110) The bug where a hangup while quoting would crash the system has
been removed.

112) The chat request reason is now put in the chat dump files.

113) New errorlevels:

     0 -  Everything ok
     1 -  Critical Error
     2 -  New echomail entered (run echomail scanner)

114) Z Voting door has totally replaced the internal voting
routines!    There is now a REAL VOTING EDITOR, like the message/file
base editors!   Users can add topics if they meet a newly defined
ACS string!   Users can add choices to the topics!   Each topic can
have it's own ACS string as well as another ACS string to decide if
users can add to it!    Vote Tracker will be here soon!

115) System passwords can now be set to null strings.  Before you
couldn't get rid of them.

116) Added the vote tracker.  You can now track individual user's votes
through ALL voting topics (sysops are given access to all topics regardless
of acs settings-for now).  You can also toggle a "User list" flag that when
on will display all the users selecting each choice when viewing the results.

117) When a user is logging on, and the 4 digits are required, his phone
number will now pop up on the command line just like his password.

118) Sysop logs are now closed between writes; this will prevent ANY
data loss under almost any condition; plus it will prevent sysop logs
from being garbled when Renegade is run under dual tasks.

119) The Voting Results WFC command has been nuked.  The Init votes
is now Voting Editor (V).  The WFCMENU.ANS has been updated accordingly.

120) The *V (output votes.txt) command is gone.

121) Finally removed the "bleed through" from prompts with background
colors

122) The "Display Ansi" string is now "[Anonymous]" string displayed
as a user's name when they post anonymous.

123) The *I (vote init) cmdkeys are now *V for Vote Editor.  Makes
sense, eh?

124) When loading with a caller (the -Bxxx parameter), things will
now be faster because the WFC screen will not be generated and all.

125) The "Guest line" string is now the string prompting a user
to "Continue, Read msgs, Quit? " when scanning messages.

126) The "Thanks for voting" string is now the prompt for protocol
selection ("Protocol (?=List) : ")


127) Renegade now has a complete conferencing system. You've got
conferences @-Z, with @ being the undeletable default.  Each can have it's
own ACS and has it's own name. There's a new conference editor (cmdkeys:*R)
available from the WFCMENU as $.   The cmdkeys OR will allow you to make a
JOIN conference command, and two new MCI codes @I and @J will show you
the current conference tag and current conference name, respectively.
The previously unused Cx ACS code now works, where X is a conference
tag.  It's all been tested, and I see no bugs...

128) The internal editor now supports up to 200 lines.

129) Removed the "feature" <snicker> that caused it to hang up on
the next caller after a critical error.

130) Message quoting in the internal editor is now pulled up from RAM
instead of having the quotes stored on disk and a file opened and
read every time you want to quote some lines.

131) The entire message base format has been completely rewritten as were
each and every message routine in Renegade.   The new format is much quicker
in all message functions, especially posting, since it no longer writes
ridiculous temporary files to disk!

132) Renemail, the Telemail replacement is completely functional.  So far
it's working fairly bug free but testing will be limited.

133) Some new steps toward peaceful multinode coexistance have been taken,
in the form of random temporary file names to avoid two tasks using the
same temporary files.  A minor but welcome step in the right direction.

134) The user list function is now available as the command keys OU. It
will list ALL users as opposed to the MU command which will list users
with access to the current message base.   Also changed is that it will
display the user's CITY/STATE instead of Computer type.

135) The shelling functions were rewritten; two large routines were
combined into one, and all routines now use randomized batch file
names for multi node compatibility *AND* security. (the chances of
someone uploading one of the random file names is 1 in 10,000 or so.

136) There are once again separate .EXE and .OVR files.

137) The "Hook Modification":  Compressed message/file base tables
are now recalculated after changing conferences or validating a
user with the ALT-V command.

138) Added Ctrl-F2.  Ctrl-F2 will do a screen dump to a file name
of your choice!  The Adam-Poopy Modification.

139) The capitalization routine will properly capitalize strings with
apostrophes in them.

140) Renegade will now refuse to run without a fossil driver.

141) When editing a message base or file base, the information can now
be ABORTED. Very nice for remote sysops.  Fixed a number of other aborting
problems in various places.

142) BBS.EXE and BBS.OVR are now RENEGADE.EXE and RENEGADE.OVR

143) Some changes in the loading of data files should improve the
bbs loading speed noticeably.

144) Renegade will automatically repair descrepencies between the
user list and the user index.  NAMEFIX is no longer needed.
