  16.                         -Cosmetic changes.
  17.  
  18.     02/24/92 -  v1.9    -fixed bug in filename input routine.  Door would
  19.                          sometimes crash when users entered filenames without
  20.                          marking them first.
  21.  
  22.     02/25/92 -  v1.9A   -added better configuration checking.
  23.  
  24.     02/25/92 -  v1.9B   -added options in VIEWPIX.CNF (config file) to allow
  25.                          for non-standard com port setups.  Sysops can include
  26.                          port #, IRQ, IOBase address, parity, and stop bits to
  27.                          config file if so needed.  Here's the way the config
  28.                          file would look:
  29.  
  30.   Standard Setup (no weird com stuff)  Non-Standard Setup
  31.   -----------------------------------  ---------------------------------------
  32.    c:\gap                                c:\gap
  33.    No Anchovies PC                       No Anchovies PC
  34.    GAP                                   GAP
  35.    0000                                  0000
  36.    i:\viewpix\viewpix.lst                i:\viewpix\viewpix.lst
  37.    i:\viewpix\viewpix.dir                i:\viewpix\viewpix.dir
  38.    F:                                    F:
  39.    7                                     7
  40.    456789                                456789
  41.    NONE   <-this has been added          #    <- Port number
  42.             since docs were written      #    <- IRQ number
  43.                                          #### <-IOBase address (decimal only!)
  44.                                          #    <- parity (0 = NO parity)
  45.                                          #    <- data bits (8 = normal)
  46.  
  47.     02/25/92 -  v1.9C   -fixed a small problem (not really a bug) in the
  48.                          error trapping routine.  Door will now properly exit
  49.                          back to BBS if program error occurs.
  50.  
  51.     02/28/92 -  v1.9D   -optimized the code a bit.  Was told the above port
  52.                          addressing actually works! (a programming 1st for me).
  53.  
  54.     02/29/92 -  v1.9E   -maintenance release.  I forgot to turn on the door's
  55.                          error checking routines.  Dressed up configuration
  56.                          screen a bit.
  57.  
  58.     03/05/92 -  v1.9F   -ViewPix sometimes "loses it's place" and can't find
  59.                          its way back to the directory from which it's being
  60.                          executed.  Added routines to fix this problem.
