- v 5.3A
- Changed the way multinode version works.
- Need to add a line in LASTON.CFG. Insert in first line before the
- registration number. Put the name of the menu where LASTON will be run.
- If you are MULTI-NODE RyBBS you MUST put something here even if you're
- only going to run LASTON from first.bat, but don't put first.bat. legal
- entries are, first.bbs, main.mnu, util.mnu, newmenu.bbs, etc.
- To run from First.bat add the word node to the %1 parameter i.e.
- LASTON %1NODE <etc.>
- To run from a menu you no longer need the %NODE% paremeter.
- If You are running the single node version of RyBBS put an empty line.
- Not even a space!..
- v 5.3b
- Added line for registered users to change ANSI color/attributes of color
- display of node number. Users of Dorinfo1.def that use multinode can display
- node number by passing node number to LASTON and using %1DOR to tell LASTON
- you're multinode. like so
- LASTON %1DOR
- Add color/attribue line after Date color/attribute line.
- Can use DOS command line parameter to have LASTON remake the LASTON.CFG file
- for you with new lines.
-
- V 5.4c
- Add ability to use fossil driver. Just add FOSSIL to the command line.
- i.e. LASTON FOSSIL
- will attempt to use fossil if resident. if fossil isn't found LASTON
- will attempt to use it's own interrupt port routines. LASTON will leave
- fossil active on port. To have LASTON unload fossil add a U to the fossil command
- i.e. LASTON FOSSLU
- this will tell LASTON to use fossil if present and to unload fossil when
- done executing, will leave fossil resident..
-
- Also added some code to make fossil version more responsive to input. Should
- be no or little lag in input and responce.. i.e. if user hits a 'P' to pause
- output it should pause output almost immediately, instead of lagging a few
- seconds.
-
- V 5.4d
- rewrite some routines to accomadate problems with multi-line users.
-
- change the command line for dorinfo1.def multi line users. Just enter
- %1node dor with a space instead of %1dor as before. the %1 is the passing
- of the node number. Refer to your BBS docs for the correct syntax for passing
- your node number to the batch file BBS.
-
- for RyMULT users you need the %node command in your calling menu when run
- from a menu. like so
- srun,5,5, [P]revious callers,*LASTON %NODE
- ^
- batch file name.
- In batch file you always need to call LASTON %1NODE for RyMULT.
- it must be the first parameter for RyMULT users.
-
- Added the command PAUSE. This will put a pause at end of display for remote
- callers. It seems that main.mnu does not output a PRESS ENTER command after
- a program runs as in first.bbs. The PAUSE command will allow a user to view
- the end of the list without it zipping to the menu right away. use as other
- commands
- LASTON PAUSE
- in batch file command line...
-
- V 5.5
- New setup commandline to create batch, and CFG files. Also creates your
- command lines. Easy to use and follow. type..
-
- C:\LASTON SETUP
-
- Added file-locking. Multi-node users must have SHARE.EXE loaded
-
- Made some changes to .CFG file. I suggest you make a new one with the
- new setup utilitiy.
-
- Supports different .CFG file names. Just put the name in the commandline
- with a .CFG extension. Uses LASTON.CFG by default.
-
- No-longer supports making text-files.
-
- V 5.6
- Fix bug were node number didn't show up in multi-node version
-
- V 5.7a
- Work on multi-node file sharing. Fix dos command line parameter.
-
- Fix problem were LASTON.DAT wouldn't be created properly all the time in
- multi-node version
-
- V 5.8
- Fix bug were unregistered version wasn't turning off ANSI after displayed
- remotely.
-
- V 5.9
- Add support for a total of 8 ports. Also all 8 ports can be configured
- through the SETUP command. Can change base addresses and IRQ lines.
