- MBL514 Release Notes:
-
- 5.14 is another quick update which only adds a few minor changes.
- The only action necessary is to rename your configuration file to
- MBL514.CNF. The configuration file has not changed.
-
- The full @BBS address may now be edited. Also, the full @BBS address,
- any BID or Append File are also shown when you are editing a message.
-
- The forwarding file now allows an additional option to indicate different
- times for forwarding and reverse forwarding if you are using the same
- file for both functions. The new format is:
-
- GA WA7MXZ
- 03,06,09 <- forward to MXZ @ 3, 6, or 9
- R <- following hours are for reverse forwarding
- 00-23 <- RvsFwd to him anytime
- @ WA7MXZ-2 (the filesize options still may be used as before)
- WA7MXZ
- NTSUT
- ...
-
- If you do not include the reverse forwarding lines, reverse forwarding
- will default to the same hours as forwarding (as before). In other
- words, you DO NOT need to change your forwarding files unless you have
- a use for these new features.

- MBL513 Release Notes:
-
- 5.13 is a quick update to 5.12 to add limited support to H-addressed
- messages. The update was written in a couple of hours, so testing has
- been very limited. I didn't even check to see if H-info was passed to
- and from the SERVERS, so you may want to use this with caution if you
- are using them.
-
- A message I recently received from Hank indicated to me that the routing
- of H-addressed mail has not been standardized, and the main concern was
- simply to pass the H-addr on to the next guy. Rather than spend time
- now doing any changes to the forwarding code, I have simply made a couple
- of changes to accept and pass on the H-addr.
-
- All H-Addr info WILL BE IGNORED by the forwarding routines which will
- forward as always based only upon the @BBS callsign.
-
- You need to make two changes to run this code.
-
- You must run CVT513 which will convert MAILFILE.BTR to MAILINDX.BTR which
- adds space for the H-addr info. (You must then either rename MAILINDX.BTR
- back to MAILFILE.BTR or change the mail file name in BBS513.CNF!)
-
- You also need to add your full H-address in a line following your callsign
- in BBS513.CNF.
-
- ....
- [Logan, Utah] Z:84321
- z (Time zone)
- 25 (Minute of the hour to do forwarding)
- WA7MBL (Owner call sign)
- WA7MBL.UT.USA (Owner H addr) <--- Add this line ***********
- Jeff (Owner name)
- .....
-
- PS - my personal opinion is that the continent information (.NA in USA.NA) is
- redundant and not necessary.
