Version history of CrossWords: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Version 4.0 -- June 1, 1996 -- This release includes a scoring module incorporated into the cwords.exe program; it is backwards compatible (ie., meaning it will work with any of the previous puzzles created). ============================================================================= Version 3.5 -- May 25, 1996 -- This release addresses a problem that multi-node BBS's had with the way in which CrossWords wasn't sharing opened files across nodes. As of version 3.5 this problem is now fixed. ============================================================================== Version 3.1 -- May 20, 1996 -- Maintenance Release. Only a minor change in the way in which the program handles 'detecting' whether or not the remote caller has ANSI loaded. Special thanks to Rich Coon for this one. ============================================================================== Version 3.0 -- April 3, 1996 -- Well, the player scoring had bugs that would require extensive debugging to fix; so I have removed the scoring algorithm for now - should have it worked out for version 4 later this year. -- Seems I forgot to reset/clear the puzzles before zipping up the archive; corrected that problem. -- Added CWEDIT to this release - used to create/modify puzzles for use with CrossWords. Will only work if you have CrossWords registered. -- Added edraw option to the program. ============================================================================== Version 2.0 -- December 23, 1995 -- Added player scoring to the program. Added 5 new puzzles to the program. Re-wrote the program code to use random access files for .dat files; this dramatically cut down on the number of files on the Hard Drive and sped up the program quite a bit. ============================================================================== Version 1.0 -- December 3, 1995 -- First public release! ============================================================================ Version 0.1a November 14, 1995 -- Compiled source code using QuickBasic 4.5 & DoorFrame 4.9 -- Set a limit of 2 trys per puzzle per player for unregistered version. Registered versions are sysop configurable. -- Added a screen for non-ANSI users before dumping them back to the BBS. -- ANSI REQUIRED!
