- .· You may love me or hate me for this, but I got rid of the support
- to make a whole bulletin menu. There's no weird "Bulletin List File"
- anymore; there's now just ONE config file where you type in the
- filename of ONE bulletin to display. This program went way off
- from what I originally wanted it to be - An easy-to-setup little
- program that'll display an ANSI or ASCII to the user. That's all,
- and that's what it is now. I fear that the previously weird setup
- has already scared off a lot of sysops.
- If you really want to make a whole bulletin menu, there are many
- programs out there that will simulate a door menu, which you can
- run Fake Bulletin off of in each menu choice.
- .· The keyboard input timeout STILL wasn't always working properly.
- It's fixed this time.
- .· If the time rolled past midnight while a user was in the door it
- would give the user 24 hours of time left and disable the keyboard
- input timeout feature until the user pressed a key, therefore
- allowing the user to sit there doing nothing for eternity. Fixed.

- .· The keyboard input timeout wasn't always working properly. Fixed.
- .· The error handling has been improved. A mistyped command line
- will now result in an error screen explaining the correct syntax.
- .· It was ignoring the user's time remaining set in the config file
- and instead only read it from the dropfile. It will now set the
- time remaining in the door to the value defined in the config
- file if it isn't 0 and if it's less than the time remaining in
- the dropfile.
- .· I had forgotten to include the samples.zip file in version 1.0.
- It's now included. I apologize for the mishap.
