05/31/91
--------
Added AUTOINDUCT=Y/N to .CNF file to force new callers through Induction
when 'NEWUSER=callers security level'
Entering information in the Induction module updates the 'password.mh' data
rather that adding duplicate entries.
05/29/91
--------
Allows delete function during message editing to delete a range of lines.
05/28/91
--------
Search for file now searches: the logged drive, then all drives designated
in the DIRECTORY= entry.
05/27/91
--------
Provided menu driven help system simular to the bulletins menu.
Removed code that disallowed garbage (ANSI) characters from message base.
You may now have up to 26 trapdoor entries. Change TRAPDOO1.BAT to
TRAPDOOA.BAT, TRAPDOO2.BAT to TRAPDOOB.BAT, etc.
05/26/91
--------
By popular request (demand!), (P)rogram Descriptions has been renamed (F)ile
Descriptions, and (F)iles has been renamed (P)rogram Directory. This was
done to help prevent caller confusion due to MH's unique menu syntax.
MENU=FILES should be changed to MENU=PROGRAMDIR and MENU=PROGRAM should be
changed to MENU=FILEDESC in the MAXIHOST.CNF file.
05/13/91
--------
Added MHAPI function 12 that flags for deletion ALL (MDS) messages given the
number of months to save. For instance, to flag all messages messages sent
prior to 3 months ago, enter the following:
Example: 'MHAPI 12 3'
05/01/91
--------
Enhanced MHAPI so that multiple functions could be requested on the same
command line. Functions can be chained by delimiting the requests by commas.
Entering 'MHAPI 9, 10, 11' would read the PASSWORD.MH file into
memory, print all public MDS messages to the file MESSAGES.PRN, and
compress the MDS message database.
Entering 'MHAPI 4 1-209-836-2402, 5 10, 2 news.g01' would change current
callers buzzback number in memory, change current callers security level
in memory, and display the text file news.g01.
04/26/91
--------
Fixed bug where BATCHOFF would not be invoked when caller elected to logoff
from the download function.
04/20/91
--------
Added color to the program descriptions.
Added SEPARATORS=[Y/N] to .CNF which tells MH whether to put line separators
in the program description .BBS files.
04/06/91
--------
Fixed dangerous bug in Induction module.
03/29/91
--------
Updated routine for determining free space on upload drive to accomodate
modern day drives with larger disk capacity.
03/29/91
--------
Added TEMPDIR= to allow temporary swap file MAXISWAP.$$$ to be created
in a seperate directory other than the DATAPATH directory. Currently,
it is created in the directory pointed to by DATAPATH and the DATAPATH
directory should not be a RAM disk. This allows for swapping to a RAM
disk.
03/26/91
--------
Fixed bug where some modems wouldn't lock in at correct baud rate.
03/03/91
--------
Added LPT= where 1 means LPT1, 2 means LPT2, and 3 means to file MAXIHOST.LOG.
Added '(L)ist to Printer' command for SysOps in MDS. IF LPT=3 then ALL
messages, PRIVATE or OTHERWISE, are printed to file MESSAGES.PRN
Added support for MHAPI function 10, allowing ALL PUBLIC conference level 0
MDS messages to be saved to the file MESSAGES.PRN
03/02/91
--------
Added 60 second warning before keyboard logoffs
02/28/91
--------
Entered byte count into log on Uploads and Downloads
02/26/91
--------
Changed MDS message delete function to only flag message for deletion
for later message compressing by the SysOp.
02/09/91
--------
Added reference to answered message to MDS message.
02/06/91
--------
Increased program stack size.
01/27/91
--------
Logon no longer allows middle names.
Directory menu display now correct when more than 9 DIRECTORY= entries.
01/24/91
--------
Fixed bug where if ((MSGLINES > 25) and (MSGRECS=0)) then system crash.
01/15/91
--------
Fixed bug where DIRECTORY= only allowed 10 entries instead of 25.
01/12/91
--------
Added (P)rogram Descriptions reminder when (F)iles command is displayed.
01/11/91
--------
Fixed ZIPCODE bug in the induction module.
01/06/91
--------
Added DOS API for EXPERIENCED MaxiHost users to be able to add/change
.CNF entries, display text files, disconnect the caller, etc. from
BATCHON, BATCHOFF, TRAPDOOR, and EVENT batch files. Use of this
interface is on your own initiative. Minimum support will be provided.
Improper use of this facility could compromise the security of the
system. These features are being tested to see if they provide any
real value, and may be removed from future releases if they prove too
complex for the average user and/or support of them become too time
consuming.
01/01/91
--------
Changed BATCHOFF= syntax to accept one of the following: Y, N, B, A
where:
N disables BATCHOFF
A executes BATCHOFF.BAT after logoff
Y or B executes BATCHOFF.BAT before logoff
Increased DIRECTORY= count from 10 to 25.
%BAUD% in PROTOCOL statements now send the callers connect rate
%UART% in PROTOCOL statements added to send the host's DTE rate
Fixed bug where new caller couldn't pause the NEWUSER.?01 screens.
12/01/90
--------
Cleaned up Reply Thread. Must start with new database or run 'CLRTHRED.EXE'
and then reindex. (Make backup of MAXIMAIL.* first!)
MAXIMAIL.THR is no longer used.
11/25/90
--------
Added word wrap to program descriptions.
11/24/90
--------
Callers can now enter keys during menu displays.
11/22/90
--------
Moved BATCHON.BAT execution to just after logon, and before NEWUSER file.
Moved BATCHOFF.BAT execution to AFTER logoff has occured, no carrier present.
Added 24 line pause when displaying message text in MDS.
Added message 'No NEW programs available' if known caller has none.
Batch Downloads 1) Check for existance of downloaded files.
2) Checks ALL files/wildcards for file protection.
3) Prevents downloading files when insufficient time left.
11/11/90
--------
Added SHOWSWAPMSG=Y/N for those who wish to disable the
'Swapping MAXIHOST Out' message.
Added QUIET=Y to disable logon beep.
Added 'New Files Only' option within (P)rogram Descripts for known users.
Added UPLOADINPLACE=n where if a caller had UPLOADINPLACE or above security
then uploads would go to the currently logged in directory.
Fixed bug where MH would error out if there were no TRAPDOOR= entries
in MAXIHOST.CNF
Added feature to allow caller to CANCEL automatic logoffs such as after
Download or Comment to the SysOp.
10/25/90
--------
Added BATCHON=Y/N and BATCHOFF=Y/N. Setting BATCHON=Y causes MH to
call the batch file BATCHON.BAT after a caller has viewed the bulletins
and before checking for mail, and setting BATCHOFF=Y causes MH to call
the batch file BATCHOFF.BAT after the caller logs off. This allows for
for programs such as fortune, checking a BADUSER.TXT file for bad words
and briefly turning off DTR if a match is found, and other things. The
logoff file can leave callers a personal message, etc. This enhancement
is a result of many requests for it.
Modem is now reset after an Event has been called.
10/19/90
--------
Added (D)elete by Record function to the Message Data System. This is
useful for restoration of a corrupted database.
09/28/90
--------
Fixed routine that prevented TRAPDOOR.BAT from being called. Entering a
TRAPDOOR= keyword in the .CNF would call TRAPDOO1.BAT however.
09/28/90
--------
Extended eXpert mode into Trapdoor and Change Directory menus.
09/15/90
--------
Redesigned text file display routine to allow for bulletins without CR/LF's
09/03/90
--------
Exiting a TrapDoor menu item now returns you to the TrapDoor menu again
instead of all the way back to the main menu.
08/27/90
--------
Found (finally!) and fixed bug that occurs when Viewing bulletins.
08/22/90
--------
Added automatic logoff option to download menu.
Fixed bug in Induction module causing garbaged display.
