Version 1.00 New release, no bug fixes or reports, no changes in the
program.
Version 1.01 Just program enhancements. No bug reports.
Version 2.00. No bug reports. RIME.ZIP file dated 11/07/90 had the state
file name STATES.RPT and I changed it to STATE.RPT because that is what my
STATE.EXE looks for. If you update the State and Hub reports yourself
please make sure that the names are STATE.RPT and HUB.LST. This version is
not downward compatible with earlier releases.
Because the format of STATE.RPT changed, I had to rewrite STATE.EXE as
well as PCRLIST.EXE to support the adding of the Hub ID in the Rime Data.
Version 3.00 New Release. With this version HUB.LST and HUB.EXE are no
longer required. If you are currently running PCRelay List Door that you
erase all files and start over, but make sure you save your *.CFG files.
The current version of STATES.RPT, 01-24-1991 now includes the Baud Rate,
and is now complete without the use of the HUB.LST information. This
version is not downward compatible with earlier releases.
Version 3.01. Corrected an error in the Hub and Node routines with the
exit routines. The program was going to the wrong line of code and
it looked like the computer locked up, but was really waiting for a
key press.
Version 3.02. Forgot to log changes. Not sure what I did. A new RIME.ZIP
containing STATES.RPT was included, but I made the mistake of not
checking the format, so this version does/did not run correctly.
Version 4.00. STATES.RPT's format changed, again, and for the life of
me I don't know why. First and last names are now each in their own
columns. Anyway, had to reconfigure the programs to read and index the
new format. Not really sure when this report changed, and it is my
fault for not checking.
Version 4.10. Redesigned the access to PCRelay List Help. It is now
accessable from each option instead of from only the Main Menu. There
is no longer a Help Menu, access now is directly into the first help
screen. You can exit at any point now instead of only at the end of
the help screens.
Version 4.11. Added 'Country' to all references to 'State', also
added some helps for entring the countries since Bonnie has chosen
not to use the international three character standard.
Version 4.20 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Added the ability to search
by the Sysop's last name.
Version 4.21 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Finally discovered that Bonnie
Anthony has some BBS systems with two sysops, one under first name
and one under last name. This program now uses the second sysop as
the sysop for those particular BBS systems. I would not have caught
this had I not started the search option for sysop's last name. And
then I did not catch it until after 4.20 was released.
Version 5.00 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Format in STATES.RPT changed
again. I hope I have fixed STATE.EXE to handle these kinds of
changes. Bonnie added some blank lines to the report and my
program could not handle them as it was. I caught the error that
caused the last record to be incomplete. I was exiting STATE.EXE
and closing a wrong filename. (dumb!) The program was not searching
for sysop's name correctly so I rewrote the code and added another
field to correct this. By doing it the search speed has increased.
I also added a few more bells and whistles to the door.
Version 5.01 (PCRLIST.EXE). Corrected an error in the BBS Name
routine that put you in Node ID option for all files when you
exited the name input field by pressing ENTER on a blank
line.
Version 6.00 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Corrected an error in
the Hub ID search routine that did not return the user to the
input postion for specific search criteria. This version also
uses new indexes that makes the searches much quicker and has
increased some searches by several hundred percent. A few more
bells and whistles have also been added.
Version 7.00 (PCRLIST.EXE/STATE.EXE). Changed door to use a
registration serial number to avoid sysops having to send a
diskette to get an upgrade. No other changes were made to the
programs' operation.
Version 7.01. (PCRLIST.EXE). Made an error in the serial number
routine. All users were not coming up with registered copies
using the supplied serial numbers. Hopefully this has been
corrected. In all my tests, this time, everythign appeared to
be working correctly. Had I tested further with 7.00 I would
have caught the problem. Sorry!
