   TID: GE 1.2   
       Here's a list of what we've been working on since v1.25/DOS of Renegade    
   was released.  Took some time off after Christmas, but we're back in the    
   saddle. ;)   
      
                        Updates since v1.25/DOS was released.   
      
    ============================================================================   
                       U - Updated     A - Added     F - Fixed   
    ============================================================================   
      
      
       A.  Not really a Renegade Fix, but added Lee Woodridge to the   
           Renegade Development Team.   
      
       A.  Added internal OneLiner Program.   
      
           New Files :   
      
             ONELH.* - Oneliners Header (Optional)   
             ONELM.* - Oneliners Middle (Required!!)   
             ONELT.* - Oneliners Footer (Optional)   
      
           ONELM.* MCI Codes :   
      
            ~AN (Anon - Yes/No)           ~AT (Anon - True/False)   
            ~DA (Date Added)              ~OL (The Oneliner)   
            ~RN (Record Number)           ~U# (User ID with '#')   
            ~U1 (User ID without '#')     ~UN (User Name)   
            ~UL (User Name Lowercase)   
            ~US (First 2 Letters of Username - iNiQUiTY Style)   
            ~UU (First 2 letters of username lowercase)   
      
           New MENUCMD Keys For OneLiners:   
      
               1L - Display Oneliner (Header/Footer & all Oneliners)   
      
               1R - Display Random line from Oneliner File   
      
       F.  Local file upload bug.  Before when uploading locally with   
           the FU command key after 1 upload it would stop and you would   
           have to repeat the process.  It somehow become broken over   
           the years and no one said anything.   Now it will upload all   
           files without stopping if a *.* is entered for the filename.   
      
       F.  When a file was moved, if it was a dupe, the file wasn't moved   
           but the description was.  This is no longer the case.  If the   
           file is a dupe, nothing is moved.  This prevents dupe file   
           descriptions.     
      
       F.  The (~TO) MCI Code in the LASTM.ASC file would display a random   
           number when viewed while the user was still online.  This has   
           now been updated to show " - " until the user logs off and   
           the correct time online will be shown by this MCI code.   
      
       A.  New MCI Code - %XYaa;bb% (aa=01-80 Left to right) and   
           (bb=01-25 Top to Bottom).  Allows format positioning of the   
           cursor without the need of having your ANSI menu file do it,   
           for you.  Say you wanted the word "Hello!" to appear in the   
           middle of the screen, it would be used as such:   
      
               %XY40;12%Hello!   
      
           The above would move the cursor to space 40, line 12, and put   
           your text of "Hello!" starting there.   
      
       U.  The Auto Message is now configurable.  It is like the oneliner,   
           last caller, user list, etc.   It has a header, main, and a   
           footer file in the MISC directory.   
      
           The auto message is now saved as "AUTOM.ASC" instead of   
           "AUTO.ASC" to make it conform to the rest of the code base.   
      
           New Files :   
      
             AUTOH.* - Auto Message Header (Optional)   
             AUTOM.* - (Can be made, but automagically made when a auto)   
                       (message is created.  This is your auto message.)   
             AUTOT.* - Auto Message Footer (Optional)   
      
        U.  Disabled Forgot password response for Co-SyOp and above.   
            This would prevent someone from trying to logon as the SysOp   
            and trying the forgot password question answer and resetting   
            it so they can logon as the SysOp.   
      
        U.  Can now scroll through the node settings without having to   
            load each node seperately.   
      
        A.  Added System Config Menu Option (N). SysOp Macros.  They were   
            moved from another submenu to make a more cleaner look and easier   
            to find.   
      
        F.  Removed System Config and File Area Editors strings from   
            the language files to prevent unwanted access.  Also removed the   
            MCI codes that ran these menus (which would've caused a problem   
            in certain instances.)   
      
        A.  YES/NO LightBar Choice options added to the YES/NO Prompt MENUCMDs.   
      
        F.  Split Screen Chat now auto scrolls and stays within it's   
            borders.  Also added help commands that are listed in the center   
            of the chat screen.   
        
        U.  When the SysOp breaks into chat via a "Chat Page" with the   
            SpaceBar the split screen chat will auto load.  Otherwise, the   
            normal line chat will be used.   
      
                            Chat commands are as follows:   
                    ALT-C - Line Chat      ALT-S - Split Screen Chat   
      
        U.  Teleconference strings are now located within the RGLNG   
            text file instead of the Node setup options screen in the system   
            configuration section.   
           
        U.  RENEGADE.EXE /? now shows what command line parameters are   
            available to run along with a short message of what each does.   
      
        U.  All strings are now combined into RGLNG.TXT.   
      
        A.  New MENUCMD  *T  to toggle SysOp Chat Availability without   
            the use of the SCROLL LOCK key.   Also, new MCI Code %SA to show   
            if the sysop is avaliable or not.   
      
        U.  Removed more strings from Renegade and added them to   
            RGLNG.TXT for more editing for the SysOp.   
      
        U.  Redid NewUser Toggle Questions Menu to add all toggles   
            in one place.  Remember to clear your all of your toggles after   
            you upgrade so the new changes will take effect.  Cmd Key of *   
            will do this for you.   
      
        U.  User #0 (Default account) can now be cleared for all user   
            options.  Cmd Key of $ will allow you to clear out which   
            fields you want to be blank instead of having a "." or some   
            random text in the user data file. This is also a good idea to   
            do once you upgrade as the forgot password question more than   
            likely has a space in it's field and more than likely won't   
            work until you clear the prompt with the $ cmd key.   
      
        U.  Updated OP Menu CMD options.  Be sure to change these in   
            your NEWINFO menu and PERSONAL info menus or else what you   
            have listed won't match what it does. ;)   
       
      
                            New OP Menu CMD Options:   
      
                   1  Handle   
                   2  Real Name   
                   3  Country   
                   4  Address   
                   5  City, State   
                   6  Zip Code   
                   7  Phone Number   
                   8  Age   
                   9  Gender   
                  10  SysOp Defined Question #1   
                  11  SysOp Defined Question #2   
                  12  SysOp Defined Question #3   
                  13  Password   
                  14  Forgot Password Question Answer   
                  15  Terminal Emulation   
                  16  ANSI Color Toggle   
                  17  Color Scheme   
                  18  Screen Size   
                  19  Screen Clearing   
                  20  Screen Pausing   
                  21  Hotkey Input   
                  22  Expert Mode   
                  23  Lightbars Toggle   
                  24  Editor Toggle   
                  25  Mailbox Toggle   
                  26  QWK Configuration   
                  27  * UNUSED *   
                  28  * UNUSED *   
                  29  * UNUSED *   
                  30  * UNUSED *   
      
        U.  Updated SysOp LOG Output.  Now shows a bit more info on   
            what the user was doing while online.  Such as what menus   
            were accessed (along with menu titles & numbers) and a time   
            stamp on when things were accessed.
