- Version 1.0 of Network Mail (import) Status. First publice release of
- program I originally wrote for my own use with the PCRelay import/export
- log. Now uses the Postlink log(s).
-
- I have done a lot of rewrite in this release so if you have any problems
- please report them to me as quickly as possible...
-
- Verson 1.1. Tightened up the code and made internal enhancements to
- program. No bugs reported. Did fix last transfer date so that the
- bulletin displays that date instead of the current date.
-
- Version 1.2. Corrected an error in the archiving routine that prevented
- the log file to roll over and generat the archive. Also added the last
- bulletin to the archive so the totals would be contained in the archive
- too.
-
- Version 1.3. Corrected an error that made the conference totals in the
- right hand column, of odd totaled conferenves, off by one position.
- The grand total was correct but the totals displayed in the right hand
- columns was incorrect.
-
- Version 1.4. Corrected a network problem with the archive file. I had
- the LOG file open at the time the archiving took place on the rollover.
- On a network this produced a "Cannot open file" error with PKZIP.EXE. I
- have corrected the problem thanks to Bob Neal of Corporate Headquarters
- BBS (my support BBS) for testing the code on his network. All I had to
- do was load SHARE.EXE to find the error.
-
- Version 1.5. Corrected the sort problem with upper and lower case
- conference names. Took me a while to figure this one out, I'm just
- slow (dumb).
-
- Version 1.6. Changed white periods (spacer) in color bulletins to
- blue so less white to glare at viewers. Contrast seems much nicer
- with this color arrangement.
-
- Version 1.7. Continued to change format/colors on bulletins. Corrected
- an error that created a premature Conference Name termination. I was
- using the period at the end of the line for a terminator but if the BBS
- had conference names with a period in them if used them instead. I now
- scan the names backwards starting at position 63 in the log. Also fixed
- a color error in version 1.6 if number of conference total was an odd
- number. This version produces a much nicer looking bulletin.
-
- Version 2.0. Major revisions. Now needs serial number to register the
- program and remove the "Unregistered BBS" from bulletins. Now also
- has optional last import mail transfer bulletin. Bulletin format has
- been changed to make things clearer. Much work on this update! Please
- read the docs, the command line parameters have changed.
-
- Version 2.1. Continued to enhance the program and found a couple of
- display errors. In the last mail bulletin I was incorrectly using the
- current time instead of the time in the Postlink log. I also added
- the option of using IBM exteneded codes in both the ANSI and ACII
- versions and not using them in PCBoard. Please read the doc file for
- details.
-
- Version 2.2. Corrected some display and bulletin output errors. Added
- Status2 v1.0 to archive to do export bulletin. Corrected a Hub problem
- with the bulletin output that created blank (non-existant) conference
- names. I thought this had been totally corrected in 2.1, but found
- there was still another problem in this area. Whew!
-
- Version 2.3 (STATUS.EXE), v1.1 (STATUS2.EXE). Had an error in the serial
- number routines in both programs that miscalculated some BBS names and
- displayed then as Unregistered. Sorry!
-
- Version 2.4. Status Export/Import/Last Import are now a single program
- verses the quick fix STATUS2.EXE. I forgot that the Postlink logs could
- be two separate files and I only had STATUS.EXE 2.1-2.3 doing the
- archiving (rollover). This meant that the EXPORT.LOG would not be
- archived. Did not think about this till I was converting this version.
- Command line options have now been put in the nine line configuration
- file (can be any name). Single or combined log files, single or multiple
- configuration files. Some display and internal corrections made, all
- non-critical. Three bulletins are now added to the archive. Please see
- the documentation for details on changes.
-
- Version 2.5. Had problem come up that caused an endless loop on systems
- that had a full path to the log files. In my testing everything is in
- the same directory and I forgot to check the pathes options as I did
- earlier, but made some confirmation of file changes. Sorry if this
- caused problems. Did not show up on my system till Bob Neal reported it
- on his. Sure enough with his CFG file it locked up. Added a display that
- shows when the program is doing it's configuration. Normally this should
- just flash off the screen and you might never see it. Fixed the error.
- Also fixed a couple other minor stuff like the "no message" bulletins,
- and a display color or two that were in error.
