- What's new in Shut The Box 2.1:
-
- - Fixed an error with CTS routines. Some systems with high speed modems
- were having problems with screen garbage. This was due to CTS routines
- not functioning properly.
-
- What's new in Shut The Box 2.0:
-
- - IMPORTANT!! The data structure for 2.0 has changed. Please read the
- upgrade instructions below. The command line parameters have also
- changed. Please see SHUTBOX.DOC for command line parameter syntax.
-
- - Added make up days!!! This was real fun, let me tell ya. To do this
- required the addition of a calendar for each user record. A conversion
- program has been provided so that you don't have to nuke your data files
- and start the competition over again.
-
- Here's how to upgrade:
-
- o Make a backup copy of SHUTBOX.DAT and SHUTBOX.DTE (just in case).
- o Change to the directory containing the SHUTBOX files. The program
- SHUTUP.EXE should also reside in the same directory.
- o Execute the conversion utility SHUTUP.EXE.
- o Once conversion is complete, DO NOT execute SHUTUP.EXE again. To be
- safe, you may want to delete it.
-
- That's all that's required to upgrade Shut The Box. Keep in mind though,
- the program has no way of knowing who played on what days prior to the
- conversion. So, all days prior to the date you upgrade are NOT available
- to the players as make up days. However, from that point on, the program
- will track player calendars.
-
- What's new in Shut The Box 1.10:
-
- - Fixed a bug in help file display where screen was not pausing consistently.
-
- - Fixed a nasty bug where if user ran out of time or dropped carrier before
- Shut The Box read the user's player data the user's score was getting
- trashed.
-
- - Cleaned up some redundant cursor positioning.
-
- What's new in Shut The Box 1.0:
-
- - First release after 3 betas. Shut The Box is the first JPSoft door to
- accept a registration number rather than a registration key file.
-
- - Shut The Box allows a user to adopt the door. If a user of your BBS
- adopts the door, you will be instructed how to include a credit when you
- receive your registration number.
-
- - Throughout the beta test, ANSI sequences have been optimized. No bugs
- were reported throughout the beta test.
