V1.00 Initial Release
V1.01 Upgrade Notes - Yep found a very slight bug... just knew there
would be one someplace. If the CFG file was set up with OTHER than
the word TRUST (for user updates) the program would NOT tell the
user that the door needed to be updated and to 'try again later'.
What it would do would be to let the user pick the prior weeks pool
over again!(if they chose too.... ). This has been corrected.( NOTE
that if you had the door configured for TRUST then there is no problem.)
If a user had decided to play last weeks pool again... all you have to
do is delete the users name from the WEEKx.DAT file and then perform
the update to the pool. There should be 2 entries for the same user
in the WEEKx.DAT file if this occurs. The USER CANNOT update the
pool......Whew.... hope this is the last little Gremlin!! Better be....
V1.02 Well almost... had a formatting problem in the bulletin section
and the display of the names could be offset. Corrected in this
version. 9/7/90
V1.50 - Added Support for DOOR.SYS . BBS's generating this file
may use the door with NO conversions needed !! (See Docs)
- Game may now be LOCKED and UNLOCKED on any day of the week.
- Made 'Sysop's Computer' Pool player optional in the CFG file
- Added the optional file TELLUSER.BBS which will display a
note from the SYSOP after the main FB POOL screen.
- Made door more 'generic' so it can easily be used for other
sporting events
- Upgraded Bulletin Generator changing graphic lines in the
bulletin display. The bulletin Generator will now show the
path to the bulletins and other notes during operation.
I hopefully eliminated some of the display problems
associated with SPITFIRE BBS systems.
- Upgrade FB-MAINT program. THIS PROGRAM MUST BE RUN ONCE A
DAY FOR CORRECT GAME OPERATION !! Also note that it is now
REQUIRED to have the CFG file on the command line !!!!!
- Added 'COMMENT' line in the CFG file so you may display
a short note to the users telling them what type of pool
is being run. This comment will also be displayed in the
Bulletin.
- Made CFG file more tolerant of additional accidental spaces
left on the end of each line.
V1.55 7/16/91
- Fixed Bug in DOOR.SYS routines that would incorrectly set
baud rate for MNP Callers.
- Added DEMO NFL.TXT file maker so the door can be tested
at any time during the year for ANY Team sport subject
to the limitations in the FB-DEMO.DOC file.
- When reviewing prior weeks pool information the display
will now tell you the present week you are in.
- File not found error would sometimes cause the game
to reset inadvertantly. This has been corrected.
- Improved some of the error catching routines in the
maintenance program.
- Door has been 'rock solid' !!! Yeeee ha !!
7/24/91
V1.55a - Found a bug within my DOOR.SYS routine that I had
corrected on my other doors BUT not this one!
( Doggone Murphy....). A slight correction fixed
the door routines.
8/6/92
V1.60 - Found bug with game printing to local screen when running
under certain Desqview configurations.
- Eliminated FB-DEMO NFL.TXT file maker.
- Enhanced program speed and interface
