============================================================================ "BIG_CPS_Speed", v2.72 HISTORY! File by Dotoran! ============================================================================ === v2.72 === - Updated to run under the new CNet 4.24g version. - Removed the extended error checking, as I was given no further bug reports since the release of 2.71. === v2.71 === - After MANY, MANY reports of bugs in the 2.70 release, I've taken another look at the code. I found a few things odd, but the biggest one had to do with the color variables. Because the values weren't enclosed in "'s some were being replaced with the contents of OTHER variables. For an example: c1 = a Worked great, unless a="Something Else" earlier. - Modified the error checking routine to create a text file with certain infos that MAY help me locate bugs if they continue to persist. - Files can now be stored in ANY directory, so long as they are ALL in the same directory. You can now change the NAME of the directory to something OTHER than "CPS/". - Additional cleaning and revising done to the code as I was walking my way through the code looking for potential problems. - The TEST MODE was cleaned up a bit more, too. Now, it is not necessary for you to set the T1 variable when running the program. If the LAST COMMAND issued was not U or D, then TEST MODE is assumed. In addition, when run in TEST MODE, a bright green bar of text will be displayed at the TOP of the screen telling you that TEST MODE is active. === v2.70 === - Updated to run BETTER on the CNet Amiga, v4.xx versions! - The file DOES/DID run on the 4.xx versions, but I wanted to clean up the code, etc. - Added a newer error check routine. - When in TEST mode, the CPS score files are NOT created. Only when an actual user makes a high score will they be created. - Numerous usages of the || concatenator were removed as they really weren't needed in the context they were being used in. - The initial CNet, v4.24 had a single byte getuser shift that caused this file not to perform correctly. Was fixed in CNet, v4.24a, though. - The "Big_CPS_Speed" files are now stored directly in the "cps/" folder. The command file was modified to only delete data files, instead of all files, as was the READ_ME file pertaining to resetting the file. === v2.6 === - Updated to run under CNet Amiga, v3.05! - February 20, 1994. === v2.5 === - Couple More Bug Squashes, including: - Printing of "N. .1" in front of BIG CPS Numbers. - "Test" Mode bombed if no "SysText:Log/dloads" file found. - Some minor typo's in spelling... - New Features Include: - Text displayed now matches mode program is used in, so if the file was used after a download, and you specified separate U/D files, text would talk about "Best Download CPS @ this Baud", etc. - All DATES now appear in the form: Month, Day, Year. - Some reorganizing of the color variables to add a few, modify some of the others, etc. - Ability to use the "segmented" box from 2.0/2.1 or an "open" box, with no vertical cut through lines. - I still haven't been able to locate any problems in the "uloads" and "dloads" file readers that some of you reported. I did make a slight adjustment to each routine to more precisely capture the SIZE of each file, but whether this will help you or not will have to be seen... - Release Date: 8 July 1993 === v2.1 === - Wooooops! Looks like one of my "upward compatibility" variables wasn't compatible with THIS(2.0) version! - The "V5" variable was REMOVED from version 2.0. - Should work fine now... :wink:wink: - Release Date: 6 June 1993 === v2.0 === - This version was modified to take into consideration files of only a few K, like text files, that could be Uploaded or Downloaded resulting in a VERY HIGH CPS Rate. - This version uses a SysOp Definable MINIMUM KByte Length before it will actually USE this program. This should hopefully STOP those HUGE CPS Rates from happening again. - Other BRAND NEW FEATURES include: - Separate Upload/Download HighCPS Files, ALONG with Baud Files. - Date Stamps are now included within the HighCPS files which can now allow them to be RESET every SYSOP DEFINABLE days. This will allow for NEW users to get a chance at holding the "record"... - Upward compatibility built in by using SysOp Definable Variables. - Release Date: 5 June 1993 === v1.0 === - My first REWRITE of this file. - Included an ASCII Alternative... - Included COMPLETE Color Customization... - Rough Release Date: 3 Apr 1993 === v.99 === - Original version by The Brazilian. ============================================================================ Written by: Dotoran of Frontiers (716)/823-9892! ============================================================================
