Jan 10, 1995 - Second Public Top Rank Boxing Release Version 1.6 

Version 2.0 Enhancements

Added enhanced Multi-Node Support

Some reported problems running on multiple nodes at once would create 
intermittent time outs. Redesigned code for these routines.

Enhanced User Control

Added Advise Boxer Feature, between rounds. Gives more control to the
player over how his/her Boxer behaves.

Added dual-bulletin options

Now you can pick the style of Bulletins that are right for your BBS.
Short or Long formats.

Enhanced Graphic aesthetics

Many improvements made in Graphic Screens etc, throughout the Game.
3D Effects included.

Added Post-Bout Press Commentary 

Thanks to former UltraSoft Beta Tester Tony Boles, for the following idea. 

Added Press Comments, which go into the Boxing History Log for display.
At the end of each Bout, your fighter will be approached for Comments to
the Press. He can either decline or comment as necessary. Some even tend
to use a little poetry, as appropriate, in cases like this.

Enhanced the Boxing History Display Menu option.

Added more attractive History displays for when a caller is checking past
Boxing Records..

Optimized Speed of various animated functions.

Many changes were made in the timing, of knockdown counts, elapsed time,
Boxing Speed, etc.

Added Textual visual aids. 

Thanks to Lynn August, we attempted to make Top Rank Boxing usable both as 
a Home Game and a Door for the visually impaired. Added more Text to the 
graphic screens which can be read by a Audio-Assist PC reading unit, for the 
visually impairment. Lynn is a Registered User who is also Sight impaired,
and had helpful suggestions for improving this part of the game. There is
considerably more 'Announcer' activity now and crowd participation.

Referee Movement

Included some additional Animation for the referee for the sake of realism.

-15 January 1995

The previous version was a totally new rewrite, and there were a few bugs
and some good suggestions reported back to us. So several fixes and updates
were introduced for v2.1. All known problems are resolved to date.

The former BOXERS.DAT was modified in format. That file is no longer 
compatible with this game. Please install using the new PLAYERS.DAT File
included in this archive. While we recommend starting again, if existing 
users insist on retaining their records, you may use PLAYEDIT.EXE to adjust 
Wins, Losses, Draws, and money accordingly. PLAYEDIT.EXE is included with 
all new registered packages and is available for Registered Sysops, on the 
UltraSoft Support BBS, or by special order from UltraSoft for a the nominal 
Shipping, and handling fee of $6.00 to cover diskette, mailer and postage.

NOTE: Some have mistaken the $6.00 above for the initial Registration Fee. 
Not the case. For registration, please see the enclosed ORDER.FRM File.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also please note the inclusion, by request, of a TRBOXING.FAQ File which
contains many common Sysop inquiries we have received about the game, over
the course of its public circulation at various release levels.
