Enhancements and Corrections
04/24/92 - Version 3.0
Thanks to all of you who gave us suggestions for enhancements!
- Added "user defineable" exit messages when leaving TimeLock. This
will allow you to display (or not) one of three messages or
screens dependent upon whether your caller is in their timeslot,
out of their timeslot, or in an open slot. This new feature is
available to registered AND sharware users.
- Since some of you were having problems making your BBS software
hang up based on the exitlevel, line 6 of the TimeLock.CNF file
has been changed to allow registered users to enter DTR instead
of an actual exit errorlevel. If you place DTR on this line
TimeLock will disconnect for you if the caller in not in a
valid timeslot.
- Added exempt security level. This will allow you to permit
access (without having to establish a TimeData record) for those
callers with a particular security level or higher. See
TimeLock.CNF for more information. This new feature is available
to registered users only.
04/07/92 - Version 2.3
2.2 correction for "wrap around" timeslots was placing odd times
in the TIMELOCK.LOG file (like 47:15). The entries to the log
file will now contain the real time.
03/27/92 - Version 2.2
Corrected Logging functions. Registered users were not being
allowed to turn the Log file off. This has been corrected.
Check the fourth line of your TimeLock.CNF file. A "Y" will
maintain the Log, a "N" will not.
Corrected problems with "wrap around" timeslots (i.e. 23:45 to
00:30). Should now properly check to see if validating a
"wrap around" slot and/or whether the user in that slot has
called after midnight.
03/22/92 - Version 2.1
Back by popular request...the "Registered to..." message!
03/10/92 - Version 2.0 - Released as Shareware!
Just as a recap, here are the differences between the Shareware
version and the Registered version...

NEW!=> A new feature available to all users was also added. TimeLock now
allows access to any caller for an open timeslot. (An open timeslot
is a slot for which there is no TimeData record.)
See TIMELOCK.CNF and TIMEDATA.CNF for information on the new
configuration options. See TIMELOCK.DOC for a complete description
of all the new features.
02/25/92 - Version 1.0 (OUT OF BETA!!!)
Implemented Registered User features (i.e. Usage Log, Default Time
Increments, and Overlap Verification). Also corrected some problems
with determining who was a registered user and who was not.
NOTE! The layout of the TIMELOCK.CNF file has changed and a
TIMEDATA.CNF file has been added. Read TIMELOCK.DOC, TIMELOCK.CNF,
and TIMEDATA.CNF for full details.
02/16/92 - Version 0.1 (still Beta)
Added flag in configuration file so that REGISTERED users could
opt to retrieve their callers password from the DOOR.SYS file.
This will allow you to put TimeLock in place without requiring
your users/nodes to change their existing mail scripts.
02/09/92 - Version 0.0
Initial Beta release
