Revision history
------------------
You may notice gaps between some revision levels. The gapped
levels were never released but I still numbered them anyway to make
my development tracking more accurate and complete.
12 Jan 90 Fri
First distributed copy.
18 Jan 90 Thu : v 1.2.2
■ Added timeout warning beep.
■ Added timed out key press beeps.
■ Enhanced CPASS program.
23 Jan 90 Tue : v 1.2.3
■ CPASS altered to append a C/R to password to force user
to hit enter to complete password. This was done to reduce
user confusion about not hitting enter - so make him hit it.
25 Jan 90 Thu : v 1.2.6
■ Added pop up window that says "Keyboard Locked. Enter password"
with single 1/2 second tone when window appears.
■ Removed locked keyboard beeps.
29 Jan 90 Mon : v 1.3.2
■ Fixed bug with pop up window.
■ Fixed timeout warning beep. Used to beep solid if key struck
while tone was on. Not anymore.
■ Added code to Cpass giving choice of wether trailing CR on
password was forced or not.
31 Jan 90 Wed : v 1.4.1
■ Fixed stack problem.
03 Feb 90 Sat : v 1.4.2
■ Changed color of pop up window. Made border blink.
05 Fep 90 Mon : v 1.4.3
■ New packaging. Code is same as TimeLock v 1.4.2.
06 Fep 90 Tue : v 1.5.1
■ Pop up window/beep is now optional. Used to always appear.
■ Cpass forgot about the CR override ('@' before password)
if defaulted on subsequent configuration of TimeLock. Fixed!
(Cpass remembers that you used @<pw> on last Cpass execution)
18 Feb 90 Sat : v 1.6.1
■ Optional instant timeout at program load. (timelock !)
06 Mar 90 Tue : v 1.6.2
■ Fixed: Passwords entered in upper case during CPASS
configuration are now properly folded to lower case. TimeLock
converts ALL input to lower case. Although the fix was easy, this
bug was a major problem to folks who keep CapsLock engaged.
24 Mar 90 Sat : v 2.1.1
■ TimeLock completely rewritten.
■ Bug Fixed: Speaker no longer 'ticks' between warning beep and
lockout. This was only apparent on some PCs.
10 Apr 90 Tue : v 2.1.3
■ TLPatch (formerly cpass) completely rewritten. MUCH easier to use
and more flexible! No longer a sloppy config utility, now 1st rate!
■ Pop up window and locked keyboard attention tone now independently
enabled/disabled.
■ Various timers were made user configurable:
■ Duration of timeout warning tone.
■ Duration of locked keyboard attention tone.
■ Time allowed to key in password before automatic queue flush.
■ Now detects if already loaded - no duplicate loading.
■ Enhanced the instant lockout feature. 'TimeLock !' will instantly
lock keyboard at either load time or subsequent execution.
11 Apr 90 Tue : v 2.2.2
■ Now compatible with Banyan VINES purple 25th line messages!!!
■ System clock interrupt # (x'08',x'1C') now user selectable in case
of interference by other poorly designed software.
■ Now works with monochrome adapters (MDA) along with CGA/EGA/VGA.
■ Lockout times over 30:00 now work. Used to instantly lock.
■ Minor bugs in TLPatch fixed.
■ Long lockout and warning times no longer hang TLPatch.
■ Bug with internal user interrupt available detection code fixed.
28 Apr 90 Fri : v 2.3.3
■ TLPatch now has scrollable help. This allows help to be much
more verbose.
■ Fixed an even smaller bug in the TLPatch user interrupt already
in-use detection code.
■ Added an instant lockout hot key. Actual lockout key is 'L'.
The multi-key combination pressed and held just prior to the
lockout key is definable by the user. Assembler code is now
in place to make the addition of other hot keys simple. More
hot keys will follow soon.
03 May 90 Thu : v 2.3.5
■ Fixed multi-key combo configuration code in TLPatch.
■ Fixed bug with 'timelock !' instant lockout code - no longer
crashes.
I know it appears that TimeLock sees many upgrades and fixes. I
do this to ensure that people always have the latest version. I fix
bugs just as soon as they're discovered or reported and release the
new version. I don't pile up fixes for months and then apply them
but rather get the new code out fast.
Each upgrade generally includes a new feature as well as fixing
a bug (usually minor) in the previous version.
Thanks for your interest in TimeLock !!!
