Beta testing information.

You don't have to be an official beta tester to use it.  If you want to be
one, just let me know.  That way I can send you the newest version as it
comes out.  If you aren't local to the 719 areacode, you will need to get
the newest version by polling my system, FTP or UUENCODED internet email.

.oO Known imperfections in this version Oo.
 Events are working a little strange
 LordNet, TIC, etc packets don't check for exact characters (ie Hex)
 Should have problems in text modes other than 80x25
 Lite version has a disappearing cursor problem

  *PLEASE*, if you use LordNet, an unlisted InterBBS game or a TIC proccessor
   other than Allfix/Seal send me the filename of the packet/TIC they use.

  color schemes aren't my speciality, if you could help me out that'd be
    great.  =)

.oO What's New Oo.
key
 n note
 + feature added
 b bug fix
 c change
 r removed

version v0.26b April 27, 1996
SEMA.PP and CONFIG.PP changed (run pp25to26.exe from thier directory)
 c what's new in new format (this one)
 + 12:8pm now shows up as 12:08pm
 + EXMAPLES.ARJ included, batch file examples for use with Psych0Phore
 b major problems with creating new semaphore files (???).  Now soley uses
    PP enviroment variable for system directory (no longer in CONFIG.PP).
 b wrong variable used in sleep definition in config
 + config object, saves ~1k memory in regular executable
 b won't add a slash to empty pathnames (ie '' = '\')
 c tinkering done for upcoming OS/2 port (think i broke something?? doh!)
 c cosmetic (program and documentation)
 + if there is less than 10megs (is this a good size?) available on current
    drive, it will be displayed red.
 b rt 103 during shutdown if any shell was ran
 + -? commandline shows availabile paramaters (none lite version only), above
    is the buetiful (yah right) Psych0Phore logo that's been there yet not
    very visable because it's only displayed for such a short time.  So
    if you wanna see it run "PP /?".
 c in all versions, max semaphores and events decreased by 2
 b ??, handles shells differntly, possibly fixed RT#201 bug
 b bbs and mailer directory in config changed wrong variable
 + error of address is put into ERROR.LOG and if version is Lite
 b RT#201 when available drivespace is greater than 255 meg
 + logs config mode entrance
 c will not show wait for event screen in /E check and exit mode
 b event delete flag read wrong when saving events
 b event inactive flag read wrong when checking events
 b runtime error 201 (or so) when comming back from semaphore scan,
    after a semaphore is found (now) : it will exit and next time
    there is a scan scheduled it will scan again
 b releases semaphore/event data before loading dos shell
 b '' no longer recognized as a valid filename
 c PPxxxx.ARJ archive file comment with contact info
 + Psych0Phore should only allocate enough heap memory for the maximum
    amount it can use (semaphores + events)
 b new string input procedure, should clear up problem where strings
    were always thier maximum length.
   Getstring adapted from Jeremy Gaither (1:128/8015, The Visionary)
 c 'OS/2' -> 'OS/2 VDM', 'DV' -> 'DESQview'
 + info on wait for event now shown in cyan.
 r DDPLUS and RipScript credits, this program doesn't use those =)
 + UUencoded updates and announcements of releases available via
     Internet email (write me at ziem@rmii.com).

.oO New since v0.231b Oo.
No upgraded needed.
 In addition to mail packets, TIC and InterBBS file types added.  Advantage
   is PP will make sure it's what it is (ie afcbdef.zip could be found as
   a BRE packet before using ???b*.*, but now Psych0Phore checks to see
   if the characters are correct.)

 New "Lite" executable.  Uses approx. 15k less memory, does not include
   things such as color or the configuration.
 Instead of looking for "anyfile", now searches for "archives".  Less chance
   of finding a file that shouldn't be found.
 Lots of documentation work.

.oO New since v0.23b Oo.
No upgrade needed.
 Fixed events.  Now hopefully run exactly how I want them too - If an event
   was scheduled for earlier today and wasn't ran for some reason it will
   run later that day when PP is ready for it.

.oO New since v0.22b Oo.
Upgrade utility included.  Run from PP's directory.
 Half-baked Renegade multinode interface (who's online)
 Changes directory before and after exiting PP to PP's system directory.
 Releases memory correctly when running non-errorlevel programs

.oO New since v0.21b Oo.
No upgrade needed
 New configuration menu with lightbar selection.  Playing with this
    user interface.
 Optimized time slices for DOS, Windows, and OS/2
 The rest I forgot =)
