Note to SYSOPS!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This file will contain the changes or revisions to the Super Rig! game
and will serve as a quick guide to SysOps in setting up game upgrades.
In no way, shape or form is this a substitute for 'reading the manual'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whats New in V4.0 of Super Rig!?
--------------------------------
(1) Play upgrade - more ANSI screens added
(2) Game more randomized as to play scenerio's.
(3) Additional BBS caller file/type support.
(4) BIOS and DIRECT screen write routines.
a. BIOS makes calls to resident ANSI driver installed (ie. ANSI.SYS)
b. DIRECT will write directly to screen for fast writes. (best!)
(5) Expanded support in the SETUP.EXE program for quick setup.
(6) Color bulletin is no longer 'animated' and will not get "split-up" by
a 23 line "More? (Y/N)" type prompts.
Ver 4.1 Update -> Additional MULTI-Node support added!
--------------
(1) Added Registered user info fields into SUPERIG.CFG to eliminate the
need for a separate ".key" file. Although the game will still look
in the current directory for "SUPERIG.KEY" if the information is not
in the SUPERIG.CFG file. Entering your registered Name and serial
number into this '.CFG' file will skip the disk check for the .Key
to auto-register the game.
For those who have previously registered earlier versions of this
game and you do not have a ".key" file or know your serial number,
you can contact me via Email on my BBS and I will give you the info
needed to enter into SETUP to register once you've downloaded this
game upgrade.
A few minor program cliches were corrected for BIOS support.
Configuration file name/setup slightly changed to support from 1-99
nodes under Novell networks. Now command line switch supports this
via /NODE1 through /NODE99. Although the SETUP program still only
sets 'multinode' operations from nodes 1-4, you can directly edit
the configuration filenames from SUPRIG1.CFG through SUPRIG99.CFG
If you are upgrading from previous versions (ie 4.0 and below) you
can run setup to enter your BBS config directly or run the latest
SETUP.EXE program and enter the required information. Version 4.0
users need only rename their SUPERIGx.CFG for nodes 1-4 by dropping
the "E" in the configuration filename, to SUPRIGxx.CFG where the
"xx" is a number between 1 and 99.
Ver 4.2 Update
--------------
(1) A few sysops have asked for a feature to turn off the 'Horn' in
Super Rig when it comes up on the title screen. They sleep next
to their computers and folks are keeping them awake at night by
the playing the game a lot! So, for registered users I have now
added a configuration field that will 'turn off' the horn and any
beep for dead time in the game. Simply add the uppercase words
'HORN OFF' in the last line (#12) of the Superig.cfg file. Now
you can go back to sleep...
(2) Minor screen updates and file handling features were added in.
Ver 4.3 Update
--------------
(1) Direct support for WWIV v4.x BBS's installed for command line for
use in reading CHAIN.TXT for caller information.
Ver 5.0 Update
--------------
(1) Added additional flow control for HST modems locked at 38400 for
tranmission of large ANSI color files. Problem only showed up
in previous versions at very high DTE rates (38400) against very
low DCE rates (ie 1200 baud). HST modems must have &H1 and &R2
registers set for correct flow control.
(2) Fixed a few minor bugs, added additional ANSI screens, and also
streamlined some coding.
Ver 5.1 Update
--------------
(1) Added direct support for new V3.0 of Wildcat and also SpitFire
caller files. Touched up a few minor glitches.
