I thought the day would never come that I would be putting out an update - bug
fix doc file (ya, sure....). The day is upon us.
Date: Mar 22 / 92
Fixed : Crashed hard drive. Major set back!
Enhancements : Finished adding full support of ANSI colors in questionnaire.
Date Mar 23 /92
FIRST RELEASE PACKAGE FINALLY DONE !!
Date: Mar 24 / 92
Fixed : Questionnaire related oddities.
Enhancements : Added support for phone numbers in questionnaire.
Overlayed code for 15k reduction in memory usage. (JPDoor is a
real memory hog!)
Updated first release package (go figure....)
Date: Mar 25 / 92
Fixed : Screen restore coming out of SysOp initiated chat. Added clear screen
after chat also.
Enhancements : None of those, this time around.
Date: Mar 26 / 92
Fixed : excessive length of user name displayed on center line in chat. (caused
an over-run and forced line to spill over to sysop window.)
Enhancements: HOLY ADDITIONS BATMAN!! Added ability for sysop to define menu
keys. Defineable to 8 characters in length. Uses a feature I
enjoy calling "HOT-WORDS" meaning that if all commands are of
the same length, then no carriage return is required to activate
the commands. If any commands are shorter, then a carriage return
will be required to activate those commands ONLY. Done this way
to accomodate those wishing to stick with single "HOT" key input.
Added ability to have automatically generated passwords on "X"
number of days. Passwords are ALWAYS 8 characters in length, and
ALWAYS a random mix of alpha-numeric values. A zero field in the
SHUTTLE.CFG file will prevent generation of passwords totally.
NOTE !!!!! Due to automatic generation of passwords, I had to add a way to
NOTE !!! allow for the display of the "current" password, not just what it
NOTE ! may have "been" at the time the message to the user was created.
NOTE @ What I came up with was to use the ^ carat symbol in the body
of the message to the user which when encountered will translate
into the "CURRENT" system password. Use caution when writing your
message to the user as the password field WILL use 8 characters
and can really make a mess of your message if you aren't careful.
CURRENT SHUTTLE.CFG CONTENTS :
A1FG3CZD <----- Password as generated by TAG_SHUT
YES <----- Forced local logon via shuttle
NO <----- Still of no real use
10 <----- Max. time in door
2 <----- Max. idle time waiting for input
C:\BBS\DFILES <----- path to user.lst
Sysop <----- who to send NEW USER APPLICATION MESSAGE to
C:\BBS\EMAIL <----- where to put the new user message
New User Application <----- title of said New user message
READIT <----- password for user to read your reply
key1 <----- defines (L)ogon to system (requires password)
key2 <----- ' ' (F)ind out password for system
key3 <----- ' ' (A)pply for account on system
key4 <----- ' ' (C)hat with sysop
key5 <----- ' ' (R)ead message (non-members only)
key6 <----- ' ' (G)ood bye, leave system now
7 <----- number of days until new system password is
created. Valid entry here, 0 to 255 days.
BOY!!!!!!!!! WHAT A DAY THIS HAS BEEN.
Date Apr 5 / 92
Fixed : None of those, THIS time around.. Been busy with TAG Beta sites.
Enhancements : Added ability to read current SYSTEM password into Newuser.app
file using ^ symbol. Should be able to place it anywhere in the
newuser.app file and have it displayed correctly.
Date Apr 6 / 92
Fixed : Getting good. No fixes again.
Enhancements : Added ability to specify length of System password.
