Voter Plus - Revision History (In Reverse Order)
------------------------------------------------
Aug 15, 1992 - 1.26 - Added some additional code to guard against possible
hack attempts of the .EXE file.
Aug 09, 1992 - 1.25 - Changed the eXpert status function somewhat. All
callers will start out in non-expert mode when they
enter the door. Regardless of whether they toggle
their status while in the door, their status upon
returning to PCBoard will remain unchanged.
Aug 07, 1992 - 1.24 - Added line 11 to the VOTER.CNF file. If this line
contains YES then the caller will NOT be permitted
to view the results of a booth they have not yet
voted on.
It seems that some non-PCBoard systems that are
using QKDoor to convert the control files are
having problems with the correct TIMELEFT value
being displayed on the command line. It appears
that QKDoor is not properly creating the PCBoard.Sys
file. As an interim measure, you may add the
following SET command to the batch file that calls
VOTER PLUS, or in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET VPLUS=xxx
Where xxx equals the amount of time in MINUTES you
wish the user to be allowed in the door.
NOTE: If you are not ACTUALLY running PCBoard 14.5(a),
then you should have NO in line 4 of the VOTER.CNF
file. Otherwise, the caller will NOT be prompted
whether they wish the Graph or Chart style display
of the results.
You may now register Voter Plus On-line using
Mastercard or Visa. See ORDER.FRM for details.
Jul 26, 1992 - 1.20 - In the logic that checks for a valid DOS filename
when creating a new booth, I had missed the
characters: "[" and "]". They are now also trapped
as illegal.
Jul 18, 1992 - 1.18 - Changed VOTER.WEC to VOTERWEL for multi-lang
compatibility. The DOOR will look for and display
VOTERWEL.xxx where .xxx equals the .LNG extension
as defined in PCBoard's setup if the caller is in
alternate language mode.
Support has been added for multi-language HELP
menus and text. If the caller is using an
alternate language, Voter Plus will look for and
display the file HLP-MENU.xxx Again .xxx equals
PCB's .LNG extension. In the same fashion, you may
create help files that correspond to Voter Plus's
Main Menu commands, such as HELP-E.xxx, HELP-C.xxx,
HELP-V.xxx, etc.
The ground-work has been laid for FULL multi-lang
support of all of Voter Plus's internal text output.
What I need now is someone able to provide the
translations. If anyone is interested, please drop
me a note at one of the support BBS's listed in
VOTER.DOC
Voter Plus will now follow the Expert Mode toggle
of the caller. The menu command <X> has also been
added to allow the caller to toggle Expert Mode
while in the door.
The caller is now able to leave ONLY a comment
regarding a specific booth. We will see how this
works out. Seems to me it might allow for some
nice "discussions" to take place in addition to the
actual voting. This is <L> Leave a Comment on
the Main Menu.
Added "Saving Comment" message when in non-verbose
mode.
I realize that a lot of the above changes will only
be of use to those running PCBoard compatible
systems. What can I say ? Please let me know
though if the changes cause non-PCB systems any
problems.
Jun 24, 1992 - 1.15 - When Creating A New Booth, The Option To Allow
The Voter To Change Their Vote Would Always Be
Saved As NO. The DOOR Would Not Allow A Caller
To Edit Or Delete A Booth They Had Created If
They Had Chosen To Have Their Name Suppressed.
Jun 07, 1992 - 1.12 - Fixed A Problem With The Anonymous Option
When Viewing The Results.
Jun 05, 1992 - 1.11 - Fixed A Problem With The Anonymous Option.
Jun 05, 1992 - 1.10 - Added The Option When Creating A Booth, For The
Creator's Name To Be Suppressed When Voting Or
Viewing The Results Of The Booth. A Suppressed
Name Is Indicated By A * Before The Creator's
Name Listed in the .VTR File.
Added Lines 9 & 10 To The VOTER.CNF File. These
