- -- Version 2.21 (08/06/91)
-
- This version is only a bug fix. This version is only being released
- with the Executable file and this whatsnew file. The full version may
- be downloaded from:
- "The New EDGE BBS - (508)688-1541" or
- "Electric Dreams - (508)682-5279"
- Some users would like to try to crash the system, and type 0 when asked
- what number they wish to start at when Browsing messages, but that's
- fixed now. Any other bugs, please send them to me at either of the
- above BBS's!
-
- -- Version 2.20 (07/28/91)
-
- Fixed a problem with QTSysOp, if you tried to delete an ad, it would
- erase the entire database of ads! Very bad problem, but this has been
- fixed now (I hope! :)).
-
- Added FULL arrow-key support! But in order for it to work properly
- you must make sure NumLock is on, otherwise no go!
-
- Command line options for QTSysOp:
- /Dxx <- Purge ads older than xx number of days.
- /PMM-DD-YYYY <- Purge ads older than MM-DD-YYYY
-
- When Browsing in QTrade, it first asks the user which number to start
- at, and if they press ENTER it defaults to 1. I added this because
- sometimes you might have a really large database of items, and the user
- might have already seen most of it, and since this program does not YET
- have a newscan function, I figured they could easily use this to view
- only the ones they want!
-
- Added Fast Browse, which is similar to Browse, except instead of showing
- you the entire description, etc., all it shows you is:
- Record No. Name of Item Name of Entrant
-
- When Erasing an ad in QTrade, it will show you a list of the ads the
- user who is currently online placed, no others! It will not allow them
- to erase an ad they didn't place.
-
- Changed the display when erasing an ad in QTrade, it used to show you your
- own name and the description of the item, now it shows the name of the item
- and the date entered.
-
- Fixed a couple (about 3) problems with Search, it works great now
- though!
-
- Now when Browsing the program will allow you to go Backwards, Forwards,
- or Quit.
-
- Added support for GAP BBS and any other BBS program that uses the
- DOOR.SYS door file format. This has also created a new option in the
- config file. If you use QuickBBS/RA/SuperBBS or anything that supplies
- DORINFO1.DEF make the last line of the config file DORINFO. If you use
- GAP or any other BBS that supplies DOOR.SYS, change the last parameter
- to DOORSYS. More BBS file formats are on the way -- if you want one
- added, simply NetMail me the format of the file that the BBS supplies
- and I will add it! Please NetMail all inquiries on this subject to me
- (Chris Beliveau) at 'The New EDGE BBS - (508)688-1541 - 1:324/118'.
-
- -- Future versions:
-
- The next major version (which I hope will be out before the end of
- summer vacation) will be 3.00 and written in Turbo Pascal, which will
- have many new features including Wordwrap for entering a message and
- posting of ads, among MANY other new and excellent options. It will
- also load a lot faster and the executable file will be a lot smaller!
- However, there is one drawback -- I have been thinking of making that
- version available only to those who register. And the registration
- price will go up when 3.00 is released, so if you haven't yet registered
- for the low price of $10 (or $20 or $30, whatever the deal you pick!)
- then do so now!
-
- I've starting a complete rewrite of QTSysOp, complete with mouse support,
- full editing capabilities and anything else I can think of adding.
-
- The next major version of QTrade will also have support for MANY other
- BBS types so if you're a BBS author, or if you have the structure to a
- BBS external file format (such as PCBOARD, WILDCAT, XBBS, etc.) send it
- to me at: The New EDGE BBS, (508)688-1541 and I will be glad to add it in.
