v4.11  Same as this version 4.10 except it will support the Billing Credit
       fields that are available in Wildcat! v4.11

       Support added for wcBILLING.  CatCharge! now lets you adjust
       the NetMail Balance, the Account Balance (subscription account),
       the *NEW* Billing Credit Fields in v4.11.   The plan is for
       CatCharge! to let your users pre-pay for the  Service (like a
       BBS Subscription), CatCharge! can then add to the
       account balances listed above, and the new MSI Product wcBILLING
       can then debit the User's account based on their actual usage
       for services.  Read about the POWER of wcBILLING from MSI's Press
       Release.  CatCharge! with wcBILLING is a POWERFUL Combination!!!
       CatCharge! also sends a notice to the appropriate wcBILLING LOG
       so that wcBILLING will report the purchase of credits in it's
       accounting. You will see a message that tell's you the user
       made a payment by CatCharge!  Read the wcBILLING docs for more
       information on this powerful program by MSI.

V4.10E Fixed a bug with Shipping Plan causing an endless loop if Shipping
       was toggled on and no shipping plan was set up.


V4.10  CatCharge! now allows User to enter a OTHER Ship TO address
       which is logged to the Sysop receipt and Logs.  CatCharge!
       also forces 2 prompts for Daytime and Evening Phone Numbers
       which are to be entered by the user.  The overall Sysop Receipts
       going to the Sysop and the logs has alot more detailed information.

       Added more information to Sysop's Receipt and Message.
       Added the Other Ship to fields and alot more detail about the
       user record changes being made by CatCharge!   CatCharge lists
       the BBS Name at the Top in the BANK.ORD and the receipts so
       services using the BANK.ORD format can now see what BBS the
       order is from.  Example:
       "Online Order from: <user> on Node # at MADDOG PRODUCTIONS"

       Added Support for Secondary Profile Changes.  When Setting up
       an item for sale in CatCharge!, It will ask if the Security Level
       was  a Primary or a Secondary profile change.

       Added the ability for the Sysop to attach a scanned GIF image to any
       item listed for sale.  The sysop just scans an item, formats it into
       GIF form, follows the naming standard listed in the CatCharge!
       documentation, and it is all set up automatically.  If the user
       selects (I)nfo on an item AND if a scanned image is present in the
       CatCharge! directory, they will be prompted to d/l it.

       CatCharge! now lets you assign NetMail Credits and Account Balance
       dollars on a per/ sale item basis.  These are set up when you
       set the item up for sale.  NOTE!  The Netmail and account Balances
       are ADDED to existing balances listed in the User's record.


       Small Bug Fixes:

       Fixed the TABS ROUTINE showing the True Media display screen even
       though the TABS.BBS was present in the CatCharge! directory.
       Would only effect those who Dont use True Media.

       Fixed the typos in TABS for $10 codes (said $15 which doesnt exist).
       
       UP40TO41.WCX is Required to Upgrade v4.0x CatCharge! programs.  This
       was required to support the NEW MSI WC! v4.11 database structure and
       to support v4.11.  If you INSTALL this v4.10 production release,
       you will NOT have to run UP40to41 when CatCharge! V4.11 comes out.




 4.00  Major Upgrade.  Change in Database requires a UP3to4.wcx  to
       convert v3 copies.   Biggest change is the TABS routines which
       are now more flexible for users.  CatCharge! can now accept
       combinations of Codes if Set by the CCONFIG.EXE program. It will
       allow you to offer the ability for the caller to obtain 2 codes
       from the 900 service to gain other BBS memberships.  CatCharge!
       can also be configured for TABS or similar plans offered by other
       companies. The Display screens used in the Tabs module are
       changeable (if configured).  A change in the Sysop menu, the WC!
       editor is now called in to Edit the Long Description fields.  Before,
       when you went to change a description, you had to start over. Now,
       Wildcat's own internal editor lets you create the long description
       with spell checking and all... Courtesy of wcCODE I might add.
       Cleaned up a few screens.  Please note! The Memory Requirement of
       CatCharge! was pushed to allow you to get 25 items per category and
       allow the user to mark up to 16 items in any category.  CatCharge!
       uses slightly more available memory than v3.x.  However, it is still
       within the recommended minimum requirements of Wildcat!  After all,
       it really is an extension of Wildcat since it is a wcCODE program.
       Shipping plans and Additional Fee more flexible. Can be turned on
       by setting an flag in the Item's Sale configuration.
       See UPGRADE.TXT for Upgrade Instructions.

v3.61  Small bug fix with  marking/tagging past 25 items. Also, The
       length of the User Receipts in the WC! Message made it difficult
       to Print-Screen, so I used the wcCODE Download feature in WC! to
       give the user the opportunity to download their receipt as well.
       Since it is wcCODE, Wildcat! actually does the Download.
       3.6 was distributed to few sites for this test version in early
       March.  v3.60 is a release.

       Please check Maddog Productions BBS periodically for Updates to
       CatCharge! by Freq  CATCHARGE   @1:2614/716 @fidonet

v3.50  Made alot of Product improvements. First, the biggy, was I reduced
       the memory requirements in the Marking Module so I could get more
       items to list and Tag for the user. It was set at 16 because of the
       stack limitation in wcCODE. I optimized some code and was able
       to move it up to 25 items now. So, You can have up to 25 items
       per Selling area and the user can Tag up to 25 items now.
       This version is compiled in v4.10 of wcCODE. I also added/enhanced
       the Display screens a bit.  There was a potential for the user
       to crash the program out if they tagged to many items. It was not
       reported to me, but I added some code in just to make sure it wouldn't
       happen.  I also enhanced the Sysop Reciept for reporting the EXP
       date if NOT changed by CatCharge!     Please also read the TRICKS.DOC
       file for more important information.

v3.41  Made  a Better Sysop Message for Tabs Online Orders.
       CatCharge! is approved for Joyce and Associates Inc. Check their
       ZIP archive included.

v3.40  Dragon Business Services, INC added DISCOVER card to their service.
       CatCharge! will now accept Discover when configured for Dragon.
       ADDED a LOCKOUT feature for Sysops who wish to lock some users
       out of the DOOR.  See the DOCS under Customization/Exclusions.
       CatCharge! uses the WILDCAT! User Record for this information.

v3.31  Fixed Check Account size and added some validation.

v3.30  Fixed a problem with Large Checking account numbers NOT
       validating.  Fixed length of Check No field.

v3.20  Added the Prompt for Bank Name for Non-Dragon Configurations.

v3.12  Added Time was limited to Security Profile Upgrade and not being
       added properly.... Fixed.

v3.11  New SHELL Feature.  CatCharge! can now be configured to Execute
v3.10  a DOS Shell to run a Batch File AFTER the user successfully
       purchases an item.  You can provide the name of the Batch file
       in the CatCharge! Sysop menu when editing/configuring an item
       for sale.    See 3RDPARTY.DOC and the CatChg.DOC included!
       3.11  Fixed a problem with Editing Price  on some items.

v3.0   New Features!  Added Wildcat Subscription Account Balance feature.
       CatCharge! will now put the amount purchased in the Sub Account
       balance of the User when they make a purchase. Also works with
       a TABS Purchase (10.00 or 25.00) would be put in the User's account
       balance.  Comment (5) lists the date the CatCharge processed the
       Order, now you will also have the amount listed in the record.
       (This was a suggestion by a Sysop. Thanks!)

       Also, Cleaned up the Logs a bit to keep em shorter.  A friend of
       mine wrote a SETUP program which will be included to make the
       CatChg.CFG file.  (See Thankyou! above) CCONFIG.EXE does it!
       This should make the Installation a lot easier!
       New PROMPTS for Credit Card Purchases and Checks Purchases.
       MORE SUPPORT FOR Sysops who have their OWN Merchant Status:
       When DRAGON is NOT Used, CatCharge can be configured to either
       take just Checks or Just Credit Cards, Neither, Just Tabs..etc.

v2.0   Big Changes!   Dragon Business Services NO Longer accepts Savings
       Account Transfers as of 2/28/95.  CatCharge! now only permits
       Credit Card and Check purchases when configured for Dragon's Codes.
       All DRAGON Business Services routines will now ONLY activate when
       you are provided a Code from Dragon. CatCharge!  Will NOT display
       any screen internally about Dragon Business Services, until you
       provide the necessary code in the .CFG file.  CatCharge! will  NOT
       create any Packet for Dragon without the Key Codes.  Contact Dragon
       Business Services, INC to get set up. (See Zip File).  When the Dragon
       Codes are entered in the .CFG file, CatCharge! will activate all
       required screens and Dragon routines that are required for Dragon
       Business Services, Inc.   SAVINGS Option is removed.

       CatCharge! will now support Credit Card Purchases for those Sysops
       who have their own Merchant account.  CatCharge will create a
       report of the transaction.  It supports NON Dragon Customers who
       have their own Merchant Status or own billing.
       (See Documentation for Credit Card Setup)

v1.5   A user reported that the Checks/Savings option wouldn't activate.
       I traced this to the Country Field entry in the User's Database.
       Fixed.

v1.4   Minor Changes.  I cleaned up a few Prompts to make it more clear
       for the user when entering Check information.  I also added some
       additional Checking on certain fields.

v1.3   MINOR change!  CatChg.CFG has NEW added feature.  SETNDEL=ON or OFF
       will (If ON) set the USER's Never Delete Flag in Wildcat IF the
       CatCharge! program upgrades their Security Profile. Setting it to
       OFF will make no change to the Never Delete flag.  I also added an
       additional line when User Tags item to direct them back to the Main
       menu to Order the Marked items.   ThankYou.BBS was changed a bit.


v1.2   Fix a Bug related to the EXPIRATION DATE. If EXPIRATION DATE was left
       blank in the WILDCAT user Record, Catcharge would not update the date
       correctly.  NOW, CatCharge! will use the Current Date if the EXP Date
       was left blank.  FIXED.    A couple of users wanted the ability to
       exclude certain security profiles from using CatCharge's Categories.
       Now, CatCharge will look for ITEMx.EXC for Each category and will not
       allow the user to enter a Category if they are listed in ITEMx.EXC
       (Substitute the x for the Category number!!!)

       Ex: ITEM1.EXC would be a listing of Profiles Excluded from Category 1.
           ITEM10.EXC would be a listing of Profiles Excluded from Category 10.

       The ITEMx.EXC must be located in the Same directory as CatCharge. See
       the Documentation for more information.

v1.1   Released to Public Jan 1995.  Enhanced Main Menu a bit with some Color

v1.0   Initial Release.  Was tested for 3 Months prior to Release to Public.
       It is a full featured Door for Wildcat! Sysops running v4 using
       Dragon Business Services.  I added TABS support for People who use
       TABS.  It seems that most of the Online Ordering Doors have Tabs
       Support, And some users requested it.
