- 1.70
- ----
- *) added code and descriptor to detect invalid telephone exchanges
- like 911. Descriptor is 'InValidExchange'.
-
- InvalidExchange 911
- InvalidExchange 411
-
- *) Fixed a bug which was writing an extra byte into EXITINFO.BBS in
- the RA 2.00g1 versions.
-
- *) First version with support for RA 2.00g1.
-
- *) Changed the validation requirement from Password to Birthday
- in order to remain somewhat compatible with other BBS packages.
- The user's password is no longer stored anywhere in RA and this
- is so drastically different from other BBS programs that the
- birthday requirement will be used from now on.
-
- *) Removed the VDVariable @PASSWORD due to RA 2.00 future
- compatibility issues.
-
- *) New Vd.Cfg descriptor "NoFirstDigit". This allows you to tell
- VD what digits are not allowed as first digits in the phone
- number. No defaults!! Examples:
-
- NotFirstDigit 1
- NotFirstDigit 2
-
- *) Fixed a bug which caused double chars to appear on the BBS
- screen during a CHAT.
-
- *) Changed the Chat Prompt so that the SysopName is not hard-coded
- into it. You can put it there using the @sysop vdvariable in
- the language file if you want to.
-
- *) Added 3 entries to the language file that somehow got overlooked
- for a total of 39 entries. Use the new language files which
- accompany this release.
-
- *) Added 8 new VD_Variables mainly for use in the language file, so
- that changing these defines in the vd.cfg file will result in
- the new values automatically being plugged into the language
- file at runtime.
-
- @Home HomePhoneKey definition
- @Data DataPhoneKey definition
- @Abort AbortKey definition
- @Edit EditKey definition
- @Yes YesKey definition
- @No NoKey definition
- @LDCode PreDialLDCode definition
- @Sysop SysopName from vd.cfg
-
- NOTE: the included language files have been modified to take
- advantage of these new vdvars.
-
- *) Added Key definitions for the menu keys as well as the YesNo
- response keys. The keys are defined in VD.Cfg thusly:
-
- HomePhoneKey 1 - "Home" phone number
- DataPhoneKey 2 - "Data" phone number
- AbortKey A - "Abort" ValidOOR Key
- EditKey E - "Edit" phone number key
- YesKey Y - "Yes" response key
- NoKey Y - "No" repsonse key
-
- the definitions above are the default values if the cfg file
- descriptors are not used.
-
- *) Added the LANGUAGE descriptor to allow you to name your langauge
- file anything you like. Full paths are acceptable and if no
- path is present, the environment variable path will be used to
- find the langauge file. The .ANS or .ASC extension will be
- assumed. Default = VD-LANG
-
- *) Changed the way the Environment variable is handled with regard
- to ValidOOR finding it's files. Now for ANY file except VD.CFG
- ValidOOR.Key:
-
- if no path is specified in vd.cfg and no validoor env.
- variable is used, VD looks in the current dir.
-
- if no path is specified and the validoor environment
- variable is set, vd looks in the dir pointed to by the
- environment variable.
-
- if a path of ANY type is specified (determined by the
- presence of any backslash(\) or colon(:) in the descriptor
- filename, it will override the environment variable in
- every case.
-
- See vd.cfg for more info on each file.
-
- *) Beginning with this release, VDUtil will now be included in
- the ValidOOR ZIPchive. See VDU.DOC for release history of this
- utility.
-
- *) Added PreDialLDCode descriptor. This allows you to put your
- own Long Distance access code into VD. If left out, the default
- value is "1".
-
- PreDialLDCode 1
-
- *) ALL display files are now optional (as noted in vd.cfg) and have
- equivalent lines in vd-lang.a?? to replace them if they are
- commented out in vd.cfg. This means that ValidOOR will now run
- without those extra text files if you want to do it that way.
-
- *) Done away with vd.cfg descriptors SYSNAME1 and SYSNAME2. A
- similar line is now located in the language file on line 34 or
- the SYSID descriptor will display a file in its place.
-
- *) All data sent through the modem is now found in a language
- file. This file supports ANSI and ASCII flavors.
-
- *) Added ANS/ASC support to all displayed files such as the ones
- pointed to by the ValidGoodbye descriptor. If you do not put
- an extension on these filenames in vd.cfg, either .ANS or .ASC
- extensions will be added to the filenames based on the user
- settings in EXITINFO.BBS.
-
- *) Added four new display files to replaced some formerly hard
- coded text in older versions of ValidOOR. The descriptors are
- SysID, UsedNumber, BadNumberDisplay, and ReadyForCall. See
- vd.cfg for examples. These display files also support the
- .ANS/.ASC processing.
-
- *) Added Flag Toggle to the Flag setting routines. The T in the
- flag mask will cause that bit to be toggled. See VD.CFG for
- usage examples.
-
- *) Major changes to PRINT routines. All local screens are printed
- through ANSI device driver. ValidOOR will now require an ANSI
- driver.
-
- *) Eliminated the "Display" descriptor in VD.CFG
-
- *) Removed F-10 advertisement and added minor advertisement during
- program initialization.
-
- *) Eliminated the YOURCITYST descriptor. This should now be
- put into the language file.
-
- *) Changed default twitline to "System Error - Disconnecting..."
-
- *) Changed QUICKPHONE descriptor to PHONE as it was causing some
- confusion. VD still supports QUICKPHONE although it is not
- documented.
-
- *) Fixed VD so that non-registered users could not run BETA copies.
- Added Errorlevel 20 for this type of exit.
-
- *) Changed Encryption routines so that keys no longer need to be
- uppercase only.
