- What is new in BIRTH_RA 2.01? Not much!
-
- * Fixed the DATE format problem. I was mistaken to assume that RA
- stores the date in the user record in the same format the
- user chooses when they first logon.. it is in the MM-DD-YY format
- regardless of what date format the user chooses. So.. Now the program
- reads the birthdate correctly if you use other date formats!
- (United States Sysops will not notice this problem..)
-
- + Adds an ANSI code for CLEAR DISPLAY at the beginning of the ANSI
- display. I have noticed that RIPterm does not always clear screen
- with an RA clear screen code.. This might help! :)
-
- What is new in BIRTH_RA 2.0??? Plenty!!
-
- + BIRTH_RA will now POST a message to a user on his/her birthday! If
- you are upgrading from version 1.20, you must include the following
- lines in your configurtion file (BIRTH_RA.CFG):
-
- |- The Below are Comments, do not include in file-|
- SYSOP_NAME=Fozzy Bear <- Name of the Sysop
- DO_GREETINGS=Y <- Whether to post Birthday Greetings <Y>es or <N>o
- GREET_FILE=C:\RA\HAPPY.TXT <- The name of the TEXTFILE containing the Greeting
- MESSAGE_PATH=C:\RA\MSGBASE <- The PATH to the Hudson Message Base Files
- GREETING_BOARD=1 <- The HUDSON Board Number to post the Greeting
-
- The message posted will be PRIVATE and LOCAL.
-
-
- + BIRTH_RA also creates a DAILY Listing of Birthdays in addition to the
- MONTHLY list and COMPLETE Listing! You need to include the following
- line in the BIRTH_RA.CFG file to utilize this function:
-
- DAILY_LIST=c:\dailybir <- The path\filename of the DAILY LISTING!
-
-
- + BIRTH_RA now can handle MULTIPLE CONFIGURATION FILES!
- The syntax is:
-
- BIRTH_RA <configuration file name>
- i.e. BIRTH_RA FOZZY.CFG
-
- If you run BIRTH_RA without a configuration file name, the program
- will search for "BIRTH_RA.CFG" in the current directory as before.
- The above example will search for "FOZZY.CFG".
-
- + BIRTH_RA has Multiple Pre-Set Color schemes when creating your
- configuration file. The Schemes are Default, Spring, Summer, Fall,
- and Winter. You can still design your own schemes as before.
-
- * The program will now generate an ALPHABETIZED Total Birthday Listing.
- The previous version merely listed the users in order of appearance
- in the USERS.BBS file. This would allow users to see the "relative"
- security settings between users.. I thought I could do better.. so
- I did.
-
- * The BIRTHDAY listings are now reformatted with centering of the
- listing on the screen.. Looks better to me as well! :)
-
- + The program now has an "UNREGISTERED EVALUATION COPY" in the heading
- of each birthday listing to encourage REGISTRATION of this fine
- product. ;) After registration, you will receive a key via netmail
- to remove this line and replace it with a "REGISTERED TO: <system
- name>"
-
-
- What is new in Birth_ra 1.20??
-
- + Expanded choice of colors from 15 forground colors to
- 128 foreground/background color combinations!
- (Enclosed is CLRCHART.ZIP; Color Chart and docs)
- + Added ability to list users based on GROUP NUMBER.
- ("ALL" in BIRTH_RA.CFG will display all groups in the
- birthday listings!)
-
-
- What is FIXED in BIRTH_RA 1.20??
-
- * ansi/ascii birthday listings now display from very top of screen,
- not the second line down.
-
- What is new in Birth_ra 1.10??
-
- + The ENTIRE BIRTH_RA.CFG file.. DELETE THE OLD ONE!!
- + Sysop Configurable Colors
- + Choice of Handle or Real Name in listings
-
