Version 2.18 [4-29-93]
Another general bug fix. /INVITE, /UNINVITE, and /TOPIC commands
have been added.
Version 2.17 [2-17-93]
Basically, I cleaned up v2.16. I was reading the wrong byte from
NODEINFO.DAT, so the local keyboard is always off except on local
nodes. I fixed the file sharing, and file locking. File locking
should work now. I re-structured my program internally even more.
Note... I may have forgotten to document some changes, I forget
about many little bug fixes.
o Added a few more help screens.
o The bad users list has been added.
o The /RECORD command for SysOps has been added.
o The rooms have been changed quite a bit.
o The message system has been fixed, there shouldn't be any more
dumping of the entire chat file, or "phantom" messages from old
chats appearing.
o The Language Filter has been improved slightly.
o The /PAGE command had a tiny little bug which I fixed.
(That is the under-statement of the year)
o The /TIME command was not subtracting the time a user has been
in the door from the user's total time limit, thus is would
display the same thing every time.
o Whispering can be accomplished with a partial user-ID if there
is only one user that matches the partial user-ID.
o The /MEM command has been expanded to display critical WildChat
system variables. Also, it's a lot nicer looking.
o The /HAIL command has been added for SysOps. It will send a
message to another node, and if the other node is awake, a
response will be sent back. Very useful for testing if a node
is crashed, or if a user is asleep.
Version 2.16 [2-1-93]
This was such a major update, most of these changes won't make
any sense unless you give the new release a try and see them
for yourself...
o Small changes to internals and some data structures
o Fixed Time/Date Handling
o Changed /GIVETIME
o Fixed NO CARRIER and FORCED
o Removed WILDCHAT.RMS
o Changed a few colors/text
o Added more action commands
o Safe-guarded the DTR control so it won't run on local nodes
o Added the Gender Coloring

o Messages can be recieved while in the middle of typing a line.
o Removed "Echo" option from configuration
o Changed help system
o Added /n# whispering
o Added /IGNORE, /UNIGNORE
o REAL Error handling now implemented
o Added DesqView support

o Added SEMI-ROOMs
o Added /ROOM
o Added inter-room paging
o Added /BROADCAST
o Added SYSOPS.LST
o Added /ZAP, /DROP, /EVAC, /CLEAR, /HIDE, /DEBUG, /SNEAKOUT
Version 2.15 [1-8-93]
o When running on a FOSSIL driver, an unlimited number of COM ports are
supported.
Version 2.14 [12-21-92]
o I added support for FOSSIL drivers.
o If WCHOME doesn't exist, WildChat will try to read HOMEPATH. I haven't
tested this. I added this per request of one SysOp. I don't know how
useful it is, but it's there anyway.
Version 2.13 [11-7-92]
o I botched the last release and this is the fix.
Version 2.12 [11-5-92]
o Changed the keyboard/modem input routines to filter out lower-ASCII
characters. No more beeps and clear screens, guys.
Version 2.11 [10-19-92]
o General Maintenence Release.
Version 2.10 [8-27-92]
o Added the @SEX@ codes to the action commands. They are used
to place a "his" or "her" into the action command text.
o Added the "Sex" field to the configuration menu.
o The door no longer will lock a user out for a day if the
user runs out of time.
Version 2.09 [8-7-92]
o Added optional full file locking. See documentation for
more details.
o Fixed the user-ID assigning code to use up to 16 characters.
o Now displays a warning when user has only five minutes left
in the door.
o Logging is now optional.
o Corrected my mis-spelling of Tom Tcimpidis's name in the
documentation.
o Fixed the screen pause when displaying MAINHELP.BBS and
CFGHELP.BBS.
o Added TUTORIAL.BBS and ALLALONE.BBS. See documentation for
details.
o Added "Are you sure" prompt to configuration menu.
o Added more mis-setup checking.
o Changed the paging system a little bit to allow multiple pages
to a user on the BBS.
Version 2.08 [7-24-92]
o Minor bug fixes. Just a little bit of clean-up.
Version 2.07 [7-21-92]
o Changed the error handling a little bit.
o Fixed a bizarre error with file sharing which so far has only
occured on one system.
o Disabled all the action command codes except @SUB@ and @SUB1@ in
the demo version.
Version 2.06 [7-16-92]
o /ACTIONS can be used as /ACTION, or /A.
o The /ACTIONS listing lists action commands in four columns.
o The /ACTIONS listing will pause every 20 lines.
o Action Command text can be 80 characters, and the command
key-word can be 15 characters.
o More example action commands included!
o When configuring a user-ID, the user-ID is checked with the
language filter.
o The /TIME command now properly returns the correct amount of
time left.
o The /GIVETIME command was added. Now users can give time to
another user, subtracting the amount given from their own
time limit.
*** The Action Command parser has been nearly completely redone.
Sorry, but the @OBJECT@ codes no longer exist. I had to
do this because the code I did before was too limited.
Version 2.05 [7-14-92]
o Added a new line in WILDCHAT.CFG to specify if the status line
is on or off. MONOCHROME SYSTEMS REQUIRE THE STATUS LINE OFF!
Version 2.04
o Added the "NOERROR" command switch for my own uses in helping
you guys debug problems with WildChat.
Version 2.03
o The "--->" prompt can be backspaced over.
o Nodes that are down aren't listed in the /USERS listing.
Version 2.02
o @OBJECT@ code added to make more flexible action commands.
o Added more screen displays for help in debugging.
