now looks for a file called userstats.ans or .txt. The BBS will now
display this file to the user instead. If the file does not exist then the
BBS carries on. I've done it like this because there is now enough Eics
for you to pick from to allow you to design a GOOD stats screen. One word
of warning when designing the userstats file make sure you use DIRECT
CURSOR positioning for your text.
BUG FIXES
~~~~~~~~~
Not many bug fixes for this version for a change.
- Found bug in the way the BBS handles the user-list. Please read the
ULISTFIX.DOC for more info. Bug has not been fixed yet!
- Fixed a bug in the delete file routine. Seemed that when there was one
file left in the fileboards the BBS crashed after deleting it.
- Fixed a small bug in the AUTO SYSTEMDEFS.DAT startup. It failed to crate
a proper default systemdefs.dat causing the BBS to log people in at wrong
speeds.
- A small bug was found in the way the BBS marks each users file with their
message waiting lists. If a user had 20 or more chars in their name then
when the BBS appended their name with a .msgswaiting DOS did not like it.
The BBS now uses .msgs for this file. So a user can have the full 25 chars
in their name.
