    MUE Maximus User Editor v0.13wb      History       Wide Beta Version    


      Credits:

  Before I forget, I have to give credit to Gary Zarzycki for a lot of
  the nuts and bolts in this program.  There are too many to list here,
  but suffice it to say that were it not for him this program wouldn't
  be where it is now (if ever!)  Thanks Gary!

  For the second color option, I thank Gary Gilmore.  I liked it so much
  I bought the company!  :-)  Okay I just implemented the colors, but I
  do like them more than my original choice.  (See the COLOR2 option in
  the Config Menu > Color Options for his suggestion.)

      v0.01 thru v0.04:

  These versions were for just the basic screen colors, layouts, and
  basic i/o routines.

      v0.05:

  At Gary Gilmore's suggestion, I added a second color option in the
  configuration menu.  I really liked his suggestion over my version,  I
  left the old version in as some beta testers liked it.  Also, added
  the purge menu option stuff though the actual purge routine wasn't
  quite finished in this version.

      v0.06

  Finished the purge routines.  Purging from the command line is now
  possible with MUE.  I also added time slicing for those using Win95,
  OS/2 has had it since the first version...

      v0.07wb

  This was the first wide beta version released.

      v0.08wb

  Corrected a problem in the Key Label definitions.  Seems if you put a
  value in the A-G keys they'd actually be saved in the Q-W positions.

  Corrected a problem when entering values greater than 65535 in the
  Matrix Credit/Debit fields, by default this also corrected some of the
  other fields too.  Note that a value cannot exceed 65535 due to
  limitations in the field sizes as defined by Scott Dudley.  Thanks to
  Bill Cooper for the heads up on both of these mites!

  Fixed the ChatA flag option.  (Boy, I never dreamed I had this many
  critters in this program!)  :-)  Seems I had reversed the logic so it
  was reporting the reverse value.  Thanks to Jack Smith for reporting
  this one!

  Implemented the page up/down keys in this version.  Currently set to a
  value of 10.  Thanks to Michael Kirst for reminding me to implement
  them.

  MUE will no longer display a Sysop level user's password regardless of
  the show password option.  The only way to see a sysop's password is
  by pressing the W key to change it.  A minor attempt to keep prying
  eyes from knowing them.  Thanks again to Michael Kirst for this
  suggestion.

  I broke the time portion in the 1Call and LCall fields.  These are now
  fixed.  Thanks to Jack Smith for reporting this error.

  Fixed a problem with packing/purging users.  If a USER.EXT file didn't
  exist, MUE would blow up with an error.  This is fixed now.  Thanks to
  Bill Cooper for reporting this error.

      v0.09WB

  Corrected yet another problem in the Key Label definitions.  This one
  is very embarrassing, I was displaying key choices 1 thru 9 and A thru
  W.  Should be (and is now) 1 thru 8, A thru X.  Thanks to Michael Kirst
  once again for noticing and reporting this mite!  For those that
  defined your keys, they will be skewed by one after key 8.  Sorry about
  this, but you'll have to reenter your definitions.

  Finally got the LIst option working.  Of course the milage on this one
  will undoubtedly vary for you.  :-)  If there are any mites left, most
  likely it will be in this new routine.  Please let me know if you find
  any!

      v0.10WB

  Fixed the LCall field not being displayed in the LIst routines.  - LC
  Also, corrected a display problem in the fourth screen, the MtxCrd and
  MtxDbt fields were overflowing.  Also corrected a minor screen paint
  error.  Thanks to Gary Zarzycki for pointing these out.

  Finally implemented the displaying of the Key definitions.  The key
  definition is now displayed in the Expire field when editing users keys
  (pressing K).

  Corrected a logic flaw with the /g command line switch.  I was setting
  the value to 1 if a number specified was greater than the last user
  record.  Per Phil Roberts suggestion, MUE will simply jump to the last
  user record under these circumstances.

      v0.11wb

  This is the first version to made available via FTP, I'll leave it up
  to Gary Gilmore to distribute it via the FDN since this version expires
  on 3/31/97.

      v0.12wb

  At Gary Zarzycki's suggestion, I moved the page number box (LIst mode)
  to the bottom of the screen and added a background color to help make
  it a little more readable.  Thanks Gary!

  Fixed a bug in my routine for the OS/2 version that due to a typo
  wasn't releasing timer ticks, MUEP was sucking 100% of the CPU...

      v0.13wb

  Fixed the D052 or P052 error when packing or purging the user base
  again.  Temporary fix for this if it comes back again is to simply
  add a description to any user record, I recommend your user record as
  it's not likely to be deleted and thus recreate the error later.  To
  add a description, load MUE(p) and on your user record press E to edit
  and then press your up arrow key once to highlight Description.  Press
  enter and enter a description, any text will do for this purpose.
  This will create the USER.EXT file and should prevent the error.

  Added the ability to pass a config file name to MUE(p).  With this, it
  is possible to use different configurations.  The switch for this is
  /c.  Example:  MUE(p) /cD:\MUE\MUE001.CFG

  Added a Sort option.  This can be accessed by pressing Ctl-S or Esc >
  File > Sort from the main menu.  This option strictly sorts in memory.
  I see no need at this time to permanently sort the user file.  As
  usual, I have tested this quite a bit but if you find anything wrong
  let me know.

  Changed the name of the Help file, see the ReadMe.1st file for details.

  Enjoy!
