- [V1.5] Caller was still being asked if they wanted New profiles since
- last logon. Hopefully we have it fixed this time.
-
- If you did not supply the Profile CFG file name on the command
- line when executing PROFMANT, you were presented with an error
- message that you would not understand. A better message is now
- presented, along with an example execution entry.
-
- If the last user in the database had a picture attached and a
- new user was added to the database, the new user profile would
- pick up the picture name of the last user.
-

- [v1.4] If you place a file called WELCOME in the Profile directory, it
- will be displayed IMMEDIATELY following the opening screen.
-
- In an effort to help with the user inputting random characters
- (!@#$%, etc) we have added an OPTIONAL file called CHAR.OK. The
- file will contain ONLY VALID CHARACTERS you wish to allow the
- caller to use when responding to the questions. If the file,
- CHAR.OK, is not found in the PROFILE directory, no checking
- will take place. We have included a sample file containing
- valid Alpha and Numeric values.
-
- When viewing an individual Profile, the caller will no longer
- be asked if the want New profiles since last logon.

- [v1.3] To help eliminate the use of language that may be offensive to
- other callers, we have now allowed for the creation of a TRASH
- CAN file (PROFTCAN.DAT). You would fill this file with words
- that you do NOT want to allow the caller to enter in response
- to ANY of the questions. See DOCs for more information.
-
- With this version we introduce a new feature that allows for
- the attachment, and subsequent downloading, of a PICTURE file.
- The Caller uploads the picture (any format(s) you desire), you
- 'attach' it to the caller's profile vai the PROFMAINT program.
- REQUIRES: PROTOCOL.DAT file (included) AND protocol BATCH
- files found in PROBATCH.ZIP
-
- Sysop will now have the ability to EDIT ANY PROFILE. A SYSOP
- option will appear on the main menu when the Sysop is using
- the Door.
-
- When the (V)iew option is chosen the caller will have the
- option of displaying the profiles in a DETAILED or SUMMARY
- fashion. If the SUMMARY option is chosen the caller can chose
- the one(s) they wish to have displayed in DETAIL.

- [v1.2] 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.
-
- 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.
-
- When displaying user profiles you are asked if you wish to
- continue or Exit after each profile is displayed. If you
- replied 'e' your response would be ignored, as it was looking
- for an uppercase response. This has been fixed to allowed
- upper OR lowercase responses.
-
- When viewing profiles, and the caller chooses to view ALL, the
- caller will be asked if they wish to view only NEW/UPDATED
- profiles since the caller's last time in the door.
-
- With this version you will be able to supply a user's name on
- the Command line, and the program will search for that user's
- record, display it and return to the BBS. The best way to use
- this option, which may not be adaptable to every BBS software
- system, is to have a an entry on the main menu (call it PROFILE)
- and using script type languages, ask the caller for a name to
- look for. You would then pass that name to the PROFILE command
- line. After displaying the caller's profile the caller will be
- taken back to the BBS. See PROFILE.DOC for more information.
-
- Added an option to the Profile maintenance program that allows
- the Sysop to reset the answers to all questions in all user
- records. When the caller next accesses the door, he/she will be
- forced to re-answer the questions. In addition they will be
- presented with an ASCII text file that should be used to
- explain why the caller is being asked to re-answer the
- questions (if the file is not found nothing will be displayed).
- See DOC file for more information.

- [v1.1] After viewing Profiles the program would not recognize the
- caller as having been on before and presented the caller with
- a new questionaire to fill out.
-
- Added a Maintenance program that will allow you to View,
- Delete, Purge Profiles.
