08/18/93 MT-Matrix (v1.13) --------------------------- Many improvements/addtions and fixes. Please see the file WHATSNEW.DOC for reference updates and info about this release. 08/05/93 MT-Matrix (v1.12) --------------------------- - Minor improvements and some bug fixes. - Starting with this version new changes and addtions will be explained in detail in the included WHATSNEW.DOC file. Please see the WHATSNEW.DOC file for more info on this update/release. 08/03/93 MT-Matrix (v1.10) --------------------------- - Fixed some minor cosmetic oops - Slight adjustments in the code using the latest available PPL compiler. (optimized the code some more, applied some new/better programming techniques to some existing features) Results: Matrix now runs faster -----! - Added an External PPE launcher module to the matrix. Sysops can now create new commands / programs and just run them as matrix commands. - Added Logic to DEDUCT whatever Time it was added to caller via the Matrix.CNF option: ADD TIME AT MATRIX LOGIN - Added new command CHKMAIL This commands lets callers check the PUBLIC msg file for mail addressed to them. - Added a new command CHKSYS Lets the SYSOPS check for new mail in the SYSOP Msg file. - Added bulletins, and a new drive D: see DRIVES.CNF for more info. - Found a problem with CHECK command. If a caller had used a (,) or a (.) in their names then it wouldn't find their proper entry in the users file FIXED! - Matrix can now run other PPE files via any display file. Just insert a call to a ppe using the ! command, in any of the display files. - Found a problem with the POST public message. If a caller entered a MSG TO: Name other then ALL then that was not reflected at save time and regardless of whatever other name the caller entered the msg to be addressed to, matrix always displayed; Saving messaged addressed to: ALL. FIXED! Matrix will now insert the proper name which was used during the MSG TO: Name entry. - Added complete Matrix LOG file to /Standard version . Matrix will now properly create a NODE1.LOG, NODE2.LOG, NODE3.LOG etc... in other words Matrix will keep a log file for each node running under. Full monitoring for matrix activities are logged onto the NODE LOG files including Caller Name (IF AVAILABLE) (DATE / TIME Connected to matrix) (CONNECT SPEED / Carrier) what graphics mode the caller logged onto the matrix and just about everything else that a caller can do at the matrix prompt. - Added a new feature / command -> SYSOP. From within the SYSOP module you may run MSG Maintenance, View the Matrix Callers Log files. Other sysop features which will be added to the matrix in the future will also be placed inside this module. - Sysop Message Maintenance is now included in a seperate module, command named SYSOP . The previous version of MT-Matrix had the Sysop Msg Maintenance built into the READSYS feature/command. This was changed due to many of you asking for it to be a seperate feature, as some some sysops like to give READ SysOp Feedback mail priveledges to Co-Sysops, but do not wish to give them access to actually deleting any of the msg files. {Also see note below re: bug fix to DELETE Msg Maintenance} - Found a bug with the Sysop Msg Maintenance. It would ask if the Sysop wanted to delete the Sysop.msg file and prompt with a Y/n prompt, then would procede with asking if sysop wanted to kill public.msg file, and show another Y/n prompt, well if answering NO to killing Sysop.Msg file then even though you could answer Yes to kill Public.msg file, it would not work correct. FIXED! - Number of lines for both the POST Public Msg and SEND FEEDBACK to Sysops are now configurable/definable via Line 19 in Matrix.CNF file. This had been a request as some sysops complained that the previous 99 line max limit was too much and was encouraging some users to post huge Feedback msgs without being necessary. Well if 99 lines for the editors is too much, just edit line 20 in matrix.cnf file and specify whatever amount of lines you would like to use (NOTE! No more then 99 lines is recommended!!!) But the setting can indeed be whatever you would like. 07/03/93 MT-Matrix (v1.00) --------------------------- - Looks like it's okay! Release v1.0 /Standard hits the streets. - See Matrix.Doc file for info on features.
