Adopt 1.0  02/21/91  Initial release.

Adopt 1.1  03/13/91  Fixed a very serious bug.  Seems that someone
                     forgot to include in the program for ADOPT to
                     auto-detect ANSI. (OOPS!)  A special thanks goes
                     out to Mark Tetrault  of "The Pembroke Connection"
                     in Pembroke, NH for letting me know about this
                     problem.

Adopt 1.2  03/15/91  Adopt was not closing all system file properly so
                     changed the way it shut down.  Also added a closing
                     line to let users know that the next door was
                     loading.[Unreleased]

Adopt 1.3  03/16/91  Seems there is a problem in the way that DFRAME
                     writes to callinfo.bbs that takes away all of a
                     users time.  Zeroed out the TimeOn% variable to
                     show that user hasn't used any time in the door.

Adopt 2.0 --/--/--  Unreleased due to bugs in the DFRAME module relating
                    to WILDCAT!

Adopt 3.0 05/18/91  Added the option to make ADOPT SysOp configurable.
                    The SysOp can now set the colors and messages that
                    ADOPT displays on the super screen.  The time bug
                    for WC! BBSs has been corrected so that ADOPT runs
                    out from under LIVECAT! with no problems.  There
                    still may be a problem with DOS 4.0 or higher so
                    keep a close eye on things.  This is also due to
                    Dframe.

Adopt 4.0 06/22/91  Converted Adopt to work with Wildcat! 3.0 without
                    any  conversion programs being needed.  See
                    (WILDCAT!.30) which is included in the archive.
                    Also added the ability to turn off the prompt line
                    on the main screen if the sysop prefers that mode.
                    Did a few little modifications to the screen and
                    routines to possibly speed things up a bit.

Adopt 4.1 07/29/91  Fixed bug where certain BBS systems were getting an
                    "Altered" error message and door was aborting.

Adopt 4.2 09/29/91  Fixed the docs.  Corrected the errors in them
                    pertaining to the CFG file.  Recompiled Adopt with
                    the latest version of DoorFrame.

Adopt 4.3 02/09/92  Cleaned up the looks of Adopt a bit and reworked a
                    few of the routines to make them a bit faster.  This
                    version was also recompiled using the latest version
                    of DoorFrame. (#25)  I also changed the looks of the
                    DNR file to make it a bit more understandable.
                    Heck, even I know what they mean now.

Adopt 4.4 05/11/92  Recompiled with the latest version of DoorFrame.
                    I also altered the appearance just a tad.  No major
                    changes.

Adopt 4.5 11/09/92  Compiled with the latest version of DoorFrame which
                    adds the ability to use a FOSSIL driver.  Display
                    routines are much faster since the last release.
                    Changed some of the text displays.

Adopt 4.6 12/27/92  Added a routine to check for idle keyboard input.
                    It is possible for someone to keep your BBS online
                    indefinitely without this feature.  The ADCNF.EXE
                    file has also been updated.  It is a bit more sysop
                    friendly.

Adopt 4.7 01/04/93  Added a Clear Screen Routine.  Adopt was overwriting
                    instead of clearing.

Adopt 4.8 03/05/93  Optimized several of the routines.  Recompiled using
                    the latest DoorFrame.

Adopt 4.9 04/30/93  Compiled with latest DF module.  Adopt supports the
                    changes made to DOOR.SYS and USERINFO.DAT in WC!3.9.

Adopt 4.91 9/26/93  Made a few internal changes and appearance changes.
                    Compiled with he latest DoorFrame which fixes a few
                    small bugs and improves the fossil support.  Screens
                    will not terminate until the user presses [ENTER]
                    after the enter prompt appears. (Jerry Zubrick)

Adopt 5.0 12/12/93  Recompiled using the latest DoorFrame.  This fixes a
                    few incompatibilites with fossil drivers and allows
                    Adopt to tun LOCAL using DOOR.SYS.
