QuoteMagic for BBS Programs
Revision History
==========================================================================
QM-BBS.EXE
1.00 04/11/96
The DQ-BBS.EXE program is a slimmed down version of DQ-DOS.EXE. It
contains only THREE void functions (for right now). Everything
seems to be working okay at this point. Minor revisions in the
outputted QUOTE.TXT and QUOTE.ANS files are needed.
1.01 04/12/96
Made the necessary changes to get the QUOTE file output lining up
correctly.
1.10 05/12/96
Lots of changes to the code. I broke it down a bit, adding another
function to contain the QUOTE file output routines. I also removed
some redundant code. Fixed a major logic bug that would appear when
Daily Quote reached the end of the DAYQUOTE.LST file without finding
the desired quote. I also added in the directory path option. Now
when you run DQ-BBS.EXE, if you don't specify the path that the
program maintains its files in, the program will display a message
on the screen telling you so and generate a DOS ErrorLevel 1.
1.20 05/19/96 * FIRST DISTRIBUTED VERSION *
Added some error checking routines for the input/output files
(QUOTE.TXT, QUOTE.ANS, DQ-BBS.DAT, and DAYQUOTE.LST). The program
will now exit with a DOS ErrorLevel value and an on-screen error
message if it can't open or write one of the necessary files.
1.30 07/10/96 * SECOND DISTRIBUTED VERSION *
Cosmetic change only. I switched the name from Daily Quote to
QuoteMagic. This affects just about all of the files in the package,
albeit in a simple way. Quotes are now pulled from the QM-QUOTE.LST
file, and the DAT file is now called QM-BBS.DAT.
2.00 07/17/96 * THIRD DISTRIBUTED VERSION *
One major change: added in a "program execution" option. Now, if you
want to have the program pick a new quote every time it is run, you
can set this option to "1" (using SETQ) and have it do just that. This
can be handy if you want each caller to your BBS to see a new quote.
Just set QM-BBS.EXE to run after each caller logs off, and you're set.
I also made a few other minor name changes to some of the internal
variables, and switched from using ints to short ints.
SETQ.EXE
1.0 04/11/96
Basically, this program is the same as the SETQ.EXE program included
with the DQ-DOS.ZIP file. You wouldn't even believe how simple the
source code is.
1.1 05/12/96
Changed the output screen just a bit (made it more informative).
2.0 07/17/96
Added the "program execution" option. Also switched over to the new
variable references (from QM-BBS.H).
CHECKQ.EXE
1.0 04/11/96
Basically, this program is the same as the CHECKQ.EXE program included
with the DQ-DOS.ZIP file. You wouldn't even believe how simple the
source code is.
1.1 05/12/96
Changed the output screen just a bit (made it more informative).
2.0 07/17/96
Added display of the "program execution" option and switched over to
the new variable references (from QM-BBS.H).
