AWARD 1.0 04/04/1992 Initial release.
AWARD 1.1 04/14/1992 Move the game screen external to the EXE
file. This vastly improved the overall looks
of the door. Worked on a few of the routines
to optimize them a bit. SysOps may now
specify the number of times a user can play
the door each day. This is accomplished by
entering the number of times allowed on the
11th line of the CFG file. You *MUST* add
this line to the CFG. file. Line 10 has
changed in that the door now has the ability
to create PCBoard specific color coded
bulletins. Place "PCB" on line 10 for
PCBoard bulletins and "WC" for WC!3.x
specific color bulletins. Anything else or
blank will create ANSI & ASCii bulletins.
AWARD 2.0 11/08/1992 MAJOR UPGRADE!
A complete reinstallation is required. The
database is no longer encrypted. Several of
the screens have changed. Display routines are
much faster now. I've also added several
options to the Game Screen instead of asking
them before the user gets there. Users may now
view the instructions or change their color
selections at any time during the game. This
release was also compiled using the new Visual
Basic/DOS from MicroSoft. AWARD may also be
run locally by entering:
AWARD LOCAL
from the DOS prompt. If you are using the old
MAINTAIN.EXE program, DO NOT attempt to use it
with this release. It will corrupt the
databases. A new version is available to
registered sysops from The Parole Board BBS.
AWARD 2.11 1/23/93 Fixed the auto reset routine.
AWARD 2.2 3/6/93 Reworked the date routines. Modified the
auto-reset routine because it wasn't working
correctly on all systems.
AWARD 2.3 5/1/93 !!! CFG FILE CHANGE !!!
Added a 12th line to the CFG file. This one
specifies if you wish to create RIP style
bulletins or not. Place "RIP" if you wish RIP
bulletins and an "N" if you do not want or need
them.
This version also supports the changes made in
DOOR.SYS and USERINFO.DAT in WC!3.9. Optimized
the code quite a bit to make it smaller and
faster.
Added the ability for users to [G]oodbye from
the door.
AWARD 3.0 !!! MAJOR UPDATE !!!
Added RIPSCRIP Graphics capability. If for
some reason you do not wish to support RIP
graphics, create a file named "RIP.NO" and
place it in the door directory.
Fixed a bug in the monthly reset routine.
Award Trivia should automatically reset the
game scores at the beginning of each month.
3.1 9/29/93 Made a few minor fixes and changes. UnZIP the
SCREENS.ZIP into your "\SCREENS" directory as
several of the RIP screens have been slightly
modified and RESET.RIP has been added.
