-
- ■ Release Date - Version Number ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 05-07-94 - v3.1 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Ok, so to err is human, to really screw up requires a
- computer, right? I screwed up (humched over sigh), but
- fixed things this time... Thanks for the quick report
- Mark.
-
- The blank conferences are being removed properly now,
- they were before, but not in enough places.
-
- - Also fixed a QEMM exception 13 error if your net names
- were longer than 60 chars. (minus the NETxx=)
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 05-04-94 - v3.0 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Well, I fineally opened my eyes on this release, I fixed the
- DIVIDE ERROR, and also used the correct format to check for
- blank conferences (was using the wrong structure.)
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 05-02-94 - v2.9 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Fixed the Blank conference problem.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 04-11-94 - v2.8 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - No bugs seem to be comming up any more, but I did feel sorry
- after my fit of rage and removed the display of the sysop's
- name from the software. You can still view this, simply type
- "P" from the conference listing screens to get Program Info.
- Please read the note at the bottom of the .doc file for info
- on this. It does madden me to see people stealing shareware.
-
- - You asked, you got, added the blank conference name skip
- feature. DCM will now skip any conferences with blank names.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 03-28-94 - v2.7b ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Fixed a minor bug in the code, no biggie, but requires a
- minor re-release.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 03-27-94 - v2.7 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Added a proper screen clear if RIP mode is currently on. This
- should solve most RIP problems. Thanks to Chuck Valecek!
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 03-03-94 - v2.6 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Added a net DCM.CFG file switch - "NODELAY". By adding this
- to a line in the DCM.CFG file, you will suppress any requirements
- for keyboard input from the "Press Any Key" prompts.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 02-30-94 - v2.5 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Added the color screens you ased for in local EXE file
- execution.
-
- - Fixed a small display bug, not biggie.
-
- - Added min. security levels for each network. This allows
- lower level users not to be able to view a network if you
- don't wish them to. Use the new "REQLEVELx=nnn" commands;
- see the docs for a description. DCMSB is the file displayed
- for level breaches.
-
- - DCM is now smart enough to check if you forgot to enter the
- command line, and if so, it will look into your environment
- for the proper path to PCBOARD.DAT, if it was previously set.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 02-16-94 - v2.4 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Added better EMS and DOS version checking, as you will see.
-
- - Added better reporting on errors.
-
- - Fixed a problem with a record size being corrupt (wrong data type)
-
- - Now display a little more info for the sysop to see.
-
- - Decided to add some nice screen displays to DCM (later release)
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 02-14-94 - v2.3 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Speeded up the sorting process dramatically.
-
- - Fixed a bug in the defineable color codes (Thanks Stephanie!)
-
- - EMS memory is now verified before written to / read from. Not
- a real reason for this, but there was no speed decrease, so -
- Why Not?
-
- - Began work on the windows version of DCM.EXE. (Be Patient!)
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 02-11-94 - v2.20 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Major Upgrade
-
- - Removed the use of PCBoard's Toolkit Library. We're sick
- of needing to report bugs. (PCBoard and the Toolkit are
- Copyrights of Clark Development Co.)
-
- - Changed DCM's code to allow for UNLIMITED networks AND
- UNLIMITED conferences (ANYWHERE!) Restricted only by your
- available amount of EMS memory (the more, the better!)
-
- - DCM.EXE now requires that you have EMS available for it's work
- space. You need 1 page (16,384 bytes of EMS) to process up to
- 960 conferences. If this memory is not available you will not
- be able to run the program. REMEMBER - the PPE does not need
- EMS, so do not worry - the EXE file is the only EMS dependent
- portion, and you only run it once! (Offline too!)
-
- - Changed the DCM.PPE to handle the new way files are worked.
- Nothing major.
-
- - Note, thanks to Mike Labbe (ENC BBS) we have tested DCM with
- about 7000 conferences. The sorting takes a little while,
- but it is proven to work just fine. We're speeding up the
- sort now...
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 02-04-94 - v2.11 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Fixed a bug that would lockup if you had a large number of
- conferences. Special thanks to Mike Labbe for helping to
- resolve the problem.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 02-02-94 - v2.10
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Removed the need for output file declaration in the CFG file.
-
- - Fixed a bug when joining conference 0 (It now abandons.)
-
- - Added support for up to 30,000 conferences max.
-
- - Sped up code over 1000%.
-
- - Reduced .EXE and .PPE size considerably.
-
- - Added a better type of (A)ll conferences display file.
- Now all the conferences are actually combined together,
- reguardless of network.
-
- - Added support for a Printer-Ready text file for users
- to be able to download and print your complete conference
- list.
-
- - Added a Flag command for users to be able to flag the
- printer-ready text file through the PPE.
-
- - Added On-Line Help for the PPE's commands, and to allow
- the user to find out what the E, F, and P's were next
- to the conference names.
-
- - DCM will now work with a system containing NO networks,
- thus the sysop only defines NET1= anc C1= in the CFG file.
- the whole network screen is thus skipped.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ■ 01-20-94 - v2.00 ■
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Updated DCM to fix a problem with the SORT feature.
-
- - Also added support for up to 20,000 conferences PER NET,
- depending upon available memory - any problems, please call
- us voice...
