*****The Verify Door v1.17 is a bug fix to v1.16.

TCBV v1.17 is a bug fix only and is otherwise identical to v1.16. Version 1.17
fixes the following bug: the unregistered version of tcbv v1.16 would not
display any prompts to the user! My apologies, but this one slipped by the
beta testers!  Guess I need to get some beta testers that will run the code
as unregistered..........

If you are still running v1.15, then here are the comments made when v1.16 was
released, still valid for the bug-fixed version 1.17:

A few annoying things had been changed in v1.16 to make the door more
user friendly to the user as well as the sysop. This latest version has
been in the works since Jan 1991. Every effort has been made to make
this the best and most user-friendly release yet! Quite a few sysop
comments and suggestions have been implemented in this version, so
many thanks to the sysops who took the time to type up suggestions for
future versions.

This version now reads your com port and other configurations from PCBOARD.DAT
instead of you having to manually configure for them (why I didn't think of
that before is beyond me!)

The user can now press <enter> to continue instead of having to type a C to
continue, making the door operation look a little more like PCBoard.

The config program (SETUP16.EXE) has been enhanced and modified with
first-time setup and upgrade situations in mind.

Please read the UPGRADE.DOC file first if you are upgrading from v1.15.

The pack utility has also been updated (finally).

12-23-90 v1.15

*****The Verify Door v1.15 is a major revision of the internal workings of
the code. New comm routines have been incorporated that allow up to 115,200
baud on com port 1-8 using any hex address and IRQ lines 1-7. The comm routines
are interrupt driven and is much faster than previous versions. Changes have
been made for entry  #3, and #5 in the TCBV.CNF file. Please check the docs
for info on re-configuriing this new version!!!
John Russell of Safari BBS has also revised the TCBVDCNF config program......
Thanks John!!!!

*****The Verify Door v1.14 was never released due to major problems.
11-17-90
*****The Verify Door v1.13 is a bug fix for sysops listing more than one
area code in the TCBVAREA file. No other changes made.

11-17-90
*****The Verify Door v1.12 is basically a maintenance release with only one
minor bug fix and some changes regarding the networking flag (line #15 of the
config file). This flag should be set to Y only if running PCBoard on a
network and/or running more than one node of PCBoard. If you are multitasking
and running one node, then I suggest setting this flag to N.
Also, carrier loss detection has been added to the door code, along with some
CTS flow control for slightly faster call back. If your new user drops carrier
while entering or in TCBV, an entry to your log file will be made with the
user name, date and time and a note that carrier was lost. Please the readme
file for more detail on error handling.


*****The Verify Door v1.11 is a maintenance release only, just a few
minor bug fixes......
Updated TCBVTEXT to remind the user to wait for the prompt after getting
re-connected.

*****New features to The Verify Door v1.10

You can now configure The Verify Door easily by running the config program
included with this release. Just be sure all files for The Verify Door are in
the subdirectory that you intend to run the door from, then just run either
INSTALL or TCBVDCNF and you'll be well on your way to easy configuration.

A new file has been added, TCBVAREA, which should list the area code of your
local calling area. Multiple area codes can be entered, one area code per line.
This was added as a hacker prevention feature (see docs for details).

The text in the color opening screen is now centered a little better than it
was, and if registered, your BBS name will also be auto-centered. (No biggie
deal, I just want this thing to look nice!)

TCBV still prints the telephone number verified to comment line #2 of the
user record if so configured, but now prints the date on that line as well.


*****The Verify Door v1.09 new features since last release:

You can now configure TCBV to hang up on the user after it has called him back
successfully, regardless of whether or not it is a local call and regardless
of whether or not the verification was successful. This feature should be of
use to sysops who have to pay for each call whether long distance or not in
such areas as Northern Virginia and Chicago.

TCBV can also now be configured to add byte or file upload credit to the users
record after a successful verify. If you have been running previous versions
of this door, you must insert 3 lines in the config file after line 21, change
the entry on lines 18, and 21 through 24 in accordance with the docs.
This feature is ignored in the demo version.
