BBS Informant Revision History
04-11-95 ■ Version 1.05
. Fixed a problem where a BBS node could appear to hang after
a user entered a new BBS entry into the database. (The node
did not time out, since it was not in a loop waiting for
input from the com port.)
. Changed the length of the BBS Name and Sysop Name fields
displayed on the Add/Edit Your BBS Info screen. Increased the
display of the BBS Name from 25 to 30 characters, and decreased
the display of the Sysop Name field from 24 to 19 characters.
This will allow longer BBS Names to be displayed on this screen.
. Added a "Use Fossil Driver" option in IConfig and on the Sysop's
menu to allow the sysop to select whether a Fossil driver should
be used. (The default is FALSE.)
. Removed the preliminary Digiboard, and Int 14 Redirection support,
since it was not being used at this time. (Door input/output
code does not yet support these options.)
04-07-95 ■ Version 1.04
. Modified code to redraw the entire main menu when a user presses
ENTER. (Previously, only the prompt was redrawn to reduce any
slowdowns.) This will address a minor problem that occurs with
the menu not being drawn properly after a user CANCELS an XModem
or YModem download transfer.
. Added code to make sure users can't enter a value for "Lines"
greater than 65535.
. Modified the display for "One-Line" list displays. When a
one-line list display is selected, the screen will now display
the BBS Name, Phone #1, Phone #1 Baud Rate, and Number of Lines.
(The previous display only contained the BBS Name and Phone #1.)
. Added support for BBS Informant to generate the ASCII text
download file in a temporary directory (TEMP0001, TEMP0002, etc),
to prevent network / multi-user conflicts.
. Added preliminary Digiboard, Fossil, and Int 14 Redirection support.
. Re-assigned the hot-keys on the main menu. ("D" for Display
Format has been changed to "F" for Format Of Display List.)
. Added support for BBS Informant to allow users to download
an ASCII text file containing all entries in the database.
This layout of this file will depend on the display format
currently selected. If the user has a One-Line, Concise, or
Expanded format selected, the ASCII file will be sent in a
One-Line, Concise, or Expanded format, respectively.
The layout of this file is similar (almost identical) to the
display format used for an expanded listing. A new option
("D" to Download) is available from the main menu. Protocols
supported are XModem, YModem, and ZModem.
. Added a new "Record Version" field to each database record
for internal tracking purposes.
. Added code to reorganize the database, converting the State/
Province field to a 4-character field. This will allow
users with versions 1.00 through 1.03 to upgrade to version
1.04 successfully. To upgrade an older version, simply
install the new program files and run the door from a BBS
node. The database will be converted automatically. (Note:
IConfig will issue an error message and will not run unless
the database has been properly converted!)
. Changed the State/Province field from a 2-character field
to a 4-character field for Canadian users. (United States
users will still only use a 2-character field mask.)
Modified each of the display format listings to allow for
the extra space needed to display the 4-character string.
. Fixed a minor problem where the display was not being updated
correctly on the Sysop's multi-page Add/Edit display. When
the database "wrapped" around to the first page, the first
entry in the database would be missing. (This entry would
re-appear when ENTER was pressed.)
04-05-95 ■ Version 1.03
. Added support for a one-line display format (in addition to
the concise and expanded formats) to be used when the
[L]ist option is selected for listing existing entries.
. Added support for non-ANSI users to enter and use the
BBS Informant door. (Standard ANSI users will not notice
any change, but non-ANSI users can now enter the door
successfully.)
. Fixed a minor display problem with the backdrop on various
screens. Synchronized all the backdrops to start with the
same character at the same position in the upper left corner.
03-29-95 ■ Version 1.02
. Added a "Registration Number" display to the main menu
to identify registered users. For non-registered users,
the word "Unregistered!" will appear.
. Fixed a few minor centering routine problems on the
opening screen.
03-28-95 ■ Version 1.01
. Added color enhancements to the main BBS Informant menu.
. Shortened the BBS Name field in the INI file from 50
characters to 40 characters. Updated ICONFIG.EXE with
the change.
. Fixed a problem where the first entry on the sysop's
add/edit menu would disappear if the sysop pressed ENTER
when there were less than 15 entries in the database.
. Added an option to display an Expanded or Concise list of
BBS information with the List option is selected from the
main menu. The pre-set default is Expanded, but sysops
can change the default setting by changing the "Display
Format" value from ICONFIG.EXE or from the Sysop's menu
inside the door.
03-25-95 ■ Version 1.00
. Initial release of BBS Informant.
