-=-=- Version 1.43 -=-=-
Finally located and fixed compatibility problem with WWIV 4.21
Fixed problem with Long-Distance Calling Windows.
-=-=- Version 1.42 -=-=-
286 version is no more. CBV is once again compiled using version
5.5 of Turbo Pascal, version 6.0 had to many bugs.
CBV421.MOD is no longer needed, remove the mod if used.
Added ability to lockout specific areacode-prefix combinations.
Upgraded to dOOrLib 1.22 which will adapt to varying screen sizes.
-=-=- Version 1.41 -=-=-
Change LD call-back options to allow or disallow either local area
code call-backs and out of area code callbacks.
Included CBVMENU.MOD file that shows how to install CBV as a main
menu option.
Included CBV421.MOD file that shows how to modify WWIV 4.21 to work
correctly with CBV.
286 version of the CBV.EXE file included for REGISTERED users.
-=-=- Version 1.40 -=-=-
Total rewrite of CBV and CBVCFG.
Added support for multiple area codes.
Added support for special Long-Distance access codes.
Added increased modem support. CBV will work faster provided the
modem is instructed to report in verbose mode.
Added more color.
Added five new message files for increased user information.
All new documentation.
-=-=- Version 1.38 -=-=-
Minor bug fixes.
Reworking of some modem handling routines.
-=-=- Version 1.37 -=-=-
Changed CBV so that it will look for the verbose response of
CONNECT or carrier detect. This was done to speed up CBVs response
to failed calls. The modem does not have to respond with verbose
descriptions, but it does help.
Some cosmetic changes.
-=-=- Version 1.36 -=-=-
Never released to public.
Fixed yet another incompatibility with WWIV version 4.20E.
-=-=- Version 1.35 -=-=-
Fixed a problem where CBV could not correctly change the user's SL
in WWIV 4.20E because Mr. Bell changed the format of the file
RESTORE.WWV AGAIN!
-=-=- Version 1.34 -=-=-
Upgraded to dOOrlib 1.1, which has adaptive communication routines,
which means that it will auto-sense what the comm speed is.
Additions made to CBVTRASH.TXT are formatted better for clarity.
-=-=- Version 1.33 -=-=-
When CBV auto-updates the CBVTRASH.DAT file the date and time is
placed on the line as well.
Fixed a small problem in the routine to send commands to the modem.
-=-=- Version 1.32 -=-=-
Added support for the changing of the user's exemptions.
-=-=- Version 1.31 -=-=-
Fixed minor bug where if user entered invalid number and asked
if they wanted to try again the program would wait for two
responses.
Added the ability to put comments into the CBVTRASH.DAT file, comments
must begin with a ';' (the semicolon). CBV will now add the ';' into
the trash file (if the option for auto-update trash is turned on) plus
the user's alias will follow the ';'
-=-=- Version 1.30 -=-=-
Added ability to change user's ARs, DARs, and their restrictions.
Rewrote the CBVCFG program completely, hence its much bigger.
Fixed problem where SysOp log was not being correctly closed thereby
allowing WWIV to overwrite some of the CBV information.
-=-=- Version 1.21 -=-=-
Some cosmetic fixups done. (including delays before dropping
carrier so that whole message gets out on buffered modems)
Added Long-Distanse SL and DSL for those sysops who want give
long-distance validated callers more privledges.
-=-=- Version 1.20 -=-=-
Rewrote entire program. (reduced code in some areas)
Added support for WWIV version 4.20 (a change in 4.20 caused the
recently validated user to not have the access they wanted, this
was because WWIV kept track of the users old SL in the variable
ACTSL, and does not recheck THISUSER.SL upon reloading from shrink)
Beefed up the error checking, CBV should now abort back to DOS
without any real trouble now.
Change config file name from CBV.DAT to CBV.DTA
Converted the CBV.DTA file from ASCII to BINARY.
Added a new program CBVCFG.EXE to allow manipulation of CBV.DTA file.
*** PRIOR VERSIONS CBV.DTA FILES CANNOT BE USED ANYMORE ***
-=-=- Version 1.12 -=-=-
Fix problem where callers were long distance but had same area code,
CBV would not make a long distance in area code call-back.
-=-=- Version 1.11 -=-=-
Added the ability to make long-distance verifications.
Added a routine to display the current CBV.DAT file upon entering the
door, it will pause about 2.5 seconds before continuing.
-=-=- Version 1.10 -=-=-
Never released to public.
Major changes, all new configuration file format.
Can update user's note field with number used in callback.
Can make numerous attempts to call user back.
Can now make use of a 'hangup' command, for modems incapable of
direct DTR control.
*** PRIOR VERSIONS CBV.DAT FILES CANNOT BE USED ANYMORE ***
-=-=- Version 1.01 -=-=-
Corrected error when attempting to use communication ports other
than COM1 or COM2
Increased time between hangup and dialback functions. This was done
to provide inexperienced users more time to get ready for CBV to call
them back.
-=-=- Version 1.00c -=-=-
