Planned New Features in Upcoming Versions
-----------------------------------------
■ Opus 1.7 to<>from conversion.
History of Previous Versions
----------------------------
v5.8, 08/02/92
--------------
■ Added a special mode for Waffle, to overcome the "problem" of
converting some of the % variables in your batch file. Use the
doortype of:
/f=WAFFLE:<userid>,<comport>,<bps>,<timeleft>,<seclevel>,
<termtype>,<P|NP>
There is more detail on this in DM.DOC
■ Fixed a bug when converting from /F=PARMS. I was not adding "COM"
to the beginning of the COM port, nor was I reading the time limit
from the command line.
v5.7a, 07/28/92
---------------
■ Fixed a bug when converting to PCBoard 14.x. Instead of writing the
node number to the PCBOARD.SYS file, I was always writing a null
character.
v5.7, 05/24/92
--------------
■ Added a module for Virtual BBS (VBBS). DM will process a "standard"
DORINFO1.DEF file in this mode. The DoorType is "VBBS".
■ Modified the PCB14 and PCB14C modules to write a blank CNAMES file
as well as PCBOARD.DAT, PCBOARD.SYS, and USERS. I just found out
that some ProKit doors still require CNAMES to exist.
■ Fixed a bug in the PCBSETUP module that sometimes caused a message
to pop up telling you CNAMES was missing.
■ Fixed a bug when converting to WWIV. Apparently, some older WWIV
doors don't like a pathname to be specified for the g-files and
t-files dirs. I had a run-time error 003 occurring on a couple of
them until I removed the dirs from CHAIN.TXT.
■ Fixed the bug that made DM refuse to run on a monochrome system!
The problem was that in some areas of DM (specifically, the help
system and the configuration program), I was saving and restoring
screens to video memory - which monochrome cards don't have. I have
changed the routines to save and restore screens to an array.
DM should work fine on monochrome systems now.
■ Added support for versions of Citadel that support OUTPUT.APL.
The only versions I'm aware of that support this are TurboCit and
FredCit; others might support it as well. If so, they will work
with the Citadel module. The DoorType is "CITADEL".
■ Due to user request, I have changed the Telegard module back to reading
a DOOR.SYS. The bug has been fixed; turns out that the supposed
"standard" DOOR.SYS used in GAP uses five extra lines at the end
of the file; Telegard and TAG do not write these four lines to the
file, so this caused error 62's when I had this module reading the
DOOR.SYS previously.
■ Added a module for Powerboard BBS. DM will process a "standard"
DOOR.SYS file when in this mode. The DoorType is "PB".
v5.6, 02/14/92
--------------
■ Changed the version numbering scheme to merge the bug fix and feature
counters, bringing this one to v5.6 (3 + 2 + 1 for changes in this
release = 6).
■ Changed the Telegard module to read/write a DORINFO1.DEF instead of
a DOOR.SYS.
v5.3.2, 01/19/92
-----------------
■ Fixed a bug in the PARMS mode. When using 1 as the graphics type,
it was still filtering it out as non-graphics.
v5.3.1, 01/18/92
-----------------
■ Added a TriTel module. This will read/write a TRITEL.SYS file.
v5.2.1, 12/25/91
-----------------
■ Changed the Maximus module from 1.xx format (which used an Opus/Fido
LASTUSER.BBS file) to the new 2.xx format using a DORINFO1.DEF file.
■ Changed the RemoteAccess module so that it always reads or writes
a DORINFO1.DEF, i.e., it no longer tries to read a DORINFO2.DEF,
DORINFO3.DEF, etc. if you use the /N=n switch.
v5.1.1, 12/23/91
-----------------
■ Fixed a bug relating to graphics when converting from RemoteAccess
■ Added an enhancement for WWIV. Some sysops have suggested that the
user's alias rather than real name be read from the CHAIN.TXT file.
If you wish to use this method, use a DoorType of "WWIV-ALIAS" instead
of "WWIV".
