MaxiBank now stores the users privilege level in the bank files
Using this information, MaxiBank now will not let users
transfer time to other bank accounts that are FULL, will not
let users overfill others account, and now you cannot overfill
a bank account while in Editor mode.
I've included a little program (FIX_PRIV.EXE) that will scan
the bank data file for user names and then get the users'
privilege level from user.bbs. It may be a little slow to
execute if you have lots of bank accounts. Everytime a user
makes a deposit, withdrawal or transfer their privilege level
is updated, and all privilege levels in any old bank data file
are set at disgrace levels. You can run FIX_PRIV or not, it is
up to you. Type FIX_PRIV ? for more instructions. FIX_PRIV will
compare bank file names against both USER.BBS names and alias'
so it should work even if you are using ALIAS names.
payable Interest amounts can now be decimal numbers or fractions,
small numbers like 0.0274 (10/365 = 10% per YEAR) are just as valid
as 2% per day. If you do select a SMALL number then remember to also
raise the number of DaysOfInterest accordingly. If you are only paying
10% per Year then you could allow 365 DaysOfInterest.

MaxiBank can now sort a maximum of 2500 bank accounts. Previous
versions had a maximum number of 500. These new sort routines
can be accessed direct from the command line! A new parameter
`/S' (for sort) has been added. You can sort by DATE, NAME
or AMOUNT. Prefixing the option with a minus sign (-) will
sort in the reverse direction. Control returns to DOS after
the sort function finishes. the name of the MaxiBank data file
is obtained from MaxiBank.Cfg (as well as other important
information)
eg. Maxibank /sDATE ---- sort by date (oldest is first)
Maxibank /s-DATE ---- reverse sort (newest is first)
Maxibank /sNAME ---- sort alphabetically by lastname
Maxibank /sAmount ---- sort by amount (largest is first)
Maxibank /s-Amount ---- sort by amount (smallest is first)
these examples assume MaxiBank.Cfg in current directory.
if maxibank.cfg not in current directory then specify where with the
`/c<filename>' parameter.
eg. MaxiBank /cc:\max\maxibank.cfg /sDate
etc...
Note: this sort command line option is not mentioned in the HELP screen
or the MaxiBank.Doc text file :-)
other cosmetic enhancements, nothing major though.

Added two new command line options, the first allows you to specify
a MaxiLog option ovverride on the command line. `/L<filename>', where
`filename' is the logfile to be updated. The second command line
option is `/D#'. The `/D' means DELETE accounts older than `#' days.
`/D30' would delete inactive accounts older than 30 days. The Maximum
days to be deleted is 9999 days. Same as while in the online editor
PURGE function. The first new command line option must come before the
second if you want to specify a different logfile than any defined
in the Maxibank.Cfg. Control retruns to DOS after execution. Perfect
for routine maintenance in daily run batch files.
examples.
1. Maxibank /D30
delete accounts older than 30 days, report any deletions in any
logfile as declared in the default MaxiBank.Cfg. If none defined
then no record of the deletions will exist. Bank data file name
will be obtained from MaxiBank.Cfg.
2. Maxibank /LBank.Del /D30
delete accounts older than 30 days, use BANK.DEL as MaxiLog file to
record the deletions. MaxiBank.Cfg MaxiLog option is ignored and
Bank data file is obtained from MaxiBank.Cfg.

RAFware CBCSystem has shut down it's BBS, and no longer has any network
addresses.
Added a new feature. Users' can transfer time from their accounts to
any other users accounts. A maximum of 60 minutes per day can be
transfered by each user. This can be configured to a a value of
anything between 1 and 60 minutes. It can not be greater than 60.
Improved the logging function. Memory requirements may have increased.
March 5, 1992.
RAFware CBCSystem has a new address, 1:153/703 (also IMExnet 89:683/109)
Operating hours are from 6 p.m. till 8 a.m.
Here we go again, Maximus v2.01wb has been released, Scott Dudley has
'fixed' the time Online Today problem but his method was unexpected
and so MaxiBank is now broken again. There is a new .CFG option (another
KLUDGE) "Version Max2.01". This informs MaximBank to act is a special
way so as not too confuse Maximus. If you are using v2.01wb (and hopefully
all future versions of Maximus) include the line
Version Max2.01
somewhere in Maxibank.Cfg.
Also added another new .Cfg option, "MAXILOG Filename.Ext", this enables
a logging function. You can use a new command line option "/NL" to shut
off logging when running in local mode. The logfile can be pointed to
your Max.Log if desired. This may not be advisable on Multi-Node systems
with a common CBCS log file. Maxibank will Report who the user is, their
relevant information and any time/byte bank transfers.
see the sample MAXIBANK.CFG for more details on these new .CFG options
and for complete instructions on all .Cfg options.
If you have any problems you can Netmail me at my new location. Please
include an appropriate LOGFILE segment for debugging purposes. Good Luck.

Moved from Ottawa, Ontario to Vancouver, B.C.
I am no longer at address 1:163/126, and have not applied for
a new address. Not sure if I will be getting another address
or not. Time will tell.
Added support for users with hotkeys active. Previous versions of
MaxiBank always used hotkey interface, but now users without hotkeys
active will have to press return after making their selections. Lots
of non hotkey users where getting confused by the automatic hotkey
feature. Hotkeys are always active in editor mode.
Moved the sort function to the main editor menu, instead of it's
previous position in the E)dit menu.
Added a few more .CFG options.
MONO will shut off all ANSI colour.
Presently MaxiBank uses only seven ANSI colour codes. You can now
specify your own ANSI colour codes. At present if you specify a
different ANSI colour sequence for one of the defaults, then all
occurences of the old colour will be replaced with your choice.
If this causes weird effects, let me know, and I might be able to
expand the original 7 colour options to as many as are required.
