found a few small bugs too should be clean now I went through the
WHOLE Thing!

Other various optimizations

added support for non availability flag available in wwiv 4.24(but usable
in 4.23 by WWIVchat)
Users can now toggle and save their availability for paging
Ver 3.10A (Beta)
Here is the new stuff in 3.10 since last offial beta
1) allocatable slots in 4-way (ie 1st come 1st serve) as to which section
on the screen you get(so bbs with more than 4 instances can use 4-way
correctly)
2) redid the who command in 4-way and add a Info command that shows the
users names in 4-way and where they are from.
3) also along with the slots you can now tell when users leaves 4-way chat
(their block will empty)
4) Added user time support: has a warning message at 5 & 1 minutes left
as well as a command in CB and 4-way to check time left
5) just bunches of various little quirks and changes to make the thing
work better.
6) no more ctrl-p in 4-way I guess its a Borland C thing and its conio
won't let me get it before DOS so page is now ctrl-Q
7) WWIVChat now reads strings from BBS.STR file so you can edit them or
use different languages ect.
Ver 3.09D (Beta)
editting the chat dir in the INI file make sure you put a '\' at the end
of the path....
fixed
Ver 3.09A (Beta)
speeded up the 4-way this time too (hope it still works). Speeded the exit
so it doesn't take all day. Added support in CB chat when a user is forced
out(time expired, unreg timeout ect) it should send a msg saying user left
chat
19APR94
Wide Beta V 3.08
This is the 1st offical wide beta of the 3.XX series chats alot has changed
but most importantly WWIVCHAT now uses its own com routines so your BBS must
be modifed if you run 4.23 or edit eh WWIV.INI file if you run 4.24.
The config file has been done away with and is now replaced with an INI
file for WWIVCHAT. The .act & .hlp file now go in the gfiles dir.
The program now monitors users time while in the door.
The delay factor has been taklen out as the program has been optimized for
the best settings already.
No lockups when a user hangs up in chat(that why the com rouines were added)
K restriction now recognized (K restricts users from using chat)
Hopefully some speed increase although I can't do alot for Desqview as my
program requires alot of I/O and DV is slow in that respect
Revised the docs so hopefully you will be able to figure all the above
out<Grin>!
Ver 3.06 (Beta)
for u guys using DV mostly the one instance writing on another comm port....
should be fixed
Ver 3.05 (Beta)
should add vast speed improvement in CB chat (4-way was improved a couple
versions ago) Hopefully the thing still works ok
Ver 2.46A (Beta)
new version of chat Beta will hopefully monitor the user time while in the
door and boot them out if they don't type for 3 minutes...
Ver 2.45b (Beta)
6MAR94 (later that evening) Whopps I guess a bug has crept its way into
the code the Who command in 4-way what causing lockup due to a string size
error. Since this is a mjor funtion I thought I ought re-release it again.
6MAR94
Ver 2.45b (Beta)
Well I guess I forgot to write in here for the H ver bu this new ver
Has a few internal bugs clean that crashed the system. Hopefully runs
a little quicker too!
24DEC93

21NOV93
Ver 2.44d
Well due to all the complaints I received the pause on the opening screen
has been removed. Another less desirable method of protection is now in
use.
Changed the CB Chat delay factor. The base value is 125 instead of 20
for better control. Make sure to change this in your .CFG file if
upgrading.
optimized a few functions, increases BBS name field to the proper length.
People who are upload/downloading will not be availble for chat as it
should have been.
