- 11/21/95
- [v1.7] ALIAS option NOT operating correctly.
-
- When entering a message, the body of the message was being
- converted to upper case. With this version we will not
- convert to upper case.
-
- Added 'last date played' to Bulletins for NON-InterBBS only
-
- If a Player logged on prior to midnight on the last day of the
- month and plays past midnight on the 1st of the new month, the
- monthly maintenance routine would 'kick in' during the players
- logon.
-
- The scoring routine has been re-written. The scoring will be
- as follows:
- (a) Player is given 2500 points at tstart of each game
- (b) Player loses 50 points for each NON-Match
- (c) Player loses 100 points for each attempt at solving the
- puzzle that results in an incorrect answer.
- (d) When puzzle is solved, player is awarded the remining
- points. Minimum points is 100.
- (e) If player (Q)uits the game, no points are awarded.

- [v1.6] Error # 55 generated after sending a message followed by a
- player displaying the High Scores.
-
- 06/29/95
- [v1.5] Added a NEW option that will allow the player to send/read a
- message to any other game players. The player will also be
- given the option of replying to a message they have just read.
- All messages will be maintained within the Door itself and will
- have no connection to the BBS message bases.
-
- Added another CFG option to control the new message option
-
- The InterBBS program creates a Prior Month Top 10 file. The
- file will be displayed whenever the player requests a High
- Score display and/or at door exit, if the .T10 file is found
- in the Door directory!
-
- 01/08/95
- [v1.4] Eliminated the 'ANSI not detected....' message since there are
- a few communications packages out there that give off their
- own type of ANSI.
-
- If using the TRIBBS.SYS system file, the door always presented
- the opening screen in black and white. Will now be presented
- in color.
-
- A first time caller to the Door was being given a black and
- white screen throughout the Door. The caller would then have
- to use the Door option to toggle the color on. The Door will
- now default to having the color turned on and the caller will
- have to use the color toggle, on the game menu, to turn it off.
-
- The Door knows that the caller is the Sysop, if the caller is
- record #1 in the BBS' user database. The BBS software passes
- that record number to the door via the system file. Some BBS
- software does not pass the actual record number but passes a
- relative number (ie: record #1 is passed as record #0). If the
- number being passsed is 0, the Door will not know it is the
- Sysop calling. We will now recognize the caller as the Sysop
- if their record number is 0 or 1.
-
- As more and more BBS' use Alias', we have been asked to
- provide a way for the callers to use their Alias' rather
- than their LogonName. All Sunrise Doors will now have this
- Sysop configurable option in the CFG file.
-
- If participating in an InterBBS game, the number of games per
- day will NOT be overridden by the security specific entries in
- the CFG file.
-
-
- 08/09/94
- [v1.3] A new option has been added to the CFG file to control the
- number of high score entries you wish to be displayed when
- the player chooses the appropriate option OR when they are
- leaving the game. There is no maximum/minmum that can be
- displayed OR you can use ZERO(0) to display ALL entries.
-
- If the XXXX/YYYY entries in the CFG file were entered in
- LOWERCASE, the Door would display a CFG error and return to BBS
-
- Using a NEW entry in the CFG, you can now define the number of
- months to retain in the HALL of FAME files.
-
- Added a new option to the playing menu that allows the player
- to toggle the Color On/Off.
-
- You will have to run a conversion program called USREXPND
- (included in the Door ZIP file). This program is to be run ONCE
- ONLY if you are upgrading from an earlier version of the Door.
- If you do not wish to run the conversion program you can just
- delete the .USR file (deleting the USR file causes the game to
- start over with all prior scores being lost).
-
- Added a BONUS to the scoring. At start of game player is given
- 1000 BONUS points. That number is reduced by 50 for each
- attempt to match a pair of boxes AND for each guess made to
- solve the puzzle.
-
- 04/05/94
- [v1.2] There has been some confusion on the part of players as to how
- they can escape from the game when they are in the
- "Enter Guess" portion of the game, after the program determined
- that there weren't anymore moves available. There never was a
- way to do that.. this version will now allow the player to use
- the backslash (\) to escape from the game, back to the BBS.
-
- There have also been some reports that the program was not
- displaying a hidden digit (just blanks). We have attempted to
- find this bug but have not been successful. We have added some
- program code to try and ensure that blanks can not show up....
- please report any occurances of this happening (be sure to
- mention which digit was coming up blank).
-
- 03/12/94
- [v1.1] Past problems with large values in the Door.Sys or other System
- Files (Drop Files) generating an OVERLOW (Error 6) error, have
- been resolved.
-
- When the Door displays the opening screen, it asks if you want
- instructions and you are forced to enter a Y or N. This was
- installed to handle problems encountered when using Digiboards.
- With this release you can choose whether you want to force a
- y/n OR if you want to use the y/N format which allows the
- player to press ENTER for the default N. You must update your
- CFG file, see DOC file.
-
- Cleaned up some esthetic problems with non-InterBBS bulletins
-
- 12/16/93
- [v1.0] New version.
