  16.                         -Cosmetic changes.
  17.  
  18.     02/24/92 -  v1.9    -fixed bug in filename input routine.  Door would
  19.                          sometimes crash when users entered filenames without
  20.                          marking them first.
  21.  
  22.     02/25/92 -  v1.9A   -added better configuration checking.
  23.  
  24.     02/25/92 -  v1.9B   -added options in VIEWPIX.CNF (config file) to allow
  25.                          for non-standard com port setups.  Sysops can include
  26.                          port #, IRQ, IOBase address, parity, and stop bits to
  27.                          config file if so needed.  Here's the way the config
  28.                          file would look:
  29.  
  30.   Standard Setup (no weird com stuff)  Non-Standard Setup
  31.   -----------------------------------  ---------------------------------------
  32.    c:\gap                                c:\gap

  42.                                          #### <-IOBase address (decimal only!)
  43.                                          #    <- parity (0 = NO parity)
  44.                                          #    <- data bits (8 = normal)
  45.  
  46.     02/25/92 -  v1.9C   -fixed a small problem (not really a bug) in the
  47.                          error trapping routine.  Door will now properly exit
  48.                          back to BBS if program error occurs.
  49.  
  50.     02/28/92 -  v1.9D   -optimized the code a bit.  Was told the above port
  51.                          addressing actually works! (a programming 1st for me).
  52.  
  53.     02/29/92 -  v1.9E   -maintenance release.  I forgot to turn on the door's
  54.                          error checking routines.  Dressed up configuration
  55.                          screen a bit.
  56.  
  57.     03/05/92 -  v1.9F   -ViewPix sometimes "loses it's place" and can't find
  58.                          its way back to the directory from which it's being
  59.                          executed.  Added routines to fix this problem.
  60.  
  61.     04/18/92 -  v1.9G   -Added option to search function so users can begin
  62.                          searching from anywhere within a directory.  Also
  63.                          added a file counting routine that shows users that
  64.                          the door is actually doing something during a search.
  65.  
  66.     04/19/92 -  v1.9H   -Added file sizes to listings.  Changed listing header
  67.                          to show dir name and number of files in dir.
  68.  
  69.     04/27/92 -  v1.9I   -IMPORTANT!!!  Changed Config file format.  See below.
  70.  
  71.             NOTE: The config file has one less line than previous versions.
  72.

  78.                                           to DIR & LST files (NO EXTENSION)
  79.                   6-    F:              <-Work disk (or "NONE")
  80.                   7-    7               <-Default VP setup (see DOC file)
  81.                   8-    456789          <-Default setup choices (see DOC)

  83.                  10+                    <- "   "   "      "       " 
  84.  
  85.                         -Added VPCOMP utility to compile directory listings
  86.                          so ViewPix can search and sort dirs MUCH FASTER.
  87.                          Place VPCOMP anywhere on your system and type VPCOMP
  88.                          to see the command line arguments for this utility
