Created March 17, 1992.
Written by Colin Wheat of Fidonet 3:690/613
OS/2 Version ported by Graham J Stair of 3:711/409
CHANGES FOR VERSION 2.01
* Changed the total records display on the Edit and Browse screens to
match the zero based numbering scheme.
* Changed the -& command line control to -I. -& does 'other' things under
OS/2.
* Fixed a problem with the lastread clensing code. Somewhere along the line
Scott changed the msgtype data values and I missed it :(.
* Fixed a couple whline() calls in UEDIT.C and STAT.C. Removed the beta
version number from the OS/2 code, and changed the About screen to
display "Mar 92".
* Added a -& command line switch, which turns off the mouse sensitivity
setting. Problems are possible with some mouse drivers, IMOUSE.COM for
one. Thanks to Brian Hampson for his help tracking this down.
* The -D Debug command line switch now supports sorting by the lastread
pointer.
* Updated the utilities EXTADD and EXTPACK. Added EXPRPT to the package.
* Added a "Save Configuration Changes" prompt to the shutdown code, on
Graham's suggestion.
* Fixed several screens so that Ctrl-Enter exits with changes.
* Added several Global screens; Expiry, Keys, and Credit/Debit. These have
not had extensive testing. We'll see how many slip-ups I made in due
course :-).
* Modified the Global delete screen to include a calls made selection,
as suggested by Jesse Hollington. Also included is an override days
kill setting that ignores the calls settings on each priviledge entry.
This seems necessary to avoid the number of calls from preventing
deletion of records in the looong term.
* The addition of the above changes have forced extensions to the
configuration file. It's no longer compatable with v2.00 versions.
UEDit v2.01 can load and update a v2.00 CFG file if found however.
* The edit screen now supports editing the lastread pointer during
debug mode (-d command line option).
* Fixed a bug in the Edit screen introduced with the Comments field
introduction. Edits to the 'Calls to the system' field now ARE saved when
the comments field is in view. Thanks Tom Hall for pointing this out.
* Fixed long standing bug in the Browse section, exposed during PgUp with
the new 16 lines screen and certain size user files. A buffer sync
problem in browse read_rec.
* Changed record indication on the Edit and Browse screens to Zero
based, to more easily allow use of the ###.BBS Opus style custom welcome
screens. A special request by Jeffrey Nonken.
* Fixed an edit screen display problem when changing the 'Comments field
display' flag from the Configuration menu.
* Added another display screen to the Browse screen PAN feature. New fields
now available for browsing are; Expiry, Password, Last Call Date, UpLoad,
DnLoad, Credit, and Debit.
* Fixed a bug in the statistics free routine in the Pack command. UEDit now
DOES rescan the statistics after a Pack command rather than displaying
the freed memory block <gulp>. Thanks to Billy Cash for pointing this
one out.
* Changed the date format character from / to -.
* Added a record update profile function, supporting eight configurable
'user profiles'.
* Added a /G### command line switch, providing a startup at specific
record function.
* Fixed a BIOS mode bug recently introduced.
* Fixed the lastcall date Edit screen update write location after a date
mode change.
* Added Edit screen Expiry date updating after a date mode change.
* Merged the initial OS/2 port code.
* UEDit now includes an index by telephone option on the index menu.
* Added a '-F<name>' command line switch to specify an alternate USER.BBS
file name, for those people wanting to run multiple user file systems.
* Added capitalisation (fancy string) to the password string during Edit
saving.
* Changed the password character mask to allow all characters for our
high bit european friends.
* Reformatted the Edit screen to allow for planned new fields in the user
record. Reformatted the Browse and Global screens to match. The main
screens are now one row larger.
* Added a Credit set deletion flag to the Global deletion system. This setting
is stored in the configuration file.
* Removed excess code from the Browse screen pan function, reducing the pan
screens from four to two. TAB and <shift>TAB both now wrap between
the alternate displays.
* Added date format display selection on the configuration menu. The setting
is stored in the configuration file.
* Fixed the EXpiry edit screen date entry to skip over the '/' characters
during editing. Thanks to Simon Blears for pointing out the problem.
Added out of range check for year values less than 80. Current allowed
year range is (19)80 - (19)99. This is a data format limitation.
Changed the field entry key masks to allow ' ' (space) characters for
day, month and year, to avoid problems with selectable date formats.
* Changed the Edit screen Edit command's date and time field entry to work
as the EXpiry modification above.
* Fixed a possible display buffer overrun in the statistics display screens.
* Changed record addition CLS status to default to ON.
