      Text files edit (Formerly G) is now T.
      Init Modem (Formerly +) is now I.

      Term.bat run (Formerly T) is now GONE. (under redundant, see redundant)
      Edit file (Formerly N) is now GONE.  Shell to dos already!

147) A new AC requirement:  Chat hours override.   A user with this ACS
string requirements can page the sysop at any hour of the day, regardless
of the chat settings.

148) an INTERNAL FULL SCREEN EDITOR: AT LAST!   No more QuickEd, no
more crappy line editor!

149) Fixed Ansi screw ups locally in a few places.

150) Removed the system flag for fseditor. What's the point; it's internal?!

151) Added many error detection routines INCLUDING a key routine to detect
fatal system errors in the message bases BEFORE they happen; avoid them,
and delete the offending message!  (although since the new message routines
are totally superior, the errors are much less likely to happen anyway heheh)

152) File bases are now numbered like message bases, i.e. 1-xx instead of
0-xx.

153) File newscan pointer date no longer considers a return an illegal
date, and forces a formatted date input.

154) Did away with the unused permanent index numbers.

155) A new users file format has been used; macros and zscan records
have been incorporated into the new users file format for speed.
ZSCAN.DAT and MACRO.LST can be deleted.

156) Instead of resetting the user's PER DAY variables and time limits
at midnight AND the first time they logon each day; it is now done for
each user individually at their first logon, and the system "event" is
much quicker.

157) Macros have been shortened to 160 characters from 240.

158) The USER.LOG file is no longer created.  LASTON.DAT is used for
all previous caller records.   A new cmdkey set, OL, will display
LASTON.DAT in the same format USER.LOG was formerely displayed in.

159) You can now change the system caller number in the "D" System Variables
section of system configuration.

160)  Mini-Dos is now a DOS Emulator.

161) The following command line options are functional:

     -Bxxxx   Connection at baud xxxx
     -EExxx   Exit with errorlevel xxx after an error
     -ENxxx   Exit normally with errorlevel xxx
     -L       Local i/o only
     -P       Pack message bases only
     -S       Sort files only
     -Q       Quit after done (user logs off)
     -Xxxxx   External event start time in minutes.
     -Nx      Load up as node x

162) The fancy loading screen has been nuked for speed's sake.

163) The animation feature has been nuked.  It might return in some
new form if I think of something interesting enough. ;-)

164) The "No Post/Call Ratio" flag now works.

165) SHIFT-F6 will now toggle the conference system on or off, for
ease of use.

166) The @# (pause on screen OFF) mci code will now RESTORE the user's
previous pause on screen setting.

167) You now have to press ENTER at the end of formatted input.

168) RENEGADE.DAT has been totally rewritten in format.

169) MODEM.DAT is no longer used; it's been incorporated into the
new RENEGADE.DAT.

170) Added an Archive path and protocol path.  These are now used when
calling any archiver or protocol for security purposes.

171) You can now DEFINE the minimum baud rate to log on or download
files, as well as restrictive hours for this defined baud rate.

172) There is also an optional new system password to override the minimum
baud rate logon hours.

173) A default file listing type can be specified in System Variables.

174) Major new feature!   You can now define a MAXIMUM number of DOWNLOADED
files in one day AND a MAXIMUM number of DOWNLOADED kbytes in one day
for each security level.  They are options 6 and 7 from the System
Configuration menu, respectively.
