     --------------------------------------------------------------
     This document contains information about the changes that were
     made to the Full Screen Login program in time. From version to
     version there have been small bug fixes, textual changes,
     functional enhancements as well as documentation enhancements.

     Version 1.0                                         March 1993
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     After beta testing several months with a group of seven
     volunteering supervisors and their users this version was
     released in the first week of march 1993 on a Dutch BBS.

     From version 1.0 to 1.1                             April 1993
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     The detection of monochrome displays connected to a VGA
     adapter has been improved. There have been some cases of
     'grey', almost unreadable screens on some types of machines.

     The user interaction has been enhanced by using an Accept
     button field in the Login Data and the Password Expired forms.
     This makes it more intuitive that the form as a whole must be
     acknowledged.

     A RRS (Registration Reminder Screen) has been added. This
     small window will contain the name of the company and/or
     department for registered users.

     An installation batch file has been added. Not that
     installation has been difficult, but this will save some time
     and make an eventual update easier to do.

     The fslogin.com file has been optimized. So it's even smaller
     then it was before. There are however no functional
     differences between fslogin.com (1.0) and fslogin.com (1.1).
     The two versions can be mixed.

     The fslogin.ovl has been optimized as well. Despite the added
     code for the accept button it is about 10 kb smaller.

     From 1.1 to 1.2                                       May 1993
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     This version comes in two languages now, English and Dutch.
     Choosing a language is a matter of installing the right
     support files. The INSTALL.BAT file has been changed to do
     this.

     The documentation and help file have been changed to reflect
     the membership of the Association of Shareware Professionals
     (ASP).

     The keyboard buffer is cleared at the very beginning of the
     program, thus preventing some 'stuff' to go into the form
     unexpectedly.

     A bug has been resolved regarding the setting of the SYS:LOGIN
     directory to the first network drive. This could occur when
     the first network drive was not mapped to the default server
     but to another (attached) server.

     The Alt_F10 key has been disabled. The Alt-F10 is a standard
     C-Worthy function to exit a program, but there is no way I
     could assign an errorlevel to it.

     From 1.2 to 1.2a                                     June 1993
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     A new palette has been defined for monochrome VGA displays. It
     now looks as it should be.

     Support for the Novell Security fase 1 enhancement has been
     added.

     From 1.2a to 1.2b                                    July 1993
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     The cursor is always visible in the input fields now, and the
     cursor moves when typing in a password field, indicating that
     something is happening.

     The highlight (and cursor) is positioned in the password field
     instead of the Accept field, when leaving the Password Expired
     form with escape.

     The file fslogin.cwa is closed as soon as possible. In
     previous versions an update of FSLOGIN could run incomplete,
     because 'someone' had fslogin active and fslogin.cwa was still
     opened.

     From 1.2b to 1.2c                                  August 1993
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     The keyboard buffer clear has been moved from fslogin.com to
     fslogin.ovl. This ensures compatibility with the NetWare
     Access Server login method.

     Several options are offered in the file fslogin.ini. There are
     options for the screen dimmer, the escape key, the serverlist
     function and the number of days before a password expires. See
     the file fslogin.ini for more details.

     There are some command line parameters to override the global
     setting of the fslogin.ini file. These are:
     !ne    No Escape.
     !nd    No Dimmer.
     !ns    No Serverlist.

     From 1.2c to 1.2d                               September 1993
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     New options have been added to fslogin.ini regarding the
     presentation of the windows and the password fields (see
     fslogin.ini).

     The Accept button has gone.

     From 1.2d to 1.3                                 December 1993
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     NetWare Name Service support has been added. FSLOGIN now
     synchronizes new passwords in an NNS domain and provides a new
     Login Data form with Domain specific information.

     The new feature 'ServerGroup' can be used to define a logical
     group of servers. FSLOGIN will synchronize new passwords of
     users within this ServerGroup.

     When using the variable FS_SRV=NONE there will be no default
     in the Server field.

     The ServerList function was enhanced. A custom list of servers
     can be specified.

     From 1.3 to 1.3a                                  January 1994
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     The environment variable FS_PRO was added. The default profile
     for NNS usage can be customized this way on a per workstation
     basis.

     Some textual changes in the English text in the password
     synchronisation status. Same for the Dutch text.

     From 1.3a to 1.4                                    March 1994
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     Version 1.4 is compatible with the Dos Requester (VLM's or
     Virtual Loadable Modules). Novell has updated the Dos
     Requester several times since the first introduction. By the
     time of this writing VLM version 1.10 is the current one.

     Version 1.4 can be installed on a local hard disk in addition
     to installation on a file server. In general this should not
     be done, because it creates a maintenance problem. However,
     there are situations where installation on a local disk is
     preferred. For example when a workstation is connected to a
     LAN through a wide area link, program loading from a server is
     considerably slower compared to LAN speed.

     Up until version 1.3a the keyboard was always cleared when
     started. This can be turned off or on now using the
     fslogin.ini statement KBC=0 or KBC=1.

     Up until version 1.3a the current account was not logged out
     when FSLOGIN was started. In other words when the user did not
     actually login but pressed the escape key, he was back exactly
     where he was. Immediate Logout can be turned on using the
     fslogin.ini statement LWS=1.

     From 1.4 to 1.4a                                    March 1994
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     A bug fix has been applied for the command line parameters to
     work.

     A bug fix has been applied for VLM support. In certain
     situations in a multi-server environment fslogin.com was not
     able to load it's overlays.

     German language support has been added.

     All ASCII documentation files except PACKING.LST have the
     extension .TXT now.

     From 1.4a to 1.41                                     May 1994
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     Yet another bug fix related to VLMs in a multi server
     environment fixed.

     A lowercase bug in combination with 'Psp=0' for the password
     fields was fixed.

     The ini file (fslogin.ini) is always read from the server,
     designated by the environment variable FS_SRV.

     The F7 key (supervisor) has been enhanced. It can be turned
     off. It can contain another name or it can contain a list of
     (often used) names. See fslogin.ini, the 'Ulist=' keyword.

     The NNS Profile field can be set to automatically synchronise
     with the name in the Server field. See fslogin.ini, the 'Pro='
     keyword.

     There is a prompted Escape from the program now. See
     fslogin.ini, the 'Esc=' keyword.

     The Severfield can be restricted to view only. The user can
     change the server name, but only from the (restricted) list
     which comes with the F5 key. See fslogin.ini, the 'Slist='
     keyword.

     From 1.41 to 1.42                                  August 1994
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     An User eXlude list feature has been added. See also
     fslogin.ini.

     The result of password synchronisation in an NNS domain or
     Server Group can be supressed with the PSS statement in
     fslogin.ini.

     Two dimmer bugs fixed. One deals with PC's with power saving
     features and the other with possible hangups around midnight.

     The field edit has been changed. When a user starts typing at
     the beginning of a field that has a value, the remainder of
     the value is cleared.

     From 1.42 to 1.50                                 October 1994
     --------------------------------------------------------------
     Extra security features for use on dialin servers have been
     added. These features are diMax, diTim, diAct in fslogin.ini
     and the corresponding !di command line parameter. See also the
     readme.txt.

     French language support has been added.
