o Recompile with latest communications library.
07-14-91 Version 3.4
o This version moves away from the incrypted registration file
by moving the registration number into the configuration file.
A program for determining your current registration number is
included. This move helps RNBB to be able to take on-line
registrations.
06-18-91 Version 3.3
o Corrected problem where if a "hacker" would enter negative
times in the bank he would get all the time they wanted.
o Corrected problem with Spitfire time routines. Spitfire was
allways subtracting the amount of time online from the time
left that day every time the LOTTO door was entered.
o For Your Information - LOTTO 4.0 is in the works (Being
transferred to Borland C++. Look for it soon!
01-05-90 Version 3.2a
o Added support for Spitfire Users. This group of dedicated
individuals were left out before....But No More!
12-30-90 Version 3.1a
o Corrected a couple of problems with screen mis-management.
o Corrected bug where user could use ALL their time and then
be returned to the board with full time. This now stops any
user at one minute and does not let them proceed. If the
user times out then the users new time is written back to the
file so the time is corrected for.
12-22-90 Version 3.0
o IMPORTANT * This version requires you create a new Lotto.CNF
(Configuration file). Be sure to read the documents on setting
up lotto.
o MORE IMPORTANT * If you have already registered Lotto, You can
use your registration for this version also. No upgrades needed.
If your registering for the first time, DO NOT SEND IN AN OLD
REGISTRATION, IT WILL NOT BE HONORED!
o This a a whole new reworked version of Instant Lotto. This version
incorporates all new comm routines using Ted Freeman's renouned
DoorFrame Ver/ 1.8
o Totally new graphics routines. Users can use either color or mono
Lotto will instantly decide which to show the user. So no longer
are users required to use color to use Lotto.
o Lotto now supports ALL TYPE OF BBS's. Instant Lotto was originally
created for PCBoard specifically, But now supports all BBS's that
use the Users.sys (PCB), Door.sys (All), Dorinfox.def (RBBS), or
CallInfo.BBS (WildCat). No more Discrimination!
04-01-90 Version 2.1
o Added time calculation to return user back to board from Lotto
menu when less than 1 min remains.
o Corrected problem in ticket buying logic. User could attempt to
buy tickets past the amount of time he had, If he won he would
continue, if he lost he would be return back to the main board
with full time..If you still notice problems with this please
let me know.
03-20-90 Version 2.0 (RELEASE)
o Finally after all the beta testing, This is Release Version
2.0 ...!!!
o Spruced up the screens some. Graphic writes are a little faster
than in 1.4
o As asked for by several users, I have added a graphics version
of the score file for viewing as a BLT. (LOTTOG.SCR)
02-24-90 Version Beta 1.4
o Corrected problem concerning Bank Files and bad records (Caused
Lotto to lock up the board)
o Screen writes are now quicker. Lotto no longer ALWAYS erases the
entire screen for screen writes.
o New smaller opening screen displayed to speed things up for 1200
baud users.
02-05-90
The following Items have been added to Lotto. This is for Version 1.3
o Added capability for SYSOP to set the Odds
o Added Sysop control over ticket cost
o Added ability to have jackpot get ticketcost or 1 min each time
o Added Menuing system to Lotto
o Added new score keeping records
o You can now copy over Lotto.scr to create a BLT
o Corrected the problem where lotto would return you with a Yellow
screen, Even if you were not in graphics color mode

or subtract time from user.

I think thats all for now, To take care of the new items be sure to read the
Lotto.doc file for setting up the new Configuration File.
