L I N E W A R S Version 1.xx Made in Finland by Patrick Aalto Versions of LineWars 1.01 10.04.1989 First version, used for testing purposes only, not released anywhere. 1.02 15.04.1989 Included 'Dial'-option with a new procedure to handle input of a telephone number and codename. First tests via a telephone line. 1.03 22.04.1989 Included options to enable LineWars to run under MBBS. Quitting with Ctrl-X and checks for carrier loss were added and connection protocol was changed. More testing... 1.04 02.05.1989 Some changes to Laser and Shield energy, error in Missile Guidance System was corrected. Testing copies were sent to a few potential users. Still not publicly available. 1.05 11.05.1989 Included code to check if DesQview (tm) is active. If it is, then 'Ouch, that hurts' will not be said, since it would crash the system (uses INT 08). Thanx to Kim Heino for reporting this problem and for code to check DesQview's presence. 1.06 18.05.1989 Added a sleep-time on the main menu. If no key is pressed within two minutes, LineWars will quit with message: 'Sleeptime exceeded'. This is because some modems do not tell the real Carrier Status, so if a user logs off while a BBS-door-LineWars is active, it did stay active forever! Thanx to Pekka Koivunen for reporting this. Disk errors while writing Settings are now handled properly (a generic 'Disk Error' - message is shown). Thanx to Kim Heino for pointing out the importance of this. 1.10 22.05.1989 - A small bug in sleep-time corrected. - Check for EGA adapter changed, thanx to Antti Kaihola. - Added scoring routines. - Changed the initial positions in the game. Now your enemy is on your right, behind the rotating asteroid! - Added keys PgUp and PgDn to control speed. - Added code to exchange version numbers in initial handshake. This means, that future versions will be downwards-compatible with this version. - CGA version (LineWarC) saw the daylight, it's version number was also 1.10 to minimize confusion between version numbers. 1.11 24.05.1989 - Corrected a bug in Parameter Exchanging routine, which sometimes missed letters in Enemy Name. - Added support for COM3 and COM4. 1.12 06.06.1989 - Scores are sorted by name during save. - Small bug in CGA version, check whether LW is online or offline, corrected.
