- History File for InTeleCharge Credit Card Door
- ==============================================
-
- Version 1.8
- -----------
- (12-22-92)
- InTeleCharge now returns a DOS errorlevel equal to the Security Level
- chosen by a caller when s/he Subscribes to your BBS. Please check under
- MISCELLANEOUS in CHARGE.DOC for a full explanation.
-
- Fixed an error when deleting mulitple items before processing the order.
-
- (12-21-92)
- Added a check for unprocessed order files when the door loads. This could
- happen when a previous caller has placed an order and dropped carrier before
- entering his card info. So now if the door finds one of those files it will
- be deleted.
-
- (12-18-92)
- Changed the -1, no expiration date, for PCBoard to display in the door
- as 'Unlimited'.
-
- (12-15-92)
- Moved the Levels and Subscription lengths out of the .CFG into the
- SUBSCRIB.DAT file. The Level/Days are now placed in the second field where
- Manufacturer used to be. You MUST edit your existing SUBSCRIB.DAT file and
- add this info. I just know this is gonna generate tons of complaints from
- those of you who don't read the doc files!
-
- Added a prompt for disk size preferred when ordering Shareware products.
- When you re-create your .CFG file, you will be prompted for the Disk
- Sizes you can handle. For example: 360K/720K/1.2M/1.4M
- Whatever you enter here is included in the Disk Size Preferred prompt
- inside the Door when someone orders a Shareware product.
-
- (12-14-92)
- Added a CONFIGURATION option to the UTILITY menu. Choose this option when
- creating or changing the CHARGE.CFG file. New with this version is a
- separate documentation file for the UTILITY (UTILITY.DOC).
-
- ======================================================================
- NOTE: YOU MUST RE-CREATE YOUR CHARGE.CFG BEFORE USING THIS VERSION!!!!
- ======================================================================
-
- InTeleCharge will now write a text file when someone orders either a
- BBS Subscription or a Shareware registration. This text file lists the
- purchasers Name, Address, Phone, Item purchased and the Price. And for
- Shareware orders, the Disk Size is also included.
-
- (12-13-92)
- Added the ability to DELETE a record from SUBSCRIB.DAT and SHARWARE.DAT in
- the UTILITY program. While in EDIT mode, pressing F2 allows you delete the
- current record showing on the screen.
-
- Changed the 'NOT FOR DISPLAY' message when the caller is entering his
- credit card info to 'NOT FOR DISPLAY ON THE LOCAL MONITOR'. And once again
- I reiterate - THE SYSOP CANNOT SEE THE CREDIT CARD INFO BEING ENTERED!!!!
- It ain't a bug, it's a feature!
-
- (12-08-92)
- InTeleCharge now updates the Level on all supported BBS drop files, except
- one, when offering BBS Subscriptions. However, only PCBoard's USERS file and
- DOOR.SYS are updated with the new Expiration date. (Those are the only two
- that have the Expiration date in their drop files!)
- Read the NOTES under Configuration Files in CHARGE.DOC for more info.
-
- (12-06-92)
- Changed the code so that InTeleCharge displays in color, regardless of
- the BBS color mode. The color mode is set back to the way it was when the
- door ends. This is because, in non-color mode, the highlight is lost on
- the scroll bar menus and the caller can't see which item is selected.
-
- Changed all the square brackets on the prompts to parentheses to comply
- with international high-ASCII standards.
-
- InTeleCharge now supports the entry of international high-ASCII characters
- at all the input prompts.
-
- Version 1.7
- -----------
- (12-03-92)
- Had some reports that callers were getting confused about the 'Register
- this Door' selection so that has been changed to 'Visiting Sysops - Register
- InTeleCharge'. Hopefully they will know if they are a visiting Sysop or not!
-
- Removed 'Process Current Orders' option from the Main Menu since it isn't
- needed. So now you must process your orders via the CHARGE CHARGE.CFG LOCAL
- command line option.
-
- (12-02-92)
- Fixed a bug that was introduced with the changes in the UTILITY program.
- The new one does not insert carriage returns and line feeds while you are
- entering your descriptions and I neglected to allow for that when
- displaying so it was printing one line and anything after 80 characters
- just piled up on the edge of the screen.
-
- Version 1.6
- -----------
- (11-29-92)
- Changed the routine that writes the BBS file to accept as is only letters
- and numbers. Anything else gets changed to an underscore. That should solve
- any conflict with DOS file naming conventions.
- Added some info to the screen when placing an order. It now notifies them
- that they will be asked for their credit card info when they select Q]uit.
- Hopefully that will clear up any confusion as to what is happening.
-
- (11-27-92)
- Vastly improved the UTILITY.EXE program. It now has full editing
- capabilities.
-
- (11-26-92)
- Added the ability to update a users expiration date in PCBoard when
- charging a Subscription. This requires an addition to the .CFG file. After
- each level entry, add a / plus the number of days to add to their expiration
- date. For Example:
- 30/90 <- This gives them level 30 and adds 3 months to expiration
- 40/180 <- This gives them level 40 and adds 6 months to expiration
- 50/365 <- This gives them level 50 and adds 1 year to expiration
- 110/-1 <- This gives them level 110. The -1 means no expiration date.
- If their expiration date has already passed, the new expiration will be the
- number of days from the current date. Otherwise their new expiration will be
- tacked on to their present expiration date.
- NOTE: You MUST be using USERS.SYS to update Level and Expiration Dates!
-
- Version 1.5
- -----------
- (11-25-92)
- Fixed a problem when writing the BBS file that gets sent to InTeleSys.
- Overlooked the fact that there are spaces in the BBS name! So the spaces are
- now converted to underscores.
-
- Added the code to handle non-USA/Canada orders. When they enter OT for the
- State code, they are prompted for their Country. And for the Phone they are
- asked for their Country Code plus Number.
-
- (11-24-92)
- Installed a limit of 3 tries on the Credit Card number entry. If they don't
- get it right, the entry routine is aborted and returns to the main menu.
- Previous versions wouldn't accept a Canadian ZIP code. That has been fixed.
-
- (11-23-92)
- Cleaned up some cosmetic blemishes.
- Added credit card entry to CHARGE.LOG when ordering InTeleCharge.
- Made some changes when saving the credit card number so we don't lose any
- of those zeroes!
- Fixed a bug in the Scroll menu routines. If you had more than 15 entries,
- it would not allow you to scroll down on the first column past the number
- of entries in the second column.
