ArcDoor Revision History
----------------------------------------
Version Date Description
------- -------- -----------
a.00 08-23-86 BETA - Not for release.
a.01 08-29-86 BETA - Not for release.
o Added eXpert toggle
o Changed highlighted <ENTER> to a color more
suiting certain monitors.
o Added configuration file (ARCDOOR.DAT) specification
from the command line. Now use format :
ARCDOOR d:\directory\filename.ext ECHO
where ECHO is optional (leave off) and filename.ext
contains the information in the old ARCDOOR.DAT.
(for use with multiple nodes/printers, etc.)
a.02 09-01-86 BETA - Not for release.
o [S]croll option added to display of file.
o Ctrl-K,S,Q allowed during display of file.
o Cosmetic changes.
a.03 09-01-86 BETA - Not for release.
o Only uses DOS interrupts to get time, removed
checking of BIOS. (more compatible with certain
clocks)
x.00 09-18-86 BETA - Not for release.
o Direct COM port I/O. Async routines replace
CTTY / WatchDog. (If carrier lost - continues
batch file to PCBoard, no reset of entire
computer.)
o Self-contained ARChive processing! No more need
for ARC.EXE to be present on the system. (plus it
is faster, not transfering control to ARC and now
in full color!)
o Dropped TEST from menu. (temporarily if it is
REALLY needed.)
o Dropped VERBOSE, and made LIST a "verbose" listing.
o Allow local computer to operate! A SysOp can
now type along with the user.
x.01 10-11-86 BETA - Not for release.
o Added .WKS and .WRK to the list of binary files
not allowed for viewing.
o INT24 critical error handling.
o If an ARC file is being used by PCBoard on another
node, ArcDoor now does not allow it to be processed.
(says: "File in use by another node, try again later.")
[incompatibility with Basic code of PCBoard]
o Data output buffering. Solves problem of slowdown
on multi-node system running under DoubleDOS.
o "PCB" in place of time remaining line in .DAT file
will pick up the time remaining in PCBoard as
time allowed in ArcDoor.
o Changed specification of COM port from "1" / "2" to
"COM1" / "COM2" / "NONE"
o Local mode. If COM port is "NONE" (line #1 of config
file) Carrier Detect is not checked, and nothing
is sent out any com port. Allows SysOp to run
ArcDoor on the local machine. Optionally - command
line parameter "Local" will perform same function.
(ex. ARCDOOR ARCDOOR.DAT LOCAL)
x.02 10-11-86 BETA - Not for release.
o Fixed bug in Carrier Detect routine.
1.00 10-19-86 First production release.
