- NewsFlashServer_FileInfo does not return a file size for file bases (where
- logically it should be the combined size of the file areas within the file
- base). This is because I'm too lazy to implement it and I thought it would
- slow everything down unnecessaraly. The size can still be read by using
- NewsFlashServer_ReadFileArea for the file base.

- The compiler does not bring up the program source when an error occurs.
- Anyone know how to get zap to position the cursor where you want it btw?
-
- The message-to-user function is not available.. needs re-implementing :-(
- Also.. a message to all users online could be handy.
-
- A monitor for extra (non-line) telnet connections is needed (Alex's complaint
- :-) ).. A message protocol has been setup for line tasks with no line number
- to broadcast their status.. The 'Monitor' option on the utilities menu will
- call up the CMON utility when this is implemented..
-
- NF will crash when you exit a chat with a user who has not yet logged on..
- just get them drop carrier first ;-)
-
- Utility manager sometimes just hangs the machine (user mode loop I think) for
- no apparent reason..
-
- Utility manager doesn't correctly broadcast WIMP messages sometimes,
- resulting in the utility menu options not enabling. Solution is to load up
- utility manager then load up NewsFlash (seems to sort it out).. Haven't got a
- clue why it doesn't always work. The SWI Wimp_SendMessage is called but no
- message is broadcast (R2 is definitely set to 0). Any ideas?
-
- Some wierd problems with the ZModem routines.. Just don't work with some
- packages and stuff.. need a bit of an overhall :-(
-
- The DIR/CD (general file functions) do not work correctly from CLI. The code
- has just been written to test another lot of code and will be completely
- replaced (eventually)..
-
- Pager flag does nothing

-
- The telnet is not really telnet.. it doesn't follow the protocol and just
- provides a direct connection (applies to both the TELNET command and device).
-
- The OPENDEVICE command does not correctly verify it's parameters and you can
- do some quite nasty things with it if you're not careful! :-(

-
- Does not use the Device_Claim protocol
-
- CLI Commands not (fully) implemented:
-
- TIME
- DOORHELP
- TELNET
- DIR
- CD

-
- No call logs
-
- There is provision for splitting the file base/message base over several HD's
- but this has not been implemented yet..

-
- The ANSI cls code clears the screen in the current background colour instead of black.
-
- No parameter parsing to subroutines and no functions (user or system).
