HISTORY/UPDATE FILE FOR REAL-TIME CONNECT 4
===========================================
Version 1.7
-----------
(03-14-93)
Tweaked the ANSI detection routine some so hopefully those messages about
no ANSI detected when it is actually there will go away.
(02-09-93)
Finally got around to expanding the COM port range. COM 0 thru 15 is
now supported.
(01-07-93)
That old problem with the time expired when the Display was toggled off
in PCBoard popped up again! Fixed one more time (gotta quit changing things).
Version 1.6
-----------
(11-06-92)
Modified the Deferred section so the Saved Game file doesn't get deleted
until the loser logs on and is notified that he lost. Previously the file
was deleted whenever a player won, which could leave the loser wondering
what happened.
(11-01-92)
This Door now offers support for FOSSIL drivers! This new feature makes
it compatible with most multi-port boards. If you wish to use a Fossil driver,
rather than the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command line when
running the Door. For example: CONNECT4 CONNECT4.CNF /FD
Version 1.5
-----------
(10-10-92)
Whoops!! Screwed up the Computer player when making the last modifications
to the code. All fixed now.
Had reports of conflicts when using non-standard IRQ's on Novell/Netware
systems. Seems Novell also uses the / character on the command line so
something went screwy somewhere. So I added the * (asterisk) which may be
used instead of the / in case of a conflict. In other words, /%IRQ% and
*%IRQ% will both work and are interchangeable.
(09-30-92)
Added the option to abort while the 'Waiting on the other player' timer
is counting down.
(09-25-92)
It appears that different installations of PDS produces different versions
of the BRT71EFR.EXE run-time module which aren't compatible with each other.
Therefore, this Door is now compiled stand-alone. You no longer need to have
the run-time module for this Door.
(09-23-92)
Fixed a bug when restoring the screen after Chat or Drop to DOS. It would
generate an illegal function call whenever it hit a blinking character.
We now have support for the 30-something line DOOR.SYS file as well as
the 52-line one.
Corrected some errors in writing the SFDOORS.DAT file. Specifically the
COMPORT% and DAILY.BYTES.ALWD& variables.
(09-11-92)
Finally installed the screen restore when coming back from Chat or a Drop
to Dos. It will now put the screen back like it was including anything typed
at an input prompt. If you had entered anything before the interruption,
that is restored and you can pick up right where you left off!
Version 1.4
-----------
(09-04-92)
When you are prompted at the end of game if you want to play again, you
are now returned to the top menu instead of going directly into another
game. This allows you, for example, to play the computer first then switch
to online play for the next game without having to return to the BBS.
You should notice a marked improvement in speed while displaying boxes
and ANSI graphics.
(08-27-92)
This version is mainly a maintenance release to take advantage of new
features and bug fixes in the DoorFrame door utility library that is used
in compiling this door.
Version 1.3
-----------
Added direct support for the TriBBS software. TRIBBS.SYS is both read and
written.
Version 1.2
-----------
(05-25-92)
If you are running under Wildcat!, this door now returns an Error Level
of 1 when exiting and an Error Level of 62 for all other systems. Hopefully
some of you can utilize these Error Levels when returning to the BBS.
(05-15-92)
We now have support for GT Power systems. The .CNF file is a little
different for GT. The COM port goes on line 5 and the Node number goes on
line 6. If you are a registered user of Connect 4 then your registration
number goes on line 7.
Version 1.1
-----------
(04-18-92)
If you are using a non-standard IRQ, you may use an environment variable
instead of specifying the actual IRQ number. Syntax is:
CONNECT4 CONNECT4.CNF /%IRQ%
Version 1.0
-----------
(03-21-92)
Initial release.
