- Completely restructured the error handler to avoid system
hanging when a file may be missing.
- Also added feature to use ANSI or attribute holiday screens
in the same program.
- Added the ability to use both attribute and ANSI screens for
screen swapping on non holidays at same time.
- Added the option to add your own holidays.
- Added the option of turning holidays on and off without having
to remove them from directory.
- If you read anywhere that you can add up to 1000 screens on
non-holiday days, this was a typo and supposed to be 100. Look
for 1000 screens to be in major update to version 2.0.
History of CalCat!
- Version 1.0 Started out just as a small rotation program with only
8 of the major legal holidays. That included New Years,
Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Fourth
of July, Halloween, and Memorial Day.
- Version 1.1 Added extra holidays here and there. At this point
the program was still only being used on my own BBS
and I decided to make it better and offer it as shareware.
- Version 1.2 This was the major change of the program. I added 11 more
holidays, created a user document, and created the program
that configures the .CFG file. (CCFIG.EXE) I thought it
was now ready to be circulated so it did.
- Version 1.3 No major changes. This was a bug fixing version. When I
had finished with version 1.2 I had accidentally swapped
two lines around in the source which was a fatal mistake.
The program aborted unless by CHANCE your two paths were
the same. All this was fixed and looks good.
- Version 1.4 No real major changes. Had help rewriting the document
files and finished the beta testing on a Twin Cities BBS
called Back Draft BBS. All goes well. Also added the
Wildcat description files, DESC.SDI.
- Version 1.5 Skipped this release because it was for my purposes only.
- Version 1.6 Major restructuring of the holiday finding algorithm. The
old version proved to be not so reliable. My brother Chad,
who programs for a living, wrote me a new holiday finding
algorithm that proved to 100% reliable through thorough
testing. Also, with new algorithm, it will find a holiday
regardless of the year, my old one was only good until 1994.
(This excludes Easter related holidays. See above) On this
update I also added 4 more holidays. See above ver1.6
release information. Also, on registered versions I took
off the credits line that is written on the swapped screen.
Obtained first legal copyright.
- Version 1.7 This is exactly the same as version 1.6, however this is for
registered users who want to use ANSI instead of Wildcat
@ color codes. This was due to popular demand.
- Version 1.8 Added 25 more known and unknown holidays. This will bring
the total number of holidays to 62. Look for even more in
the future. Obtained legal copyright on upgrade version.
- Version 1.9 This will be the ANSI version of version 1.8. Has not been
completed.
- Version 2.0 Read the top of this release document!!
Registration is well under the industry standard and is only $7.00.
If you'd like to register this software:
(1) I will send you a version that does not expire and that takes the
credits off the swapped screen.
(2) Makes you eligible to receive upgrades to newer versions for free.
(excluding price of disk and postage, sorry, I am a student..Broke)
