PCBPage History File
12/07/91 PCBPage 3.1 Official Release
Found one small bug with the ALWAYS file. It didn't work when
the timeslot in the .CNF file had an "A". Fixed.
Added support for PCBoard's '%Filespec' option in the PAGETEXT
file. You can now not only change the one-line prompt, but can as well
a text file (Either ASCII & ANSI files ('G' Appended for ANSI, just like
PCBoard), or use PCBoard @X## macros for one file). (As per request of
J. S. Morisset.)
11/28/91 PCBPage 3.0 Official Release
Added support for flagging the PCBoard USERNET.DAT file, this
will allow PCBMoni replacements like PCBWatch to know a user is paging
you. (As per request of Rich Little, PCBWatch Author.)
Added Multi-Lingual Support for both the text and screen displays.
The new code uses the new PAGETEXT text files to read for the text lines
the door displays (4 in all).
Added a "Trash Can" file (TCAN) to deflect pages from "problem"
users who you don't wat to get pages from at any time.
Added an "Always Page" file (ALWAYS) to allow selected users to
be able to page you at ANY TIME, regardless of the tiem settings in your
PCBPAGE.CNF file.
07/02/91 PCBPage 2.2 Official Release
Fixed a minor problem with sensing loss of carrier while the
page bell was ringing. Loss of carrier wasn't detected until after the
30 seconds of the ringing passed. Now it monitors carrier loss during
the ringing of the page bell. The door still exited properly, but it
just took a few seconds longer.
Fixed major bug that caused the program to wait for a keypress
from the local console if the remote user hit Ctrl-K while the bell was
ringing. This was a real stupid one... but, at least it's fixed!!!
06/03/91 PCBPage 2.1 Official Release
Changed the ringing of the page bell to sound more distinctive,
kind of sounds like an electronic telephone now. But, not so close to
one that you should confuse them. Makes it easier to tell when someone
is trying to page you.
05/16/91 PCBPage 2.0 Official Release
Just finished a complete re-write over to TP 6.0 and ProKit3.4
for multi-tasking compatibility and other features. there are changes
in the configuration file and the door batch file, so look carefully.
Added the usage of your own Prompts fro the configuration file, prompts
and text files can use all of the PCB "@" macros and @X## color codes
and a list of ProDoor "$" macros that are included in a text file.
05/04/91 PCBPage 1.0 First Official Release
Finally got the fixed libraries from Todd Miller, so now
everything is set for final release.
04/30/91 PCBPage 1.0 Beta 7
Still waiting on the fix for the User Color, but it's fixed in
the libraries, I just can't get on Todd Miler's Board to get the fix.
This version and all future verison will no longer require the
use of PAGESET.EXE. I have found out how to set the page bell on in
the door code, and restored the old value before exiting. You can now
leave your page bell off, and not use PAGESET for proper door operation.
04/30/91 PCBpage 1.0 Beta 6
Woops, I goofed in the subroutine to read the PCBoard.Dat file
to get the default colors for User input. Was messing up both the
printer log output and the color definition for User input.
There is also a bug in the new user color routine in the library
routines, which is being fixed, hopefully to be included with this
package, but maybe not, since I am writing this before I get the new
routines. If not corrected the user display color will not be correct,
but this will be corrected with the final release.....
04/28/91 PCBPage 1.0 Beta 5
Got another new version of the DOORSOURCE Library this evening, so I
made some changes:
The door now displays the user's typing in the color found in your
PCBOARD.DAT File.
I also got a fix in the library to give a status flag back from the
SysopPage routine to tell of the success/failure of the page attempt.
This fixes the short chats resulting in the "Sysop Not Available" screen
being displayed, now it's handled correctly.
04/21/91 PCBPage 1.0 Beta 4
GOt some new library routines from the DOORSOURCE author. This version
now supports word wrapping while chatting.
04/20/91 PCBPage 1.0 Beta 3
Removing the HOT-KEYS yesterday caused a problem if a user made more
than a one character response to the Yes/No prompts. Fixed.
04/19/91 PCBPage 1.0 Beta 2
Worked over a few things in the code:
Added logging of override requests.
Removed "hot key" operations to better match PCBoard.
Adjusted some colors and prompts to match PCboard default prompts.
If no reason is given for the page, the door returns to PCB.
04/18/91 PCBPage 1.0 Beta 1
Inital re-coding of the page door to utilize DOORSOURCE 3.2.
Hope it works better this time. Re-coded the door to make it appear
more transparent (total transparent in registered copies) to PCBoard
operations. Use it as SHELL door, and users never know they left PCB.
