====================================== QuickBBS Version 2.02 Changes Document ====================================== Version 2.02 of QuickBBS is simply a maintainence release for Version 2.01. It fixed a lot of the major bugs that existed in Version 2.01. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTICE: The replacement program for EchoGen (QECHO) did not make it into this release. It will be released on August 15, 1988. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * QuickBBS's modem response strings (in QCONFIG) will now accept the '|' character as a carriage return symbol. Many people's modems would confuse QuickBBS and cause it to think every call was 300 baud. Place a '|' character at the end of the 300 baud response string and the problems should clear up. * QuickBBS will no longer let a user sit in continuous read mode and over step thier time limit. * The 18:12:00 and 00:00:00 time limit bugs have been fixed, QuickBBS will no longer kick the user off for no reason at both of these times. * New configuration options have been added, please go over screen 4 in QCONFIG. * If a user deletes a marked message, he/she can no longer read it. QuickBBS v2.01 would let the user re-read the message after it had been deleted, this was a bug. * The command type 28's problems have been cleaned up, users should be able to select/deselect any combined boards he/she wants. * The verbose archive command (type 34) has been fixed, it will no longer choke on 0 length files in an archive. * MSGPACK has been fixed so it does not take so long to translate the pointers contained in the LASTREAD.BBS file. * the SEC#.xxx (ASC/ANS) file has been moved to be displayed after the WELCOME.xxx file. * MENUEDIT has been fixed so that it will not let you insert any entries if the editor is full (50 entries). * DoubleDOS and DesqView awareness has been added, QuickBBS will now reconize when either one of these multitaskers are present. QuickBBS will also release CPU time over to the alternate tasks being run. NOTE: This does not mean that QuickBBS will run under multi-node applications, this simply means that QuickBBS can function and run smoother in DoubleDOS or DesqView. Mutli-node support will be added to QuickBBS v3.00. * QuickBBS will no longer reconize users who have been marked as (DELETED) in the user database. Before, only USERPACK would reconize this flag. * The times called field has been added to the [PgDn] status window, it is labeled TC=xxx. * QuickBBS will now warn a user when he/she is attempting to reply to a net-mail message with an unlisted node. * QuickBBS will set the message (RECEIVED) flag correctly, despite the upper/lower case letters of the To: name field. * The arked read function will now only read those messages which belong to the current board you are reading. It will no longer show every marked message. * There is a new command type 44 which will allow the user to clear all current combined board marks. This makes it easier to disable all message boards so only a few can be selected. * There is a new command type 45 which works exactly as type 5 except it will pause at the end of the file with the common prompt: "Press [Enter] to continue:" This solves the problems of displaying files without it scrolling off the screen because of menu text. * There is now a new questonnaire file command, this command will output (to the users screen) one of the answering variables. This makes it possible to list the user's answers so far and ask if they are correct. The format is: LISTANSWER is the variable number between 1 and 20. NOTE: This was previously included for the 2.01 release, however it went untested and never worked! * This is another new questionnaire file command, this command will allow the Sysop to alter the user's security level. The format is: SETSECURITY is any valid security level (1-32000). * The bug with the PHONEDUP.LOG file only showing one entry has been corrected. It should now log ALL duplicate phone numbers.
