- That's right! There's no read.me file with this package. I dare to
- be different and decided to have my 'readme' file named 'notes'.
- This file contains the revision history. Please read and print
- the file ICPR20.DOC before you start working with this package.
- Everything is menu driven, but you still have to know just what it
- all means. Please use and enjoy this package, and contact me with
- suggestions for improvement.

- REVISION HISTORY
- =====================================================================
-
- Revision 1.0
- Version: Procomm
- Name: ICPR10
-
- This package was originally distributed under the name INCMND,
- but I decided to expand this idea to be useful on most of the popular
- communications packages, since each has their own preference of comm
- packages. ICPR10 has an improved version if INCMND30. But, since I
- am starting the revisions at 1.0 and renaming it, we'll just assume
- that this is where is all begins...
-
-
- Revision 1.1
- Version: Procomm
- Name: ICPR11
-
- This revision was only going to be a bug fix but I decided to go
- ahead and change the part that irks most of you and me as well. Don't
- you hate having to wait for ICPR10 to recognize when a bbs is busy and
- not have to sit there while it times out waiting for a connect for 40
- seconds! Ugh! Well, no more! ICPR11 will recognize the modem result
- code and act on the spot. Those redials go ever so quick now that the
- BUSY code is recognized. That was the biggie in this revision. The bug
- fix is in MAKED. It seems that every time it was tested more than a
- page of numbers was entered, in one sitting. What ICPR10's MAKED did
- was after running MAKED once, you couldn't run it again immediately or
- it would hang the system. That is taken care of now. And if you entered
- less than a page of area codes and then ran MAKED to add more, it would
- hang. That too is fixed. The documentation was altered a little, and
- that's about it for this revision. If you have ICPR10 already, erase
- the files MAKED.COM, MAKEOTHR.COM, MAKESTEP.COM, D.CMD, and DIAL.CMD
- on your disk you installed ICPR10 on. Copy the new MAKE files onto the
- disk you erased the old ones from and follow the note below. If you
- don't have ICPR10 then don't worry about this, read the docs and go
- to it!
-
- *****************
- PLEASE READ THIS Unfortunately, the old D.CMD generated cannot be read
- IF YOU ALREADY properly by this new MAKED, so make sure you delete the
- ARE USING ICPR10 old D.CMD and regenreate it from scratch. Also delete
- ***************** the file DIAL.CMD and run MAKEOTHR once again to generate
- the newly revised version of DIAL.CMD. All of the other
- files previously generated by the MAKE files are
- compatible with ICPR11.
-
-
- Revision 2.0
- Version: Procomm
- Name: ICPR20
-
- This is a complete revamp of the package. Now there is only one
- big program that does all the creating. It has the three sub-parts
- of MAKED, MAKESTEP, and MAKEOTHR. This new revision is completely
- menu driven and a lot more fancy than the previous revisions. Too
- many new features to mention have been added to both the creator and
- also the actual script files. Everything, finally, seems to be bug
- free. ICPR20 takes complete control of Procomm and turns it into a
- program specific for PCPursuit users, and does this only through the
- script language! The best feature added to this new revision is the
- ability to invoke the creator from inside a step file, inside Procomm
- while connected to PcPursuit and a city! This allows you to add BBSs
- as you discover them, without hassle. Just select the option to
- invoke ICPR20 and if you have the memory to load it, it will run from
- inside. Other features have been added as convenience such as the
- ability to Exit back to procomm or even Quit to DOS, from within the
- menus. Also, added to D.CMD is the option to connect to The Net
- Exchange directly. Many various modifications have been made to make
- this the best. Use and enjoy!

- *****************
- PLEASE READ THIS If you are currently using ICPR11, I have good news
- IF YOU ALREADY for you! You can utilize those old scripts made by
- ARE USING ICPR11 ICPR11 with ICPR20. You'll have to use the convert
- ***************** program included with the package. Put ICPR20.COM
- and CNVRT.COM into your Procomm directory or on your
- command files disk. Then run CNVRT.COM by typing
- CNVRT. It will traverse thru the directory/disk and
- convert D.CMD and the step files to a form readable
- by ICPR20. THIS DOES NOT MAKE USABLE SCRIPT FILES!
- What it does is merely make the files readable to
- ICPR20. You will still have to go and run the MAKED
- and MAKESTEP submenu programs for each area code.
- The convert utility merely allows you to retrieve
- all of the old area codes and bbs numbers into the
- new scripts without having to type them all in again.
- After running CNVRT you can delete it. It's job is
- done and you don't need it anymore.
