382)  Renegade now supports 50 files in both the batch upload and
      download queues (up from 20 each).

383)  Renegade now supports 100 menu commands per menu (up from 50).

384)  Renegade is now being compiled with a fair amount of debug code
      in it in preparation for a final release.  This has significantly
      increased the size of the EXE and OVR files and slowed the program.

385)  /U(ploading) a message now works inside the standard message
      editor.

386)  Renegade will now stop flagging wildcards when the batch queue
      is full.

387)  When using bidirectional protocols, Renegade should now display
      the correct transfer time and rates for the uploads.

388)  The Environment command will now be passed by Renegade to DOS
      for protocols.

389)  The node number can now be used in protocols with %N.  %N
      plus the environment strings can now setup both separate log
      files and separate download list files for each node for
      better operation.

390)  Transfer sizes and rates are now logged.

391)  VOTING.xxx will now optionally be displayed in place of <-  NUKED
      the normal voting booth menu.                           <-  NUKED

392)  Renegade now checks for duplicate REP packet uploads.

393)  When exiting chat and going back into the full screen editor,
      the screen is now redrawn.

394)  Batch downloading now handles aborts properly.  This bug is
      special thanks to Borland.

395)  OP 27 is now "Configure QWK system" instead of simply "select
      default archive type".  The user can select if they want a
      new file listing generated and if they want their own messages
      (from them) added to a qwk packet.

396)  .MSG files are now .ASC files.  What is a .MSG file anyway? :)
      (yes folks, this means you need to type REN *.MSG *.ASC - I
      can hardly wait for the "bug" reports... or people asking
      where they can get that "REN" program).

397)  Chat dumps and trap files are now .LOG instead of .MSG.

398)  Renegade can optionally (System Variables, option G, set to any
      positive value) ask for a user to verify their date of birth
      on every X logins.  If a user fails, he is forced to send mail
      to the sysop explaining why he failed.

399)  Renegade will now display .AVT files to callers with Avatar.
      For those unfamiliar, Avatar works much like ansi, only
      MUCH faster with smaller command strings and RLE data
      compression!  Renegade now has an internal Avatar driver
      in addition to its internal ANSI driver.  You can convert
      your .ANS files to .AVT for your avatar users using one
      of many conversion programs available.

400)  MSGLIST and FILELIST optional files were removed, being deemed
      redundant.  Using a simple -F command offers far better control
      for area lists that could vary as your users access does.

401)  Renegade will now ask before allowing user's with chat hour
      override ACS to page the sysop.  It will also display CHATOVR.xxx
      when the sysop is not available BUT the user CAN override and
      page anyway.

402)  Renegade multinode now has "Stealth" login mode.  When someone
      logs on meeting the ACS (Option W under ACS config), Renegade
      will ask them if they want to login under stealth mode. Under
      Stealth mode, NOBODY except a co-sysop will be able to tell that
      they are logged on that node.  Node listings will list the node
      as having no caller.  Forced "NS" (message to another node) will
      NOT be sent (User-entered NS messages still work).  If the user
      enters group chat, he can see everything going on, but nothing
      he types will be displayed to other callers, nor will his status
      be displayed to other callers.  Nothing to reveal his presence
      will occur, hence "stealth".

403)  New command keys NT will switch Stealth mode on and off.

404)  Avatar adjustment is gone.  I've never seen any software that
      needed it, and if any software DOES, it should be fixed.

405)  Renegade's message scanning function has been completely
      rewritten.  A user may scan for:
      A) Messages just to them.
      B) Search for a subject
      C) Search for an "author"
      D) Search for an "addressee"
      E) Search the ENTIRE message for text

      In addition, the user can select to scan ALL messages or just
      NEW messages, and whether to scan globally or just the current
      base.

406)  The / command in the full screen editor works more reliably, and
      ESC once again can be used to bring up the "Command" prompt.

407)  The "E" command while reading a message now brings up a
      message editing menu where the user can edit the to, from,
      subject, status flags, and the text of the message.

408)  User numbers are no longer displayed as part of TO/FROM information
      in a message header, or most anywhere else for that matter.

409)  "Who's on" node list format completely redone.

410)  New file area list format.

411)  New message area list format.

412)  When a user doesn't have enough time to download the full
      batch, Renegade will now put him in the batch editor instead
      of just saying "tough".

413)  Extracted messages now include a complete message header.

414)  In order to work better with people using -F commands to display
      message and file area listings, the MA command now accepts "N"
      as an option to simply prompt the user for the base to change
      to.

415)  When deleting an echomail or groupmail base, Renegade will now
      optionally remove the mail directory for that base.

416)  The full screen editor now displays "TO:" and "SUBJ:" info.

417)  Message bases can now have their private flag turned on,
      allowing users to post private messages in that base (i.e. not
      in email, but nobody else can read them).  This is most useful
      for private echomail, which the new Renemail supports.

      NOTE: You will MOST LIKELY need to go through your message bases
      and DISABLE the private flag. It defaults to ON in most cases!

418)  Events can now be set to only run on one node.

419)  Events "missed" toggle decides if an event runs if it's execution
      time is missed or not.

      NOTE: You'll have to delete EVENTS.DAT and redo your events.

420)  -S (write to log) now allows MCI codes.

421)  Users can now attach files to Email messages.  Sysops can attach
      files already online, or upload a new one.  User uploads are
      put in the new file attach directory, and deleted when the message
      is deleted.  SysOps are prompted whether they want the file deleted
      after it's received or not.  File attaching is done via /I in both
      editors.

422)  Renegade will only ask if you want to send netmail with your
      real name if Renegade is set to allow handles.

423)  Users can now change their votes if they match the new "change
      vote" ACS in the ACS config.

424)  Renemail has been revamped for speed, again.

425)  The voting section has been completely rewritten. The OV cmdkeys
      are GONE.  Nothing is hardcoded anymore; you will have to use
      cmdkeys to make your OWN voting menu.  The new cmdkeys are:

      V# - Vote on a topic number. If this is in your menu, the user
           can simply enter a number AT the menu prompt!
      VA - Add a topic
      VL - List topics
      VR - Results
      VT - Track a user  * recommended for sysop only *
      VU - Users voting on a topic  * ditto *
      VV - Vote on all available topics

426)  The conference system is turned off when the edit files command
      is used.

427)  The WFC screen has been redone once again.  This one's mod is
      based on a screen by Chris Woodward.

428)  When listing files, after the user Views, flags, etc a file...
      the file list will now redisplay the original screen when the
      user hits return in ALL situations: New scanning, searching,
      etc.

429)  There are now only two options when downloading a file for
      logging off; yes, or no.  If the user selects yes, when
      the transfer is completed, Renegade will count down from
      ten, then log the user off... giving them the option of aborting.

430)  I'm starting to work on the registration feature.  The old
      "anything but zero to register" doesn't work anymore.  Try
      to crack it.  Try to sector edit the message.  Try whatever,
      and let me know what happens.  Even if you DON'T succesfully
      hack it, I want to know what all you tried, and what happened.

431)  New ACS codes:  E@ where @ is:

      A - ANSI   - EA returns true if caller has ansi or avatar.
      V - AVATAR - EV returns true only if caller has avatar.
      N - None   - EN returns true if caller has no emulation

432)  Some extensive work has been done to force Renegade to give
      up massive amounts of CPU time when piddling at a prompt. The
      difference should be noticeable when using a CPU monitor (i.e.
      OS/2's).

433)  A new command line option -Mx has been added. This will make
      a qwk packet for user x, and exit immediately.  The QWK packet
      will be put in the directory specified in the QWK configuration.

434)  Quite a few cosmetic changes. The old "Boxes" have been replaced
      with a newer, more professional "box".  Suggestions are still
      welcome.

      NOTE: Most of the colors are HARDCODED. They will not be affected
      by user color changes.  This is in preparation for a totally new
      color selection process.  Don't fret!

435)  You can now use wildcards in both unlisted downloads and with the
      SEND command in the DOS emulator

436)  If the CD-ROM flag is on on a file base, that base will no longer
      be scanned during a new file scan.

437)  If you're in Stealth mode, and you type something in group chat,
      other users will now see it.

438)  Adding a voting topic in the voting editor is now identical to
      adding one inside the voting booth.

439)  You can now specify an 'Extended' menu help file.  i.e. There
      are generic short and long menus.  Before, you could specify
      an external (.ANS, .AVT, .ASC) replacement for the short generic
      menus.  You can now also specify a replacement for the long
      generic menus.

440)  N at the WFCMENU now does a node listing.

441)  The TIMEBANK is no longer hardcoded.  The O$ cmdkeys are GONE!
      replacing them are:

      $D - Deposit time.  Options:  [ MaxPerDay ] ; [Max Size of account]
      $W - Withdraw time. Options:  [ MaxPerDay ]

442)  New sysop windows are two lines only.  They are togglable between
      four different windows (may add more later) that display different
      information.

443)  New/revised sysop functions:

      ALT-N - Next SysOp Window
      ALT-T - Toggle Top or bottom sysop window
      ALT-S - Toggle SysOp window on or off


444)  Renegade will now run perfectly in 43/50 line mode.  Use the new
      -50 command line option to force this mode.  Renegade will also
      use this mode if it is loaded in this mode.

445)  Users can now hit 'N' for Next Area when listing files.

446)  The pause function is no longer "hit any key to continue" but
      More (Yes, No, Continuous) ?   -  Adjust your strings accordingly!

447)  The pipe system has been revamped.  The codes are now TWO DIGITS,
      and only TWO DIGITS. The codes are:

      00-15 Foreground colors  0 - 15
      16-23 Background colors  0 - 7

      Changing the foreground doesn't affect the background, and vice
      versa.

448)  Totally new sysop windows.  5 screens of 2 lines each show all
      vital information on the user, as well as the current day's
      states and the system totals.

449)  Entirely new sysop function key system.  Hit CTRL-HOME in Renegade
      for complete help.  Notice that SysOp macros, formerly ALT-A
      through ALT-D are now F1 - F4. More to come.

450)  When local security is on, fast logon is not allowed.

451)  Option F under File system config now enables the display  <-- nuked
      of the uploader name of all the files in a file listing.
      The name is displayed as if it is a line of the extended
      description.

      This is now flagged on a per-base basis.


452)  "Network mode" can now be turned on in the Main system config.

      Network mode:

       A) Forces local security on.
       B) Disables all function keys unless a sysop is logged on.
       C) Disables the sysop window system.
       D) All WFC commands are disabled except the obvious.
       E) If no node is specified on the command line, the node will assume
          it is a local node, and automatically configure itself as the next
          available node number.

453)  Last read pointers and Zscan settings are now stored in external
      files, and not in the user records.  This allows for a max of 1024
      message bases as well as instantaneous inserts, deletes, and
      base positions.

454)  Full groupmail support added to Renemail.

455)  Single file download now says "Ready to send [FILENAME]" for com
      programs with filename guessing.

456)  File searches now say "Searching xxx base" so the user doesn't
      think the system's locked up.

457)  The "S" flag in a file base will cause the uploader name of the
      file to be displayed in file listings.

458)  The F flag under Offline mail configuration allows the QWK system
      to ignore a user's remaining time and allow them to download a
      QWK packet anyway.  Note that this does not refund his time, but
      simply does not check it.

459)  Renegade now warns users up to three minutes before they run out
      of time.

460)  The SysOp windows are now ON during a newuser logon, and information
      is updated as it is entered by the user.

461)  Users can now configure the QWK system to send private mail.

462)  The "U" command (go to user) in the user editor will now work
      with real names as well as system names.

463)  Users can now logon with either their system name OR their real name.
      If this doesn't work, delete your USERS.IDX file.

464)  The FY cmdkeys have been removed.

465)  I *THINK* the problem causing users to be disconnected for lack
      of time IMMEDIATELY after an upload that should've credited their
      time has been fixed. Need feedback!
