Version Date Changes / Updates
------- -------- -----------------
1.0 07/30/91 Initial Release
1.1 08/01/91 Bug Fix Release
o Fixed a bug which prevented the menu files from being
found when the doorwas run from a directory other than
the featherNet HOME directory.
o Fixed a bug which caused a USER'S record to be trashed
when the (G)oodbye command was executed within the door.
o Added a paramater in the .CFG file for a batch file path
and Name which reinitializes the fossil driver after a
file transfer (As FeatherNet BBS does).
o Changed the Local logon ("/L") to a non-Expert mode
so the menu is displayed whn the door is entered.
o Changed the user record from the 'fnmail.usr' file to
positions 154 thru 178 in the bbs 'USERS' file.
o Included a utility called 'fixusers.exe' which will copy
all the information an existing 'fnmail.usr' file to the
'USERS' file. Run this utility from the bbs HOME
directory.
1.2 08/02/91 Another bug smashing release
o Fixed a problem with the users record getting trashed
o Fixed a problem with users' mail waiting flags not being
updated
o Added support to display the regular FeatherNet "BYE"
file when a user logs off with the (G) command within
FnetMail.
1.3 08/03/91 New Feature / Change to .cfg file Release
o FnetMail now will swap to EMS, XMS, or to Disk during
all SHELL functions (file transfers, ZIP / UNZIP)
if the sysop selects the option by entering a "Y" on the
appropriate line in the .CFG file.
o Now require the full path AND name of pkunzip and pkzip
files.
o Fixed an oversight in which 14.4k baud callers were
being allowed 0 Messages to D/L because there was no
setting for 14.4k baud. The paramater goes in the .cfg
file immediately after the 9600 baud Max Message
Paramater.
Note: Be sure you verify your .cfg file follows the NEW format
in the FnetMail.DOC file. (Compare it to "sample.cfg")
1.4 08/05/91 Bug Fix release and modified Unregistered Restrictions
o Had a nasty bug that was deleting most of a users
information whenever the door updated the users record.
I think this was caused by a restriction to the number of
conferences the door handled when unregistered. Well,
now the restrictions are: 100 Messages Max Allowed to be
captured. That is all.
That was really a bug. I didn't tell the program (never
would!) to trash a user's record.
1.4 08/07/91 o Added code to delete any files in work directory after
file transfers and processing are completed..
o Added support for DG and UG (goodbye after D/L or U/L)
1.5 08/17/91 Bug Fix and increased performance
o Fixed a problem which caused messages in multiple
conferences to always go into a higher numbered
conference if the next message was destined for a lower
numbered conference.
o Changed to an external routine for converting message
numbers to long integers and increased performance over
200%.
1.6 08/25/91 Bug Fix and Modified Output when Downloading
o Fixed a bug which prevented a user from Accessing a
a conference he should have access to. This occurred
if a conference was never joined in the bbs even if
the user had access to it.
o Changed to output when scanning conferences for new
messages to download to only display conferences the
user has flagged and which have new mail.
1.7 08/30/91 Added support for multiple, user configurable archive
formats
o Changed the .cfg file and the fnmail code to allow the
sysop to specify the archive formats he wants to support.
There may be a maximum of 10 archive formats supported.
The sample.cfg file has been updated with 4 popular
archive format configuration to be used as a guide.
See 'fnetmail.dos' for the description of the .cfg file
changes/requirements as of this version.
1.8 11/11/91 Fixed a problem which caused incorrect conference numbers
to be exported and imported.
1.9 11/30/91 o Now supports a tagline to attach on exported messages
o Added to the configuration a path to both the REP and
QWK packets for local uploads and downloads.
o Fixed the long-time elusive bug which caused users to
be confronted with the 'you have downloaded your limit'
placard when just the opposite was true.
o Made numerous changes to the code's general operation.
Added code to grab the COMSPEC from DOS instead of
assuming COMMAND.COM was the interpreter.
o Fixed a bug which prevented 'authorized' conferences to
be selected under certain conditions.
2.0 03/01/92 o Fixed a bug which would cause a crash when scanning for
new files if the upload description file was not located
in the bbs home directory and named "UPLOADS"
2.1 06/21/92 o Replaced "fosil" serial routines with internal serial
I/O routines. Fossil driver no longer used.

4.1 06/09/93 o Modified the code to reset the *old* high message read
pointer to the new high message read value when a .PTR
file is uploaded or the high message read pointer(s)

the HUB's SysOp name.
