══════ PCBTIC 1.00 ═════════════════════════════════════ Version History ══════
Please note that we are nearing version 1.00. Send us any suggestions you
may have, so that they can be included in version 1.00.
v0.98
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Included CRCFIX.EXE to update │
│ the CRC files to the new format. │
│ │
│ Run this program if you are upgrading │
│ from a previous version of PCBTIC. │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
· Found a bug which would halt the program. This bug was evident when a
FIXFILE.BAT file did not exist in the program directory. Fixed.
- Thank you, George Silberstern (1:273/214).
· Found a file which was being left open in read mode.
· Now logs the import time/date in the CRC file.
· Added support for SQZ archived files.
· Added ability to set outbound file status to HOLD or CRASH.
· The non-registered version now has ALL functions enabled for three areas,
in order to allow for a proper evaluation.
· Fixed a minor error with the kludge lines for FrontDoor MSG files.
· Added support for the ^aFMPT kludge line. (I love Fido! I have to keep
reminding myself.)
· Optimized the code for reading, reformatting, and writing the file
description.
· Changed the format of the PCBTIC.RPT file. The file should be easier to
read.
· Simplified configuration even more! MAILER directive no longer needed.
PCBTIC will look at the CONFIG directory to determine the mailer type.
· Added a display of which outbound node is being processed.
· Now PCBTIC creates the following FrontDoor semaphore files:
FDRESCAN.NOW & FDNOEXIT.NOW
· Now checks the seen-by lines in the TIC file, and will not echo files if
the address already exists.
v0.97 921229 23:30 * RELEASED *
· A testing statement was inadvertantly left-in the previous compilation.
It would cause PCBTIC not to find the CFG file. This has been fixed in
the maintenance release. Thank goodness nobody actually downloaded it.
v0.97 921228 12:00 * RELEASED *
· Changed delimiters for TIME directive from a semi-colon to a comma.
· Added support for BinkleyTerm (including the three inbound directories).
v0.96 921225 12:00 * RELEASED * * HAPPY HOLIDAYS *
· Added support for PASSTHRU areas.
· Changing screen output slightly. Removing some of the duplicate DEBUG
information.
· Added the ability NOT to send .TIC files for echoed files (NOTIC).
· Fixed a bug by which a file description might get garbled.
· We had one report of the program crashing. I believe that the garbled
description caused this. (I was modifying a non-initialized variable.
This is a no no.)
· Added the TIME directive to properly calculate UTC (GMT) for outbound
files.
· Registration fees have been modified. Thanks for the feedback!
v0.95 921130 15:10 * RELEASED *
· Will now use the description located in the FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI file,
if available. Screen saving/restoring procedures were tested on CGA, EGA
& VGA monitors; it should work with mono monitors, too.
v0.94 * NOT RELEASED *
· Interim FILE_ID.DIZ version.
v0.93 921122 11:53 * RELEASED *
· Had to adjust CRC routines because of a bug in TICK 2.10 which sometimes
only reports a 28-bit CRC rather than 32-bits.
· Added `/CORRUPT' command line parameter. See DOCs.
· Minor error closing report file. Fixed.
v0.92 921122 22:12 * RELEASED *
· Fixed the CRC calculation routines.
· Other minor adjustment of code done.
· I'm getting out of release numbers. I'll have to finish soon. :)
v0.91 921122 * NOT RELEASED *
· When a file was being moved, the description was entered first, then the
file was moved. If the file already exists in the destination, then the
move was aborted properly, but the new description was entered. Fixed.
· Added file CRC verification routines.
v0.90 921120 11:55 * RELEASED *
· Minor bug when moving files. Fixed.
v0.89 * NOT RELEASED *
· Added KEY file support.
· Handles an unlimited number of areas, FROM, and TO addresses. This is
limited only by memory, and the key file.
· Descriptions for .BAD files were being added to the report. This has
been fixed.
· Modified the report file, to include the AREA name, and the REPLACES
file, if applicable.
· PCBTIC now reads your SETUP.FD (FrontDoor setup) file in to get the
location of the INBOUND, OUTBOUND, and NETMAIL paths. This shortens the
CFG file.
· Added a CFG directive which indicates the type of Mailer you are using.
v0.88 * NOT RELEASED *
· Restructuring of code.
v0.87 * NOT RELEASED *
· Rewrite to allow unlimited areas.
v0.86 * NOT RELEASED *
· Fixed a bug in the filename displaying procedures. Used by DEBUG.
· PCBTIC now allows multiple FROM addresses (and passwords)
· Now properly handles points as destinations.
v0.85 * NOT RELEASED *
· Fixed a bug whereby an echoed file was moved to outbound directory, but
was truncated after 4K.
· Fixed a typo on the `Created by' line in outbound TIC files.
· Fixed this DOC file to indicate what errorlevels are used upon
termination of the program. REGISTERED version only.
· The registered version of PCBTIC will now log any errorlevel.
· No longer able to pres ^C during program delay.
· PCBTIC now allows multiple TO addresses (and passwords).
v0.84 * NOT RELEASED *
· First attempt at echoing files.
· Seems to be echoing files in areas where it is not supposed to. Will
have to investigate further.
v0.83 920929 23:15 * RELEASED *
· Fixed bug renaming TIC files to DUP and BAD extension.
v0.82 920924 00:33 * RELEASED *
· Now properly reads the TO addresses in the AREA declaration sections.
· Expected completion before year-end 1992.
v0.81 * NOT RELEASED *
· Have finally found a bug which would not let PCBTIC properly process a
large number of files; some files would remain open.
· Found and fixed one other instance of an output file not being closed
properly. I think that all files are now properly closed.
v0.80 920901 01:09 * RELEASED *
· Added debugging code to the program. Now logs which files were opened,
and in what mode as well as which files have been closed. This option is
enabled by typing DEBUG on the command line. More debugging information
will be added later.
· This version now creates a batch file calles AFTER.BAT with the following
command for each file imported: `CALL FIXFILE.BAT filename'. This will
enable you to process incoming files in any way you want, such as virus
checking, etc. * REGISTERED VERSION ONLY *
v0.79 * NOT RELEASED *
· Changed file opening and closing methods. This seems to have nuked an
unknown bug whereby the program could not find a CRC file.
v0.78 * NOT RELEASED *
· Now reports the size of undefined files (see v0.77).
· Now checks for enough room while moving file as well as before move.
· Made a minor change in date changing routines to increase speed.
· Changed delay to 15 seconds.
· Creates a .BAT file which contains the following command for each file
imported:
CALL FIXFILE.BAT filespec
v0.77 920820 12:33 * NOT RELEASED *
· Now properly reports TIC files which have areas not defined in CFG file.
Size of these files is not yet reported.
v0.76 920817 22:48 * RELEASED *
· Description would be messed-up if certain conditions were met. Fixed.
· Incoming description would be deleted if the replace file was the same as
the incoming file, and there was no description for the old file. Fixed.
· Fixed a minor error in the DOC file.
· Added 30 second delay for non-registered versions.
v0.75 920812 19:26 * RELEASED *
· Initial Release.
