- This document covers new features added for RATS 2.10 public gamma
-
- Complete NEW documentation will be included with RATS 2.20 which will be
- released shortly.
-
-
- - Supports up to 255 nodes on the command line in order to function properly
- with RA/Pro (250 Node) version
-
- - RMU and RATS now support JAM message bases.
-
- - RMU will now work with ALIAS's (Handles) with RA 2.xx only. Simply include
- a /A on the commandline. If you are not using RA 2.xx but are using aliases
- on your system (in RATS) then you may put a /SkipDelete on the commandline
- for RMU so it will NOT delete users who are not found in Users.BBS
-
- - If the user has RIP enabled, then RATS.RIP will be displayed to them when
- entering the Bank... This is the ONLY Rip support included at this time.
- RIP Mode is determined by the setting in ExitInfo.BBS as determined when
- the user logs onto the bbs. We have NOT included a RATS.RIP with this
- archive.
-
- - RMU no longer crashes if there are no users in the timebank.
-
- - Fixed Lottery Colors so they are assigned the correct default colors when
- RatsCfg is run for the first time.
-
- - If you get caught robbing another user, the police car now shows up .
-
- - Registered Mode allows posting the following messages:
-
- When RMU Forces Payments of loans it will write a message to that user
- telling them the payment was made.
-
- to the winner of the Daily lottery.
-
- to the winner of the Monthly lottery.
-
- A Public Message listing the daily lottery winner
-
- Message to a user when they get robbed, or when another user fails to rob
- them. If the other user fails, then it tells them who tried.
-
- Daily Message to the Sysop with bank statisctics.
-
- - Messages To the user when someone robs, or attempts to rob their account
- are now configurable. You may use any text editor to create these templates
- in the SAME directory as RATS.EXE.
-
- ATTEMPT.MSG will be used when the robbery is NOT successful
- ROBBED.MSG will be used when the robbery is successful.

- ANSI is handled internally by RATS now.

-
- - No longer attempts to access the com port when in local mode! This was
- causing problems with multi-tasking systems.
-
- - When set up from scratch, RATS would not correctly add the first user to
- the data files, and would give a runtime error. This has been fixed!
-
- - RATS - If a user pays back TOO MUCH time or kbytes, it was screwing up
- and saying they owe a rediculous amount. Fixed.
-
- - RATPAY - If a user pays back TOO MUCH time or kbytes, it was screwing up
- and saying they owe a rediculous amount. Fixed.
