INFO ON TOSYSMRG.ARC (Tadas Osmolskis SYSop bug MeRGes)
May 25, 1988
This set of merges corrects 2 problems in RBBS.
The merge lines labelled TO051101 correct the incorrect updating
of the SYSOP's high message pointer when there were co-sysops in
local mode ("COM0" mode). This problem also occasionally occurs
with non-sysops, but always in local mode.
The merge lines labelled TO051102 permit anyone with an access level
high enough to see the SYSOP menu to read all mail, whether public
or private.
The file SYSOP.MRG can be applied to RBBS 16.1A (release version) and
RBBS 16.1B (BETA A). These mods have been running on my BBS since
May 11, under BETA A, with no apparent problems.
The file SYSOPF.MRG can be applied to RBBS 16.1B (BETA F). It apparently
works correctly (I exercised it when I got BETA F up and running, but
BETA F fell prey to the dread "String Space Corrupt during G.C." about
5 minutes after I reopened the phone lines. Use caution if you're running
BETA F and this mod; for that matter, use caution if you're running BETA
F without this mod. I'm back to BETA A with this mod until BASIC learns
better sanitary engineering techniques. BETA B C D and E were either never
implemented on my system or didn't last long enough for me to apply this
mod, so you're on your own.
These merges were created with Ken Goosens' BLED20. Use BLED20 to apply
them to your code. Enjoy.
