ConfMenu

New In Version 6.3



    New Registration Code Routines added. Your old registration numbers are no longer
    valid. You will need to get a new KEY file. The information on how to obtain it is
    in the NEWKEY.TXT file. It is free to all existing registered sysops.

    Minor code tweaking. Please note that all files must reside in the PPE 
    directory. If you want to store display/color files (in the TBL file) in
    a subdirectory of the PPE directory, you can by ONLY giving the
    subdirectory name and filename. The PPE Path will be pre-pended to the 
    entry.

    Added checking for the J;N and J;P options for attempt to skip past the
    high conference number or before the Main Menu respectively.

    Updated Writing of USERNET file to restore it to previous condition after
    exiting

    Few other minor alterations I HOPE will speed it up (it still seems as 
    slow as a I remember but hopefully...
    


    CONF-REG.PPE - Minor Code Tweaking. 
        Improved scanning time for name by replacing a loop that scanned
        the entire user file getting each user name, when only one
        call was necessary to find the user name (or lack of).
        Also, no longer exits if it doesn't find a name, but rather
        lets you go back and find a different name.
    
        -When Locking a user out of conferences, the ppe now clears ALL
        flags, then proceeds to lock them out.
        
        -If someone wants it (and reminds me) it ought to be pretty easy to 
        add Netstatus to the list of flags that can be set (it is already
        cleared during a lockout.

    CMW.PPE - Minor tweaking to improve performance somewhat.

New In Version 6.2 (09-16-95)

     Changed how ConfMenu determines if a conference should be masked or
     not. Instead of a single entry in CONFMENU.TBL which would apply to
     all networks, now you can mask on a net by net basis. Now you will
     add a new line to each nets entry in CONFMENU.TBL after the table
     file's name and before the column number. See DOC file for details.

New In Version 6.1 (07-02-95)

     Fixed bug where it was looking for PROMPTS.EXT even if EXT didn't exist.
     Fixed a bug with the N and P subcommands (join Next & join Prev).
     Added capability to display a pre-made screen for one or more
     particular nets or groups, and still use ConfMenu for others. See
     the CONFMENU.TBL section of the CONFMENU.DOC file for details on
     how to enable this.

New In Version 6.0

     Recompile. New Reg Codes Needed - See NEW-REG.NUM file.

     Now as a menu option is the letter H, to display a help file. This
     file is called HELP and must be located in the PPE directory. Also
     supported with this file is full LANG, GRAPHIC and SECURITY levels.

     ConfMenu now includes a bonus PPE called Conf-Reg, to allow local or
     remote user maintenance as far as the removal or restoring of access
     to network conferences! See CONF-REG.DOC for more info.

     ConfMenu now utilizes TPA technology so you will need to install a TPA
     called CWPPE via PCBSM. See the TPA section in the CONFMENU.DOC file.

     The PROMPTS.CM file is now renamed to PROMPTS for multilingual support.
     An update to the PROMPTS file. The menu prompt in Confmenu is now two
     lines due to added features. Instead of reading line 2 in the prompt
     file for the menu prompt, it reads both lines 12 and 13. We also added
     added lines 10 and 11 to the prompt file to show which is toggled, the
     display of the FEPBD flags for each confernece, or each conference's
     total number of active messages.

     Yes, ConfMenu can now display, on the fly, the total number of active
     messages in each conference displayed! This is toggle-able by the user
     so users can have it the way THEY like it. The best just keeps getting
     better!!

New In Version 5.9

     Minor code tweaking and recompile under PPLC 3.1 for PCBoard v15.21

New In Version 5.8

     Just another little bug fix. In 3 column mode with the FEPBD codes
     turned off, an extra carriage return was being sent thus showing a
     blank line in the header. Thanks again to Gary Inman.

New In Version 5.7

     Reduced code size by almost 40%! It now needs less memory and should
     no longer be a problem for those using DesqView. And it's also alot
     faster now due to reduced code.

     Fixed bug where a blank line was displayed in the conference name area
     if a user either A) was not registered in a private conference, or B)
     did not have enough security to access a public conference.

     Fixed bug where a blank line was displayed in the header IF the "FEPBD
     Code Display" was turned off. Fixed. Thanks to Gary Inman of WLA BBS
     for spotting this one.

New In Version 5.6

     Minor code tweak, cosmetic refinements, etc.

New In Version 5.5

     ConfMenu now displays conferences in a more readable columnar format.
     Meaning instead of reading conferences from left to right, line after
     line, conferences are now displayed column by column. And while ConfMenu
     is reading conference names into memory (a brief few seconds) a scanning
     status line is displayed at the top of the screen. Thanks to Stacy Smith
     for helping to describe this method to me.
