SITEINFO - the multi-mailer-random-siteinfo-system
==================================================

04.11.1991:     first public beta release 0.1

..........:     many, many little minor versions, to much
                to writ'em down;-)

19.07.1992:     last FrontDoor-only version 1.20b


Version history (starting with version 2.0):
--------------------------------------------

12.08.1992:     official release 2.0

13.08.1992:     official release 2.0a

                - bugfix: changed the filehandling for the log-file
                  from text-type to binary-type, opening in writemode/
                  denywrite.  (Hans Siemons reported problems with the
                  logging while reading the logfile from remote!)
                  Reason: TP is not using FILEMODE with textfiles :-(

                + added DOS-SHELL (key D). Thanks to Thomas Wagner for
                  his really great swapping-routines!

15.08.1992:     release 2.01

                + added D'Bridge-only-parameters -NAME=<x> and -LOC=<y>
                  Alexander Holzmann reportet that the name and location-
                  information in DBRIDGE.PRM has *no* fix line-number...!

                  IF SOMEBODY KNOWS HOW D'BRIDGE STORES THIS INFORMATION,
                  PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW............................!

28.10.1992:     release 2.01a

                - fixes only a small problem when determining if the
                  mailer's environment-variable is a really existing path.
                  Does only apply to NETWORKS which are running under NOVELL
                  NETWARE LIGHT 1.1 with the CLIENT.EXE - Update-patch
                  OPENDEV.PAT dated 28.08.92.

28.02.1993:     release 2.10

                + added PORTAL OF POWER 0.50/0.56 support

                + added key F in interactive mode (search entry)
                + added key G in interactive mode (search again)

                - fixed small bug. Siteinfo did not recognise a changing in
                  'main-time' as "change" and would not save (unless you have
                  changed anything else).

                + redesigned the (F8) overview-window.

                + SITEINFO now requires a key to be fully registered. (There
                  are still no limitations in the unregistered version!)

07.03.1993:     release 2.11

                + added field LAST to every entry. Here you can see, on which
                  date and time this entry has been activated the last time.

                + added TAB-key to jump to the active entry.

                - removed 80286 specific code. Siteinfo should run on all
                  machines now...

                - small cosmetical changes

13.03.1993:     release 2.12

                - removed any delays in non-interactive mode.

                + added L-key to specify a 'program-delay'. Means: change site-
                  infos only every "x" times the program is started.
                  (Usefull e.g. if you have many mailercalls/-exits and do not
                  want you siteinfo change every time!)

09.07.1993:     release 2.20

                - added support for INTERMAIL 2.22 (MAILER.xxx)

                  call Siteinfo with parameter "-#=x" where x represents
                  the actual server-number!
                  e.g.: siteinfo -im -c -#=2
                        siteinfo -#=1
                  if -#=x is omitted, server#1 will be assumed!
                  (be aware of the "=", which is NOT used by intermail
                  itself!)

                - added support for FrontDoor 2.20/c ($TASK$-macro for the
                  logfile and NAME/FLAGS - fields)

29.08.1993:     release 2.21

                - added support for Portal Of Power 0.69/beta.
                  (Hopefully it works, I don't know exactly because I have no
                   POP-beta-version myself!)

21.11.1993:     release 2.22

                - added a counter to PRIVILEDGED entries. After pressing F7
                  you will be asked for a value, HOW often this entry should
                  be treated as PRIVILEGED. If this value is reached, the
                  PRIVILEGED-status will be cleared. (Useful e.g. for new
                  version-announcements via your siteinfo! :-)
                  Set the counter to ZERO (0) to activate the PRIV.-state
                  permanently!

13.12.1993:     release 2.30

                - increased the version number to 2.30 to reflect the changes
                  in the RSI-file-format! Siteinfo should automatically
                  convert old RSI-files to the new format.

                  Just copy the EXE, brand it, if you are a registered user,
                  and start it as usual.

                - Privileged entries may have a DATE now insteed of a counter!
                  This was the reason why I had to change the RSI-file-format!
                  There is enough space now for future expansions. Hopefully
                  :-) Have a look into the doc for further information.

                - The same goes for the state INACTIVE. Optionally you may
                  define a date until which Siteinfo should treat this entry
                  as inactive. (You will be asked for a date after pressing
                  the F10-key.)

17.12.1993:     release 2.31

                - To prevent errors in a multi-node-environment (can only
                  occur, if someone uses ONE RSI-file for multiple nodes at
                  the same time), Siteinfo will now create semaphore-files
                  (32-bit-CRC over the used RSI-filename, extension .RSI)
                  in it's homedir. If this semaphore is present AND NOT ELDER
                  THAN 10 MINUTES!!, Siteinfo will do nothing than reporting
                  the presence of a 'locking-semaphore'.

                - Changed the behaviour of the parameter /NOD
                  It's now valid in both modes, random-batchmode (/c) and
                  interactive mode. With /NOD, Siteinfo will only use VERY
                  slow bios-calls to handle the screen-I/O.

18.12.1993:     release 2.32

                - There is one special guy, who is nerving ... :-)
                  OK, here is the updated version which will

                  - show the state (priv./inact.) directly on screen
                  - allow to insert an ammount of days directly for privileged
                    and inactive entries (F7/F10).
