Hey, glad you download this file!

Ok, now let's get on with this report!

============================================================================
Freejack's Software is now upgrading many programs that was orginally 
written for TriBBS 5.11. Also, at the same time, I have decided to convert
from MicroSoft PDS v7.1 programming language to the newer PowerBasic v3.2.
This will allow me to bring more powerful programs with greater speed to the 
TriBBS Sysop community. Also, this new programming language has many Turbo
Pascal, and 'C' language type routines built in allowing me to do alot more 
than the old worn out PDS Extended Basic from MicroSoft. With Mark Goodwin
looking to have a TriBBS Windows 95 version in the future, I want to be 
there along with him as this PowerBasic is Windows 3.11 & Windows 95 ready!

============================================================================
If any of you Sysops have ideas for the New TriBBS 10.x and can see a real
need for a program to help out.. Then give me a call and let's talk it over
I am always interested in hearing ideas from the TriBBS Sysop community.

============================================================================
General capatiblity for the New TriBBS 10.x.

Ok folks, basically, any current 3rd party TriBBS program that only read in 
Door Data files, such as : Door.sys, TriBBS.sys, PCBoard.sys...etc.. and any 
programs that are just reading in information from the TriBBS Callers.log 
will still work with the new TriBBS 10.x providing that they do not also read 
in any other of TriBBSes internal files, like Users.dat, Farea.dat, Mconf.dat.
etc....

Freejack's Software programs that will carry on working with the New TriBBS
10.x are as follows:

BBS Statistics Screen Generator
Hottest Files Trakker Screen Generator
Hottest Doors Trakker Screen Generator
Security Check! Logon Door program.

============================================================================
What will NOT work with the New TriBBS 10.x format and is currently being
upgraded now and will released in the near future are:

Directory Lister: Currently know as Custom File Screen Generator or Dirlist
File Name: "DIRLSTnn.ZIP" Where 'nn' is the version number


Message Lister  : Currently know as Custom Message Screen Generator or 
                  Msglist. 
File Name: "MSGLSTnn.ZIP" Where 'nn' is the version number


TriSort - Sorts Users Records, File Areas, & Message Conference
File Name: "TSORTnn.ZIP" Where 'nn' is the version number


SubRem - A subscription reminder program for remindering users that there
         subscription accounts will run out soon.
File Name: "SUBREMnn.ZIP" Where 'nn' is is the version number


TriCD - Will install Night Owl CDROM Disks into TriBBS's File Areas.

                           Special Note!
         
      TriCD20.ZIP has been release for TriBBS 5.11 to the Night
      Owl Disk makers for Night Owl's CDROM Disk Vol. 18. This will 
      be the last release for TriBBS v5.11. 
      
      Also, TriCD30.ZIP has been release as well to the Night Owl 
      makers for the New TriBBS 10.x & TriBBS PRO versions. This
      version of TriCD also supports Night Owl CDROM Disk Vol. 18 &
      and now support Group File Area deletions making it easier
      to uninstall any CDROM Disk that is currently in your File
      Areas Database. I will put both of these programs on my system
      and The Lobster Buoy for download the 3rd week of October.

============================================================================
Programs that Freejack's Software will no longer support or update!

!USERS - A program that will print 4 users records to a page.
File Name: "!USERS.ZIP"

TriReport - A program that works muck like TriMan without the editing.
File Names: "TRIRPT10.ZIP" & "TRIRPV10.ZIP"

============================================================================
New Program!

I have written a new door program for TriBBS 10.x & TriBBS PRO that can
be run in your logon.bat & fastlog.bat to prompt callers to update their
User Records making it easy for both Sysop & Caller to bring their Records
up-to-date for the New TriBBS Style User Records which now supports, Street
Address, Zip Code, and Country.

Best of all, it is FREE, to all of you Sysops that have been supporting
Freejack's Software over the years!

This program will be release to my system and The Lobster Bouy as of today,
10/13/95.    File Name: "UPDATE10.ZIP"

============================================================================
Well I hope the conversion process goes well for all of you guys & gals
waiting to upgrade to the New TriBBS 10.x. According to Mr. Goodwin, the
first Beta will be release sometime on Monday, 10/16/95. As usaual, I am here
for any one having problems or needing help & answering questions. I have
been a TriBBS Support Board since TriBBS v2.0. And I am one of the Alpha 
testers for Mr. Goodwin.

I expect a lot of calls and messages for support as I have in the past, so 
lets keep your questions to TriBBS only please during this converstion period.
I will only support TriBBS, & my 3rd party programs only during this time.

============================================================================


  Well that's all I got to say for now, so later ya'll!
