DOORWAY is now distributed with a copy of DWCOMM.  The DWCOMM is documented
by another doc file in this zip file.

A new feature has been added, and that is printer redirection.  By placing
a /Y: in the DOORWAY command line, the printer interrupt on the HOST end
will be hooked, and any printer output will be sent to nul.  If a /Y:R is
put into the DOORWAY command line, then the printer will be redirected to
the remote end.  DWCOMM will allow you to capture the print to a file, or
send it to the prn, lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3 printer.  See the DWCOMM doc for
more information.

Note that the /J: has been eliminated, so you should remove it from your
DOORWAY command line if you are using it.

There have been numerous bug fixes and incompatability problems resolved.
In addition DOORWAY will now change into the directory a program is in,
prior to running the program if there is a /CD in the command line.  This
eliminates the problem being unable to find its own file, by being in the
wrong subdirectory.  The subdirectory will be restored upon return to
DOORWAY.  However, if there is no CD in the command line then DOORWAY
will NOT change directories, thus allowing the program running under
DOORWAY define what directory DOORWAY is to return to.

Two variables have been added to the menu (/I:) abilities.  If you put a
@TIME@ or @NAME@ in the menu text, it will be replaced with the time left
and USER name respectively.  So, in a menu you can put a line like this in:

Welcome to the BBS doors section @NAME@. Your remaining time is @TIME@ minutes.

Note that both NAME and TIME must be in caps.

What's New   -- DWHost v2.02

6/8/91

 - Fixed minor bugs in which "Bye . . ." was being sent to the modem
   when terminating the program AND a logoff message was being sent
   to the log also when leaving the program if not running from batch
   file.

 - Cleaned up the modem monitor operation.  Now, on the line headed
   "Modem:" the strings to/from the modem are displayed more slowly
   so that there is the perception that the displayed data is filled
   from the right after the 35-byte display string has been initially
   filled.

 - Added a slow speed initialization of the modem.  The modem init string
   is sent to the modem at 10 char/sec.  Thereafter, strings are sent
   at full speed.

 - Corrected a problem where the modem would not be taken offhook on
   some modems when True Ring Detect is selected (True Ring Detect = Yes)
   on the configuration screen.



What's New   -- JaxHost v6.0á1  and DWHost v2.0á1

First BETA compile - 6/4/91

1. JaxHost and DWHost code is now contained in the same source files.

2. Modem AT command of E0 has been added to the default init. string.

3. NEW FEATURE:  If you configure the system with no password (delete
   any existing -- or the default -- password) then JaxHost/DWHost will
   immediately exit (Drop into configured application such as Doorway).
   This useful when used with applications which implement their own
   security.

4. NEW FEATURE:  We now have fully configurable comm port setup.  If
   you specify a comm port number greater than 2 on the setup, you
   are prompted for the port address and IRQ number.

5. NEW FEATURE:  As an aid in trouble-shooting, all strings sent to the
   modem AND all modem responses are displayed on the status screen
   adjacent to the new label of "Modem:".   As new strings are sent or
   received from the modem while it is in command state, it is inserted
   into the display at the right, shifting earlier data to the left in
   order to keep the same length display.

6. No longer is an "ATZ" sent to the modem.  This just in case someone
   has a "V0" as the intial setting (thus V1 would be turned off to V0
   and we would no longer have verbal response codes).  We would not get
   an "OK" and thus would detect "Modem Reset Error".

7. Bug fix -- if the comm base locations 40:0 thru 40:7 were all nulls
   (BIOS had not initialized to the installed ports), the code would
   exit on an error.  This has been fixed such that the comm base
   locations are set according to how this program is configured.
   (Examnple: If we are configured for COM1:, the system memory locations
   of 40:0 and 40:1 are set to 0F8h and 03h respectively.)

8. Added ability to escape Modem Reset Error loop by hitting F1 or F2 (the
   normal program termination keys for JaxHost).   (This had been installed
   in DWHOST earlier).

9.  Extended the "wait for CD" duration when answering a call from 20 seconds
    to 45 seconds.  (Some v.32 modems can take a while to synch up.)  (This
    also had been added to DWHOST a while ago.)
