Version History ----- 1.21 ----- Fixed a possible bug that could occur during power outage during the maintenance leaving a temp file that wouldn't be deleted. The temp file will be deleted at the next maintenance run now Maintenance release. Optimized the code. Added - ability to display Language/Graphic/Sec specific Header file Added - ability to display Language specific News files Noticed that the RANDOM color option often (well most of the time) chose the same color for the date and Separator bar. Have added some code that should make this occurence happen less often. ----- 1.20 ----- There was a line limit in NEWSFLSH.PPE of 78 characters, INCLUDING @x color codes. This line limit has been removed to allow for more color codes in the text, but it is up to you not to create a line that is too long. Modified the PPE to allow for RANDOM Color schemes each time. There is still a bug I haven't tracked down, which prevents the PPE from performing maintanence on a news file that is specified on the command line. This is next on the agenda for version 1.3 Minor tweaking to the editor. Broke some code, somewhere, which is preventing lines with only spaces or Tabs to be recognized as not a blank line. until fixed in 1.3, use an alt+255 Hard Space to create blank lines. ----- 1.10a ----- No changes to NEWSFLSH.PPE NEWSEDIT.PPE added to ZIP. NewsEdit is a PPE to add new entries to a news file used by NEWSFLSH.PPE reducing entry errors. ----- 1.10 ----- Two command line options added. NEWSFLSH.PPE [MAINT] [FileName] MAINT - Performs maintenance of news file removing old entries. Must be the first argument if used. Filename - Newsfile to display. Overrides Config file entry. If used with MAINT, then maintenance is performed on specified file instead. Filename MUST reside in the PPE directory Another option added to the configuration file. Now the color of the bar that separates the Date from the entry can be entered. Online registration ppe added to my BBS for Instant KEY file generation. This is still a free PPE and so is the registration. ----- 1.00b ----- Needless pause replaced in later beta version. Beta release: Included new security routine for registering. Released as freeware to test registration routine libraries. ----- .90 ----- Not released: First draft, works correctly on home system.
