- Versions:
- 6.1
- Added mixture of tasker pause and loop cycles in Ripdetect and read char
- to give a smoother response.
-
- 6.2
- Missed Done Routine in 6.1 - now doesn't close if local or X00extOK
- but buffered flag is set to true.
- There was a file being written to when door timed out. Some OS2 systems
- complained of endless pages being written to their disk. I'm taking this
- out this version. So if you have a use for it save it and put it back in.
-
- 6.3
- Wrong-O I guess a lot of you are using this file so I'm putting it back in.
- Added /C to specify comport on command line. Dropfile comport number will
- override this option.
-
- 6.4
- Cleaned up the multi-tasker routines to allow easier flag passage to other
- units. Added SpeedRead which can be used in other units for a timed input
- response loop or propeller.
-
- 6.5
- Added /V command line parm that to turn local video off (actually to statback
- color). Purge fossil buffer added to XFossil initialization.
- Added /W flag. This just differentiates between straight dos systems and
- those without multitaskers running on novell or other network. This is so
- our tasker checker can give up time slices or just delay. Which is important
- only when using the delay in waiting for file locks to unlock.
-
- 6.6
- Added /M command for multi ctl file handling. This will be released around
- the time of the DDSetup Universal door setup program.
- (Remember for this to function make your control/config file name less than
- 7 characters in length). Lasted less then a week. Fixes and new things
- in this version:
-
- New Things and Fixes by Steven R. Lorenz 11.18.94
-
- 1. IRQs 0-15 now supported. Comports 1-4 supported. Required change in
- ASYNC.asm (called SLASYNC here).
- Selectable Port Addresses added to .CTL file so sysop doesn't have to
- have a bunch of if 'nodex == 1 goto xxx' in his doorx.bat.
- 2. DV aware routines. Use examples as guide to installation.
- a. DV_Pause added to sreadch to make DV work more smoothly.
- 3. High speed BBS modem vs lowspeed user modem problem of lost characters -
- (basically RTS/CTS checking) - Fixed
- 4. Carrierdetect during sendchar. Fixed
- 5. Rip detect. Or WC3.9 or PCBoard15.0 dropfile driven.
- 6. Fast and correct ansi color routines.
- 7. PCBoard 15 support
- 8. Rip Detect or found on WC3.9+ or PCB15 dropfiles
- 9. TriBBS dropfile support (untested)
- 10.RBBS vs Super BBS Dorinfo types supported
- 11.Lock baud and comm baud rates to 115,200
- 12.Windows,WindowsNT,OS/2,DOS 5.0+ time slice releasing.
- A Dos,Win, DV pause is taken after so many read cycles in read loop
- 13.fossil support to 38,400 using normal fossil calls.
- fossil support to 115,200 using X00 extended fossil calls.
- Use XFossil for any fossils (X00 or BNU) over 38,400. This option does
- not open or close the fossil but meerly writes to it the way it is.
- 14.No-local video mode can save processing in multitasking windows or to
- give some user privacy when competing in game against the sysop.
- 15.Multiple control files can now be accessed by a command line parm.
-
- 6.7
- The current package with greatly expanded documentation and many additional
- items to include the new DDPlus setup program.
