[v1.7] Reported "OVERFLOW" error in CLPURGE. Seems as though
there was some null records in the CLASSIFY.DAT file.
I added some code to check for this and mark it as
being deleted. Not sure where or how it came to be, but
I will be doing some ongoing testing.
CLEXCH was exporting null records instead of records that
reflected the database. Therefore the file size looked as
though it was correct, when in fact it was not.
Fixed some screen display problems in CLEXCH.
Screen should now restore after CHAT is engaged.

[v1.6] Well, v1.5 slipped out with a bug in it so we are forced
come out with 1.6...
If security levels for DELETE and MODIFY, as defined in
the configrations file, were lower than the caller's
security level, the callers were denied access to those
functions. It would only work if you were the Sysop or if
you left it at 0 in the configuration file.
09/01/92
[v1.5] A reported problem relating to Sysop not being able to
access the MODIFY, ADD, DELETE functions if the config
file contained a security value other than 0 for those
options.
Made some changes to reduce the delay present when
displaying the opening screen. This change will affect
registered versions. Non-registered will still have a
slight delay.
File structure changes made to CLPURGE to correct the
Error 62 problems.
In the unregistered version the Sysop was not able to
change the security levels for the ADD/MODEIFY/DELETE
options. This was an oversight on my part as I left code
in the program while testing.
With this version your callers can now leave and receive
messages, independant of the BBS software message base.
CLASSIFY now has its own message database. Callers are
notified of any pending messages when they open the door
or they can choose option #7 from the main menu and then
option #1 from the Message Center menu to check for mail.
They can also reply to any messages they read. This also
---> requires an ADDITION to the CFG file to control the minimum
security level that can access the message base.
With this version the ADOPT-A-DOOR option, as well as the
recognition of anyone that has helped register the Door has
been removed. This was required to make room for the code
necessary to implement the new message capability.
A new option has been added as part of the MODIFY command to
change the Category of the ad being modified. Available only
as a sub-option of the MODIFY command.
---> YOU MUST DELETE LINE #6 FROM YOUR CONFIGURATION FILE!!!!!!!
(THE LINE FOLLOWING THE REGISTRATION NUMBER)
Changed CLPURGE to pack the Message database. It will purge
all deleted messages found.
08/09/92
[v1.4] If you were trying to turn off the ADOPT-A-DOOR option
thru the configuration file, it was not working. I was
forcing it on in unregistered versions. Fixed!
The Short display was showing the cost of an item, even if
the category was setup to not show the cost field. It was
picking up the cost from a prior record.
You now have a choice as to whether you want the dates in
the American (MMDDYY) or European (DDMMYY) format. This is
configurable in the CFG file.
Expanded the number of categories to 34.
Changed the message presented to a user that did not seem to
have ANSI loaded. The old message referred to CLASSIFY as a
game, the new message refers to it as a Door.
With this version of Classified Ads we are making available
the ability for you to setup a network of BBS' to share or
exchange Classified Ads databases. You will have to run a
conversion program and make a change to your CFG file to
choose whether you want to display the name of the BBS that
the Ad was originated on.
Note: To import/export the databases requires an optional
program, called CLEXCH and requires a separate
registration.
Added several options to the Configuration file related to
the Database Exchange feature. You must make the changes
regardless of whether you will be using the Exchange feature.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| You MUST run the conversion program, called CLCONVRT |
| regardless of whether you will be using the Exchange feature. |
| To execute the conversion program, enter the following after |
| changing to the directory containing the CLASSIFY database: |
| |
| CLCONVRT CLASSIFY.CFG |
| |
| If you use a different name for the CFG file, substitute that |
| name for CLASSIFY.CFG. |
| |
| THIS CONVERSION PROGRAM IS TO BE RUN ONLY ONCE! |
| |
| BACKUP CLASSIFY.DAT and CLASSIFY.INX first !!!!!!!!!!! |
| |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The DELETE option will now display all ads entered by the
caller (or ALL if Sysop is logged on) in the short format and
allow caller/Sysop to pick the one they want to DELETE. It will
then display the ad in deltail and ask if you wish to delete
it and then ask a second time to avoid problems.
The MODIFY option will now display all ads entered by the
caller (or ALL if Sysop is logged on) in the short format and
allow caller/Sysop to pick the one they wish to MODIFY. The ad
is then displayed for modification.
When MODIFYing the (L)ong Descriptions the program would not
accept a 2 digit line number. Therefore if you tried to Modify
Long Description line 10 it would place you on line 1.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Expanded the Category file to include another field. This |
| will allow you to set a security level for each category. If |
| the caller's security level is less than this security level, |
| they will NOT be able to enter or view an ad in that category.|
| A category security level of 0 allows anyone to have access. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
If the program finds a file called WELCOME, it will display
that file after the opening screen and before the main menu
screens. WELCOME must reside in the same directory as
CLASSIFY.EXE
If the program finds a file called GOODBYE, it will display
that file when the caller exits the program. It will display
prior to displaying the file called ADOPT.SYS (if you have
created it). GOODBYE must reside in the same directory as
CLASSIFY.EXE
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Added 3 options to the Configuration file to give Sysop |
| control over which Logon Security Levels can access the |
| Add, Delete and Modify options. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Added another option to display the Categories from the
Main Menu.
06/18/92
[v1.3] There has been a number of requests (more like pleas <g>)
that I do something about the display and acceptance of the
date entered when the caller is in the Display option. I
do hope that this meets with everyones acceptance.
06/14/92
[v1.2] CLPURGE would not recognize a registered copy of CLASSIFY
if you were running GT Power and pointing to GTUSER.BBS on
the first line of the config. New CLPURGE.EXE enclosed.
05/31/92
[v1.1] In unregistered version, the program would not allow the
user to enter a cost amount and would show the Want Ad
category as deleting messages after 0 days.
Added a word-wrap routine to the program. It will be in
effect when a caller is entering the Long Description. It
will not be in effect when you are modifying a single line
in the Long Description nor for any other input area.
The text in the Long Description will no longer be converted
to upper case. It will remain as the User inputted it.
05/22/92
[v1.0] Initial release
