The first official release of PROCALLS! version 1.00 after a week of no
bugs being reported from the testers.
01-30-91
Wrote the registered version of the code. Added code to display the
copyright notice as the program recycles and to display when reading
caller logs, and writing bulletins.
01-26-91
Fixed the muliple node hang problem... worked great when other nodes were
idle but crashed if caller was on other node when one of them recycled.
Also fixed the bug of dropping the last caller in the log & the "caller log
created by ProDoor", bug. All these I was able to cause here on PC-Mania!
before the fix, and I can't now... so I think this is much closer to the
the first release. Let's let it go for a week or so to see if something
else crops up.
01-22-91
Complete Re-write of the code to change the way the caller log was analyzed
to be more reliable. By Joe I think I've got it!
01-13-91
Added code to hours & minutes on the bottem of the bulletin. Added code to
be sensitive to the plurality of Hours, Minutes, and Calls.
FIRST NARROW BETA RELEASE... .09B 01-13-91
01-12-91
Fixed bug where if a 300 baud caller logged on it would drop the first
letter of the CityState field. Re-formated the bulletin layout to make it
a little smoother looking.
>>>----> ADDED A COLOR BULLETIN! YA!
Added 3 new parameters for the configuration file which puts the name of the
BBS and SysOp in the bulletin and one for the new COLOR bulletin. The
configuration file is now 6 lines.
Went to bed.. 3:35am Sheesh!
01-03-91
After attempting a few ideas using the USERS file and other info I decided
to stick with the caller log. So I fixed some bugs in the reading of the
caller log as PCLS was hanging under certain situations. Added Code to tally
up the number of calls made by eac individual and the total minutes used by
that person for that day. This is the real reason for writing this software
as that the SOFAR bulletin maker ( which "SO FAR" is the best available untill
PCLS came along) only gave the logon/logoff times. Also fixed a bug of the
CityState field having a space in front if an error corrected connection was
encountered.
12-19-90
Fixed the bug I found in that ProDoor will not add the NEW CALLER LOG CREATED
lines if the file exists... even if it is 0 bytes... this does not affect the
opperation of ProDoor in any way. I added a small configuration file which
has the following three lines.
YES --- Is the NetWorking Flag Set to YES in PCBSetup?
CALLER --- The Name of the CALLER log... CALLER1 if networking.
PROCALLS --- Name of the who called bulletin to be created.
This configuration file should make it usable on all single caller logs...
( No Need To Re-Compile AnyMore Hal )
This configuration file must be in the same sub-dir as the PCLS.EXE file.
I have not tested having the bulletin write to a different sub-dir yet but will
tomarrow. Fixed the MailRun Detected and the Scheduled event bug.. thanks for
spotting this one Hal... it was a tough one but we've got it now. Fixed the
code about the You called first today... it was saying that everyone was the
first caller... not anymore! Fixed the spacing on the bulletin... looks
pretty good eh? Time for bed... Goodnight!
12-17-90
Wrote code to handle the deleted caller log after an event or what ever
which writes a 0 byte caller log. I checked with Prodoor to make sure it
still will add the lines for the NEW CALLER LOG CREATED ect... since the
file existed and it doesn't. Wrote code to handle who the first caller is
after the event. Would like to start looking in to cleaning the display of
the bulletin but too tired...
12-16-90
Ahhh... got the basics down where I could find the Names, City & State, and
the Time on/off. Wrote code to calculate the time used per call. Wrote
code to write bulletin to disk in a crude way... but it is writting a
bulletin none-the-less. Noticed a bug that it crashes the system when the
caller log doesn't exist, but I'm tired and going to bed anyway...
12-15-90
Made simple design flow charts and began writing code. Was not able to
actually run it at the end of the day. Bummer! Too tired... work on it
tomarrow.
