Well, the following is the history of MaxBank. Actually these are
mostly programming notes that I use to keep track off what I've done.
Even though it is a personal log I figure there is no harm in showing
them to you.
12/10/91 - Released first beta copy.
12/12/91 - Fixed chat mode for proper cursor movement.
12/14/91 - Made changes to I/O routines.
12/17/91 - Fixed major bugs in modem I/O routines... seem to be working
smoothly now.
12/27/91 - Fixed carrier checking so it works on all communication ports.
12/30/91 - Changed multi-node support so that the current task number
can be passed thus being easier to setup and much
more efficient.
01/01/92 - Fixed a bug in SysOp's "List User" function so that the
columns are evenly spaced not only locally but also on remote
- made a major change in MAXBANK.USR format upon demand, changed the
user file from a FIXED length to DYNAMIC and indefinite length
(thus saving valuable disk space)
- quickly threw together the program to convert the old format to the
new and updated documentation
- added local/remote keyboard time out (and added it to the
configuration file)
- ran through all the files and prepared a version 2 release package
01/02/92 - performed tests on version 2 under multi and single node
conditions
01/03/92 - Final version 2.00 release
02/16/92 - Auto word wrap in chat function added
03/24/92 - After much encouragement (and a day sick from school) made
an attempt at producing a new version
- created configuration file with all the new options MaxBank
would have
- sat down and figured out the MUTT v1.0 user file format and
wrote some elementary code for a convertor that would change a
MUTT user file to a MaxBank user file
- rewrote all routines that had to do with withdrawls/deposits
to fix a bug that gave users extra time under certain system
conditions
03/26/92 - Wow, I'm practically starting from scratch. Only the
communication routines remain intact. I'm starting fresh.
- Concentrating on the "Time Bank" portion. The Byte Bank will
wait until the next beta. Version 3 will contain both. Promise.
- Still hacking away. I have way better routines this time.
Boy am I glad I started fresh.
- just a note to point out, even from remote listing patrons now
goes in proper column form
03/28/92 - back again. Added all kinds of features and wrote a bunch
of routines. Check 'em out dude!
03/31/92 - Depressing news from Scott Dudley. From what he can figure,
there is NO way to program a Byte Bank. He threw a couple of
ideas my way, and left it up to me to experiment with.
04/01/92 - Well, took Byte Bank Menu off v2.8 release. I'm not making this
the version 3.0 release as I hope to have a Byte Bank by then.
04/04/92 - Added the function to remove an account. (Kill KILL!) Beta
testing is about over. Now let us finish the documentation!
- Documentation finished. Just a case of a quick proof reading
and getting it released.
04/09/92 - Made logging function more verbose than just "IN" and "OUT"!
- Added F1=HELP function to status bar, now toggles help/info
- proper checking of existance of LASTUS?? installed. Save some
hassle here.
- better handling of task switch numbers
04/10/92 - RELEASE
