History File For Alley-Wall -- ALLEY-WALL (c) David Pabst 1990-1992
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Version 2.01 & 2.02 - August 1992
- AWSETUP.EXE has some new safety features so Alley-Wall will run the
first time it is run.
- Alley-Wall wouldn't run, because of a bug in AWSETUP.EXE. That's
fixed now! New Setup Version: 1.6
- AWBDUSER.EXE had a bug, when you tried to view the AWBDUSER.LST and
it didn't exist; AWBDUSER would crash.
- My name came up every time as the username, this is now remedied.

Version 2.0 - July 1992
- Alley-Wall now keeps a file on people who have used Alley-Wall, this
list is PEOPLEON.LST; If they are not on this list, Alley-Wall displays
a "features" list.
- Setup program has UPGRADE.EXE included in it in case something happens
to UPGRADE.EXE.
- New feature for easy upgrades; by typing UPGRADE at the DOS prompt
you will automatically upgrade your 1.5x\1.6x configuration file
to version 2.0. (You must have a 1.5 or 1.6 config file)
- If you are in non-graphics mode (ASCII) and you try to view the SYSOP
bulletin (See who did it file) you will receive a message stating that
you cannot view it in your current mode.
- The sysop command for deleting the Sysop File, a.k.a Delete"See Who Posted
What File" was removed. Now, when you delete the bulletin files, (K
command) it will delete the sysop bulletin as well.
- Alley-Wall now can be set to only allow a certain number of bulletins
in it at one time. For instance, if you set it to 25, and the 26th is
entered; the oldest entry would be dropped.
- New bulletin entries can be placed at the beginning of the "Alley-Wall"
or you can still have new entries appended to the end of the wall.
- Alley-Wall Bad User Utility (AWBDUSER) now can display AWBUM which is
displayed when someone in the bad user list logs on. If that file
is missing it just displays the one-line message in the config file.
- Colors can be used in bulletins.
- Alley-Wall will strip blank spaces from bulletins, thus saving space
- Rewrote lots of the visual text in information, et cetera.
- In "see who wrote what" file it now posts the time and date of the post
in the colored seperation bar.
- Alley-Wall now stamps the time and date on to the bulletin when it is
reset or Alley-Wall is used for the first time. It also stamps
which way Alley-Wall is configured to append new entries on to the
bulletins. (New on top, or New on Bottom (New on bottom is what all
the previous versions were)).
- New registration system, sorry about all the changes; this will be the
last registration system change.
- The whole bulletin entry system is totally rewritten. For ASCII users
it's basically the same, but for ANSI users... it's MUCH different.
- "Display configuration File" command now shows the users who have
access to the system operator commands, sort which way, and max number
of entries in bulletins.
- More code optimization; Alley-Wall was originally produced when I was
learning how to program in Pascal. Now that I am fluent in Pascal,
it helps to optimize the program for speed, and it makes it easier for
me to upgrade Alley-Wall at a later time.
- Alley-Wall Setup has been upgraded. Current version: 1.5.
- In Alley-Wall Setup: "Changes and Upgrades" is a new feature that
displays this file with a multi-directional scroll. New option
added for whether you want new entries appended to the top or the
end of the Alley-Wall.
- In Alley-Wall Setup: A new editor prompt that keeps from exceeding its
boundries.
- In Alley-Wall Setup: Online help has been included as well as *MANY*
small changes not worth mentioning.
- Alley-Wall bad user utility upgraded. Current Version: 2.5.
- In Alley-Wall Bad User (AWBDUSER): Now checks to make sure a name
was entered, multi-directional listing of AWBDUSER.lST, *MUCH* better
interface, and the entry prompt now keeps you within the prompt.
- In Alley-Wall Setup: Help added! 3 pages of help are now available
within the setup program itself. Press H or F1.
