- RBBS-Verify 1.01 Version History
- --------------------------------
-
- v1.01 - 07/93 - This release of RBBS-Verify corrects several minor problems
- present in v1.00 and also adds a few new features. The
- following is the changes and/or fixes with the release of
- RBBS-Verify v1.01:
-
- RBBS-Verify was not operating on some systems using RBBS-PC
- v17.3C and lower. Fixed.
-
- RBBS-Verify was generating a "fatal" error if a node number
- greater than 99 was specified on the command line. Fixed.
- RBBS-Verify now correctly supports up to a maximum of 99
- nodes.
-
- Removed the need to use the door patch utilities which
- were distributed with v1.00 - built these routines into
- RBBS-Verify. Therefore none of these external utilities
- are required by RBBS-Verify.
-
- RBBS-Verify was not creating and initializing it's
- VERIFIED.DAT, TRASHCAN.DAT, and VERIFYx.LOG files as
- documented when starting the door in local mode. Fixed.
-
- Corrected problems with RBBS-Verify searching for it's
- LOGOFF/LOGOFFG optional display files, the door was
- incorrectly displaying a "File not found!" message at
- times. Fixed.
-
- Added support for error correcting and non-error correcting
- dialing strings, to prevent random garbage from appearing
- when dialing out with a modem with error correction and
- connecting with a non-error correcting modem.
-
- USERS.DAT user data file added for possible future
- additions to RBBS-Verify, this file is also very handy
- for third party author's use.
-
- Added support for areas of the U.S. which require dialing
- the area code but leaving the preceding '1' off when
- calling some long distance areas. Also added support for
- areas which require dialing a '1' but no area code when
- calling some long distance areas. These features are
- implemented using the new LDCODES1.DAT and LDCODES2.DAT
- data files.
-
- Added a few extra seconds delay when disconnecting to
- ensure user's at "slow" baud rates such as 1200 and
- slower do not lose the message.
-
- Made some big changes to RBBS-Verify's user's guide,
- added more in-depth details on installation of the door,
- troubleshooting, etc. Also fixed several existing errors
- in the documentation distributed with v1.00. Also made
- some minor changes to the other small documents
- distributed with RBBS-Verify.
-
- Added RVBULL.EXE bulletin maintenance utility which will
- "trim" RBBS-Verify's optional callback statistic bulletin
- and will keep the last xxx statistics and purge all old
- records. Can operate both from the DOS command line, or
- can be used as a daily system event.
-
- Added additional prompt which will allow user's to
- review the phone number they entered and select whether
- or not the information is correct, if the user selects
- "yes", RBBS-Verify will continue with it's "Number to
- be dialed" prompt, otherwise, the user will be allowed
- to re-enter their phone number again.
-
- Added several additional prompts to RBBS-Verify's callback
- only mode, which are the same as used in the verification
- mode, this will allow the user to specify whether or not
- he or she is calling long distance, if the user selected
- "yes", RBBS-Verify will inform the user that the callback
- mode is not available, otherwise the door will continue
- with the callback process.
-
- Several other very minor code changes have been made to
- RBBS-Verify to tighten things up a bit.
-
- IMPORTANT: The configuration file format as well as
- several other aspects of RBBS-Verify have
- been changed slightly from v1.00 - be sure
- to read the supplied UPGRADE.DOC file for
- instructions on upgrading to this version.
-
- v1.00 - 05/93 - The first version of RBBS-Verify callback verification door
- is released!
