Suburban Software
Chuck Valecek
Version 8.07 04/15/93
* WARNING!!!!!
Due to many request from non-PCBoard sysops I have made a change to the
configuration file. There is now two (2) lines for the name of the bulletin,
and two (2) lines for the Points Bulletin if used.
The program CONVCFG.EXE will perform the conversions for you:
1) It will ask you if you want to convert the configuration file.
2) It will prompt you for names of the NON-COLOR and COLOR bulletins.
3) It will prompt you for the name of the Points NON-COLOR and COLOR
Bulletins (Is that COLOUR or COLOR?)
* Some of the systems run alias's and the last name field is blank. If the
last name is blank the DOOR will substitute the users first name.
* Found a little buggy in the KOBMTD.EXE. It would erase the SEX code for
the sysop when the file was recreated. The program will now ask you for the
names of the NON-COLOR and COLOR bulletins
* If the users name that entered the question is PREVIOUS RELEASE the door
will not show it on the screen
Version 8.06 03/09/93
* Nothing really changed in version. Some sysops are having problems with
the door detecting ANSI so I added a command line option to force ANSI on.
I am not sure what the real impact of this will be so you are on your own
Use a command line switch of /NA to force ansi on.
* The DOOR suports the PCBoard varibles PCBDRIVE and PCBDIR, use these for
substituting the drive and directory in the config file for path names;
Example: SET PCBDRIVE= D:
SET PCBDIR=\PCB2
Then the line %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS would be converted to
D:\PCB2\DOOR.SYS
with this option.
Fossil Driver Support
---------------------
KING supports the use of Fossil drivers. To tell the Door to use the Fossil
driver instead of the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command
line when running the door. For example:
KING KING.CFG /FD
indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used. If no Fossil
driver is detected, DoorFrame will print a message to that effect and exit
the door gracefully.
There is a slight problem with PCBoard and WildCat Fossil drivers, they
are being worked on. The BNU, X00 and Digi Fossil drivers work.
* Coming Soon! Working on a multiple catagory version, but it may take some
time.
Version 8.05 12/12/92
* Had some reports that when a new question is being entered by a player the
Door would hang the system. Tried to make some corrections in that area.
* Also had some reports that running under Desqview some Sysops are getting a
"File already open" error.
* Had one real strange situtation that the NEXTQUES.DAT file was never being
updated. Still havn't found anything that would cause that one.
* Removed the "Good Luck" screen to eliminate another user response
* Renamed KINGUTIL.EXE to KOBUTLxx.EXE so that I can add version numbers
There are still some options in KOBUTLxx that are disabled until I can get
the time to write the code for them.
Version 8.04 12/01/92
* Some screens were not be shown properly and some prompts where not working as
they should have.
* Corrected a problem with the Configuration option in KINGUTIL.
* Corrected the number of chnaces a users gets. Would not accept what you
entered in the config file
Version 8.03 11/27/92
* Based on a request from a Sysop I have created non-ascii screens.
The KOBG.DAT and QOBG.DAT file are the ASCII version and KOB.DAT & QOB.DAT
are the non ASCII screens.
* If a user comes in with graphics off (no color) the wrong Point Standing
file was displayed and the pyramid was displayed in color also and should
not have.
* The door still uses screen position codes, so some users may experience some
problems.
* Corrected a slight problem with the KINGUTIL.EXE file.
Would not display some of the configuration file options
______________________________________________________________________________
Version 8.2 11/23/92
Figures! Test a door for weeks on your system and finally when you release it
bugs pop up! Oh well!!
* If no KING.USR file existed, the door would always say the person playing
was in the first position.
* Recompiled door with Microsoft Basic 7.0
* Revised doc's to include non-standard IRQ and com ports
______________________________________________________________________________
Version 8.1 11/22/92
* Corrected a minor display problem. Displayed seconds instead of minutes for
time allowed to answer the question.
______________________________________________________________________________
Version 8.0 Initial Release
* Support for MOST major bramds of BBS Software.
This version is a complete rewrite of the 7.0 versions.
* I added some minor cosmetic changes but for the most part the door is the
same.
* Added an option that would allow the Sysop to show the player who entered
the question that is being displayed.
* Added better User file handling routines for multinode systems.
* New Utility program that is not compatable with previous versions.
* Utility will now Create/Edit the configuration file.
Some options have not been implemented yet, but will be soon.
