GTAccess! by Cory Wright Recent Updates to the code
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.22ß - October 26, 1989 - GTAccess
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This version, though a year older, sports only a few new enhancements --
sorry. GT 16.00 support is included! You need to add one line to the
end of your GTACCESS.CNF file that says '15' or '16' if you want GT 15
message base support or GT 16, respectively.
The current GTACCESS.CNF file looks like this:
BBS Name
Registration number
k:\MAINMSG
k:\MAINMSG
k:\MAINMSG
LAN
d:\gt

16 <- new line added
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.21ß - October 23, 1989 - GTAccess
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be sure to READ the DOCUMENTATION file FULLY BEFORE you use GTAccess!
I can't stress that enough.
I have added in a few new features and fixed a few bugs.
Reports to the sysop and on-screen display are now fixed for
'same-level' questionnaire reporting. Fixed a bug in which no message
would be sent on 'same-level' questionnaire checking if the user
answered all the required questions.
A new feature will let you personalize the message to the user.
Anywhere you place the word @FIRST@ (once per line!), the user's name
will be substituted. Please see the sample ACCESSx.* files for usage of
the @FIRST@ codes...
Also, this version detects and works with ALL versions of GT 15.XX
including the new format of the beta series.
v1.20 - October 7, 1989
This version corrects a bug it had for people with one-word names not
being processed correctly. Also, for speed's sake, the growing windows
have been removed. No configuration file changes or command line
changes in this version. Please read the comments for the last few
versions below that might not be in the main documentation below (SUCH
AS RENAMING YOUR ANSWERx.BBS files to ANSWERx.SAV if this is your first
time using GTAccess!). For those using TopView/Desqview, etc, you can
now redirect the output to NULL (ex: GTACCESS 1 V S 3 >>NUL) to avoid
the direct screen writes employed by the program. Super Indexing is
also available to speed the user processing along for registered users
(read more in the main documentation).
v1.10 - September 6, 1989
The program now skips over deleted users. I recommend running INVLVL in your
LOGOFF bat file to keep your user file in good order by deleting users with
invalid access levels. (like spaces, etc). Thank you, Chet Wilkinson, for
pointing out minor errors in the docs, and recommending this change.
Fixed a few bugs that were causing the ANSWERx.BBS not to be moved over to the
ANSWERx.SAV file. Improved the interface with windows. Be sure that you
have renamed your ANSWERx.BBS files into ANSWERx.SAV files (simply change the
extension to SAV)
Thanks Beta People for helping me fix/test this program out:
April Strong of The Boardwalk in Mesquite, TX
Douglas Pippel of The Event Horizon in Safety Harbor, FL
Ken Kirkland of The Wizard's Castle in Atlanta, GA
Chet Wilkinson of TSUNAMI - Catch the Wave! in Cincinnati, OH
v1.05 - August 25, 1989
I have found that, for those of you with separate message bases for your sysop
mail, GTAccess was screwing it up. I am deeply sorry, but this version
*should* take care of all your problems. The code has been greatly enhanced
and sped up. In fact, it runs up to 40% faster than before. Please report
ANY bugs to me ASAP at Netnode 070/002. You also need to read the docs again,
because the CONFIGURATION FILE has CHANGED! It has been expanded to
accommodate the requests I received for improvement. Please enjoy!
YOU NEED TO RENAME YOUR ANSWERx.BBS FILES TO ANSWERx.SAV BEFORE USING THIS
VERSION. OTHERWISE, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR ANSWER FILES!!!!! In other words,
rename ANSWER1.BBS to ANSWER1.SAV before starting!
v1.04 - August 20, 1989
Little bug fix on this one. Option 4 now does NOT send a public message
annoucing the user's presence. It just sends the sysop a message and the
user a message if the appropriate message to send exists. Again, let me
explain that option 4 is different from option 2. Both send messages just
to the sysop and to the user, but option 4 only notifies the sysop IF the
user was notified. This is beneficial for "Visiting Sysop" Questionnaires
where almost everyone has the "Standard User" level, and you don't want to
know when they don't answer it, because *most* people won't be answering the
visiting sysop questionnaire. You can take it from there...
Code size was reduced by a whopping 146 bytes! Plus, for those of you using
option 4, I removed the stamp from the log to make it work like option 4
does when you are using option 4 (grin!)... In other words, it only stamps
an activity in the log when a message is actually sent. Before, when using
option 4, it was stamping "(Sally Smith) did not answer questionnaire x". Now
it only stamps it when it needs to. I could go on and on, but why increase
the size of this file??! Ask me in netmail if you need further explanation,
but mainly, these are my notes when someone asks "Why doesn't v1.03 work like
such and such".
The rest of the releases of GTAccess! will be when I add options in for those
who request them by mail or netmail. I am continuing the work on LAN support
and have been informed that it's not quite working like it should. I'm trying,
but there has been no LAN code change in this release (v1.04)
Be sure to READ the DOCUMENTATION file FULLY BEFORE you use GTAccess!
I can't stress that enough. Enjoy! -Cory
