THE HISTORY of TCMDE Part 1.
=========================================================================

v1.00  07/25/93    * Limited Initial Release. Wanted to work out the major
                     bugs squished.

       08/01/93    * Author gets side tracked due to major abdominal
                     surgery. Doesn't write any code for several weeks
                     for obvious reasons.

v2.01  09/15/93    * Initial Shareware release
                   
v2.05  09/16/93    * PPE's were not loading properly.......FIXED!
                   
v2.10  09/19/93    * ALL Color's are now SysOp configurable.

v2.11  09/20/93    * v2.10 sent out on the wire with no REGISTER.DOC!
                     Optimized some code which should improve speed.
                     Still working on categorizing doors.

v2.50  09/21/93    * Slight Display bug with new colors..........FIXED!

                     If your system had less than 15 doors which
                     is less than 1 page, they were not displayed
                     correctly...................................FIXED!

                   * ADDED: Ability to categorize Doors!

                   * ADDED: Command line switches!

                     OPEN A - displays ALL doors
                     OPEN C - asks category

v2.51  09/22/93    * I went and fiddled with the Command line!
                     v2.50 wasn't allowing you to go right into
                     a door from the command line................FIXED!
                     The High price of Progress! ;)

                   * ADDED: TCMDE_ED.EXE - This is a little configuration
                            file editor written by Chuck Valecek! Fire
                            this up for quick changes without the comma
                            headaches normally associated with a file
                            like TCMDE.CFG!

                            Say it with me guys.......Thanks Chuck!

                   * Unless someone finds a bug, this is the last
                     version of TCMDE for a week or 2! I have an
                     article to work on for the PPE Newsletter!

v2.60  09/23/93    * No bugs to squish, but I had some requests that
                     I thought would improve the code.

                     Request 1 - Improve display speed.
                     Request 2 - Keep LST files static so they
                                 don't grow so huge!

                     These two are actually related so I went back to
                     work..........

                   * YOU MUST DELETE *EVERYTHING* IN THE TCMDE DIRECTORY
                     TO UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION. The way I was calculating
                     Times opened for each door was pretty slow so I changed
                     it. the .LST files stored in the TCMDE directory are
                     now *STATIC* in size! They will NEVER get any bigger!

                   * I re-wrote a ton of code for this release so holler
                     if a bug pops up!

v3.01  09/         * YOU MUST DELETE *EVERYTHING* IN THE TCMDE DIRECTORY
                     TO UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION. Due to next Item!

                   * Times opened counter expanded to 99999!

                   * Added the ability to specify a PPE path
                     when calling other PPE's!

                   * Times Opened counter was not counting if user
                     issued the "OPEN 'shortcut'" command........FIXED!

Note:              I have had many people comment on the fact that my PPE
                   does not count correctly when the user access's the
                   Door/PPE directly with the shortcut command. The reason
                   for this is simple, my code does not get called!!! the
                   only way to do this would be to add a line to EVERY door
                   batch file calling my code before the selected door.
                   There are many managers out there that already do this.
                   TCMDE was not designed for this purpose! TCMDE is
                   designed to be fast and SIMPLE!

                 * Thanks to everyone for all the GREAT suggestions! I   
                   realize that there have been a ton of versions, but   
                   each time I send out the code someone comes back with 
                   a new idea! I think it better to have many releases   
                   than to ignore good ideas!
