QuickBBS Version 2.01 Changes Document
======================================
Version 2.01 of QuickBBS is simply a maintainence release for Version
2.00. It mainly fixed a lot of bugs that existed in Version 2.00.
Make sure you run FIXUSER to clean up your user file, Version 2.00 had
a small bug which caused the download counters to get trashed. Also be
sure to run the new QNODE included in the 2.01 package if you run
net-mail.
* QuickBBS will no longer send ANSI codes to the modem in local mode.
* The problem with the Type 40 command has been fixed, this caused
QuickBBS to sometimes repeat the last command entered.
* When you forward a net-mail message, QuickBBS will now exit at the
proper errorlevel to toss it out.
* ECHOGEN's never ending problem with Origin lines has hopefully been
completely fixed.
* If you are in chat mode for more than the inactive time limit, the
system will no longer disconnect the user.
* QuickBBS's internal ANSI driver will now expand TAB characters.
* If the -T parameter is not specified on the command line, QuickBBS
will attempt to use it's own event scheduler to determine when the
next event is.
* If a backslash is specified in the optional data of a download
command, QuickBBS will now handle it properly.
* The <F>orward command now will allow you to forward a message to a
different Zone.
* The download counter problem has been fixed, QuickBBS no longer
will decrement the number.
* The control character ^B in ANS/ASC files has been fixed, it will
now disable aborting the text file with the S key.
* The nodelist structure for QuickBBS 2.01 has changed slightly from
the previous 2.00 structure. Please run the new QNODE.EXE program
before installing 2.01.
* The DORINFO1.DEF file that is created on an external exit or system
shell has been fixed to support the RBBS-PC local mode (COM0) entry.
* The problem with USEREDIT's add user function has been fixed, this
bug caused USERPACK and USERSORT to bomb with an error code 100.
* The <F>orward message command will now exit with the appropriate
errorlevel when forwarding network mail.
* There is now a command view text file command, it is type 28. The
optional data is the download path.
* There is now a new questonnaire file command called, this command
will output (to the users screen) one of the answering variables.
This makes it possible to list the user's answers so far and ask if
they are correct. The format is:
LISTANSWER <Var Num>
<Var Num> is the variable number between 1 and 20.
* The problem with MSGPACK setting the message read pointers to the
highest message on the system has been fixed.
* The user's time limit is now checked when reading messages
continuously.
* QuickBBS will now clear the screen in between ever call (running
stand-alone).
* The bug with QuickBBS kicking anybody off at midnight has been
corrected. (I hope!)
* More verbose error information has been added to the ERRORS.LOG
file.
* A new utility is included called CHKMSG. If will make sure your
message files are in order and match up. If there is an error
detected, an attempt will be made to fix it.
