Updates Since V1.00         GOTCHA.PRG
===================

V1.00  - Bug with rebuilding table after userbase change. Wouldnt
        delete users after a userbase pack.

       - Didnt update the users security properly (added more points!!)

       - GOTCHA.TAB didn't write out properly.

V1.01a - Fixed GOTCHA.TAB bug. Wrote new routines for table
         rebuilding. Now works fine.

       - Sorting of table and details speeded up by reading the whole
         of the table and userbase into memory and sorting in ram.
         Speed increase of about 55%!!

       - Added logging arrangements.


V1.01b - Fixed security update bug. Ironed out some bugs in the
         logging. Now logs any system errors into the logfile.

         Bug in finding GOTCHA.TAB. Defaults to normal working
         directory!

v1.02 - First Beta Version sent to Mark Williams at Nickleodeon.

v1.11 - 1st Beta Bug Fix and Additions.

Mark Williams.
==============
        Bug in output of message file printed a '1' character at end.Fixed.

        Added dropped carrier count in message printing.

        Added option to switch off any action in CFG file (by setting delay
        to zero.)

v1.12 - Log file bug (Reported wrong security drop.) Fixed. (Mark Williams)

      - Taken out carrier count because it bombed!!!

      - Fixed another logfile bug (Time of rebuild didnt show correctly)

      - Added facility to bypass GOTCHA using a program DONTDOIT.PRG (
        for some games like ST-Ing which hang users up, or for use in
        a DOR file for new user (ie if a new user is online, writes out
        a protection file so that they dont get continues messages..)

v1.13b- Fixed problem with LASTUSER.LOG. If there is no LASTUSER.LOG, Gotcha
        assumes that the user either dropped carrier before logon, or an
        error has occurred and quits cleanly..

      - Added different message for each action. Config lines for actions
        now consist of the following :

        REDUCE_SECURITY,10,3,H:\GOTCHA\SECURITY.TXT

        SET_FLAG,A1,5,D:\GOTCHA\SET_TEXT.TXT

        DEL_FLAG,A3,6,H:\GOTCHA\DEL_TXT.TXT

        WRITE_NOTE,1,H:\GOTCHA\MESSAGE.TXT

        .... where the new entry is a text file to be printed when action
        is taken...
        YOU MUST SPECIFY A FILE NAME FOR EACH ACTION. It is compulsary.
        however, you can specify the same file for more than one action.


     - Cleaned up logfile. Now reports any system errors.

     - Reduced screen information to minimum. Now displays essentials and
       errors only. Logfile carries full report now, and has been cleaned
       up considerably!

     - Extra error trapping for non-existant and corrupted files. Gotcha
       now reports errors in GOTCHA.TAB (rebuilds index) GOTCHA.CFG (clean
       exit). If a file doesnt exist this is reported.


v1.13- First Release Version

v1.14- Fixed LASTUSER.LOG deleting bug by removing the routine <grin>.
       It's easier if the renaming or deleting of the LASTUSER.LOG
       after a user has logged off in the Batch File.

                            GOTCHA EDITOR
                            =============

V1.00 - Wont write out ASCII table for sysop. - Sorted now...

V1.01 - If sysop resets users total to 0, editor now asks if the message
        should be deleted.

V1.02 - Bug From Mark Williams - Won't print out full list of people who
        dropped carrier.. TOS version incompat.. Added new routine to check

      - Added HotKey on Main Menu.

                             DONTDOIT.PRG
                             ============

v1.00   - Written first for Gotcha v1.12beta. Writes out a file in QBBS
          directory for checking...


                             KILL_MSG.PRG
                             ============

v1.00   - Run this in your welcome door if you need to. It basically reads
          the DORINFO1.DEF File (which has the user number in it) and
          deletes the USER???.ASC message written. Requested by Mark
          Williams to allow sysops who dont check the BBS regular to
          automatically delete the message after the user has read it..


          			REBUILD.PRG
          			===========

Just another little speed up utility. It was suggested that if no-one
drops carrier for a while, and yet new users were logging on in the
drones, that the rebuild that occurs inside Gotcha, would delay the
time between the logoff and the front end being ready for the next
call. Therefore, the rebuild is now available in a seperate program
which should be run from the same folder as GOTCHA.PRG/CFG. This keeps
the table up-to date, even though smaller rebuilds will still take
place in GOTCHA itself.. Just run REBUILD.PRG in an event from your
mailer or something.
