- 0.50 beta - First beta release
-
- 0.60 beta - Fixed bug in TIKMAINT that was posting an incorrect
- portfolio value to TIK40.???
- - Combined the BUY and SELL menues
- - Made Stock History a loop, meaning you now have to (Q)uit
- this menu to get back to the main menu. While I was here,
- I added a GRAPHING function, more on this in a minute.
- - History logs are now listed in REVERSE, from newest to
- oldest transaction, making it easier to find stuff.
- - Modified docs and main menu to make it clear that *ALL*
- stock prices are in CENTS, not DOLLARS.
- - Fixed BUY menu so that when you have, for example, enough
- money to buy 8,375 shares of something, you will NOT see
- this number as the MAX, but rather 8,000, since you must
- buy shares in blocks of 500.
- - The "S or CTRL-C to abort" now works even at the HIT ANY
- KEY TO CONTINUE prompt.
- - Added a sysop-only FOSSIL INFO command
- - I *THINK* I fixed a bug where the program would LOCK UP if
- the outgoing FOSSIL buffer filled to capacity. Assuming
- the worst and this fix doesn't work, the quick'n'dirty fix
- is to set your TX buffer rather high, like 2048 bytes or
- even 4096 bytes.
-
- When upgrading from V0.50 to V0.60, make DARNED sure that
- you run the enclosed 050TO060.EXE program. Simply CD to
- your TIKKER directory and run the program. It will read
- some information from STOKKS.TIK and write GRAPH.TIK.
- This is used for the GRAPHING function in the Stock
- History section, you get a graphic representation of the
- performance of a stock over the last fifteen days.
- MAKETIKK has been modified accordingly (to create this
- file when you first start up) so if you are installing
- from scratch you do NOT need to run 050TO060.EXE. You can
- delete this program once you have run it once. What it
- does is take TODAY'S price and writes it into GRAPH.TIK as
- the price for every one of the last 15 days, so it's
- definitely going to be a bit inaccurate, folks!
- 050TO060.EXE also updates HELP.TIK, by the way.
-
- 0.61 beta - Removed LIGHTBLUE$ color from chart display, as this
- looked incredibly lousy on monochrome displays. Tested
- in-house only.
-
- 0.62 beta - Fixed missing HIT ANY KEY TO CONTINUE in Stock History
- Log.
- - Fixed bug in FOSSILINFO routines. Released to
- beta-testers.
-
- 0.63 beta - Boy do I feel stupid. A bug caused by a LAST minute
- change effectively killed the GRAPH feature, as the
- GRAPH.TIK file wasn't being properly updated by TIKMAINT.
- - GRAPH feature corrected so it shows days from 14 to 0 days
- ago, rather than 15 to 1 day ago. The most recent change
- occurred today, right? NOT yesterday! (Dope slap for
- Joe). Sent to all the beta-bashers.
-
- 0.70 beta - Another silly one: left some diagnostic text in TIKMAINT,
- so it was looking REAL ugly when it finished up. Fixed.
- - Fixed LOCAL-DETECT bug that sometimes let the sysop view
- the FOSSIL status including baud rate and such even if the
- call was a local one (results were inaccurate o'course).
- - FOSSIL-STATUS now gets logged to Personal History.
- - Added ANSI/ASCII logon screens
- - Added SYSOP-PUNT and +/- time keys
-
- 1.00 - Added TIKK.A?? welcome screens (thanks Racey!)
- - Udderwise no other bugs located, so she be released.
-
- 1.01 - Sure wish I could have added some new features but I'm
- lacking time. This version has a bug fix: loss of carrier
- during the logon screen would cause a lockup. Fixed.
- Also, added a SUICIDE option for those traders who gamble
- everything on a stokk at 5 cents per share, hoping it'll
- rise... but see it crash instead.
