┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ MUE Maximus User Editor v0.14wb ∙ History ∙ Wide Beta Version │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
v0.01ß thru v0.04ß:
These versions were for just the basic screen colors, layouts, and
basic i/o routines.
v0.05ß:
At Gary Gilmore's suggestion, I added a second color option in the
configuration menu. I really liked his suggestion over my version, I
left the old version in as some beta testers liked it. Also, added
the purge menu option stuff though the actual purge routine wasn't
quite finished in this version.
v0.06ß:
Finished the purge routines. Purging from the command line is now
possible with MUE. I also added time slicing for those using Win95,
OS/2 has had it since the first version...
v0.07wb:
This was the first wide beta version released.
v0.08wb:
Corrected a problem in the Key Label definitions. Seems if you put a
value in the A-G keys they'd actually be saved in the Q-W positions.
Corrected a problem when entering values greater than 65535 in the
Matrix Credit/Debit fields, by default this also corrected some of the
other fields too. Note that a value cannot exceed 65535 due to
limitations in the field sizes as defined by Scott Dudley. Thanks to
Bill Cooper for the heads up on both of these mites!
Fixed the ChatA flag option. (Boy, I never dreamed I had this many
critters in this program!) :-) Seems I had reversed the logic so it
was reporting the reverse value. Thanks to Jack Smith for reporting
this one!
Implemented the page up/down keys in this version. Currently set to a
value of 10. Thanks to Michael Kirst for reminding me to implement
them.
MUE will no longer display a Sysop level user's password regardless of
the show password option. The only way to see a sysop's password is
by pressing the W key to change it. This is a minor attempt to keep
prying eyes from knowing them. Thanks again to Michael Kirst for this
suggestion.
I broke the time portion in the 1Call and LCall fields. These are now
fixed. Thanks to Jack Smith for reporting this error.
Fixed a problem with packing/purging users. If a USER.EXT file didn't
exist, MUE would blow up with an error. This is fixed now. Thanks to
Bill Cooper for reporting this error.
v0.09wb:
Corrected yet another problem in the Key Label definitions. This one
is very embarrassing, I was displaying key choices 1 thru 9 and A thru
W. Should be (and is now) 1 thru 8, A thru X. Thanks to Michael Kirst
once again for noticing and reporting this mite! For those that
defined your keys, they will be skewed by one after key 8. Sorry about
this, but you'll have to reenter your definitions.
Finally got the LIst option working. Of course the milage on this one
will undoubtedly vary for you. :-) If there are any mites left, most
likely it will be in this new routine. Please let me know if you find
any!
v0.10wb:
Fixed the LCall field not being displayed in the LIst routines. - LC
Also, corrected a display problem in the fourth screen, the MtxCrd and
MtxDbt fields were overflowing. Also corrected a minor screen paint
error. Thanks to Gary Zarzycki for pointing these out.
Finally implemented the displaying of the Key definitions. The key
definition is now displayed in the Expire field when editing users keys
(pressing K).
Corrected a logic flaw with the /g command line switch. I was setting
the value to 1 if a number specified was greater than the last user
record. Per Phil Roberts suggestion, MUE will simply jump to the last
user record under these circumstances.
v0.11wb:
This is the first version made available via FTP, I'll leave it up to
Gary Gilmore to distribute it via the FDN since this version expires
on 3/31/97.
v0.12wb:
At Gary Zarzycki's suggestion, I moved the page number box (LIst mode)
to the bottom of the screen and added a background color to help make
it a little more readable. Thanks Gary!
Fixed a bug in my routine for the OS/2 version that due to a typo
wasn't releasing timer ticks, MUEP was sucking 100% of the CPU...
v0.13wb:
Fixed the D052 or P052 error when packing or purging the user base
again. Temporary fix for this if it comes back again is to simply
add a description to any user record, I recommend your user record as
it's not likely to be deleted and thus recreate the error later. To
add a description, load MUE(p) and on your user record press E to edit
and then press your up arrow key once to highlight Description. Press
enter and enter a description, any text will do for this purpose.
This will create the USER.EXT file and should prevent the error.
Added the ability to pass a config file name to MUE(p). With this, it
is possible to use different configurations. The switch for this is
/c. Example: MUE(p) /cD:\MUE\MUE001.CFG
Added a Sort option. This can be accessed by pressing Ctl-S or Esc >
File > Sort from the main menu. This option strictly sorts in memory.
I see no need at this time to permanently sort the user file. As
usual, I have tested this quite a bit but if you find anything wrong
let me know.
v0.14wb:
Fixed a problem with the default for displaying the password not being
saved to the .CFG file. Thanks once again to Michael Kirst for
reporting this one.
Also fixed it to prompt with a nag notice to save any changes made for
the Sound and Show Password settings from the menu. Seems I forgot to
add checks for any changes made to these two settings. Now you'll be
nagged to save the .CFG file if you make changes without saving them.
Thanks to Michael Andrews I have fixed an problem with external
protocols not being listed in the available protocols. This only
affected those with external protocols.
Added a secondary sort when sorting the user base by AccessLvl, now
user names are sorted by last name within their respective AccessLvl.
Added Global Key Settings. With this I changed the menu a bit, there
is now a Global menu choice. Within this menu you can choose the Key
Settings, Purge Settings, and Sort the user base.
I have created a document for this beast as now. I'll reserve this
file for the purpose of changes made and use the document file to
explain the uses of any new features.
Enjoy!
