- ------------------------ FLIPSDOR REVISION RECORD -----------------------
-
- Version 1.0 - March 23, 1986
-
- First public release of flips.
-
- Version 1.1 - April 4, 1986
-
- * Minor cosmetic revisions only.
-
- Version 1.2 - April 17, 1986
-
- * Revised to allow operation under up to five nodes. At this point,
- Flips does no file locking of any sort. It does, however, alow a
- node number to be passed on the command line which is used to find
- the appropriate communications port for that node. For example,
- starting the program with the command line:
-
- FLIPSDOR 2
-
- would tell flips that it is to use the communications port
- assigned to node 2 in the configuration file. The configuration
- program has been similarly revised to allow assignment of up to
- five communications ports.
-
- NOTE: Beacuse of this change, a new configuration file must be
- created for Flips. Using Flips with a configuration file
- created by an earlier version will cause errors to occur.
-
- * Added message to SYSOP if user drops the line. Flips does it's
- own monitoring of the carrier signal and exits if the line is
- dropped.
-
- * Additional cosmetic enhancements are made to the code.
-
- * Fixed error in reporting comm port errors.
-
- * Added option to dissallow return users. This is set in the
- confgurator and can be used to prevent the same person from using
- flips twice in a row. The last user's name is stored in the score
- file and used to check for return users.
