History of "Tickle File"
────────────────────────
Version 1.50 Released (8/2/96)
Problem: Non-Stop mode not available when listing users
Solution: Fix EDITOR.PPE - When listing user, Non-Stop mode now added.
=========================================================================
Problem: TKL being invoked during message base activity
Solution: Fix TKL.PPE - Do not invoke TKL when: capture of a message base,
download or a message base, or a QWK of a message base. Just
display the generic PCB prompt.
=========================================================================
Problem: Integrate TKL with BANK.PPE
(Bank.PPE written by John Palazzolo and Dan Shore)
Solution: When a user does not have enough bytes or time to download
a file, have Tickle File check the BANK database to see
if the user has a byte or time balance. Each respective
balance is checked depending on if the user does not have
enough bytes or enough time. If the user has a balance
they are shown this information and asked if they wish
to withdrawl time/bytes.
Notes: TKL.CFG has changed to accomadate the use of the BANK.PPE
The configuration file now has three lines in it and here
is an example:
TRUE <--- Verify existance of files when manually added to database
TRUE <--- Use the BANK.PPE with TKL
C:\PCB\PPE\BANK\ <--- Path to BANK.PPE
(if line#2 is FALSE this entry is not required)
Tickle File will only work with our BANK.PPE and no others.
=========================================================================
Version 1.40 - Released (1/29/96)
Problem: None
Solution: Tickle File is no longer Shareware - it is now FREEWARE but
dontations of $5 - $10 are accepted by the author to spur
him on to write other fine utilities for PCB SysOps.
Problem:
Tickle File would put the ratio (50:1) as a filename in the database
and would then ask the user for the filename they were attempting
to download or flag. This would only occur with systems running
upload/download file ratios (not byte ratios).
Solution:
Tickle File was being executed by PCBText #668 when it should not
be. Restore PCBText entry #668 to stock (Hit F4 while in MKPCBTXT).
=========================================================================
Version 1.20 - Released (4/23/95)
Problem:
TKLTEXT does not support language extensions.
Solution:
Fixed TKL.PPE, EDITOR.PPE to look for the language version
of TKLTEXT (look for the extension that is defined in
the PCBML.DAT file for the language the user selects)
Problem:
Yes and No prompts in program do not support language file
settings for yes and no.
Solution:
Fix TKL.PPE and EDITOR.PPE to support the specific language
file yes/no settings (found in PCBML.DAT)
Enhancement:
The TKL?.CFG file has CHANGED!!!
Line 1 = Check for file existence when adding files to database
acceptable values: TRUE or FALSE
Line 2 = Bypass the "Registered to" prompt
acceptable values: TRUE or FALSE
"REGISTERED" users can bypass the "Registered to" prompt
for a more seamless look for Tickle File. This is
accomplished in the TKL?.CFG file.
FALSE - No, do not show prompt
TRUE - Yes, show prompt
Note: The ? in TKL?.CFG is the CONFERENCE number that this
configuration file applies to.
Enhancement:
When PCB invokes "Tickle File", save the screen buffer, show
"Tickle File" information, end "Tickle File", and restore
the screen. This way the files that were on the screen previously
will be redisplayed upon return from the PPE.
=========================================================================
Version 1.10 - Released (1/21/95)
Problem:
Users not getting prompted to add files to their database.
* Found that if the user had ZERO flagged files, had ZERO bytes
downloaded for the day, and the file exceeded a ratio, they
would not get prompted
Solution:
Fixed TKL.PPE - Any time a PCBText entry invoked TKL, the user
will be asked to add the file to their database
Enhancement:
Changed TKLPACK.PPE and TKLPACK.CFG so users that do not have any
files in their database would be packed (removed). This option
is enable through an entry in TKLPACK.CFG
Enhancement:
Changed TKLTEXT entry #15
Enhancement:
Added REPORT.PPE program. This program will create a file called
TKLREPRT.LOG which will be located in the same directory as the PPE.
This report will show all users with their files and descriptions
(if they have any), or it will show the user and state the user has
no files.
At the end of the report is a "Statistics Summary" of:
total users
total users with files
total users without files
total files
files per users
=========================================================================
Version 1.0 - Initial release of program (1/5/95)
