----
*) General Public Interim release. I decided to release this version
prior to releasing 2.00 because there are some things I want to
add to 2.00 which will delay the release of it. This release
gets all of the current new stuff out to the public immediately.
1.53b
-----
*) General Cleanup
*) Added another VD Variable - @User_Name. This works exactly like
@UserName except the first and last name are separated by an
underscore. Thanks to Ken Givens for this idea.
Example: @UserName would be Ken Givens
@User_Name would be Ken_Givens
1.52b
-----
*) Added better processing to HITANYKEY function. It was not as
complete as it should have been.
1.51b
-----
*) Added support for 14400 carrier.
*) Fixed a bug which caused the user's SecLevel to be set to 0
if SecLevel was commented out.
1.50b
-----
*) Added two more VD Variables @VD_Date and @VD_Time. These will
translate into the current date and time from your system. See
section on VD_Variables and vd.cfg for usage examples.
*) Fixed the HITANYKEY stuff so it works on a LD exit.
1.48b
-----
*) Prior to this release, VD would read a blank line in your bad
number control file and compare it with the users phone number
which sometimes would cause VD to think it had found a match in the
bad number control file and notify the user thusly. This was not
really a bug as there are not supposed to be any blank lines in your
bad number control file however I fixed it anyway. Vd will now ignore
blank lines in your bad number control file.
1.47b
-----
*) Fixed an OLD feature which dictated that you must update SECLEVEL
in order to save changes. This had been partially fixed in that
the flags worked, but it reared it ugly head when I added the
UserComment and EditPhone descriptors. Unless you updated SecLevel
UserComment AND EditPhone would not work. This has been fixed.
Thanks Tom!
1.46b
*) Cleaned up ModemReset and ModemSuffix commands.
1.45b
-----
*) Added Support for 38400 baud.
1.44b
-----
*) Added the VALIDOOR environment variable. Set this to the path
where your vd.cfg file is located.
1.43b
-----
*) Cleaned up the FrontDoor style log generator.
*) Cleaned up ExitInfo structure support.
*) Added VDUEdit descriptor for VDUtil editor support. This
descriptor is not used by ValidOOR.
1.42b
-----
*) Added the UserPath descriptor to VD.Cfg file. ValidOOR does not
use this verb. It is there for some of the VD utilities like
VD_Pack and VD_Create.
1.40b
-----
*) Added Errorlevel 17 for beta copy expired. It is only valid in
beta releases.
*) Added Errorlevel 18 for the Twit User function key (F3).
1.39b
-----
*) Cleaned up the VDVariable Code and added a new function to
allow this to work better. VDVariables can now be placed
at the end of the line with no problems.
1.36b
-----
*) Fixed the ValidShell which was accidently turned off in 1.35b.
1.35b
-----
*) Moved the modem responses into the message window for
cleanliness.
*) Added a line to let the user know he was being disconnected
due to inactivity.
*) Fixed a bug which caused VD to hang if it was waiting for a
carrier when the date changed (midnight).
*) Fixed a bug in chat mode which caused the user to not see line
feeds on his terminal.
*) Added F5 function key to hang up (disconnect) the user
immediately and exit VD with an DOS Errorlevel 16.
*) Added a Begin run log entry.
*) Added the F10 Advertisement key.
1.33b
-----
*) Fixed a bug which caused the Long Distance Slots not to work
properly. I am surprised that this one was never reported to
me since it has been in the code from day 1.
*) Added DropDTR descriptor to vd.cfg. This tells VD to drop carrier
after program execution based on whether the call is
long distance or local. Usage as follows:
DropDTR ALL disconnect ALL callers
DropDTR LD disconnect long distance callers only
DropDTR Local disconnect local callers only
Comment it out altogether if you do not want VD to drop carrier
at all.
1.32b
-----
*) Added F4 function key and corresponding errorlevel 15 to
allow sysop to abort ValidOOR for whatever reason.
1.31b
----
*) Changed Look - new title screen with extended status.
Added 4 New Descriptors for colors which augment the
previous 4 that VD supported.
%
MessageForeGround 4
MessageBackground 0
StatusForeGround 1
StatusBackground 7
%
*) The WindowFrame descriptor is no longer used. It will be
ignored by VD if it is found in the config file.
*) Added UserComment Descriptor if you want ValidOOR to
update the comment field in Usersxi.bbs like this:
%
UserComment by ValidOOR @Version User Verification System
%
Note that UserComment also supports VD Variables.
*) Dropped LDstart and LDStop config Descriptors in favor
of one descriptor which takes care of both functions.
LDSlotDefault is the supported descriptor and uses this
format:
%
LDSlotDefault <starttime> <endtime>
%
So the following:
%
LDStart 2301
LDStop 0700
%
would now become:
%
LDSlotDefault 2301 0700
%
*) Added new LD Slot Dialing mechanism which allows you
to have 1 default slot for LD dialing as well as a
slot for any or all days of the week. The example
below would have a slot for Saturday, Sunday, and a
default slot which would be in effect for the rest of
the week.
%
LDSlotDefault 2301 0700
LDSlotSat 0000 2359
LDSlotSun 0000 1630
%
1.29b
----
*) Added ValidShell descriptor to vd.cfg file which allows the
sysop to run up to 10 different shells after a user is validated.
The shells can use VDVariables as replaceable parameters. See vd.cfg
for complete description/example of usage.
VD Variables are: @UserName - User's full name
@Password - User's password
@Version - current vd version
