There are too many to list here, but suffice it to say that were it not for him this program wouldn't be where it is now (if ever!) Thanks Gary! For the second color option, I thank Gary Gilmore. I liked it so much I bought the company! :-) Okay I just implemented the colors, but I do like them more than my original choice. (See the COLOR2 option in the Config Menu > Color Options for his suggestion.) v0.01á thru v0.04á: These versions were for just the basic screen colors, layouts, and basic i/o routines. v0.05á: At Gary Gilmore's suggestion, I added a second color option in the configuration menu. I really liked his suggestion over my version, I left the old version in as some beta testers liked it. Also, added the purge menu option stuff though the actual purge routine wasn't quite finished in this version. v0.06á Finished the purge routines. Purging from the command line is now possible with MUE. I also added time slicing for those using Win95, OS/2 has had it since the first version... v0.07wb This was the first wide beta version released. v0.08wb Corrected a problem in the Key Label definitions. Seems if you put a value in the A-G keys they'd actually be saved in the Q-W positions. Corrected a problem when entering values greater than 65535 in the Matrix Credit/Debit fields, by default this also corrected some of the other fields too. Note that a value cannot exceed 65535 due to limitations in the field sizes as defined by Scott Dudley. Thanks to Bill Cooper for the heads up on both of these mites! Fixed the ChatA flag option. (Boy, I never dreamed I had this many critters in this program!) :-) Seems I had reversed the logic so it was reporting the reverse value. Thanks to Jack Smith for reporting this one! Implemented the page up/down keys in this version. Currently set to a value of 10. Thanks to Michael Kirst for reminding me to implement them. MUE will no longer display a Sysop level user's password regardless of the show password option. The only way to see a sysop's password is by pressing the W key to change it. A minor attempt to keep prying eyes from knowing them. Thanks again to Michael Kirst for this suggestion. I broke the time portion in the 1Call and LCall fields. These are now fixed. Thanks to Jack Smith for reporting this error. Fixed a problem with packing/purging users. If a USER.EXT file didn't exist, MUE would blow up with an error. This is fixed now. Thanks to Bill Cooper for reporting this error. v0.09WB Corrected yet another problem in the Key Label definitions. This one is very embarrassing, I was displaying key choices 1 thru 9 and A thru W. Should be (and is now) 1 thru 8, A thru X. Thanks to Michael Kirst once again for noticing and reporting this mite! For those that defined your keys, they will be skewed by one after key 8. Sorry about this, but you'll have to reenter your definitions. Finally got the LIst option working. Of course the milage on this one will undoubtedly vary for you. :-) If there are any mites left, most likely it will be in this new routine. Please let me know if you find any! v0.10WB Fixed the LCall field not being displayed in the LIst routines. - LC Also, corrected a display problem in the fourth screen, the MtxCrd and MtxDbt fields were overflowing. Also corrected a minor screen paint error. Thanks to Gary Zarzycki for pointing these out. Finally implemented the displaying of the Key definitions. The key definition is now displayed in the Expire field when editing users keys (pressing K). Corrected a logic flaw with the /g command line switch. I was setting the value to 1 if a number specified was greater than the last user record. Per Phil Roberts suggestion, MUE will simply jump to the last user record under these circumstances. v0.11wb This is the first version to made available via FTP, I'll leave it up to Gary Gilmore to distribute it via the FDN since this version expires on 3/31/97. v0.12wb At Gary Zarzycki's suggestion, I moved the page number box (LIst mode) to the bottom of the screen and added a background color to help make it a little more readable. Thanks Gary! Fixed a bug in my routine for the OS/2 version that due to a typo wasn't releasing timer ticks, MUEP was sucking 100% of the CPU... v0.13wb Fixed the D052 or P052 error when packing or purging the user base again. Temporary fix for this if it comes back again is to simply add a description to any user record, I recommend your user record as it's not likely to be deleted and thus recreate the error later. To add a description, load MUE(p) and on your user record press E to edit and then press your up arrow key once to highlight Description. Press enter and enter a description, any text will do for this purpose. This will create the USER.EXT file and should prevent the error. Added the ability to pass a config file name to MUE(p). With this, it is possible to use different configurations. The switch for this is /c. Example: MUE(p) /cD:\MUE\MUE001.CFG Added a Sort option. This can be accessed by pressing Ctl-S or Esc > File > Sort from the main menu. This option strictly sorts in memory. I see no need at this time to permanently sort the user file. As usual, I have tested this quite a bit but if you find anything wrong let me know. Changed the name of the Help file, see the ReadMe.1st file for details. Enjoy! Larry Cooke cooke@playcom.com
