.sp
[1]31-10-93:  The first release will be on Outpost23.  This is my bbs and it 
will make a good test zone.  Running over Linux v99.12 and useing a 14.4kbs modem.
.sp
[2]4-11-93: Added some color and added some rules.  Multi functioning on
Linux.  A few users have called and it seems to work for them.
.sp
[3]6-11-93: Added a few updates and a bit more color.  This is still in its
beta release, but so far so good.  No real problems yet!
.sp
[4]6-11-93: Bug fix in the subject line to send automail to sysadmin.  I replaced
spaces with underscores, I did use ':' but that is also a seperator and would
cause messages to be sent without a recepiant.
.sp
[5]6-11-93: Added a help file for the users to better understand the system.
This will make things easier.  The go:menu function works and is good for 
those who know where they want to be.
.sp
[6]7-11-93: First version where users can apply for a personal account.  This
will allow users to download a document to fill out and upload back to this 
system for me to set up the accounts.
.sp
[7]9-11-93: Added a pause after the help screen and cleaned up the application
for personal accounts.  So far I am the only one testing this system.
.sp
[8]13-11-93: Fixed a few bugs in registration and the upload/download form
scripts.  I still need a little bit of work on them like few tests.
.sp
[9]14-11-93: BBS starts out with a friendly little screen that changes every ten
seconds so the users will always see a different welcome screen (or at least
ten different screens).
.sp
[10]15-11-93: Fixed a bug with the users name.  The current users name will now 
be very specific and to the point.  Of course at this point no body uses the
system.  I am working on getting some games online, but thats up to Sonic Rampage.
.sp
[11]15-11-93: I added a bit of color here and there and added to the help file.
This program is going pretty good, but I need some games and a file section.
.sp
[12]26-11-93: Cleaned up menus, made things look nicer.  Installed an upload
section.  Make menu searches more specific.
.sp
[13]30-11-93: Rapid release due to a last minute upload by a user.  User needed
to get a few files online, so I edited a quick method file transfer.  I will
probally need to write an application to transfer files.
.sp
[14]30-11-93: Clean ups and error corrects.  Added command list, and error
checking on the go command.  These will help users a bit.  Also changed
the help file to a troff formatted test.
.sp
[15]30-11-93: Cleaned and ready to go again.  Fixed little bug in list 
function.  Making main menu smaller.
.sp
[16]30-11-93: The methods (2) of uploading and downloading applications work.
If the users follow directions they should give any trouble.  Good Luck.
.sp
[17]4-12-93: Last minute release for new user on-line this was a quicky by
included two new commands users, list.
.sp
[18]4-12-93: fixed a few...
.sp
[19]3-1-93: Released for the public on Outpost23.
.sp
[20]5-1-93: Added some more headers and changed a few menus.  The upload
and download sections just shell into the respective directory.
.sp
[21]8-1-94: Added a few more editors for mail and news.  Neated up a few
files also.
.sp
[22]12-1-94: Made the suggestions to sysop and other mailing functions a
bit more user friendly.  I added a quick help at the begining of the
message.  I hope the users also like being able to change there password.
.sp
[23]19-1-94: User freindly is the keyword here.  My mother can use the
system with no problems.  My mother hates computers and doesn't ever use
them, the last computer she used was our programmable VCR.
.sp
[24]19-1-94: Sped up the help screen my precompiling the text.
.sp
[25]29-1-94: This version locks out the slower users and allows the other
uses to up much ansi graphics.
.sp
[26]29-1-93: Fixed the menu list for the bbs account when it is used by
other it in a directory off of the users called .bbs and this caused
trouble.
.sp
[27]30-1-94: Pretted things up with some ansi's and removed the list users
from the mail menu.
.sp
[28]6-2-94: Cleaned up the mail responce option.  I really should convert
this program to C.  I feel that it is a CPU and Mem hog.  I will optimize
it later.  I still have a few bugs here and there to iron out.
.sp
[29][6-2-94: Fixed the help bug.  I made searches more specific to save
time and be more accurate.
.sp
[30][8-2-94: Lockout bug fix, thanks to Midnight Bomber, I make user of the
.profile for the bourne shell.  All user speeds below 2400 get dropped into
a shell account.
.sp
[31]8-2-94: Fixed bug with shelling out to UNIX, the command to move to
your home directory before shelling will save users trouble with ending up
in a readonly file area.
.sp
[32]20-02-94: This version doen't need the symbolic link to the users home
directory.  This makes things run a little faster and cleaner, plus saves
some inodes on the hard disk.
.sp
[33]20-02-94: I changed a few of the document files.
.sp
[34]02-03-94: Did some work with it on/in SunOS 4.1.3.  The main program is
now mostly bourne specific.  I also fixed a few menu and code problems.
.sp
[35]05-03-94: I added a few fixes needed from a while ago.  Things look a
little better with the tabs on the menu options.  I have started working on
the C version of this program.
.sp
[36]02-07-94: A public pre-release on tsx-11.  I added many new functions
and this is a full C version of this program.  I am hoping for many
comments and suggestions, I feel the code is pretty clean, but I shouldn't
test my own code.
.sp
[37]23-07-94: Sent out a few releases of baseline 5.6, mainly my request on
email.  I will try to make another release public with baseline 7.0.
.sp
[38]19-08-94: A few baseline 5.22's were sent out a while ago, this had
been ported to the Ultrix system and a few bugs were fixed.  These next
few versions will be publicly released for developers to pick up.
.sp
[39]03-01-94: Baseline 5.42: This includes all MSDOS and Ultrix ports ready
for the developers and testers.
