                              January 2, 1993

WR-BBS version  1.00 released.  Documentation still being "fine tuned", but
essentially complete.  This is the first official release of WR-BBS.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              January 3, 1993

WR-BBS version  1.00A released.   Documentation now includes explanation of
SysOp keys  available while  callers are  logged on, the "down" option, and
how to configure questionnaire.

                       BUGS FIXED IN VERSION 1.00A:

1.   The <ENTER>  key did not redraw the screen in the SysOp Administration
Menu.

2.  There was no "choice?" prompt in the SysOp Administration Menu.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              January 6, 1993

WR-BBS version 1.00B released.

                     FEATURES ADDED IN VERSION 1.00B:

1.   The MODEMDELAY  keyword was  added to  WRCONFIG.SYS, to compensate for
modems that don't like to have command strings sent quickly.

2.   The CARRIERWAIT  keyword was added to WRCONFIG.SYS - allowing SysOp to
configure how  long WR-BBS  waits for  carrier detect after ringing occurs.
(had been hard-coded to 30 seconds).

3.   Support for  special "imbedded  character commands"  in  screen  files
added. This  scheme allows  for a  special character, the tilde ( ~ ) to be
included in  an ASCII or ANSI screen file.  When a tilde is read by WR-BBS,
the following  character is  interpreted as a screen display command by WR-
BBS.   In this  version, the only screen command implemented is ~P to pause
screen output at any point.  Others will be added.

BUGS FIXED IN VERSION 1.00B:

1.   Documentation did  not describe WFILEXFR.BAT very well - improved with
detailed explanation of how WFILEXFR.BAT and external protocols work.

2.   Upload compensation  (minutes added)  now works reliably, and does not
compensate callers who abort uploads.

3.   Documentation did  not describe  the UPLOADBONUS configuration item in
WRCONFIG.SYS.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             January 16, 1993

WR-BBS version 1.00C released.

                     FEATURES ADDED IN VERSION 1.00C:

1.  The log file now records whether or not a caller has chosen ANSI during
the logon sequence.

2.   Caller's connect  speed is  displayed on the status line, beginning at
initial logon, and when each menu is transmitted.

3.  If caller has made a reliable (error-correcting) connection, the class-
of service character, shown on the status line, flashes.

4.   The "toggle  busy" feature,  ALT-T, was  removed from the "waiting for
calls" screen, and replaced with "Purge Mail" (ALT-P).

BUGS FIXED IN VERSION 1.00C:

1.   WR-BBS now passes the locked DTE speed instead of the caller's connect
speed when executing WFILEXFR, if LOCKDTE=Y.

2.  Help (ALT-H) from "waiting for calls" screen now works.

3.     ALT-R  to  recycle  port  from  "waiting  for  calls"  screen  fully
implemented.

4.  Additional error-checking added to prevent temporary system hang when a
malicious caller  sends a stream of several thousand garbage characters and
then drops  carrier.   WR-BBS now reacts immediately to the loss of carrier
during input, even if modem input buffer contains legitimate input.

5.   Pointer-to-hex string  routine modified  to report  segment and offset
properly when reporting fatal errors.

6.   Error handling  procedure  corrected  to  properly  handle  the  SysOp
pressing CTRL-BREAK immediately after WR-BBS is started, while overlays are
still loading.   Formerly  reported "UNKNOWN  ERROR AT  LOCATION NIL",  now
correctly reports "UNEXPECTED CTRL-BREAK".

7.  Caller help screen for main menu (HELPMAIN.*) implemented.

8.   Telephone number validation routine changed to allow new "strange" but
legitimate telephone numbers such as XXX-200-XXXX.

9.   The /INIT  routine was  modified to  not even  attempt  accessing  the
database if  the SysOp entered an off-the-wall home path, such as "\??<<< "
or "@\NUL",  etc.   This prevents  the W-TREE utility from logging repeated
errors when it attempts to close the inaccessible files.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             January 23, 1993

WR-BBS version 1.00D released.

                     FEATURES ADDED IN VERSION 1.00D:

1.   By popular  demand, WR-BBS  now accepts  "space bar"  the same  as the
<ENTER> key  when output  pauses.  When the caller sees the "PAUSED (M)ore,
(N)onstop, (Q)uit"  prompt, they  can press  spacebar,  and  that  will  be
accepted to mean (M)ore.

2.   The files  listing now  shows and estimated download time, in minutes,
for each  file listed.   This  gives callers  an idea of how long each file
would take  to transfer.   Keep  in mind  that the  value shown  is a rough
estimate -  based on the Xmodem-1K protocol and the caller's connect speed.
The calculation  is rounded to the nearest minute (no seconds).  High speed
connections (9600,  14400, etc)  result in rounding down to "0 minutes" for
small files.


BUGS FIXED IN VERSION 1.00D:

1.  Registration form is now included in WR-BBS archive.

2.   Documentation  file  now  properly  describes  use  of  UPLOADAREA  in
WRCONFIG.SYS.

3.   A bug in the Files Search function was repaired.  It displayed deleted
file descriptions  matching the  callers  search  pattern.    It  now  only
displays current  descriptions that  the caller has access to (based on the
callers COS).

                             February 12, 1993

WR-BBS version 1.00E released.

                     FEATURES ADDED IN VERSION 1.00E:

1.   Database file compaction is now available from the "waiting for calls"
screen (by  pressing ALT-C).  This feature removes deleted records from all
of the  database files. The resulting files are smaller.  If a large number
of deleted records existed prior to compaction, a slight increase in search
speed will also be noticed after compaction.

2.   A new  keyword for  WRCONFIG.SYS was  added.   The CALL_LOG=  entry in
WRCONFIG.SYS determines  which of  four ways  the (W)ho  Called listing  is
presented to the caller.  See documentation for details.

3.   When the  SysOp is  logged on  as a caller, an additional line appears
after the  main menu  screen has  been transmitted, before the prompt.  The
line says  "You are  the SysOp  - press Z for SysOp Administration Screen".
This was  added due  to the  number of SysOps who were asking how the SysOp
screen is accessed.

BUGS FIXED IN VERSION 1.00E:

1.   When the  SysOp edited  a file description, if star (*) was entered to
get a listing of file areas available, the names of the file areas were not
transmitted to  the remote  screen (but appeared only on the local screen).
This error has been corrected.

2.   Some minor typographical errors corrected in .EXE and .OVR files, such
as "compenstation" and "invaild entry".

3.   Default (sample)  bulletin screens  edited to  remove "Happy Holidays"
bulletin and other date or site-specific information.

4.   Removed screen  file DOWNLOAD.ANS  and  DOWNLOAD.ASC,  which  are  not
referenced in  version 1.00B  or later.   The feature allowing "download by
number" was  removed prior  to initial  release, and this screen file was a
holdover from that feature.

5.   The batch  file OSACCESS.BAT  was edited  to make it more generic, and
more fully commented.

6.  Blank lines in WRCONFIG.SYS no longer cause errors to be logged.

7.   Fixed a  bug that  caused WR-BBS  to abort with a range check error at
0D89:0221 when  an invalid ANSI code was executed.  If the SysOp created an
invalid screen  file with  an ANSI  code which  requested the  cursor to be
moved "up" past line zero (which is an invalid ANSI code), WR-BBS attempted
to do this and crashed.  Impossible ANSI commands are now ignored.

8.   In the  SysOp administration  section, when  the SysOp is editing user
records, the "Z" command is now displayed.  Although the command was always
there, "Z"  to delete  a user  record was  not displayed on the screen (nor
documented), so SysOps didn't know how to remove unwanted users.  Note that
"Z" to  delete a user marks the user record as deleted.  The record remains
inaccessible permamnetly  until the  database is  compacted, at which point
such records are removed from the file.

9.   A minor  bug in DOOR.SYS was corrected.  If the caller dropped carrier
immediately after  selecting a  door, WR-BBS  attempted to  delete DOOR.SYS
twice.   The second  delete attempt  failed and  an error was logged, along
with six  or seven  lines of  "[CALLER]" DROPPED CARRIER".  This error only
showed up  if the  caller happened  to select  a door  and  then  instantly
terminated the connection.
