- Made in Finland by Patrick Aalto
-
-
- Versions of LineWars
-
-
- 1.01 10.04.1989 First version, used for testing purposes
- only, not released anywhere.
-
- 1.02 15.04.1989 Included 'Dial'-option with a new procedure
- to handle input of a telephone number and
- codename. First tests via a telephone line.
-
- 1.03 22.04.1989 Included options to enable LineWars to run
- under MBBS. Quitting with Ctrl-X and checks
- for carrier loss were added and connection
- protocol was changed. More testing...
-
- 1.04 02.05.1989 Some changes to Laser and Shield energy,
- error in Missile Guidance System was
- corrected. Testing copies were sent to
- a few potential users. Still not publicly
- available.
-
- 1.05 11.05.1989 Included code to check if DesQview (tm) is
- active. If it is, then 'Ouch, that hurts'
- will not be said, since it would crash the
- system (uses INT 08). Thanx to Kim Heino
- for reporting this problem and for code to
- check DesQview's presence.
-
- 1.06 18.05.1989 Added a sleep-time on the main menu. If no
- key is pressed within two minutes, LineWars
- will quit with message: 'Sleeptime exceeded'.
- This is because some modems do not tell the
- real Carrier Status, so if a user logs off
- while a BBS-door-LineWars is active, it did
- stay active forever! Thanx to Pekka Koivunen
- for reporting this.
- Disk errors while writing Settings are now
- handled properly (a generic 'Disk Error' -
- message is shown). Thanx to Kim Heino for
- pointing out the importance of this.
-

- - Check for EGA adapter changed, thanx to
- Antti Kaihola.
- - Added scoring routines.
- - Changed the initial positions in the game.
- Now your enemy is on your right, behind the
- rotating asteroid!
- - Added keys PgUp and PgDn to control speed.
- - Added code to exchange version numbers in
- initial handshake. This means, that future
- versions will be downwards-compatible with
- this version.
- - CGA version (LineWarC) saw the daylight, it's
- version number was also 1.10 to minimize
- confusion between version numbers.
