- Voter Plus - Revision History (In Reverse Order)
- ------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Aug 15, 1992 - 1.26 - Added some additional code to guard against possible
- hack attempts of the .EXE file.
-
- Aug 09, 1992 - 1.25 - Changed the eXpert status function somewhat. All
- callers will start out in non-expert mode when they
- enter the door. Regardless of whether they toggle
- their status while in the door, their status upon
- returning to PCBoard will remain unchanged.
-
- Aug 07, 1992 - 1.24 - Added line 11 to the VOTER.CNF file. If this line
- contains YES then the caller will NOT be permitted
- to view the results of a booth they have not yet
- voted on.
-
- It seems that some non-PCBoard systems that are
- using QKDoor to convert the control files are
- having problems with the correct TIMELEFT value
- being displayed on the command line. It appears
- that QKDoor is not properly creating the PCBoard.Sys
- file. As an interim measure, you may add the
- following SET command to the batch file that calls
- VOTER PLUS, or in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- SET VPLUS=xxx
-
- Where xxx equals the amount of time in MINUTES you
- wish the user to be allowed in the door.
-
- NOTE: If you are not ACTUALLY running PCBoard 14.5(a),
- then you should have NO in line 4 of the VOTER.CNF
- file. Otherwise, the caller will NOT be prompted
- whether they wish the Graph or Chart style display
- of the results.
-
- You may now register Voter Plus On-line using
- Mastercard or Visa. See ORDER.FRM for details.
-
- Jul 26, 1992 - 1.20 - In the logic that checks for a valid DOS filename
- when creating a new booth, I had missed the
- characters: "[" and "]". They are now also trapped
- as illegal.
-
- Jul 18, 1992 - 1.18 - Changed VOTER.WEC to VOTERWEL for multi-lang
- compatibility. The DOOR will look for and display
- VOTERWEL.xxx where .xxx equals the .LNG extension
- as defined in PCBoard's setup if the caller is in
- alternate language mode.
-
- Support has been added for multi-language HELP
- menus and text. If the caller is using an
- alternate language, Voter Plus will look for and
- display the file HLP-MENU.xxx Again .xxx equals
- PCB's .LNG extension. In the same fashion, you may
- create help files that correspond to Voter Plus's
- Main Menu commands, such as HELP-E.xxx, HELP-C.xxx,
- HELP-V.xxx, etc.
-
- The ground-work has been laid for FULL multi-lang
- support of all of Voter Plus's internal text output.
-
- What I need now is someone able to provide the
- translations. If anyone is interested, please drop
- me a note at one of the support BBS's listed in
- VOTER.DOC
-
- Voter Plus will now follow the Expert Mode toggle
- of the caller. The menu command <X> has also been
- added to allow the caller to toggle Expert Mode
- while in the door.
-
- The caller is now able to leave ONLY a comment
- regarding a specific booth. We will see how this
- works out. Seems to me it might allow for some
- nice "discussions" to take place in addition to the
- actual voting. This is <L> Leave a Comment on
- the Main Menu.
-
- Added "Saving Comment" message when in non-verbose
- mode.
-
- I realize that a lot of the above changes will only
- be of use to those running PCBoard compatible
- systems. What can I say ? Please let me know
- though if the changes cause non-PCB systems any
- problems.
-
- Jun 24, 1992 - 1.15 - When Creating A New Booth, The Option To Allow
- The Voter To Change Their Vote Would Always Be
- Saved As NO. The DOOR Would Not Allow A Caller
- To Edit Or Delete A Booth They Had Created If
- They Had Chosen To Have Their Name Suppressed.
-
- Jun 07, 1992 - 1.12 - Fixed A Problem With The Anonymous Option

-
- Jun 05, 1992 - 1.10 - Added The Option When Creating A Booth, For The

- Name Listed in the .VTR File.
-
