HISTORY FILE FOR 4 SQUARE
=========================
Version 2.3
-----------
Recompiled with new doorframe and door now runs in local mode.
Version 2.2
-----------
This version recompiled because a new qbserial was put into doorframe and
was probably the cause of some problems when using fossil drivers.
NOTE: Ted Freeman died on July 13, 1993 and had asked that I continue his
programs. They have all been added to the Livewire Collection of doors.
Version 2.1
-----------
(06-22-93)
It's here at last! This version now works with PCBoard/M. According to the
current info I have, it also works with the Wildcat! IM version as well.
let me know if you run into any problems on either of these two systems.
Version 2.0
-----------
(03-14-93)
Tweaked the ANSI detection routine some so hopefully those messages about
no ANSI detected when it is actually there will go away.
(02-09-93)
Finally got around to expanding the COM port range. COM 0 thru 15 is
now supported.
(01-07-93)
That old problem with the time expired when the Display was toggled off
in PCBoard popped up again! Fixed one more time (gotta quit changing things).
Version 1.9
-----------
(11-01-92)
This Door now offers support for FOSSIL drivers! This new feature makes
it compatible with most multi-port boards. If you wish to use a Fossil
driver, rather than the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command
line when running the Door. For example: 4SQUARE 4SQUARE.CNF /FD
Version 1.8
-----------
(10-10-92)
Had reports of conflicts when using non-standard IRQ's on Novell/Netware
systems. Seems Novell also uses the / character on the command line so
something went screwy somewhere. So I added the * (asterisk) which may be
used instead of the / in case of a conflict. In other words, /%IRQ% and
*%IRQ% will both work and are interchangeable.
(09-25-92)
It appears that different installations of PDS produces different versions
of the BRT71EFR.EXE run-time module which aren't compatible with each other.
Therefore, this Door is now compiled stand-alone. You no longer need to have
the run-time module for this Door.
(09-23-92)
Fixed a bug when restoring the screen after Chat or Drop to DOS. It would
generate an illegal function call whenever it hit a blinking character.
We now have support for the 30-something line DOOR.SYS file as well as
the 52-line one.
Corrected some errors in writing the SFDOORS.DAT file. Specifically the
COMPORT% and DAILY.BYTES.ALWD& variables.
(09-11-92)
Finally installed the screen restore when coming back from Chat or a Drop
to Dos. It will now put the screen back like it was including anything typed
at an input prompt. If you had entered anything before the interruption,
that is restored and you can pick up right where you left off!
Version 1.7
-----------
(09-04-92)
You should notice a marked improvement in speed while displaying boxes
and ANSI graphics.
(08-27-92)
This version is mainly a maintenance release to take advantage of new
features and bug fixes in the DoorFrame door utility library that is used
in compiling this door.
Version 1.6
-----------
(06-24-92)
Added direct support for the TriBBS software. TRIBBS.SYS is both read and
written.
Version 1.5
-----------
(05-25-92)
If you are running under Wildcat!, this door now returns an Error Level
of 1 when exiting and an Error Level of 62 for all other systems. Hopefully
some of you can utilize these Error Levels when returning to the BBS.
(05-15-92)
We now have support for GT Power systems. The .CNF file is a little
different for GT. The COM port goes on line 5 and the Node number goes on
line 6. If you are a registered user of 4 Square then your registration
number goes on line 7.
Version 1.4
-----------
(04-18-92)
If you are using a non-standard IRQ, you may use an environment variable
instead of specifying the actual IRQ number. Syntax is:
4SQUARE 4SQUARE.CNF /%IRQ%
Version 1.3
-----------
(03-19-92)
4 Square will now recognize the PCBoard %PCBDRIVE% and %PCBDIR%
environment variables. For example, if your path to PCBOARD.SYS is
C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS, you can use %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\PCBOARD.SYS instead
and 4 Square will substitute the drive and directory. This allows multi-
node systems to use just one 4SQUARE.CNF even if the paths are different
for each node!
Version 1.2
-----------
(03-07-92)
A problem with determining the path for the graphics bulletin has been
fixed.
Changed from Quickbasic 4.5 to the BASCOM 7.1 compiler. Make sure you
have a copy of BRT71EFR.EXE in your path!
Version 1.1
-----------
Added the caller's time left to the input prompt.
Version 1.0
-----------
Initial release.
