-=[ NOTES, Fixes, and additions ]=-
This will probably be the last release of a special Blue Wave conversion
utility. We will be releasing a genric convertor for use with any QBBS 2.7?
version door or utility. (Like QWK and File Doors).
Added the missing .BAT files from 4.0
Added special handling if FBOARDS.DAT or The .DIR file for a given area
doesn't exist.
resolved a reported runtime error 203
Added code to correct truncated connect rates (%8) when TAG gags on a long
user name.
Added the program SETDLK.EXE so the sysops can specify daily download K
limitations by S/L or Range of S/Ls (Enter 0 For everything to quit.)
Now maintains daily download K for later use with various File Doors, Such
as ACFILES.
Corrected Problems where the program would lock-up while doing either the
message or the file boards and the name contained a ^P0 color code. (actually
it was in an infinite loop)
Corrected a problem with AKAs where some AKAs where duplicated thus all the
first 10 were not passed to Blue Wave. (still only allowed a max of 10 AKAs
due to the QBBS limit of 10)
TAG2QBBS now checks the USERS.LST and USERS.BBS files to see if they have the
same number of users.. if it detects a difference it will rebuild the QBBS
related files so it will happen far less frequently for users online
This version supports forced private (new for TAG) and AKAs. Since
QBBS it's self only supports one primary and 10 AKAs that is the
limitation enforced by TAG2QBBS.
Please netmail me, if possible, with any problems you may have. Or you
can reach me via the TAG, TAGDOORS, TAGBETA, Or BLUEWAVE echos
OOOOOOPPPPPPSSSS!!
Made a BIG goof.. I accidental removed something that caused the Blue Wave
mail Door to update lastread pointers for the wrong user.. God that's
embarASSing!
Finally Fixed the problem with the 486 processors.. I don't want to talk about
it. |-)
Command line for TAG2QBBS now includes optional NOFILES parameter. If
used it will not create the list files (FILES.BBS, Etc.. See docs)..
This works nicely if you share the file system between nodes.
Fixed a couple of share problems (you may have not noticed)
Now doesn't write entire USER.BBS file if User isn't a New TAG user
TAG2BW now removes the EXITINFO.BBS file if found upon initialization..
this keeps a crash from allowing Users getting on as another
user.
Added a new switch to TAG2BW - NOOUT.. If this switch is used then none
of the user information is not output to the user or the screen. None
of the operating system is output anymore to remote either
(Detection of share, Windows, DesqView, OS2, Etc).
The user WILL still see the blurp about my BBS though.. Heh.. but after
all it is free |-)
The new command line is
TAG2BW %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 BWNODEDIR BBSDIR [NOOUT]
Of course the command line is case insensitive.
===========================================================================
Since this project started I have had one or two reports of problems with the
program running under certain versions of Desqview and Windows with DOS stacks
disabled.. We believe this is now taken care of but, since I could never
verify the problem with DesqView/X or my hardware, if you should have any
problems and you have the line STACKS= in your Config.Sys please Rem that line
out and see if it now functions. Then please contact me via netmail or either
of the TAG echos (TAG or TAGDOORS).
Also note that Anonymous posting areas are NOT supported and if you
allow user access to these areas they will see @User Name in the from
field.. the anonymous areas can be forced excluded via the BWUTILS
program.
