- Dynamic Verification System revision history
-
- REGISTERED DVS USERS: Please call Discovery BBS and load the
- KEYDOOR door program (Type KEYDOOR at main menu) to have a personalized
- DVS.KEY file made for you. This is an encrypted file that contains
- your registration information and is NEEDED for registered operation
- of DVS 1.0b3 and above.
-
-
- 01/12/92: Released as DVS10B4.ZIP, Beta 4
-
- - If a user entered 0 when at the Optional registration menu, DVS would
- indicate that 'Script not available'. Fixed.
-
- - Added another configuration file, 'MODEM.CFG', which now contains
- more configuration settings including command to send the modem BEFORE
- dial, dial string, command to send to modem AFTER session, and number
- of dial attempts to make at the given number. The format is as follows:
-
- MODEM.CFG
-
- AT&M4 Command to send before dialing - Blank = send nothing
- ATDT Dialing string - makes pulse ATDP possible
- ATM0H1 Command to send after session (take the modem off hook)
- 2 Number of dial attempts to make before giving up
-
- If this file does not exist, the defaults listed above will be used.
-
- - Added a new script possiblity for when a new user first enters DVS.
- If in REG.CFG a script's file name is listed as NEWREG.SCR, the user
- will automatically be placed into that script when the enter the door.
- For example, if REG.CFG contains the following:
-
- 3
- Sysop Access
- SYSOP.SCR
- 70
- 70
- 000000
- Adult Section Access
- ADULT.SCR
- 55
- 55
- 000000
- New User Questionnaire <- Auto new user script
- NEWREG.SCR
- 50
- 50
- 000000
-
- The third script (NEWREG.SCR) will be activated. In this example, as soon
- as a new user enteres DVS, they will be asked the questions in NEWREG.SCR,
- and the access listed in REG.CFG will be granted after callback verification.
- You could enter a low access level in DVS.CFG and a regular verified access
- level in REG.CFG (for the new user script) in order allow a security upgrade
- only after the user has filled out NEWREG.SCR in completion.
-
- - DVS is nearing release completion. There will be one more planned
- beta to test new DVSSETUP procedures. Please use the newest beta
- and report any problems you encounter as soon as possible.

- 01/05/92: Released as DVS10B3.ZIP, Beta 3
-
- - There was a problem in comparing time to determine if a number
- was available at that time. The midnight rollover was confusing
- the program and making any non-local number seem NOT AVAILABLE
- under most circumstances. Fixed.
-
- - Added KEY FILE support to registered DVS users, so they would not
- have to call in and download a full copy of DVS when an upgrade
- was released.

- 01/01/92: Released as DVS10B2.ZIP, Beta 2
-
-
-
- - Fixed a small problem in DVSSETUP that would create
- bad CFG files if options were left blank.
-
- - Added ability to 'ADD' a number of days to the expiration
- date in both normal verification and optional registration.
- The 'Expiration Date' entry in DVS.CFG and REG.CFG can now
- contain '+xxx' where xxx is the amount of days to add to
- the user's expiration date. For example, +30 would calculate
- what the date would be 30 days from the time of verification
- and make that date the user's expiration date.
-
- - Added a new option in DVS.CFG line 4 (Highest security level)
- to determine which security levels are allowed in the door.
- This should normally be the level you give to your new users,
- however unique configurations can be made with this option.
-
- - Added external registration door support. To activate this,
- create a batch 'EXTERNx.SYS' where x is the node number for
- any particular node. (Single node systems should use
- EXTERN1.SYS). When a user's number is not allowed at a particular
- time, they are shown the EXREG text file, and EXTERNx.SYS is
- renamed to EXTERNx.BAT and the door is terminated. To add
- an external registration door here, your VERIFY batch file
- to call dvs should look something like this:
- (Node 1)
- @ECHO OFF
- G:
- CD\PCB\DOORS\DVS
- DVS DVS.CFG G:\PCB
- IF EXIST EXTERN1.BAT EXTERN
- G:
- CD\PCB
- BOARD
-
- and EXTERN1.SYS might look like this:
-
- @ECHO OFF
- G:
- CD\PCB\DOORS\INSTAREG
- INSTAREG INSTAREG.CFG G:\PCB
- REN EXTERN1.BAT EXTERN1.SYS
- G:
- CD\PCB
- BOARD
-
- This way, instead of a caller being told that they're number is
- not allowed at this time, they will be told that they are going
- to enter an external registration door (via EXREG text file),
- EXTERN1.SYS is renamed to EXTERN1.BAT, and DVS is terminated.
- The verify batch file notices that EXTERN1.BAT file exists, and
- runs it (loading INSTAREG in this case). After INSTAREG is
- finished, EXTERN1.BAT is renamed back to EXTERN1.SYS, and PCBoard
- reloads.
-
- - Updated DVSSETUP to reflect configuration file changes
-
- - Worked on the documentation (New docs will be in the 1.0 release version)
