		   ENHANCED WHO v1.0 (c) 1996 by Doc Ansi
			      SHAREWARE / FREEWARE

 
 INTRODUCTION

HISTORY

v1.0 - 22/09/96
   Beta testing completed. Should work perfectly fine. If you still can
   find some bugs in it, let me know. More configurations added!

v0.65 
   Some bugs fixed. Never Released

v0.61 - 07/09/95
   I finished coding the v0.6 and I went to the shower, there I realized
   that there was a major bug in the previous version. I got back from
   the shower, and fixed it.. SO DON'T USE VERSION 0.6!!
	

v0.6 - 07/09/95
   As I found many little bugs in the previous version, like the total
   screw up in the Smodem Group chat version, it is now fixed and should
   be working. I also added the total batch status to the who, so you
   can see how many megs someone has already downloaded/uploaded/skipped
   in their batch. As for I didn't have much time, there are no other
   big differences. But for the ones that use Smodem Group Chat, this
   is a big release! And one positive thing, is that you can just install
   this version over the old one, and you don't have to configure the 
   .cfg files!!! 

v0.5 - 29/05/95
   Finally, you all get what you have been waiting for.. NOT A BETA version
   of Enhanced node staus viewer. Because of shelling to dos, I have included 
   two .PPE:s! The EWHO.PPE, that should be installed for users to see, and
   SWHO.PPE, that should be installed for sysops. The difference between 
   these two is very slight. In SWHO.PPE, the screen is saved while shelling 
   to dos and reloaded after the shell. While in EWHO.PPE the screen is not
   saved and is not redrawed. This is not done, because it not needed while
   running .ppe remote, while locally if you shell to dos, the screen is 
   cleared. If you ask me, why does the .ppe has to shell to dos, well, I'll
   tell you. It's beacuase some external protocols don't allow to access 
   PCBDSZ.LOG without a 'Network Delay...' And that is why the .ppe has to
   shell.. You'll also find some nice things in this ppe, like the file view
   and nuke duke minor support. You'll also see, to who the person on the 
   other node is entering a message to. So enjoy, and contect me if you 
   find any bugs.
   

v0.3ß 
   As many of you have been waiting for such a long time for this release,
   I'm glad to anounce that it is out now. In this version, the batch support
   has been added along with smodem group chat support. Many bugs have been
   fixed since the last public release. I have also added nuke duke support
   and i have fixed the file view bug. Also a door bug has been fixed. The
   only problem is, that i had to hard code the ansi's.. I'll try to make
   them more configurable, than they are now. For now, enjoy.. also remember
   to set /z:%DSZLOG% to your smodem protocols.
   

v0.05ß
   First of all: This IS A BETA VERSION! Though I have tested it a lot, it
   sure might still have some bugs, but contact me, if you will find something 
   anoying. This version should also support smodem group chat, though, I 
   haven't tested it. If you have smodem group chat version, let me know
   how this who works. I have also added bunch of nice things, like idle time
   etc.. enjoy.
