:: HISTORY.DOC - Murder Motel ::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

As you probably know, the original version & concept of Murder Motel
came from Sean D. Wagle.  His Commodore BBS door provided the basis
for this IBM program, and I'm sure he'd be proud of the improvements,
additions, and enjoyment, the IBM - PCBoard (R) version brings.

Since its first release, the game has been taylored quite a bit, and
differs more than I would have expected.  I will continue to improve
the game, and its my intention to serve those who use it.  

01-31-2004......Murder Motel version 4.7
                Murder Motel is now FREEWARE!

05-29-1995......Murder Motel version 4.6
                Corrected the problem of the screen not scrolling poperly on
                Windows & RIP based term programs. On entering a room the 
                screen will clear and position you at the middle of the screen.

04-23-1995......Murder Motel version 4.5
                Recompiled door with new library routines

11-28-1994......Murder Motel version 4.4
                If no squeal file existed the program would generate
                an error message. It will now notify the user that there
                are no squeals.
                By request I added an ADOPT-A-DOOR to the program.
                If the door is registered and there is a file called
                ADOPT.DAT and ADOPTG.DAT it will be displayed. This can be
                used to beg for a registration donation or acknowledge
                a user that donated the money to register the door.
                Use any ANSI editor to create the files, but limit them
                to 16 lines.

08-23-1994 .... Murder Motel version 4.3
                Had a report that the Obituaries and Most Wanted List
                sometimes just scrolled off the screen. I think it is
                corrected now, at least it didn't happen here!

07-19-1993      Murder Motel version 4.2
                Recompiled with newer Fossil driver routines

07-05-1993 .... Murder Motel version 4.1
                Forgot to open some files as Shared.
                Added a test for /NA command line option to force
                ansi on. Some term packages are not responding to the
                test for ANSI so this will force it on.
                Recompiled DOOR with routines that now support
                Fossil drivers

04-18-1993 .... Murder Motel version 4.0 BETA
                Why release a BETA version? I have taken over maintaining
                the source code and making it compatable with the newer
                buad rates.
