| HamBank v1.2 changes from HamBank v1.0 |
+----------------------------------------+
+-----------+
| Bug Fixes |
+-----------+
<SPLAT> - Fixed that annoying TYM2QBBS/TYM2RA bug. It seemed that if a user
logged into HamBank, was in it for a while, and returned to the
board with less time than he spent in the bank, QuickBBS/RA would
hang him up without any time left. I wasn't calculating the time
spent in HamBank when writing to ExitInfo.BBS. It appears that that
bug has been squashed, but if the problem occurs again, let me know!
<SPLAT> - Fixed the wordwrap problem in ChatMode. First off, anything the
SysOp typed would not be wordwrapped, just truncated. Secondly,
whenever a wordwrap did happen, the word would be deleted but not
reprinted on the next line. Needless to say, that caused a little
confusion. Wordwrap should be fully functional now.
<SPLAT> - Fixed monochrome problems. Some people complained that when they
ran HamBank on their monochrome monitor, they would only see the
cursor spinning around the screen. This has been fixed with the
addition of the 'M' command-line switch.
<SPLAT> - Fixed the Welcome Screen problem. Some people told me that the
welcome file (HamBank.Wel) would corrupt itself and cause that nasty
message to appear. I've since moved the welcome screens into the
program itself, and have also created an ASCII version for people
without ANSI turned on.

| New Additions |
+---------------+
<GASP> - Added HotKeys to the menu. The 'Welcome to HamBank' message box will
not be allowed to be interrupted, but the rest of the menu is. Only
the keys available will abort the menu.
<GASP> - Added "HamBank.Win" and "HamBank.Los" files. If either of these
files is present in the HamBank directory while a user attempts to
rob the bank, HamBank will scan them to see what to do with the user.
For example, if the user Long John tries to rob the bank, and his
name is found in HamBank.Los, he will AUTOMATICALLY LOSE, every time
he tries. If his name was found in HamBank.Win, he will
AUTOMATICALLY WIN, every time he tries. The winner file takes
precedence over the loser file. The format for these files is very
simple - each line contains a name of a person.
<GASP> - Added a help screen for the sysop status line. Hitting <HOME> will
show you what keys you have available.
<GASP> - Added a 'B' command-line option. If this option is present, and the
current user has a debt (borrowed money), HamBank will deduct up to
50% of his current on-line time to pay for his debt, and then return
him to the board. For example, if the infamous Long John has
borrowed 30 minutes (and he must pay back 36 minutes), and he calls
your board with 30 minutes, HamBank will take 15 minutes of his
on-line time, put it towards his debt (now he only owes 21), and
return him to the board with 15 minutes. This option is meant to be
used as a person logs on (from your first menu). This will FORCE a
person to pay back his debt, instead of just borrowing once and never
loading up HamBank again.
