************* NOTES *************
PLEASE UPDATE your EMULATE.DAT file. I made a change that affected it. Where
you used to have VT52-Color, etc. You should change it to VT52 Color. Replace
ALL '-' (dashes) with spaces as shown above in ALL your emulations. This goes
for VT52 Mono, ANSI Color, etc.
************ Fixes/Additions/Changes ************
*** Version 2.4.01
Removed the checks for a KEYCODE.DAT file. The BBS is now Freeware. Refer to
FREEWARE.TXT for more info.
*** Version 2.3.12
Fixed a problem in the routine for adding Callers to the CALLERS.INF file.
The problem only showed up on a new file or one that only had 1 caller's
info in it.
Fixed a bug that would cause text to get screwed up if you had a
'Press [Return]', 'Press [Space]', or '[More]' prompt in your text files.
*** Version 2.3.11b
Fixed it so that if running off of Modem port 2 or the Falcon, XYZ will allow
files to be transfered.
Fixed a bug in the View Marked Messages routine that would send the user to the
search routine.
*** Version 2.3.11a
Fixed the ONLINE.USR to include the User Number. Oops!! :-)
I put in a fix that I hope will eliminate the 0 bytes HD space problem. If the
drive variable is blank, it will default to the first drive in File Area Drive
list. This will keep it from defaulting to drive A. I made a few changes that
I also hope will fix the problem. Not sure if it will yet or not.
*** Version 2.3.11
Changed the way the PROMPT.DAT file was loaded and stored, back to the old way
as the new way was having problems on some systems.
Redone the way the free memory was calculated as it wasn't calculating it
correctly. It should now give you a more acurate reading.
Added support for the ONLINE.USR file that is used by CBase (networking
message bases used with ISIS). To have the BBS write the ONLINE.USR file, use
ONLINE in place of FOREM, TURBO, etc. in the ONLINExx.DAT files.
Added support for Modem 2 on the TT/MSTE and the Modem port on the Falcon. This
has not been tested yet. There is a new item in Edit Settings, Page 5 of the
System Editor called "Modem 2/Falcon". If you plan on using Modem 2 or run the
BBS on a Falcon, then you need to turn this option on. Due to the hardware
design of the Modem 2 & Falcon port, you will need to have a modem hooked up
to this port before you use it. If you don't have a modem hooked up and this
item is selected, the BBS will not operate correctly. It will think that there
is someone connected to the BBS. You will need to use the Modem CPX from Atari
to select the baud rate & RTS/CTS setting. This is temporary until I can get
the information to set this myself.
You will need to get the new version of the System Editor and RSC files. You
will also need to run the System Editor and change the Modem 2/Falcon setting
to the way you want it before running the new version of the BBS.
*** Version 2.3.10c
Fixed a problem in moving to different Message Bases that would cause a crash
Fixed a problem where the last executed filename would be displayed when the
logon prompt would be shown.
*** Version 2.3.10b
Fixed a bug that would cause problems in the File Areas when moving to a
File Area number higher than the highest Message Base number.
Fixed it so that the PROMPT.DAT routine would not Malloc an area of memory
if the last Malloc'd area is big enough to hold the new PROMPT.DAT file. This
was done to reduce the number of Mallocs the BBS does because of problems in
older versions of TOS.
*** Version 2.3.10a
Fixed a problem with users advancing to next Message Base or File Area that
the user had access to. If they tried to go to another base past the one they
did not have access to, it would drop them back to the Main Menu. This occured
when using '+' or '-' (or whatever you have it set as).
*** Version 2.3.10
Finally found and fixed the problem with the program ignoring the first letter
being entered at the Main Menu, File Area and Message Base prompts.
Changed the way the PROMPT.DAT and COMMAND.DAT files are loaded and stored.
You should have about 46K+ more room to execute external programs. This really
only effects 1 meg users. I don't know if it will help any.
*** Version 2.3.09b
Fixed a problem in the Make blank Descriptions area where the program would
only make blank descriptions for 5 files.
Temporarily removed the ANSI color conversions until I can get all the color
codes to convert and make it 100% bullet proof.
*** Version 2.3.09a
Removed the check I left in the Online Games section. Oops! It caused the
system to sit there until a key was pressed on the local keyboard.
*** Version 2.3.09
Changed the way the load header routine searches for header files. Hopefully
this will fix the problem with headers not being loaded properly.
Added some color translation to the strip ANSI routines. The commands
recognized are ESC [07m (inverse on), [00m (inverse off), [40m, [41m, [42m,
[47m, [30m, [31m, [32m, [37m. You must use the full ESC[xxm command and not
ESC[xx;xxm (use ESC[40mESC[37m and not ESC[40;37m ). This could change later
but, for now it works. Only the colors BLACK, RED, GREEN and WHITE are
recognized (or whatever you have those colors defined as).
Added an option to the ONLINExx.DAT files. Where you would use OTHER to
tell the BBS to write the USER.INF file instead of FOREM, etc., you can now
place a filename after it to tell the BBS what filename you want this file
written as. I.E., if you use OTHER FRONTIER.NAM, then the user's handle will
be written to a file called FRONTIER.NAM. If no filename is specified, then
the USER.INF file will be written. This is for those games that require a
different name.
*** Version 2.3.08b
Fixed a problem where the ANSI flag was not being cleared after a user logged
off or changed Terminal types. This would cause the system to strip the VT52
codes on the local screen.
*** Version 2.3.08a
Added a strip ANSI mode that would strip the ANSI codes from the local screen.
You should now be able to see what is going on a lot better when someone is
in ANSI mode. Please let me know if it misses some codes as I only had a
limited number of ANSI screens to test with.
If you have Show VT52 codes turned off, it will now strip all the codes out
now instaed of just the ESC character.
*** Version 2.3.08
Hopefully I fixed the Informer problem with New users. I will know soon I
guess.
Fixed a problem with having the Fido option selected and the BBS exiting
before validating a user. This is untested as I have no way of testing it.
Seperated the BBS Lister section and made it a seperate program. It was
written by Andy Okun. Please note that this is only version 1.0 and other
features are planned and some changes made. The program will be listed in
the Transcendence Support area as BBSLIST.LZH. You will need this program if
you want to have a BBS Lister on your system.
Created a MODULES.DAT file that goes in the DATA folder. This allows you to
specify where files that normally go in the MODULES folder are located. This
allows you to put some of those files into folders within the MODULES folder.
Please follow the below layout. DO NOT change the order because the
programs will not be executed properly if they are not in the proper order.
Currently only the BBS Lister, User Editor and Print User programs are
supported in this version. Others will be added later. Below is an example
of the MODULES.DAT file.
J:\MODULES\USREDIT\USR_EDIT.PRG ! User Editor path and name Line 1
J:\MODULES\BBSLIST\BBSLIST.PRG ! BBS Lister path and name Line 2
J:\MODULES\PRNUSER\PRNTUSER.PRG ! Currently not used Line 3
