History: January 19, 1993 - ver. 3.0 released with major change in format. (That no one should notice too much unless a bug crept in...) Now allows the 2ACT.CFG path\name to be specified on the command line. Allows a *NO* 2ACT.NAM file option (place an N in the 2ACT.CFG file instead of filename) for sub-boards either sharing the USERS file with first account, or just not using aliases. This option loads a 2nd board assuming all user checks are done by PCB, and is done to just streamline and speed up entry to that board by the users. 2ACTSM made more friendly... extended debug available. All text displayed over COM port echoed to the local screen now. - This release was the first step in supporting PCB @ codes for graphics support of message files and PCB environment variables for the 2ACT.CFG file - to be incorporated later... December 1, 1992 - ver 2.8 released as an enhancement. Now will look at subscription expiration date of a User to decide what the proper User level is to be. 2ACTADD change to ensure large multi-node BBSs cannot inadvertently place an improper User in the 2ACT.NAM file. September 13, 1992 - ver 2.7 released to properly address non-standard COM ports. 2ACTCVT conversion program no longer included in the ZIP release. Minimal CALLERS log file entries if desired for registered versions and BRUN45.EXE no longer required, resulting in a noticeably faster loading of the second account. August 31, 1992 - ver 2.6 released to fix a major typo error that could lock up the COM port when NOT ALLOWED or LOCKED OUT users accessed 2ACT. August 26, 1992 - ver 2.5 released to allow non-standard COM ports. August 21, 1992 - ver 2.4 released to allow modem connections up to 115K. Previously, 19.2K was the maximum. This was also the first step to allowing non-standard COM port use, which will be incorporated in the next release to allow use of IRQ 1-15. Nag screens added to unregistered versions. Changes made to enhance Callers log entries. Desqview now also works without error with Second Account! Apologies there was such a lag releasing this version, due to personal commitments elsewhere. A couple enhancements are planned soon again. December 2, 1991 - ver.2.3 released account of an error found when used with PCBoard 14.0 - 14.2. Also corrected the problem of reading an editor altered PWRD file (not the same format as saved by PCBSetup). November 30, 1991 - ver.2.2 (still) - released as 2ACT22A.ZIP Enhanced the 2ACTSM.EXE System Manager program. Also, a little clean up of the docs, as so many people had a problem reading them before? A CLEAN PCBTEXT file has been included, ready to use! The docs now clearly show the changes made compared to the 14.5a release version. October 26, 1991 - ver.2.2 - Added a feature meant for 3.0, the ability to do a check in the calling BAT file if it is the first time in for the day for a User. This is meant only for PCBoard 14.5a+ use, and can be used to force the User to read NEWS files, new messages, etc. the first time entered each day. Also, minor changes to the 2ACTSM for appearance sake via Doorway. October 20, 1991 - ver 2.1 - First non-test version release, 2ACT21.ZIP Includes a fix for a problem not always handling LOCKed or not ALLOWed users properly. Additions to the docs as seen needed. October 6, 1991 - ver.2.0 beta, as 2ACT20A.ZIP Inadvertently, the wrong 2ACTSM.EXE and 2ACT.EXE were previously included in the ZIP - no problem, however a number of debug purpose statements were included in that ZIP, annoying and slow October 5, 1991 - ver.2.0 beta release September 25, 1991 - ver.2.0 (local beta) A complete re-write, changes format, security, maintenance, etc September 15, 1991 - ver.1.2 beta Network relative fix for NEWGUY file September 14, 1991 - ver.1.2 beta Network fix September 11, 1991 - ver.1.2 beta Major typo occurred in 2 places - this is a fix. The previous version docs showed the command line and the LOCK parameters flip flopped in position in the .CFG file. September 10, 1991 - ver.1.1 beta Major change in error handling, to insure all errors are trapped properly to be located in source code, and any errors occurring will properly exit and reload the first account. A locking parameter is also now expected in the PCB2ACT.CFG file, to prevent anyone barred from the second PCB account from entering. Date Unknown (Jan 91?) - ver.1.0 alpha/beta I threw together PCB2ACT real fast for use on my BBS...No regard for error handling, control, etc.
