!PozChat/Docs/Versions
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Versions (Dates in brackets are dates of release) ======== STARTED CODING 29/3/1996 v0.80 (12/4/1996) ===== First release version. v0.81 (15/4/1996) ===== Fixed command bug - .group had the same effect as .groupsausage a problem with my caseless strcmp() function. I made this require a length match and everything seems to work fine now :*) Thanks to Gareth '7' Long for pointing this out. Fixed the feature which allowed two users of the same name on at once. That is now not possible. Thanks to David 'Pfert' Good for pointing this one out. I reduced the WimpSlot loads as I had it at 200k when I released v0.80. What must people have thought about my memory efficiency? (Is there anyway of seeing how much memory your program needs?) I've created a nice preferences window, so you can set the various port numbers there. I've added a .credits command, a .setprivs command, and an .info command. I've added an option in the preferences window which will beep when a user successfully logs on. v0.82 (18/4/1996) ===== Changed parser function slightly '::' is equal to ';' Broadcasting from the 'Talker Control' window now works. .who now tells you how many people are connected. .setprivs tells you if a certain person isnt connected. I also fixed an error which prevented it from working! I've put a syntax checker in the command parser. R'emoting nothing, i.e. '<Poz' generates an error. Program generated string should now start with '*** ' v0.82b (18/4/1996) ====== Fixes MAJOR memory problem. Source code tidied up slightly. Can I be bothered to upload it? Nah, its late. Onwards to... v0.83 (18/4/1996) ===== Added .time command v0.84beta1 (23/4/1996) (beta tested by David Good) ========== Parser now looks at first character of line instead of the first character of the first word. .grouptell fixed Disconnect message changed. .wake command added. You can now change privs from the user control window. Added accounts window. Carriage returns are added to ends of lines of text files sent to a user. Major change: You no longer have to be in Line Edit mode to use this talker, and pasting is now possible. I've set it so only 1 line of text is processed per pass of the Wimp_Poll looop. This is done so as not to slow down the host machine too much. v0.84beta2 (24/4/1996) (beta tested by David Good) ========== A small bug was discovered where random lines of text were occasionally displayed, from unknown users. It looked obscure but was dead simple to fix. .restart command added. Fixed (another) pasting bug. Entering ": boings" used to print something like "Poz boings" Now it prints "Poz boings" [Talker development postponed for exams] [Restarted (20/6/1996)] v0.84beta3 (23/6/1996) ========== Major change: Account management via accounts window has now been implemented. The word "Privilege" is now spelt correctly! Technical note: The command parser processes the first four words entered. These words werent being clipped correctly (to a 16 byte limit). This has now been fixed. v0.84beta4 ========== Group changing messages have been fixed to be sent to the appropriate parties. You are now told if you try to kick of a non-existant user. Users can now change their passwords online. Wake command fixed. Combined functionality of 'New Account' and 'Update Account' buttons. If an account doesnt exist its new, and if it does exist its updated. Account finding button added. Users can now have a banned flag set in their accounts. Breakthrough with internal sockets library achieved. v0.85 (27/6/96) ===== VT100 and Beep flags added to accounts. v0.85a (28/6/96) ====== Added Carriage Return (cr) flag. Fixed a few bugs from the recent major overhaul. Fixed bugs found by Pfert and Jogu. v0.85b beta (28/6/96) ====== '%' characters caused the talker to crash. This is now fixed. Added guest account flags to the options window. v0.85b (28/6/96) ====== When changing back to group Public with '.group', the group was not informed. This is now fixed. Fixed a few emote'ing and r'emote'ing problems. Added logging to the talker. At the moment only the talker starting and finishing are logged. v0.85c (29/6/96) ====== Fixed user window privilege setting. .gag and .ungag commands added. v0.86 (31/7/96) ===== Word wrap added Echo added as an option, for non-echoing terminals A 'Docs' directory is created which now contains all documentation. Documentation changed round, and 'ToDo' and 'Bugs' files are created. Templates changed to be more aesthetically pleasing. If a window is already open, when requested to open it is brought to the front. Talker starts if a stack is present. 'Talker up' menu option removed. Added the 'ignore' character. If user 'Poz' enters: `.quit then the text: Poz :.quit will appear on the screen Kick command fixed .groups command added You can no longer wake yourself :) v0.87 (10/8/96) ===== .warn, .lock, .unlock, .invite, .uninvite, .invites, .gmaster, .evict and .join commands added Removed the completely inappropriate 'Release' file from the 'Docs' directory, dunno how it got there! (Thanks to Jogu for that one) When the Accounts window is opened the last account viewed (or the first one) is loaded into it. Lots of internal restructuring to try and optimise memory use and memory fragmentation. Added maximum account/guest connections in 'Preferences' window. !PozChat can now load into a 96k wimpslot. v0.90 (30/9/96) ===== .spy, .unspy, .spying commands added. .info command renamed .examine .talker command renamed .stats Now removes invites when user disconnects. Finished an unfinished sentance in the ToDo file :) In the 'Instruct' file I referred to a user as 'him'. It was a mistake, honest! .stats information extended .name command changed to allow changes of case to a users name. Talker window changed. Eventually it will have information which is updated regularly. PozChat port to Unix started 31/8/96. This should increase the user base. PozChat will now be developed on both the Acorn and Sun version V unix platforms simultaneously. .tset and .tunset commands added. These change the values of some of the options in the prefernces window. This command will also lock the talker from connections. Format of accounts changed. Each account now occupies a seperate file. This is to allow fields of variable width to be included, such as an 'Interests' field. Account information extended significantly. I'm wondering how to get round the 76 file limit in RISC-OS. Using the image filing system has been suggested. .setinfo command added. Guest users can now use the .set and .unset commands. .ignore and .unignore commands added .info command re-added, this time to display account information of a user. If a help file with the same name as a commanded is created, then it will be displayed in preference to the preset help text. .comment, .comments, .tlock and .tunlock commands added. added. .evict command changed to allow group masters to evict. Allowed logging of errors. Apparently the .set command didnt work properly in v0.87. This now seems to work. Polished up a few things. Beta's sent to Jogu, Seven and Homer (22/9/96) Fixed a few things suggested by Jogu. Added number of users logged in to the iconbar icon. (Thanks to Jogu and Juggler for suggesting that one) Passwords are encrypted in the accounts files using a simple encryption algorithm. .gname command added. Changed the login procedure. New beta sent to Jogu (25/9/96) Documentation improved. New beta sent to Fluffy (28/9/96) v0.90a (1/10/96) ====== Problem with .invis/.vis commands fixed Stopped logger outputting to screen v0.90b (9/10/96) ====== Fixed a silly error concerning the .name command. (Thanks Homer :) v0.90c (17/12/96) ====== Fixed the .examine command If a user with an account was renamed, then that user could log in again. This is now fixed.
