- Beta 2.01:
-
- - Well, looks like I introduced a hardware problem with the 2.0 Christmas
- version. Hopefully, this problem is fixed in the 2.01 New Year's Day
- version <grin>. This problem was related to the CTS flow control on
- high speed modems.
-
- What's new in Black Jack For Time 2.0:
-
- - Changed the whole layout of the game screen. In rearranging the game
- screen, some cursor positioning sequences are quicker now.
-
- - Players may now buy insurance. When the dealer's first card dealt is
- an ACE, players may buy insurance at an amount equal to half of their
- current bet. If the dealer holds a natural twenty-one, you win your
- insurance bet and are paid at 2 minutes for each minute wagered. If
- the dealer does not hold a natural twenty-one, you lose your insurance
- (half your original bet) and the hand plays through to conclusion.
-
- - Players may now double down on any hand. This is in keeping with the
- rules of the majority of casinos.
-
- - The files JP.ANS and JP.ASC have been replaced by BJOPEN.ANS and
- BJOPEN.ASC.
-
- - Supports RA 1.01 thru 1.10, QuickBBS 2.64 thru 2.75 and ProBoard 1.20.
-
- What's new in Black Jack For Time 1.6:
-
- - Minor maintenance release. Revamped high speed modem routines from
- JPDoor are now in effect.
-
- What's new in Black Jack For Time 1.5:
-
- - Fixed a nasty bug which disabled CTS checking on systems using high
- speed modems. This is the sole reason for this release.
-
- NOTE: BJFT may not recognize your key file. If this is the case,
- delete BJ.KEY and re-register the program using the procedures
- given to you when you registered the program. If you have any
- problems, please contact John Parlin at 282/40.
-
- - Updated error log routines so that all abnormal program exits are
- recorded. If BJ_ERR.LOG exists, it is intended for your viewing
- pleasure so that you may see what abnormal program exits are occurring.
-
- What's new in Black Jack For Time 1.4:
-
- - Recompiled under JPDoor 3.01 which supports the new RA 1.10 beta data
- structures.
-
- - Changed key structure. If you were previously registered and version
- 1.4 does not recognize your old key file, please send a netmail message
- to the author at one of the FidoNet bulletin board systems listed in
- BJ.DOC. Or, send a new registration form via US Mail and attach a note
- stating that you were previously registered. I will do a database
- search on your previous registration and expedite a new key to you.
-
- - The program now asks users if their communications program can display
- the club character. If not, the letter 'C' will be used instead.
-
- - The CVT.EXE program is no longer needed on QuickBBS systems and is no
- longer included in the distribution archive. BJFT now automatically
- recognizes whether it is running under RemoteAccess or QuickBBS and
- converts EXITINFO.BBS accordingly.
-
- What's new in Black Jack For Time 1.3:
-
- - Recompiled under the new version of JPDoor. This should fix the lockup
- problems that some were experiencing.
-
- What's new in Black Jack For Time 1.2:
-
- - BJFT now supports only one command line parameter and that is the
- configuration file name.
-
- Examples: BJ.EXE BJ.CFG - Uses the BJ.CFG file
- BJ.EXE BJ2.CFG - Uses the BJ2.CFG file
-
- - The command line parameter /F has been removed. This was for testing
- purposes.
-
- - BJFT now prompts the user for display type. Players may now opt to have
- mono-graphics rather than color-graphics.
-
- - Added a line to the BJ.CFG file. Line 7 specifies the maximum number of
- minutes a player may return with. For example, if this is set to 120,
- then players with more than 120 minutes remaining when they re-enter the
- BBS, will have their time trimmed to 120 minutes and the remainder will
- be automatically deposited into the player's RATS account.
-
- What's new in Black Jack For Time 0.0beta:
-
- - Nothing! This is the first release. If you're a beta basher, you can
- install BJFT easily:
-
- - BJFT can be run in the RA system directory or in a subdirectory of
- its own. I would recommend a subdirectory.
- - Unpack the distribution archive into the subdirectory.
- - Edit the file BJ.CFG in the subdirectory.
- - Just call it as a type 7.
