Added a YES/NO option to display to the Audit Trail or not, I got a request for this command because people where using this in a popular Mud game to regenerate monsters to drop items. He used it over 1000 times in an hour and got alot of items for his members on his bbs system. Although it is possible to do this, you have to be very careful. Some games save when people exit and if for some reason the date is a few days ahead and it saves there character, in like a space game, They will not be able to enter and it will say there ship was destroyed. Just have to watch your users in other modules basically if you are using this module for that purpose. That I know of all Muds save differently so you should be ok changing time or date inside these. 2. Added a new CNF option for a sysop to decide what to make the lead characters (switch) for time changes. Set to -ct but up to you now. 3. Added a new CNF option for a sysop to decide what to make the lead characters (switch) for date changes. Set to -cd but up to you now. 4. Added a new CNF option for a sysop to decide what to make the lead characters (switch) for time & date to be displayed. Set to -tnd but you can change it, alot of global packages use =td or -td do not make them the same as those if you are running one that displays the time and date, if you do you will either have a catastro or a GP. As of now this is the only module I know that uses -tnd. 5. After taking over EzSoft's Line of modules, if you were running EzSoft Clock you need to email me directly, contact info is above. You will receive a free copy of the Time and Date Changer with proof of owner ship. Basically a version number and an actcode will tell me if you owned it or not. 6. Modified the -tnd command greatly, also changed from 2 globals to 1 to show the time and date. 7. Other misc. changes to colors. 8. Made the Time and Date Changer 3.0 Dos compatible. v1.35 08/23/97 1. Added a write to the audit trail whenever the Time or Date is changed from within the menu or with the global commands. 2. Added a new CNF option to set for people that you want to be able to change the system time and date globally. 3. Added 2 more globals to allow a sysop or a person that has the appropriate key to change the system time or system date within any module. To prevent cheating in some modules, I recommend making this key different than the one you set to go into the module. The reason is some of the Muds are based on time and\or dates for specific items and monsters to regenerate. An Op can cheat very easy making monsters regenerate within seconds instead of their appropriate times. It also might be possible to disable this global from the other modules CNF options by putting it in as one of the globals not to allow. 4. Seperated the versions, now each individual platform has a seperate version. In preparation of implementing a C/S side and possibly a HTML side. 5. Changed the price to $35.00 from $19.95 because of the addition of global commands that allow you to change the system time and date globally. All previous owners get this version at no extra cost. 6. A few minor color and menu changes. v1.30 05/30/97 1. Changed the Logon Message to allow to be switched from CNF 4 2. A few minor color adjustments. v1.25 05/09/97 1. Fixed a problem with Nonstop, Continue, Exit on some menu screens. 2. A few minor color adjustments. v1.2 04/16/97 1. Corrected the menu prompt. 2. Changed the activation code generator, so with this version you will need a New activation code for this version. 3. A few minor color changes. v1.1 04/12/97 1. Added global time and date command, so sysops could check the time and date of there system after correcting. 2. Added key in CNF 3 so sysop could allow certain users to also change the time and date. 3. Colorized the menu's and updated the main menu, to make more appealing to the eyes. 4. Other misc. bug fixes. v1.0 04/02/97 1. Saw the need for a time and date changing program so that the sysops could change the time and date of there system. Without the need to bring down there BBS. Such as Daylight saving time, and Leap year, or if your system runs a little slow or fast. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chinese Zodiac v1.25 Newest Version $25.00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.25 09/23/97 1. Ported to WG 3.0 Dos. 2. Ported to WG 3.0 NT. v1.25 08/23/97 1. Fixed a problem in which on some BBS systems the module was not displaying correctly or not at all.

Changed the way in which the module operates, it should not eat up memory now. 3. Changed some menus around to prepare for the major overhaul of this module. 4.
