Time Vault -- Update Information ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ::: 2.60 (release 08-28-91) + Added a local status line. + Added "Transfer" command. + Added Sysop Chat mode. + Added "List" command to Sysop menu. + Added activity log file. + Enhanced file access in multi-user systems. ::: 2.50 (released 08-06-91) + Modified prompts to look just like Searchlight 2.x. + Improved number input routines -- much cleaner. + Added an optional command, 'Goodbye', to the Time Vault menu. Use the '/G' command line switch to activate. + Modified the syntax for the command line parameters. ************************************************************************ +++ READ THIS if you are upgrading from an earlier version of TVAULT +++ ************************************************************************ == The command line parameters have changed. READ CAREFULLY! Format: TVAULT.EXE [-mb=] [-mw=] [-g] (a '/' can replace a '-' in the above syntax) -mb= This parameter stands for 'maximum balance', the most a user may have on deposit in their Time Vault account. This number must be between 0 and 32767<-- that's a lot of minutes. It defaults to 60 minutes, which would be written as '-mb=60', on the command line. -mw= This switch is for 'maximum withdrawal', the number of minutes a user is permitted to withdraw per day. The valid range for this setting is 0 to 1440. A setting of 0 means the user can withdraw as must time as they want (assuming they have it in their account). The default setting for this is 30, which would be written as '-mw=30', on the command line. -g This switch activates the new "Goodbye" command on the Time Vault command menu. By turning on this switch, your users will be able to initiate a logoff of the BBS from the Time Vault door. When the user is returned to Searchlight, the BBS will immediately display the LOGOFF display file and hangup the user. NOTE: The one limitation to this feature is that when used, your BBS auto-logoff door does not get executed. ::: 2.40 (released 05-05-91) + This version is compatible with Searchlight version 2.15+. It will not work with any previous Searchlight release. + Maximum balance decreased from 50000 to 32767 minutes. (dont ask) + Maximum daily withdrawal increased from 255 to 1440 minutes. ::: 2.30 (released 09-22-90) + Fixed several minor bugs... Can't even remember what they all were. ::: 2.22 (released 09-10-90) + Added option to disable the Daily Withdrawal Limit by specifing (0) as the maximum daily withdrawal amount. + Fixed a bug when a very high maximum balance was set. (above 32,000) Caused Time Vault to sometimes not allow deposits. (silly me) ::: 2.21 (released 09-01-90) + Fixed 'bug' not allowing creation of new TVAULT.BBS for new Time Vault users. (I just love bugs) + Disabled Cntl-C breaks. ::: 2.20 (released 08-22-90) + Increased maximum balance size to 50000 minutes. + Added feature of maximum withdrawals/day.
