- HISTORY FILE FOR 4 SQUARE
- =========================
-
- Version 2.3
- -----------
- Recompiled with new doorframe and door now runs in local mode.
-
- Version 2.2
- -----------
- This version recompiled because a new qbserial was put into doorframe and
- was probably the cause of some problems when using fossil drivers.
-
- NOTE: Ted Freeman died on July 13, 1993 and had asked that I continue his
- programs. They have all been added to the Livewire Collection of doors.
-
- Version 2.1
- -----------
- (06-22-93)
- It's here at last! This version now works with PCBoard/M. According to the
- current info I have, it also works with the Wildcat! IM version as well.
- let me know if you run into any problems on either of these two systems.
-
- Version 2.0
- -----------
- (03-14-93)
- Tweaked the ANSI detection routine some so hopefully those messages about
- no ANSI detected when it is actually there will go away.
-
- (02-09-93)
- Finally got around to expanding the COM port range. COM 0 thru 15 is
- now supported.
-
- (01-07-93)
- That old problem with the time expired when the Display was toggled off
- in PCBoard popped up again! Fixed one more time (gotta quit changing things).
-
- Version 1.9
- -----------
- (11-01-92)
- This Door now offers support for FOSSIL drivers! This new feature makes
- it compatible with most multi-port boards. If you wish to use a Fossil
- driver, rather than the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command
- line when running the Door. For example: 4SQUARE 4SQUARE.CNF /FD
-
- Version 1.8
- -----------
- (10-10-92)
- Had reports of conflicts when using non-standard IRQ's on Novell/Netware
- systems. Seems Novell also uses the / character on the command line so
- something went screwy somewhere. So I added the * (asterisk) which may be
- used instead of the / in case of a conflict. In other words, /%IRQ% and
- *%IRQ% will both work and are interchangeable.
-
- (09-25-92)
- It appears that different installations of PDS produces different versions
- of the BRT71EFR.EXE run-time module which aren't compatible with each other.
- Therefore, this Door is now compiled stand-alone. You no longer need to have
- the run-time module for this Door.
-
- (09-23-92)
- Fixed a bug when restoring the screen after Chat or Drop to DOS. It would
- generate an illegal function call whenever it hit a blinking character.
-
- We now have support for the 30-something line DOOR.SYS file as well as
- the 52-line one.
-
- Corrected some errors in writing the SFDOORS.DAT file. Specifically the
- COMPORT% and DAILY.BYTES.ALWD& variables.
-
- (09-11-92)
- Finally installed the screen restore when coming back from Chat or a Drop
- to Dos. It will now put the screen back like it was including anything typed
- at an input prompt. If you had entered anything before the interruption,
- that is restored and you can pick up right where you left off!
-
- Version 1.7
- -----------
- (09-04-92)
- You should notice a marked improvement in speed while displaying boxes
- and ANSI graphics.
-
- (08-27-92)
- This version is mainly a maintenance release to take advantage of new
- features and bug fixes in the DoorFrame door utility library that is used
- in compiling this door.
-
- Version 1.6
- -----------
- (06-24-92)
- Added direct support for the TriBBS software. TRIBBS.SYS is both read and
- written.
-
- Version 1.5
- -----------
- (05-25-92)
- If you are running under Wildcat!, this door now returns an Error Level
- of 1 when exiting and an Error Level of 62 for all other systems. Hopefully
- some of you can utilize these Error Levels when returning to the BBS.
-
- (05-15-92)
- We now have support for GT Power systems. The .CNF file is a little
- different for GT. The COM port goes on line 5 and the Node number goes on
- line 6. If you are a registered user of 4 Square then your registration
- number goes on line 7.
-
- Version 1.4
- -----------
- (04-18-92)
- If you are using a non-standard IRQ, you may use an environment variable
- instead of specifying the actual IRQ number. Syntax is:
- 4SQUARE 4SQUARE.CNF /%IRQ%
-
- Version 1.3
- -----------
- (03-19-92)
- 4 Square will now recognize the PCBoard %PCBDRIVE% and %PCBDIR%
- environment variables. For example, if your path to PCBOARD.SYS is
- C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS, you can use %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\PCBOARD.SYS instead
- and 4 Square will substitute the drive and directory. This allows multi-
- node systems to use just one 4SQUARE.CNF even if the paths are different
- for each node!
-
- Version 1.2
- -----------
- (03-07-92)
- A problem with determining the path for the graphics bulletin has been
- fixed.
-
- Changed from Quickbasic 4.5 to the BASCOM 7.1 compiler. Make sure you
- have a copy of BRT71EFR.EXE in your path!
-
- Version 1.1
- -----------
- Added the caller's time left to the input prompt.
-
- Version 1.0
- -----------
- Initial release.
