-- [ ChatBox 1.1 New Features 8/10/91 ] -------------------------------
* Three separate paging periods may be specified for each day of the week.
Previously, ChatBox provided one paging period for each day. While this
is sufficient for most Sysops, a few requests for an additional paging
period (during each day) were received. We decided to add two additional
paging periods. This provides more than adequate coverage for realistic
paging time needs.
* Added configurable colors in Split-Screen chat. The Sysop may choose
the colors for three different items: (1) the chat text, (2) the box
(line) colors, and (3) the Sysop and caller names. Using CBSETUP you
may see color selections by pressing F1 at the color selection prompts.
The color selection may also be viewed (tested) in CBSETUP by pressing
F2 at the color selection prompts, which provides a sample Split-Screen
chat display. ChatBox must be registered in order for the Sysop color
selections to be used in the ChatBox door.
* The blinking "Press ESC to exit chat" message at the bottom of the
screen (during Split-Screen chat) has been replaced with the node number,
BPS rate, caller name, and caller location (city and state).
* ChatBox will use the color defaults as set in PCBOARD.DAT for the host
screen (only) if the caller or local Sysop is in non-color mode, and the
host is a color display.
* When it is determined the caller's com program is not ansi capable,
ChatBox now places a message on the local display informing the Sysop
as to why ChatBox began in non-split screen mode (regular chat).
* It was brought to our attention that when a caller exceeds what would
have been their time limit while chatting in PCBoard, PCBoard would
display the negative minutes left. ChatBox 1.1 now does this also.
The previous version of ChatBox stopped the minutes left display at 0.

* Set_F10 now works without an additional keypress! Pop it up using F10,
press (Enter) for ChatBox, and ChatBox will begin immediately in Sysop
chat mode.
* Set_F10 window is now colorized (on color displays) for easier viewing.
