-
- March 10, 1993 Ver 2.3/M
-
- ■ There was a slight delay in going from COM2 to COM1 for no apparent reason,
- but then again, in programming you dont need a reason <g>... Cleaned up the
- displays a little to the user.. I noticed that a couple of error messages were
- not printing to the screen correctly.
-
- January 9, 1993
-
- ■ Added Fossil Driver Support to the program and recompiled it.
-
- ■ Corrected a minor display error.
-
- August 20, 1992
-
- ■ Corrected a minor display problem, and recompiled the code with a new
- release of the libraries just to stay on top of it...
- Have had it running on my board for a couple of weeks with out any
- trouble.
-
- August 1, 1992
-
- ■ Posted a beta version of CSMODEM completely rewritten in Turbo C++,
- and using Clark Developments new DoorKit libraries.
-
- June 22, 1992 Ver 1.17
-
- ■ With regard to the previous release, I found that I unnecessarily
- padded the I/O Address with a zero, which was causing Ziplab to lock-up!
- I took me a couple of weeks to discover what the problem was, but if you
- also had a door that was locking up mysteriously, this was probably the
- reason.
-
- June 3, 1992 Ver 1.6
-
- ■ I found that in order to be compatible with any doors that are written
- using Cam Debuck's CAMKIT or any PCBDOOR kits, I needed to have any
- changes to PCBoard.Dat totally reflect changes that I was not aware of.
- Both of these development kits use the IRQ and I/O Addresses of the
- commports for communications, and though you never see that information
- when using PCBsetup, it writes that information to the file. Made
- changes internally in the program to correctly update the IRQ and I/O
- Addresses when the modems are switched.
-
- May 31, 1992 Ver 1.5
-
- ■ Added the ability to switch modems from the PCBoard command line.
- Instead of entering the door and getting a menu, the user can type
- option "S" along with the modem command, it will switch modems, and drop
- the carrier. On my board it's like this;
-
- MODEM S <enter>
-
- May 28, 1992 Ver 1.4
-
- ■ Even though I checked it, an error was reported that accidentally
- trashed the PCBOARD.DAT file. Fortunately, the user have a backup of it
- with the .TMP extension. I did an END ELSE in the wrong place which
- caused the program not to write out the entire PCBOARD.DAT file. Fixed!
-
- May 26, 1992 Ver 1.3 ****** Configuration File Change *******
-
- ■ Made a change to allow proper operation of Hayes V-Series modems. In
- your configuration file for CSMODEM you will find 2 new parameters. One
- is for telling CSMODEM that you have a Hayes V series modem attached to
- a com port, and the other line is to tell CSMODEM what port the Hayes V
- Series is attached to. If you have a non-Hayes modem or it is not a V
- Series modem, place the word NONHAYESV on line 10 in the config file. If
- you do use a Hayes V Series modem, then place the word HAYESV on line
- 10, then on line 11 place the word HAYESPORT={commport}. Example;
-
- HAYESPORT=COM1:
-
- Be sure to place the colon after the commport number like the above
- example.
-
- May 3, 1992 Ver 1.2
-
- ■ Just changed the way the program closed out.. I found it was better to
- call another routine for closing the door then the one I was using.
-
- April 15, 1992
-
- ■ Added ability for the SysOp to display a message prior to logging the
- user off. Add a line 9 to your configuration file or copy this one over
- and alter its pathnames to your system. Line 9 is the name of the
- message file that you want displayed to the user. If this is blank or
- does not exist, the program will skip over it. The message file can be
- almost any length, and can contain PCBoard @#xx macros or ansi escape
- sequences. Once displayed the user is logged off the system as always.
