[v3.0] Added a new Door to the InterBBS family.. HI-LO
Will now trim spaces from the end of the text lines in then
IBBSNODE.HUB file
01/15/95
[v2.9] Added a new Door to the InterBBS family.. ACEY DEUCEY!
Added a new Door to the InterBBS family.. Word STAIRWAY
Added a new Door to the InterBBS family.. WORD WAR
A new file will be created at the end of each month, for each
InterBBS Door, that will list the Top 10 scores from the prior
month. The file will use the Doorname found on the InterBBS
command line plus an extension of "T10". The file will be
created by the HUB and should be made available for Node
downloading as is the combined score file.

[v2.8] We encountered a very strange problem relating to one of the
scores in the LADDERS game. A score was being generated that
would cause the LADDERS door to error out with an ILLEGAL
FUNCTION CALL (Error #5). We have made a change to this program
to filter out any such occurance that may be generated from any
other Door.
If a player wins the game for the month AND is playing on a BBS
that has not registered that particular Door game, that player
will be bypassed and the next player from a registered BBS will
be decalred the winner. Prior versions of InterBBS did not make
a distinction between registered and unregistered.
05/11/94
[v2.7] With this release you can now maintain only ONE InterBBS.LOG
file or continue to have individual LOG files in each Door
directory. To maintain ONE LOG file you MUST SET an IBBSLOG
environmental variable. To SET this variable enter the
following in your Autoexec.BAT file: SET IBBSLOG=C:\UTILITY\
(assumming you wish to keep the LOG in your UTILITY directory)
If you wish to continue maintaining separate LOG files DO NOT
USE AN ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE. You should be forewarned that if
you are using the environmental variable you MUST run your
INTERBBS programs single stream ( one at a time ) as the LOG
file will not behave well if more than one InterBBS program is
trying to access it at one time!!!
03/20/94
[v2.6] There were some reports of a 'file already open' errors.
03/04/94
[v2.5] On several occasions players have shown up in the score file
with number of games played higher than mathematically possible
during the month. We have put in a check to ensure that these
scores are NOT figured into the high score of the month. They
will still show daily, but will not be figured in when
calculating the HIGH SCORE for the month.
There have been a number of reports that the scores from a prior
month were still in the ISC file for SOME games. This meant that
the current month scores were not being reflected, although they
were being accumulated. Upon researching the problem I found
that the ISC file was not being deleted during the monthly
maintenance cycle. The InterBBS program will now check to see if
there are any entries in the ISC from a month other than the
current one. If entries of this nature are found, the ISC file
will be deleted and will be recreated the next time the door
is played.
01/01/94
[v2.4] Under certain conditions, **Not Registered** was still showing
in the High Score files, even though the Door was registered.
12/16/93
[v2.3] BBS' were being rejected, even though the correct information
was in the IBBSNODE.HUB file. The program was looking for ALL
uppercase characters only, in the IBBSNODE.HUB file. This
version fixes that and allows for the use of mixed
upper/lowercase characters.
Added BaseBall Dice to the eligible InterBBS Doors
Added Concentration to the eligible InterBBS Doors
11/15/93
[v2.2] Prior to this version, the program would only recognize that you
were either a HUB or a NODE. If a Node, you HAD to upload your
InterBBS files DIRECTLY to a HUB where all consolidation would
take place. With this version of INTERBBS we are introducing
another level called a REGIONAL. A REGIONAL can have as many
NODES as they wish. Their NODES will send their INTERBBS files
to the REGIONAL who in turn combines them and sends them on to
the HUB. In turn the REGIONAL would then pick up the most
current combined score files and make them available to the
NODES. In this way only the REGIONAL has to call to the HUB.
A REGIONAL MUST maintain the node number assigned by the HUB
but may assign any numbers to their NODES.
Command Line Examples
---------------------
Node : INTERBBS Monte Monte.cfg
Hub : INTERBBS Monte Monte.cfg HUB
Regional: INTERBBS Monte Monte.cfg REGIONAL
If duplicate entries showed up in the ISC files, InterBBS would
delete them. However, they would not be deleted immediately if
the dates were equal, rather the program would wait for the
dates to be different. The logic has been changed to delete the
dupes on the same day it finds it.
NODES (not a HUB and not a REGIONAL) will only export scores
from their BBS, but will import normally. This will mean smaller
export files... thus less time online.
Added a check to ensure that a node number can not be 000. If
found an appropriate error message will be posted in the log.
Layout of the log file revised... should make it a little
easier to read.
Revised the log entries. If scores are being bypassed because
they are not scores for the current month, we will only list
the error line once with a count of the number of scores
bypassed for that incomming file.
When running as a NODE the program was not creating an EXPORT
file when the program was run on the 1st of the month.
Renamed the ERRORS.RPT file to ERRORS.TXT
Added a new file to the Zip, called CFGVALUE.TXT, that contains
a matrix of all the values that must match exactly to the HUB
or REGIONAL you are calling.
A new file is required for ALL HUBS and REGIONALS. This file,
IBBSNODE.HUB, will contain information about ALL the BBS'
participating in the Sunrise InterbBS games. A detailed
description of the file can be found in the INTERBBS.DOC file.
10/05/93
[v2.1] Made some changes to the Errors generated when there is a
problem processing the InterBBS files. These errors are
recorded in the InterBBS.LOG file.
Added a File called Errors.RPT that will contain an
explanation of each error for each of the InterBBS Doors.
09/14/93
[v2.0] Speeded up the initial loading of the program
Added some duplicate checking when loading the current .ISC
file. If duplicates are found they will be deleted and each
deleted entry will be logged to the INTERBBS.LOG file.
09/02/93
[v1.9] Added Triple Yahtzee to the InterBBS capable list
08/30/93
[v1.8] Added Rescue to the InterBBS capable list
Was not handling the Sweeps entry correctly.
08/30/93
[v1.7] Added Betsy Ross to the InterBBS capable list.
Added Groan Dice to the InterBBS capable list.
Added Sweepstakes to the InterBBS capable list.
08/27/93
[v1.6] Added 3-Pair Poker to the InterBBS capable list.
Added Hiroll Dice to the InterBBS capable list.
08/23/93
[v1.5] As of this release, the number of make-up days, previously
required to be exactly as the HUB, can be set individually
by each Node. In other words, you can have as many make-up
days as you wish or none at all.
Will now process unregistered door files properly.
