VERSION HISTORY for Scramble!
COPYRIGHT 1991,96 T&J Software
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 4.10a ........ 09-02-96
- Special thanks to Darrin Hentze for finding a small glitch in the
utility program. A simple fix is to add one more line to the
SYSOP.CFG file - add a sixth line (blank) to the SYSOP.CFG file
to correct the error.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 4.10 ......... 08-19-96
- Removed RIP detection.
- Minor code adjustments.
- Removed monochrome screens.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Version 4.00 ......... 02-19-95
- Changed to new bulletin routines.
- Bulletin may now be viewed from the main menu.
- Added three modes of play HARD, MEDIUM, and EASY. HARD gives a clue
of the first letter of the word and normal points. MEDIUM gives a
clue of the first two letters and half points. EASY gives a clue of
the first three letters of the word and one quarter the point. Mode
of play can be toggles from the main menu.
- Dropped the category feature and instead now show what the word starts
with.
- Increased the value of correct words - just to make the scores a little
higher.
- Changed the name of .EXE from SCRAM.EXE to SCRAMBLE.EXE - please make
note of this when upgrading your batch files!!
- The WORDS.DAT size was cut in half after removing the catagory
information. This saves about 350k of disk space.
- Time limits for figuring out the words can be edited by changing the
contents of the TIMEUP.DAT file. See documentation on this.
- Special thanks to Marty Cox for helping test v4.00!
