- History of PCB/ProDOOR changes (in reverse order)
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- 28-Feb-89
- Changes to prevent improperly initialized user records due to the
- action of RECYCLE in conjunction with logoff through sub-doors.
- Corrected line counting in (J) and (B) functions to match PCBoard.
- Disabled CTS handshake during going-offhook process to handle systems
- that do not assert CTS after carrier is lost.
- Disabled "high ascii filter" because of incompatibilities with
- PCBoard's meaning for this filter.
-
- 25-Feb-89
- THIS IS THE FINAL BETA FOR PRODOOR 2.9.
- PLEASE REPORT ANY PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY!
- RELEASE IS SCHEDULED FOR 3-1-89.
-
- Restored message pointer after failed zip scan.
- Changed descriptions of REPACK command. This will NOT convert file
- formats in prodoor 2.9. Look for a better repack in 3.0.
- Changed PROSM to not clear fields when the first character is changed.
- Implemented high-ascii filter in visual editor.
- NOTE: It appears that PCBoard 14.0 does NOT implement the high-ascii
- filter, even though PCBSETUP has an entry to control it.
-
- 22-Feb-89
- Corrected (REPACK) command as an alternate name for REARC.
- Clarified description of 'minimum level to join' as 'minimum level
- for auto-registration' in PROSM.
-
- 19-Feb-89
- Added a check in the (F V) X(tract) command and all other external
- shell commands for overlong command lines. Changed (ARCM) command
- to (ZIPM) command.
-
- 18-Feb-89
- Fixed missing newlines in message entry (broken 14-feb). Finished
- implementation of PROXZIP module for extract-partial-zipfile. Added
- new $TIME$ macro to allow ZIPTV to know the user's time-left instead
- of defaulting to 10 minutes. Added code to remove 'disappearing
- prompts' from ALT-F and ALT-P outputs.
-
- 17-Feb-89
- Working on PROXZIP.EXE to replace the function of PROXARC on
- zipfiles. Initial test release of ZIPTV with 'reduction' working but
- not 'shrinking'. ZIPTV001.ZIP is the first alpha version of ZIPTV.
- Both zipfile utilities should be working in the next week or so.
-
- 16-Feb-89
- Changed batch and config files to use PKZIP instead of PKPAK for
- systems that switch from .ARC to .ZIP as the default packed format.
- Took out PROSM's help system (it's too late for such a feature in
- this beta -- look for it in the next version). Changed PROSM to
- check for and fix config files with identical 'MAIL' and 'SCRATCH
- FILE' prefixes. These must be different to prevent "double
- flagging".
-
- 14-Feb-89
- Increased frequency of carrier lost/time limit checks in (B), (F),
- (L), (N), (Z) commands. Changes in message section to allow display
- of lines up to 80 characters long. Corrected line-length limits in
- message 'to:' and 'subject:' entries. Implemented a simple online
- help system in PROSM.
-
- 12-Feb-89
- Cosmetic changes in ARCM and 'auto register' messages.
- Added reminder messages in 'renumber conference' function.
- Internal changes in declarations of Qmail-3 conference flag bits.
- This beta freezes the functions and features for this release.
- The production 2.9 release is scheduled for 3-1-89 so please report
- any remaining bugs as soon as possible! Thanks.
-
- 11-Feb-89
- Implemented several new functions in PROSM - Insert group conference,
- remove group conference, pack extended user file and renumber
- conferences. Added a caller log entry when a user is automatically
- registered in a conference based on his security level.
-
- 06-Feb-89
- Cosmetic changes in message entry prompt. Added Qmail-3 compatible
- declarations in extended conference definition file.
-
- 04-Feb-89
- Added an message in INSTALL to explain PCBPROT.DAT changes and the
- related "missing shell file" error message in PCBoard. Improved
- handling of undefined protocol letters at protocol selection prompt.
-
- 03-Feb-89
- Corrected action of (F)ind user command. Tinkered with 'you have
- mail' logic during message entry. Added a check for valid inputs at
- 'new security level' and other numeric prompts.
-
- 01-Feb-89
- Changed (F)ind-user command to find "TO" user name if the "FROM" name
- is sysop. Added support for alternate language message files.
