- [v2.9] Added a new Door to the InterBBS family.. ACEY DEUCEY!
-
- Added a new Door to the InterBBS family.. Word STAIRWAY
-
- Added a new Door to the InterBBS family.. WORD WAR
-
- A new file will be created at the end of each month, for each
- InterBBS Door, that will list the Top 10 scores from the prior
- month. The file will use the Doorname found on the InterBBS
- command line plus an extension of "T10". The file will be
- created by the HUB and should be made available for Node
- downloading as is the combined score file.
-

- [v2.8] We encountered a very strange problem relating to one of the
- scores in the LADDERS game. A score was being generated that
- would cause the LADDERS door to error out with an ILLEGAL
- FUNCTION CALL (Error #5). We have made a change to this program
- to filter out any such occurance that may be generated from any
- other Door.
-
- If a player wins the game for the month AND is playing on a BBS
- that has not registered that particular Door game, that player
- will be bypassed and the next player from a registered BBS will
- be decalred the winner. Prior versions of InterBBS did not make
- a distinction between registered and unregistered.
-

- [v2.7] With this release you can now maintain only ONE InterBBS.LOG
- file or continue to have individual LOG files in each Door
- directory. To maintain ONE LOG file you MUST SET an IBBSLOG
- environmental variable. To SET this variable enter the
- following in your Autoexec.BAT file: SET IBBSLOG=C:\UTILITY\
- (assumming you wish to keep the LOG in your UTILITY directory)
- If you wish to continue maintaining separate LOG files DO NOT
- USE AN ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE. You should be forewarned that if
- you are using the environmental variable you MUST run your
- INTERBBS programs single stream ( one at a time ) as the LOG
- file will not behave well if more than one InterBBS program is
- trying to access it at one time!!!
-
- 03/20/94
- [v2.6] There were some reports of a 'file already open' errors.
-
- 03/04/94
- [v2.5] On several occasions players have shown up in the score file
- with number of games played higher than mathematically possible
- during the month. We have put in a check to ensure that these
- scores are NOT figured into the high score of the month. They
- will still show daily, but will not be figured in when
- calculating the HIGH SCORE for the month.
-
- There have been a number of reports that the scores from a prior
- month were still in the ISC file for SOME games. This meant that
- the current month scores were not being reflected, although they
- were being accumulated. Upon researching the problem I found
- that the ISC file was not being deleted during the monthly
- maintenance cycle. The InterBBS program will now check to see if
- there are any entries in the ISC from a month other than the
- current one. If entries of this nature are found, the ISC file
- will be deleted and will be recreated the next time the door
- is played.
-
- 01/01/94
- [v2.4] Under certain conditions, **Not Registered** was still showing
- in the High Score files, even though the Door was registered.
-
- 12/16/93
- [v2.3] BBS' were being rejected, even though the correct information
- was in the IBBSNODE.HUB file. The program was looking for ALL
- uppercase characters only, in the IBBSNODE.HUB file. This
- version fixes that and allows for the use of mixed
- upper/lowercase characters.
-
- Added BaseBall Dice to the eligible InterBBS Doors
-
- Added Concentration to the eligible InterBBS Doors
-
- 11/15/93
- [v2.2] Prior to this version, the program would only recognize that you
- were either a HUB or a NODE. If a Node, you HAD to upload your
- InterBBS files DIRECTLY to a HUB where all consolidation would
- take place. With this version of INTERBBS we are introducing
- another level called a REGIONAL. A REGIONAL can have as many
- NODES as they wish. Their NODES will send their INTERBBS files
- to the REGIONAL who in turn combines them and sends them on to
- the HUB. In turn the REGIONAL would then pick up the most
- current combined score files and make them available to the
- NODES. In this way only the REGIONAL has to call to the HUB.
- A REGIONAL MUST maintain the node number assigned by the HUB
- but may assign any numbers to their NODES.
-
- Command Line Examples
- ---------------------
- Node : INTERBBS Monte Monte.cfg
- Hub : INTERBBS Monte Monte.cfg HUB
- Regional: INTERBBS Monte Monte.cfg REGIONAL
-
- If duplicate entries showed up in the ISC files, InterBBS would
- delete them. However, they would not be deleted immediately if
- the dates were equal, rather the program would wait for the
- dates to be different. The logic has been changed to delete the
- dupes on the same day it finds it.
-
- NODES (not a HUB and not a REGIONAL) will only export scores
- from their BBS, but will import normally. This will mean smaller
- export files... thus less time online.
-
- Added a check to ensure that a node number can not be 000. If
- found an appropriate error message will be posted in the log.
-
- Layout of the log file revised... should make it a little
- easier to read.
-
- Revised the log entries. If scores are being bypassed because
- they are not scores for the current month, we will only list
- the error line once with a count of the number of scores
- bypassed for that incomming file.
-
- When running as a NODE the program was not creating an EXPORT
- file when the program was run on the 1st of the month.
-
- Renamed the ERRORS.RPT file to ERRORS.TXT
-
- Added a new file to the Zip, called CFGVALUE.TXT, that contains
- a matrix of all the values that must match exactly to the HUB
- or REGIONAL you are calling.
-
- A new file is required for ALL HUBS and REGIONALS. This file,
- IBBSNODE.HUB, will contain information about ALL the BBS'
- participating in the Sunrise InterbBS games. A detailed
- description of the file can be found in the INTERBBS.DOC file.
-
- 10/05/93
- [v2.1] Made some changes to the Errors generated when there is a
- problem processing the InterBBS files. These errors are
- recorded in the InterBBS.LOG file.
-
- Added a File called Errors.RPT that will contain an
- explanation of each error for each of the InterBBS Doors.
-
- 09/14/93
- [v2.0] Speeded up the initial loading of the program
-
- Added some duplicate checking when loading the current .ISC
- file. If duplicates are found they will be deleted and each
- deleted entry will be logged to the INTERBBS.LOG file.
-
- 09/02/93
- [v1.9] Added Triple Yahtzee to the InterBBS capable list
-
- 08/30/93
- [v1.8] Added Rescue to the InterBBS capable list
-
- Was not handling the Sweeps entry correctly.
-
- 08/30/93
- [v1.7] Added Betsy Ross to the InterBBS capable list.
-
- Added Groan Dice to the InterBBS capable list.
-
- Added Sweepstakes to the InterBBS capable list.
-
- 08/27/93
- [v1.6] Added 3-Pair Poker to the InterBBS capable list.
-
- Added Hiroll Dice to the InterBBS capable list.
-
- 08/23/93
- [v1.5] As of this release, the number of make-up days, previously
- required to be exactly as the HUB, can be set individually
- by each Node. In other words, you can have as many make-up
- days as you wish or none at all.
-
- Will now process unregistered door files properly.
