What's new for POPDOOR Version 2.01
- Completely rewritten in Turbo Pascal 5.0
thus reducing the code size by 3 times.
the quickbasic version was over 60k of compiled
code, the pascal version is just over 25k compiled.
- Run time speeds are increased by 100 times.
- Added the Average Number of Uses a Day to the User
Screen.
- Added two decimal places for average uses on both
screens.
- Added the following commands to the POPDOOR.CFG file.
CLEARSCREEN YES or CLEARSCREEN NO
ENTER YES or ENTER NO
See the documentation for explanations of each.
- Changed the way the ANSI Screens were created to reduced
their size. I'm still getting a handle on ANSI screen
creating.
- Changed the way it searched through the log. The new way is
much more structured and faster. It also displays a neat
little meter when searching and when it finds the new date
in the log.
**************************************************************
*- YOU MUST RESTART POPDOOR. I'm really sorry about this. But*
* Pascal and QuickBasic Keep there files total different. *
**************************************************************
- You can now enter the name of the log file in the command
line. This is useful for multiline remote access bbs's which
have a log file for each line. If no log file is entered
then POPdoor will use the log file name in the Config file.
- Popdoor looks for the \ after each path name. If none is
entered then popdoor adds a \. This just helps in ease of
use.
- POPdoor now reads both Opus and Frontdoor Log Styles!
Reads what type of log file from the RA config file.
- Instead of the first date Popdoor was run being used
globally for the averages it now saves the first date that
door or user was processed by popdoor. The reason for this
was if a door was added later after popdoor had been running
for a while the average was very low. The new way will make
a real average use for doors and users.
- Added the Last date and Time Updated to the Popdoor
ANSI/ASCII out put files.
- When a door is removed and replaced by another one, the
times used were not being reset to zero. This was fixed.
- Add a way to delete doors when removed from the system. To
do this change the name of the door in the POPDOOR.cfg file
NONE and the LOGFILE description to something that will
NEVER appear in the RA log file. Look at the documentation
for a more detail description of this.
********************** IMPORTANT *****************************
- SYSOPNAME, BBSNAME, POPFILE, POPUSER, INCLUDESYSOP are NO
LONGER Required in the POPDOOR CONFIG FILE (POPDOOR.CFG).
They are all read from the Remote Access Config File.
- SYSTEMPATH added to the config file. Make sure you put the
full path to the remote access config file. E.g. C:\RA\.
- POPDOOR and POPUSER are used for the file names of the
top Doors and top Door Users.
