- MODIFICATION HISTORY
- ====================
-
- Version 1.2
- ===========
-
- 3/ 9/92 1.2 Version finally released!!
- 3/ 8/92 Clear buffer when returning from DOS (and not in chat mode)
- 3/ 2/92 Added option to use a special access code upon reconnection,
- along with name, password (and optional birthdate)
- 3/ 2/92 Install batch file spiffed up for much simpler install.
- 3/ 1/92 Users no longer have to reenter their terminal information if
- using SFCB twice in a row. A text file SFCB.LST stores the
- information on the last caller and is read in if it matches the
- current user. It is written when a user fails validation
- (Usually through BUSY or NO CARRIER)
- 2/27/92 Modem parameters made more flexible
- Dial time out - wait for CONNECT, etc signals
- Redial time - time between dialing
- Reconnect time - time delay after reconnection to detect BBS'
- better (improper phone numbers)
- These options were also added to the SFCBINST install program.
- 2/14/92 USR / Courier modems now fully operational at all known speeds
- -- hiatus --
- 8/23/91 Support for USR Courier and MicroCom high speed modems added,
- easier to use user interface..
- 5/31/91 Added support for special terminal programs, most notably,
- Mirror II which does not allow incoming calls in terminal mode.
- Call-backs may not be done for users already validated (with the
- exception of long-distance calls)
- 5/17/91 Created nicer scrolling routines with ANSI callers, cleaned up
- some prompts, general code optimizing
- 5/15/91 Fixed bug with duplicate numbers (if user is last on the user
- list, which happens frequently with new users)
- 4/23/91 The configuration and door file could not be properly located,
- this is fixed, as is the delay time prior to disconnected, to
- allow the user to see the last few lines of text.
- 4/22/91 Added TIMEDAY.BBS/CLR to be displayed if the user cannot be
- validated at that time of the day. SFCB.CFG can now contain
- up to 10 different time zones for the day, in the format
- HH:MM-HH:MM separated by a space, comma or semi-colon.
-
- 4/21/91 Please note! If you have a program which resets your BBS after
- x number of rings, please disable this program before running
- SFCB! Some programs cannot properly distinguish rings and
- hangups so this may cause reboots while attempting to redial.
- 4/21/91 Made modifications to the dialing routine which would not work
- as expected on some modems, and would not work at all on the
- 2nd and 3rd attempts.
- 4/21/91 Line 20 of SFCB.CFG file caused the program to not continue
- validation if set to FALSE - fixed to scan every number except
- the users' number.
- 4/21/91 Chat mode bug fixed
- 4/20/91 Discovered intermittent timeout bug - fixed
- 4/18/91 Sent for beta testing

- Long-distance validation enabled.
- Added CBNOLD.BBS/CLR to display if long-distance validation

- SFCB now checks SFCB.BAD for phone numbers which will not
- be validated (ie - local BBS numbers)
- SFCB can instantly validate numbers included in SFCB.OK, and
- will validate without call-back.
- Repaired minor bug when coming back from Chat or Dos Jump,
- and re-displays last line shown.
- User phone number may now be changed "on the fly", if the
- sysop allows it (set in configuration file).
- SFCB.LOG will reflect changes to the phone number and
- incorrect phone numbers, password, or name attempts.
- SFCB.XCH now shows all available local exchanges that will
- not fit on one line in SFCB.CFG. The configuration file
- is read first and SFCB.XCH is searched only if the prefix
- has not been found. (So put frequently used prefixes in
- SFCB.CFG and other local exchanges in SFCB.XCH)
- SFCB.VAL contains the list of users who have been validated
- SFCB.NVL will contain the list of users who failed validation
- Added CONNECT.BBS/CLR to display once the user is reconnected
