- 02/15/96
- [v4.5] Opening screen displays InterBBS: Inactive even when it is
- active. Only affects the opening screen display!
-
- When a card is played from the table, it is moved to the discard
- pile. However, when it was displayed on the discard pile it did
- not use the the same suit as it had on the table.
-
- 01/29/96
- [v4.4] ALIAS option NOT working properly.
-
- 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.
-
- 07/03/95
- [v4.3] 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!
-
- An error was generated when a caller chooses the "S" option to
- view the High Scores. This only occured if running InterBBS.
-
- 01/08/95
- [v4.2] 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.
-
-
- 08/14/94
- [v4.1] 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).
-
-
- 03/14/94
- [v4.0] 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.
-
- If you have uncovered all the cards in the deck and the there
- was still a move left, the program was supposed to display a
- message that there were more moves remaining. Instead all that
- was displayed was a red bar.
-
- 11/26/93
- [v3.9] The Makeup days option and number of games played/remaining,
- was not working properly if you left the game and came back
- in to continue playing. You never lost any turns/games since
- the turns/games would readjust the next day.
-
- When playing in an InterBBS game, the BULLETINS created will
- reflect the same screen as that seen when looking at the
- Door's high scores (will not affect non-InterBBS games).
-
- The Hiscore display when in the InterBBS mode, has changed.
- The number of games a player has PLAYED will be shown in the
- space previously occupied by the LAST DATE PLAYED. With this
- change a player can now tell if the players around them have
- played all their games to date or are possibly holding back.
- Multiplying today's day number by the number of games allowed
- per day will give the total number of PLAYS a player should
- have if they are CURRENT.
-
- Non-registered version will automatically reset the player's
- scores anywhere from the 17th thru 29th day of use
-
- Increased the number fo games per day allowed in the
- non-registered version
-
- If playing InterBBS, the Score display will flash the player's
- name to make it easier for them to spot their position in the
- top scores.
-
- 08/21/93
- [v3.8] Names used for InterBBS filenames were misspelled, thus
- exported score files were being rejectwed at the HUB. Both
- OVERUNDR.EXE and INTERBBS.EXE have changed
-
- 08/19/93
- [v3.7] Score files were not being created properly and InterBBS was
- dropping players from the OVERUND.ISC file. If you have a
- OVERUND.ISC file and or a OVERUND0.xxx file, delete them and
- they will correct themselves
-
- 08/11/93
- [v3.6] Introducing an INTER-BBS option whereby players may compete
- against players from any number of other BBS', running
- Over Under Solitaire.. See Docs for a more indepth
- explanation as well as an explanation of the new CFG option.
-
- Kings, if pulled from the Deck, will not be displayed on the
- discard pile. Will speed up the game.
-

-
- Hall of Fame routine was working only partially. Correct
- player was listed in HOF, but with a blank score.
-
- If no one played the door or if the highest score obtained
- during the month was zero, the game will NOT show a Hall of
- Fame entry for the month.
-
- Callers will be required to answer the "Want Instructions.."
- question with a Y or N. This was required to circumvent a
- problem encountered when running under WildCat's IM version.
-

- of the color setting of the current session.

- whereby the wrong player may have been credited with being

-
- New Configuration option to allow Sysop to choose whether
- they want the computer to allocate 999 games to them or if
- they just want to be like any other caller.
-
- Corrected an alignment problem with the SUNHOF.ASC/ANS files.

- You will have to manually align the existing entries (after
- the next monthly maintenance run).

- after the High Scores (if the SUNHOF.ANS is found and the
- Door is registered)

- 06/12/92
- [v3.0] Major revision, therefore the version number jump!!
-
- Added a MAKE-UP-PLAYS feature that allows the caller to makeup
- game plays they may have missed during the current month. This
- will afford those callers that do not call every day, an equal
- chance to compete with callers that play every day.

- Be sure to read Documentation!!!
-
- Automatic game reset will take place when the first caller of

- Be sure to read the Documentation!!!
-
- >>>>>>>>>> NOTE: You MUST discontinue use of SUNHOF.EXE for this DOOR!!!!

- IRQs. This will eliminate the need to have multiple batch
- files to execute the door. See DOCs under NON-STANDARD COM
- SUPPORT for details.

- of the configuration file. This will eliminate the requirement
- that you create an individual configuration file for each node
- in a multinode environment (ONE config file for ALL nodes!!).

-
- Replaced the (+) key with the (C/R) used when drawing a card
