ChkDOBBS Version Update - 1.0 To 1.5; What's New?
Since 1.0, I've discovered that my sample EXEBBS.BAT wasn't working. The
reason:
...
CALLWC.BAT
...
This was the original statement, it now reads:
...
CALL CALLWC.BAT
...
Note that it NOW returns to EXEBBS.BAT -after- executing Wildcat. So make sure
you load FrontDoor back up right after that statement.
Reviewing the Wildcat 3.0 manual, "Features In Depth", I've discovered that
when an error correcting connection exists the correct parameter is "MNP",
and not "/MNP". This was causing Wildcat to count ChkDOBBS's "/MNP" as an
invalid parameter. This is now fixed.
Lastly, the Event Control function in ChkDOBBS is didn't work. Until the next
release, the Event Control function has been temporarily removed from ChkDOBBS.
Besides those bugs, I've just changed the "status dot" to ASCII 16. You might
have noticed the status dot when your screen read:
(DOT) Reading DOBBS.BAT...
or
(DOT) Writing CALLWC.BAT...
The dot is now ASCII 16, this character:
I think I have corrected all bugs in version 1.0, and hope that all problems
are hereby resolved. The one other thing that has changed, is where to get
support for ChkDOBBS. I had been referring users to a local board, where I
could log on and read my messages. Since I've been writing my own BBS
software, which I am planning to sell or release (haven't decided), all
questions, comments, and suggestions can now be directed to:
UnixPC Development Site

USRobotics Courier HST Dual Standard
(14.4K HST, 14.4K V.32bis)

You are welcome to call with any communications package, we do support ANSI,

Thank you for your interest in ChkDOBBS v1.5, and I hope you enjoy it!
