This is the WINK history file (WINK.HIS) and it contains a log of
releases and instructions for performing a quick upgrade from the
previous version.
--- WINK 1.1.0 [ -NOV-92] -------------------------------------------
Review the FUTURE PLANS of WINK.DOC to see what is coming up. Many of
these items are already in beta test, but you knew that didn't you.
If there is a WINK.HLP file in the directory where WINK runs, then it
will be displayed to the user when they first enter the door. See
WINK.DOC for more info.
There are now a number of new ways to obtain WINK, see WINK.DOC.
Display help screen on startup and make help more clearly available.
The naming convention for WINK distribution filenames and magic names
has changed, and a new magic freq name has been added. Please take
note. This should be stable, so feel free to make WINK available on
your systems, if you like, using this convention.
Uploaded messages now have correct time, not just 11 o'clock, which
happened to be the current month number.
CONTROL.DAT now uses "AreaName: AreaTitle" for Opus 1.7x
Fixed problem where some tear lines are not stripped.
Sysop status bar at bottom of screen is now turned off.
All last read pointers are now updated, even sysop, this includes:
Opus 1.1x - LASTUSxx.DAT, area\LASTREAD
Opus 1.7x - area\LREAD.DAT, area\LASTREAD if in BBS.PRM
WINK resets all directories on all disks back to their original values,
which will eliminate the problem with not being able to reenter WINK.
Added a DOOR.ID file to outbound QWK packets. It is not required, but
will be used in the future.
The List areas menu option now presents this information. A flag summary
is shown at the bottom of each page. The help screen now has a second
page to describe this information.
000 1234 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 (9999999999)
Where:
0 - area number
1 - 'S' if Selected, '-' if not
2 - 'W' if Write access, '-' if readonly
3 - 'P' for Personal messages only, 'A' for All messages
4 - 'V' if priVate allowed, '-' if public only
8 - full area title
9 - QWK area name
Removed space in CONTROL.DAT between door registration # and bbsid, and
made bbsid uppercase. This was causing a problem with some readers,
such as BlueWave.
--- WINK 1.0.1 [12-NOV-92] -------------------------------------------
Made comments in WINK.DOC about multiline usage.
Noted in WINK_CFG.DOC that the NEWFILES variable MUST be a filename
that ends with NEWFILES.DAT. Be sure to modify your CFG file.
Fixed bug when LOGON, LOGOFF, or NEWS are not defined which caused
some readers to go beserk.
Fixed bug where STRIPHIGHASC=YES caused WINK to think you had uploaded
more messages or forged messages.
Fixed bug where only Private personal messages went into the QWK
PERSONAL.NDX. Now Public personals go too.
--- WINK 1.0.0 [10-NOV-92] -------------------------------------------
This is the initial release and the following instructions are a copy
of those found in the QUICK START section of WINK.DOC.
- copy all files to your Opus directory
- rename the appropriate EXE version to WINK.EXE
- edit WINK.CFG and follow directions listed there
- add an Opus menu option, for example:
_OUTSIDE Normal "WINK" = DOS c:\opus\wink.exe
- time to rock-n-roll (Rush preferred)
NOTE: The quick start CFG file requires that PKZIP,
PKUNZIP, and DSZ be located in your PATH.
