- --------------------------
-
- Purity 1.0 08/23/91 Initial Release of PURITY 500
-
- Purity 1.1 09/02/91 Fixed problem where scores and user aliases were
- not displaying properly.
-
- Purity 1.2 01/29/92 Added the ability for users to toggle their color
- settings. Fixed a possible conflict problem with
- WWIV BBSs. Worked on the overall looks of P500
- and added the PAROLE Software (c) notice to the
- game screen. Worked on speeding up some of the
- routines. Fixed a definite problem in creating
- the USR files. Wasn't stripping out certain
- characters that needed to be stripped out.
-
- Purity 1.3 05/19/92 Rewrote parts of the code to make P500 run a bit
- faster. Recompiled with the latest version of
- DoorFrame which in itself fixed a lot of little
- bugs.
-
- Purity 2.0 11/13/92 !!! MAJOR UPDATE !!!
- This release is written in MicroSoft's Visual
- Basic for DOS v1.0. (Professional Version).
- Purity 500 is now a stand-alone EXE program. You
- can throw that BRUN45 module away. <G> It has
- been compiled with the latest DoorFrame release
- which has undergone some major changes since the
- last release. The display routines are much
- faster than before. P500 no longer uses the .USR
- files in the "\USERS" directory. All user
- information is stored in a single database.
- Delete all the .USR and .NO files as there is no
- upgrade for them. The best approach is to do a
- completely new installation.
-
- I also fixed a major bug which could allow a user
- to tie up your BBS for hours. P500 now checks
- for idle time and returns the user to the BBS if
- the keyboard is idle too long.
-
- I have changed the bulletin routines. A user is
- only listed in the Bulletin 1 time now. No more
- multiple listings. A cuple fo small bugs in the
- bulletin have also been fixed to make the overall
- appearance a bit cleaner.
-
- Fixed the DOCs. I didn't know the things were
- that damn bad.
-
- Purity 2.5 5/1/93 !!!!! MAJOR UPDATE !!!!! CFG FILE CHANGE !!!!!
- Added two extra lines to the CFG file. Line #11
- specifies the type of color bulletins you wish to
- create.
-
- "WC" = Create WC!3.x color bulletins
- "PCB" = create PCBoard color bulletins
- "N" = create ANSI/ASCii bulletins
-
- Line #12 specifies if you wish to create a RIP
- graphic bulletin. Place "RIP" on this line to
- enable RIP and "N" to disable.
-
- Reworked the bulletin routines completely. They
- are much faster and more dependable. A special
- display for the users is drawn to the screen at
- the same time it is writing the bulletins to
- disk.
-
- P500 will automatically save the users place
- every 15 questions. Added the ability to view
- the instruction screen to the game menu instead
- of being separate.
