v 4.1 08/29/92
+ Added new features, thus, the .cfg file changed again :-( EXISTING
verifix users must run the enclosed file CVT4-401 to convert .cfg
file from version 4.0 to 4.01...
+ Added 3 new fields (options) in vconfig.
1. Specify the sysops name, so postmaster can send a message to that
name instead of hard coded "SYSOP" name.
2. Relation call back. This is a Yes or No toggle. If you select
no, verifix works just like before. BUT if you select yes, verifix
will call back the user at a number that has already been called.
Makes it easier to verify a son, wife, etc...
3. You can upgrade a long distance user without calling them back!
This is a neat feature :-). If you specify long distance as a N or
you are calling long distance, but only certain times of the week,
selecting a Yes in this field will upgrade the user and send them
a message without the call back. Saves you a long distance call, AND
you don't have to manually upgrade the user. BTW there is another
display screen because of this feature, it is called AUTOUP.BBS
+ Added non standard com port addressing and custom IRQs for the
download protocol DSZ. Before verifix would only shell out and call
DSZ with standard parameters.
+ The log files have changed format. This is to make it easier to
follow, and to accommodate the new log trimming utility trimvfx.exe
+ New utility has been added! TRIMVFX.EXE trims the log files verifix
creates. It trims VALIDYES.xxx, VALIDNO.xxx, and LONGDIST.LOG.
Helps keep your log files down to a minimum size. Run it as an
event.
+ Verifix is now more multi-node capable. Added new environment
variables to make it easier for each node of wildcat to run
independent of the other nodes.
! Fixed a NASTY bug! If VERIFIED.NBS was not found, verifix would not
go through its algorithms to find out if the user was calling long
distance or not. Thus, it would put a 1-area code onto a number,
even if it was your neighbor calling from across the street. Also
because of this, the CALLBACK.BBS screen was never being displayed.
Fixed.
! If you did not create the custom MESS.USR file, when verifix sent the
default message to the user, it would not change back to the verifix
subdirectory, thus not displaying any color screens. Fixed.
! The area code was not being added to certain long distance numbers.
This would happen if you lived in one area code and you had other
area codes local to you. Fixed.
