                                     HISTORY

01-01-97 Version 2.2
               - Ran Word datebase through spell checker. Corrected
                 17 incorrect words.
               - Improved Hall of Fame processing by LC
               - Fixed IBBS problem with sending empty score files.
12-01-96 Version 2.1
               - Corrected IBBS problem when batch file contained blank
                 spaces after command line parameter.
               - Corrected IBBS BOTH feature added last update.
               - Corrected bug in CHEDIT that did not edit the last word
                 on screen display correctly. 
               - Changed CHEDIT edit feature to make it a bit easier.
               - Correct display error on play screen that cut off Top
                 Player Name if over 16 characters. Now displays up to
                 22 character names.
11-14-96 Version 2.0
               - Added "Abort New Chain" by pressing just enter. This 
                 solves the program crash for sysops reviewing new chains
                 when a user entered a blank line in the new chains.
               - Added setting in CHREIBBS SETUP to try and address those
                 mailers that are not honoring the KFS flag. See CHREIBBS.DOC
                 **** Y O U   M U S T   R E R U N   CHREIBBS SETUP!!! ****
               - Added new command line parameter for CHREIBBS. It is BOTH.
                 CHREIBBS BOTH will run inbound then outbound.
               - Changed file naming system to try and prevent transmission
                 errors caused by duplicate filenames.
10-05-96 Version 1.99
               - Corrected IBBS bug that caused HOF processing of the wrong
                 day.
09-02-96 Version 1.98
               - While in InterBBS mode, all new word chains are now reviewed
                 by league coordinator prior to acceptance to database. They
                 will still be reviewed by the originating systems
                 designated reviewer. This will hopefully put an end to dupes
                 as well as really bad chains getting through.
               - CHREIBBS.EXE now logs all errors to file CHREIBBS.LOG
               - Sysop defined game bulletins no longer require the .ANS and
                 .ASC extentions. You may use what you like. ie BULL75.BBS,
                 BULL6, etc... REGISTERED VERSION ONLY.
               - Added time left display to remote display.
               - Added duplicate chain checking to New Chain review.
               - Added a spell checker to the New Chain Review routine.
               - Added option that allows sysops to designate a user
                 to review new chains. Should help busy SysOps.
                 YOU MUST EDIT the CHREACT.CFG !!  See SAMPLE.CFG
               - Added option to allow new chain reviewer to (E)dit submitted
                 chain as well as (A)ccept or (R)eject it.
               - Added utility SYSOP.EXE  This is now the program to review
                 new chains. It is called from game automatically when the
                 designated reviewer logs out of game. Can also be run from
                 dos prompt.
               - Cheat Fix. Fixed cheat where player could take extra
                 turns via Make Up Days on last day of month.
               - Added PLAY AHEAD TURNS. REGISTERED VERSION ONLY.
               - Cheat Fix. Game now records the play and increments to the
                 next chain at the beginning of play instead of during
                 score calculation. Fixes cheat where players get almost
                 to end of puzzle, then drop carrier and play same chain
                 on next logon.
               - Game is now capable of running simultanously on more than
                 one node. Game no longer uses INUSE.FLG for single node
                 locking. You may find it necessary to load DOS Share.
               - Removed the OUTDOOR system. This was needed to free up
                 program memory space for added features. From what I could
                 tell, few, if any systems were using this option anyway.
08-03-96 Version 1.97

                 with certain BBS software in identifying sysop.

                 of numerous users.
