1.27
----
1) Supports RA 1.01 ExitInfo structures.
2) Fixed bug which allowed user to edit their phone number
to something invalid. Created errorlevel 14 to trap this.
3) Documented errorlevel 13 which VD exits with when it
detects too many arguments on the command line.
4) Fixed bug which caused the user name to be left out of a log
entry during bad number detection (via BadNumber Control file).
1.25
----
1) Cleaned up dupe phone number problems.
1.18b
-----
1) More Log cleanup.
2) Added TWIT mode and TwitLine descriptor to vd.cfg.
1.17b
-----
1) Fixed oversight in OFFHOOK and ONHOOK descriptors. Both now
support the '|' for an optional Carriage Return after the
strings. Before the CR was HardCoded!
2) Made using a log optional by leaving out 'LogPath' descriptor
in Vd.Cfg.
3) Added the 'LogStyle' descriptor to Vd.Cfg to allow use of the
Binkley/Opus or FrontDoor style logs.
1.16b
-----
1) Fixed Dupe checking problem via Cvt_PH program. This bug has been
around since adding support for free-style phone formats in RA
and QuickBBS. I never knew about it until 11/90.
1.15
----
1) Fixed bug which would allow a long distance edited phone number
to be dialed regardless of LDSTART/LDSTOP settings.
2) Added new vd.cfg descriptor: YOURCODELD
This one will allow you to tell VD not to strip your area code from
LD numbers in your area code - I call this Ed Marquis mode <grin>.
syntax
YourCodeLD NoStrip
If you don't use this VD defaults to stripping them anyway.
3) Added code to trap the use of the number 1 as a first digit of a
user's phone number. This problem allowed LD users to tell VD they
were local thus forcing VD to call LD. This problem first cropped
up when I changed VD to support the RA freeform style phone number.
I cannot imagine why no one ever noticed it until I stumbled upon
it tonight, a good three months after adding the freeform code.
ValidOOR v1.10 Release Notes
----------------------------
1) Minor change to log format.
2) Chat Mode added via F1 key.
3) Cleaned up some of the phone # processing code.
4) Added JUMP TO DOS via the <F2> function key. Uses COMSPEC.
5) Local keyboard now works when a user is online.
6) Update Option Flags are displayed on the Status line like this:
Upd: S T F P L
Upd: flag under this means EXITINFO.BBS will be written to.
S : " " " " security level will be updated.
T : " " " " TimeLimit will be updated.
F : " " " " User Flags will be updated.
P : Number under this indicates PhoneEdit status.
0 = disabled
1 = enabled without EXITINFO update.
2 = enabled with EXITINFO update.
L : flag under this means LongDistance calling enabled.
L : 's' " " " " slot " .
7) Cleaned up BIOS display routines (I hope) and tested with DV 2.25.
8) Another new vd.cfg descriptor, EditPhone, allows sysop to permit
users to change their phone number. See VD.Cfg in this package
for usage.
9) Display modes have been tweaked a bit to work better.
10) Status bar in DIRECT mode is two lines now.
11) Version number changes: 1.05R for RA
1.05Q for QBBS
12) ValidOOR now requires you to put the Carriage return in your modem-init
string unlike previous versions. Use the | character as a Carriage
Return at the end of your init string.
13) There is a new optional descriptor in vd.cfg - ExitInfoPath - which allows
you to specify a path for your EXITINFO.BBS file. Add this to your cfg
file using the correct path for your system:
ExitInfoPath d:\qbbs\exitinfo.bbs
If you leave out this vd.cfg descriptor, VD will look for EXITINFO.BBS
in the current directory.
14) Changed the way VD handles the flags. You can now use a "N" in
any flag which will tell VD to leave that flag the way it
is already set. Example:
AFlag XXX---nn
would tell vd to set flags a1 a2 and a3 on, a4 a5 a6 off, and
leave a7 and a8 the way they were already set for that user.
The old way this worked was not a bug but rather lazy
programming on my part.
15) Added ability to use the free-style phone number format of
QuickBBS and/or Remote Access.
16) The modem reset string is no longer a hard-coded ATZ<CR> so you
MUST change your ModemReset descriptor to reflect the actual reset
string you wish to use like this:
ModemReset ATZ|
Use the | character as a <CR>.
Of course you can still disable the modem reset like this:
ModemReset NoATZ
