  3.  
  4.  
  5.       Versions of LineWars
  6.  
  7.       
  8.       1.01     10.04.1989      First version, used for testing purposes
  9.                                only, not released anywhere. 
  10.                                
  11.       1.02     15.04.1989      Included 'Dial'-option with a new procedure
  12.                                to handle input of a telephone number and
  13.                                codename. First tests via a telephone line.  
  14.                                
  15.       1.03     22.04.1989      Included options to enable LineWars to run
  16.                                under MBBS. Quitting with Ctrl-X and checks
  17.                                for carrier loss were added and connection
  18.                                protocol was changed. More testing...  
  19.                                
  20.       1.04     02.05.1989      Some changes to Laser and Shield energy,
  21.                                error in Missile Guidance System was 
  22.                                corrected. Testing copies were sent to   
  23.                                a few potential users. Still not publicly
  24.                                available.
  25.                                 
  26.       1.05     11.05.1989      Included code to check if DesQview (tm) is
  27.                                active. If it is, then 'Ouch, that hurts'
  28.                                will not be said, since it would crash the
  29.                                system (uses INT 08). Thanx to Kim Heino
  30.                                for reporting this problem and for code to
  31.                                check DesQview's presence. 
  32.  
  33.       1.06     18.05.1989      Added a sleep-time on the main menu. If no
  34.                                key is pressed within two minutes, LineWars
  35.                                will quit with message: 'Sleeptime exceeded'.
  36.                                This is because some modems do not tell the
  37.                                real Carrier Status, so if a user logs off
  38.                                while a BBS-door-LineWars is active, it did
  39.                                stay active forever! Thanx to Pekka Koivunen
  40.                                for reporting this.
  41.                                Disk errors while writing Settings are now
  42.                                handled properly (a generic 'Disk Error' -
  43.                                message is shown). Thanx to Kim Heino for
  44.                                pointing out the importance of this.
  45.  
  46.       1.10     22.05.1989    - A small bug in sleep-time corrected.
  47.                              - Check for EGA adapter changed, thanx to

  51.                                Now your enemy is on your right, behind the
  52.                                rotating asteroid!  
  53.                              - Added keys PgUp and PgDn to control speed.
  54.                              - Added code to exchange version numbers in
  55.                                initial handshake. This means, that future
  56.                                versions will be downwards-compatible with
  57.                                this version.  
  58.                              - CGA version (LineWarC) saw the daylight, it's
  59.                                version number was also 1.10 to minimize
  60.                                confusion between version numbers.
  61.  
  62.       1.11     24.05.1989    - Corrected a bug in Parameter Exchanging

  65.                              - Added support for COM3 and COM4.
