Dynamic Verification System revision history
REGISTERED DVS USERS: Please call Discovery BBS and load the
KEYDOOR door program (Type KEYDOOR at main menu) to have a personalized
DVS.KEY file made for you. This is an encrypted file that contains
your registration information and is NEEDED for registered operation
of DVS 1.0b3 and above.
01/12/92: Released as DVS10B4.ZIP, Beta 4
- If a user entered 0 when at the Optional registration menu, DVS would
indicate that 'Script not available'. Fixed.
- Added another configuration file, 'MODEM.CFG', which now contains
more configuration settings including command to send the modem BEFORE
dial, dial string, command to send to modem AFTER session, and number
of dial attempts to make at the given number. The format is as follows:
MODEM.CFG
AT&M4 Command to send before dialing - Blank = send nothing
ATDT Dialing string - makes pulse ATDP possible
ATM0H1 Command to send after session (take the modem off hook)
2 Number of dial attempts to make before giving up
If this file does not exist, the defaults listed above will be used.
- Added a new script possiblity for when a new user first enters DVS.
If in REG.CFG a script's file name is listed as NEWREG.SCR, the user
will automatically be placed into that script when the enter the door.
For example, if REG.CFG contains the following:
3
Sysop Access
SYSOP.SCR
70
70
000000
Adult Section Access
ADULT.SCR
55
55
000000
New User Questionnaire <- Auto new user script
NEWREG.SCR
50
50
000000
The third script (NEWREG.SCR) will be activated. In this example, as soon
as a new user enteres DVS, they will be asked the questions in NEWREG.SCR,
and the access listed in REG.CFG will be granted after callback verification.
You could enter a low access level in DVS.CFG and a regular verified access
level in REG.CFG (for the new user script) in order allow a security upgrade
only after the user has filled out NEWREG.SCR in completion.
- DVS is nearing release completion. There will be one more planned
beta to test new DVSSETUP procedures. Please use the newest beta
and report any problems you encounter as soon as possible.

01/05/92: Released as DVS10B3.ZIP, Beta 3
- There was a problem in comparing time to determine if a number
was available at that time. The midnight rollover was confusing
the program and making any non-local number seem NOT AVAILABLE
under most circumstances. Fixed.
- Added KEY FILE support to registered DVS users, so they would not
have to call in and download a full copy of DVS when an upgrade
was released.

Discovery BBS: (714) 457-0359 - HST
01/01/92: Released as DVS10B2.ZIP, Beta 2
- Fixed a small problem in DVSSETUP that would create
bad CFG files if options were left blank.
- Added ability to 'ADD' a number of days to the expiration
date in both normal verification and optional registration.
The 'Expiration Date' entry in DVS.CFG and REG.CFG can now
contain '+xxx' where xxx is the amount of days to add to
the user's expiration date. For example, +30 would calculate
what the date would be 30 days from the time of verification
and make that date the user's expiration date.
- Added a new option in DVS.CFG line 4 (Highest security level)
to determine which security levels are allowed in the door.
This should normally be the level you give to your new users,
however unique configurations can be made with this option.
- Added external registration door support. To activate this,
create a batch 'EXTERNx.SYS' where x is the node number for
any particular node. (Single node systems should use
EXTERN1.SYS). When a user's number is not allowed at a particular
time, they are shown the EXREG text file, and EXTERNx.SYS is
renamed to EXTERNx.BAT and the door is terminated. To add
an external registration door here, your VERIFY batch file
to call dvs should look something like this:
(Node 1)
@ECHO OFF
G:
CD\PCB\DOORS\DVS
DVS DVS.CFG G:\PCB
IF EXIST EXTERN1.BAT EXTERN
G:
CD\PCB
BOARD
and EXTERN1.SYS might look like this:
@ECHO OFF
G:
CD\PCB\DOORS\INSTAREG
INSTAREG INSTAREG.CFG G:\PCB
REN EXTERN1.BAT EXTERN1.SYS
G:
CD\PCB
BOARD
This way, instead of a caller being told that they're number is
not allowed at this time, they will be told that they are going
to enter an external registration door (via EXREG text file),
EXTERN1.SYS is renamed to EXTERN1.BAT, and DVS is terminated.
The verify batch file notices that EXTERN1.BAT file exists, and
runs it (loading INSTAREG in this case). After INSTAREG is
finished, EXTERN1.BAT is renamed back to EXTERN1.SYS, and PCBoard
reloads.
- Updated DVSSETUP to reflect configuration file changes
- Worked on the documentation (New docs will be in the 1.0 release version)
