InfoMaster v1.41 by Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 15, 1990
* By request of a user, a new command line option has been introduced.
BIOS - forces InfoMaster to use BIOS screen writes
* realigned some of the user information
"What do you think?"
--------------------
I am thinking of changing the graph to reflect a positive or
negative value. To the left would be a negative or poor ratio, in the
middle would be a 1 to 1 ratio (balanced) and to the right would be a
positive (more UL than downloads) ratio. Let me know your feelings on
this as I will be changing it if I don't get a negative reaction.

InfoMaster v1.40 by Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 14, 1990
* MAJOR UPGRADE!
New things
----------
* InfoMaster must be registered to enable all of the new options.
Best of all, registration is FREE! Just call The Rising Connection
at 615-531-8789, open the InfoMaster Registration door and register
your copy at no cost!
* Registered users get many benefits.
∙ Color
∙ BiModem information support
∙ Terminal mode awareness
∙ Super Indexing to speed subsequent executions during the same call.
∙ A few other surprise additions.
* Screen no longer slides in. Although there were absolutely no
delays in program execution, some thought the sliding screen was for
vanity only. Now, it no longer slides, yet the dots still move
under the "infomaster" marquee to show you the search for the user
through the control files
* Added DEFAULT line switch to use preset colors. (Registration Req.)
* Added REGISTER line switch to allow registration of InfoMaster.
* Auto-resist black color (0), remap to 7 (normal). [Joe Tellup]
* Added Super Indexing. The first time a caller uses the door,
Infomaster runs normally. Every subsequent use of InfoMaster during
that call is almost instantaneous! (Registration Req.)
* Added automatic sensing of Terminal Mode. When the sysop is using
his GT Host to dial out and download files, InfoMaster will sense
that the board is not in operation and give way to the protocol
instead of displaying an information screen. (Registration Req.)
[Perry Alexander] You must also overlay your protocols!!
* Squeezed last line of information down a few characters.
* Added registration status on frame at bottom left.

InfoMaster v1.30 by Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 12, 1990
* Fixed DTE to show 38400. Will not go above 57600bps at this time,
however. If you need to show baud rates like 115200bps, please let
me know.
* Fixed delay on beginning screen. The time it stays on screen is
directly related to how long it takes for Infomaster to find the
user's file. Progression is shown by moving dots on the straight
line below the bannered 'infomaster' letters. (Kevin Martin)
* LAN Support added
- Automatic recognition; no extra command line switches needed!
- File locking logic was provided courtesy of Bob Camp
( THANKS BOB! )

InfoMaster v1.23-4 Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I've lost these 2 versions due to a lightning strike, so I can't tell
you much about them. They're out there, but I can no longer support
v1.23 or v1.24.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InfoMaster v1.22 by Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 2, 1990
* Now shows free space on current drive.
* 1-2 enhancements
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InfoMaster v1.21 by Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 28, 1990
* Infomaster now picks up colors from the GT.CNF file (Warren Leadbeatter)
* Snazzy intro screen
- Not yet LAN compatible... (sorry guys)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InfoMaster v1.20 by Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 23, 1990
* Redesigned screen to better accomodate more information. Pushed
user info toward the lower part of the screen to help secure the
name on-screen for a longer period of time during long downloads.
* Changed colors
* Now using horizontal graph instead of vertical graph. It portrays
a better meaning, faster, than the vertical graph did. The graph
now shows the percentage of files transferred that were DOWNLOADS.
(Rob Roesch, vertical graph)
* Quite a few more enhancements... too many picky things to list..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InfoMaster v1.11 by Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 12, 1990
* Exchanged lower line with upper line so that the name will not
scroll off the top of the screen during long downloads (Brian Olah)
* Moderated screen colors again
* Shifted graph right 1 space to fix spacing of time left on left
side.
* Compressed executable file down to 11k from 19k - will now
take up less space on your drive, decompress into memory when run
with no noticable speed difference.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InfoMaster v1.10 by Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 5, 1990
* Added a bar graph in the center that will plot the users' ratio
with respect to upload kilobytes just as the ratio itself is
calculated. The bar graph will turn red if the ratio is low ( less
than .200 uploads per 1 download ), cyan if the ratio is adequate,
and white if the ratio is good ( greater than 1:1 ).
* The ratio numbers will change color with the graph.
* Fixed the minutes portion of the 'time logged on' so that when the
minutes are single digit integers, the time will be padded with a 0.
* Fixed the possibilty of a LOCAL baud rate appearing in the DCE slot
when using versions 15.00 or 15.01 of GT. Now 'n/a' is displayed.
* Changed a few more colors
* Added 'Time allowed' and 'Time so far' section so that the sysop may
see how long the user has been on, and how much he is allowed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InfoMaster v1.04 by Cory Wright, The Rising Connection 615-531-8789 070/002

v1.04 February 27, 1990
* Changed colors in order to reduced the # on screen for aesthetic reasons
- Reduced some glare via softer colors
* Fixed bug that caused 'has only downloadedk UL to 1k DL' to appear
when user had no ratio.
* Changed wording in some places
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Was displaying time user had been on. Now shows time left.
* Condensed window 2 lines to leave more room on screen
* More information on window
- Moved user name, level, setting, user # and calls to top line

- Ratio now goes to 4 decimal places
- Moved information around to more logical subwindows.
I apologize for the quick releases, but, as with any new program, the
ideas keep flowing. This release should be bug free, but please let me
know if you find anything.
REMEMBER: INFOMAST BIMODEM will allow information to be shown during
Bimodem operation. See bottom of docs for more information.
