WARNING!.DOC
11-04-91
I'm sorry.
REHASH has been a real problem for me. Here we are, over a year after
v1.00 was released, and I'm still finding bugs. This is inexcusable for a
piece of software that can screw up your main RBBS users file.
v1.00 Sometimes wiped out half of the users file it was
processing, due to a bug in rehashing to a too-small file. Joe
Havlock pointed this one out to me.
v1.10 Fixed the v1.00 bug, and added a bug where users would be left in
the users file, even when they weren't supposed to hang around.
Actually, this was a blessing in disguise, since REHASH v1.10
barely had a clue as to how long it's been since a user was on the
system.
v1.21 Really deleted users that were supposed to be deleted, and even
learned to count days correctly! Unfortunately, this version
sometimes caused RBBS to create duplicate user entries, and to lose
users at random.
Needless to say, all of these problems are gone (I hope!), and v1.30 even
includes code to fix the problems that v1.21 created.
SysOps: If you have a REHASH version in your downloadable files area that's
not this version (v1.30), please delete it.
Sorry.
