the way the way the F one does, but on the second set and the -Y is
the analog to the -S command.
New % code for the .E command, %2 = User Number

v2.30ß4
Modified multinode split screen chat:
Cursor will now move correctly when return is pressed
After 10 seconds, the software will check the chat file every half-second
and most likely without polls coinciding with other nodes. That was
the problem with the chat before. Two nodes were always colliding
and instead of taking a tiny fraction of a second, the check would
take over a second, causing large delays.

exist
Fixed bug in which dupe was uploaded and the original file would be
deleted

menu command reading
If you set the CString for the MI command to N, the board will not display
the BCHANGE ansi
On a related note, the same function can be done with M[ and M]. I do not
know if this was documented
To the programmers:
Notice number 7 will just display Inf1 and Inf2 separated by a space.
With this, you can have your utilities make their own notices

New Menu Command:
EY - Spy Mail
Read mail in your box, but do not mark it as read

v2.30ß7
Really fixed bug where users on other nodes could vote on applying users
Modified MAKEPROM:
It will change the descriptions of older prompts
You can enter a command-line parameter for the first prompt to be
overwritten by the defaults. This should allow people to fix their
corruption problems.
Added in Default Protocls, CR at Protocol prompt will default to last
protocol used. Be sure to edit prompt 103.
Modified Prompt 148 (redraw after file listing in get many files routine) so
that the order of the other texts conforms to the Enter up to so many
files... prompt
Modified the batch time and points tabulation which was seriously messed
up. A few bugs may have been introduced, but this fixes the wacky
time left bug when you do a download, then ? or FS.
Fixed Multinode Inform Users Bug
BBS now detects amount of space available for the scrollback and adjusts
the size accordingly. For this reason, when you change the number of
scrollback lines, the new value will not go into action until the BBS is
run again.
Removed Celerity color codes

option in the config to turn chat logging on immediately. The log file is
CHAT.LOG in the logs directory. You can only log one node at a time.
After a user has been approved/refused in NUV, the info on users voting on

into voting.
Fixed bug in which no vote in NUV would not be removed if user decided to
change his vote.

difference
New ACS Code:
_ - Returns yes if user is available for multinode chat
The header for the internal zip viewer is now configurable, the filename

Fixed bug where libraries bigger than 64k would not be read correctly
May have made IP.EXE behave a little better
Spelling of Maintenance corrected in default prompts and prompt template
Extended maximum length of prompts to close to 255 chars (including expanded

You can now set in the config whether you want the BBS to use the Rename
Files or run COPY methods of file moving
Made it so you can't move a file to itself
Fixed bug where file list would not be sent under multinode operation
The work directory is now completely wiped when the user logs on
Added Multinode friendly file options. This will copy files to the work
directory before they are downloaded and receive files into the work
directory and move them to the upload directory. You can also specify
specific file areas to use the file copying which will ease transferring
from CD-Roms.
Note: Files will not be downloaded into the work directory for bidirection
protocols
Fixed bug where BBS would not memorize the last message in a base
Added Message Moving. This option copies a message from one base to another
and marks the original as deleted. The text of the message is copied
verbatim, meaning origin lines are not added or removed.
The menu command for message moving is SX and the message reading command
is Z
Edited a lot of the text storage code to accomodate message moving. These
changes should not be noticed, but they may cause a couple of strange
bugs.
Moving all files to the same area can be aborted by Q or return from
the area selection
Added new WFC by Aphex Twin. Note: I had to make the general data one
of the scrolling boxes.
FIxed bug where it would appear that new users hadn't change their password
since 00/00/80
Made it so users can't change their password to a blank string
New Configurable prompts:
|OT added to batch.
|OT has been selected.
Fix bug where autosig would not always default to on when sending mail
Added option not to use BIOS check to see if a filename is a device driver.
One method of locking boards is to get the board to access a device
driver (ie CON, etc). The software uses a BIOS command to check if
a certain filename corresponds to a device driver. This may lock up
certain OS/2 setups, and thus an option to turn off the check and have the
BBS just use some filenames. Only turn this option on if you know you need
to (if you've experienced said locks). Otherwise, the BBS should still
be left doing the BIOS check (ie the option should be set to no).
v2.30ß9
Fixed bug where inform users would not work in special logins
Fixed cosmetic bug with Mail Scan at WFC
Entering of NUP is now in hidden characters
Be sure to make sure the NUP prompt is not at the top of the screen, this
will cause the prompt and the NUP display to conflict
Fixed bug where Pause would interrupt pulldown menus
You can now use the usual function keys while in chat
To accomodate this, I changed the toggle chat logs key to F6.
Sysop can now set which infoforms are to be shown to new user voters,
upgrading sysops, be sure to set infoform #5 as a NUV form
The Infoform menu will not show up if there are no infoforms on the board
New Menu Command:
SC - Copy Message Base
Creates new message base with some of the info of the current base
TN - Copy File Area
Creates new file area with the info of the current area
Note to the curious:
Certain message base info should never be duplicated for another base
as it would cause corruption. There is no such corresponding data
for the file areas.
Fixed color of "Free Space" in WFC
New Menu Command:
-" Sets the number of lines that have been scrolled on the screen to
zero. This may defer pausing until the next screen of text
Fixed bug where Read To, Read From would log the board
New Percent Codes for Ansis:
%PF - Turns Screen Pausing Off
%PO - Turns Screen Pausing Back On (If the user has screen pausing)
Fixed bug where |16-23 would not preserve bright attribute
New Menu Command:
MG - Displays BCHANGE.ANS
Made the following prompts configurable:
"Would you like to newscan all [file] areas'
"File is already online."
"Search All Directories"
"Show Description"
"Enter Description"
"Edit Description"
"Scan All Bases"
"File |OT was purposely deleted."
"Message From: |OT"
Multinode Message Text: "|OT"
Fixed bug where protocol execution would end up on the same line as
"User is _________"
May have fixed Upload Message Bug
BBS now creates individual nodes' door directories automatically
BBS will now only display new sysop mail at the WFC

after the user hit return once
Fixed bug where volume label would show up in the middle of file listings
Added ACS in the config to list hidden files in Minidos
Fixed bug where breaking listing of deleted list would cause a lot of
blank lines
You can now include | and @ color codes in multinode activity
BBS no longer clears lines on the screen that the menu prompt does not use
Sysops will now be able to put rumors below the prompt
|NN in Menu Prompt now displays node number
Sysops can now put %%filename.ext on any line in the menu prompts to
display an ansi in the textfile directory
To accomodate the above addition, %MN (in ansis) now displays the current menu
name in prompt
Fixed way in which -. could be used to send files from the root
Fixed bug where Multinode messages would display oddly at promptless menus
BBS now logs run-time error number in the case of system errors
BBS now logs sysop autologins
Fixed bug where you may have "at most 50 files" message displayed repeatedly
Added in Change Directory in Minidos ACS for added security
People are no longer able to send wildcards in Minidos
Made it so users could not add files from the root
Fixed bug where last menu prompt would be deleted when user tried to abort
menu prompt deletion
BBS will not accept any birthdate entered that would imply the user is
less than 5.
BBS now restores screen after running MAINTAIN.BAT
New Suffix for Name in Prompt for promptless menus: [, gets hidden input
Added in separate prompts directory for files included into the text prompts
Run PROMCOPY.EXE after you have set a prompts directory to copy the
appropriate files.
"?" in the menu options editor will display a file called MENUHELP.ANS in
the textfile directory. Anyone willing to submit a handy ansi that quickly
details the menu commands, please do so.
Fixed bug in the text prompt editor where ESC would mess up the screen
Made it so users could not view users of higher or equal access in the
user editor. This means that those users will not be included in
a user chain tabulated by the search editor
Fixed bug where if a sysop tried to go to an out-of-range file area, it
would automatically create a file area without asking if this is what
the sysop wanted to do.
v2.30ß10
Tweaked and perhaps fixed the upload message bug
Fixed bug where a left-arrow or backspace would make the FSE scroll
with headers above a certain size
Changed Limits for IRQ # in the config
minimum to zero, so users who have no need for this option won't be forced
to configured it
maximum to fifteen as that may be needed
Added &D to MENULIST. as the option has been undocumented
New Menu Command:
MJ - Does Type Newscan (like MO), but does not update newscan pointers
Menu Command modification:
A CString of blind to the FU (file upload) command will prevent the BBS
from prompting for filenames
The sysop can specify the type of newscan to be done by the MO and MJ
commands by the first character in the CString:
T - To Current User
F - From Current User
D - After a certain date
I - Containing certain information
X - Containing certain text
BBS now regnerates file catalog after offline cleanup
Fixed bug where BBS would not delete descriptions of files removed in
offline cleanup
Fixed bug where lastcaller's handle would be cut off at the WFC
Fixed bug where if the user was sent to a menu that did not exist and fell
back to an initial menu that also does not exist, the system would get a
runtime error 203. Now, the system hangs up on the user and logs this
occurance as a fatal error.
Fixed moronic thing where the NUV Infoform options 1 through 5 are all
listed as 1. For the sake of my sanity, I need to release v2.30 soon.
Made it so when the BBS saves the screen to redraw it after a message is
uploaded as ansi file, it saves the screen to the heap rather than using
local variables. That, I believe, was causing the memory problem that
caused the upload message bug and the addition of the screen redrawing
corresponds to the appearance of that bug.
A day constraint of 0 will turn off the time check
Fixed files from the future time check failure bug
Upload Checker no longer goes on to next option if current one fails
Fixed bug where bright attribute would not be preserved by (pipe)16-23
BBS now stores node number in lastcaller record, it can be displayed
with the MCI code of (pipe)NN. The new format for the last callers
is incompatible with the old, so you'll have to delete LASTCALL.DAT.
Old utils that read the last caller file are also incompatible. By
the way, the new last caller structure is as follows:
LastCallerRec = Record
Handle : MStr;
BaudRate : Word;
TimeOn : LongInt;
OnNode : Byte;
Reserved : Array[1..8] Of Byte;
End;
Added range checking to edit data (in data area) which will fix a particular
garbage bug
Made small modifications to data area entry delete command that should not
affect function
New ACS code:
] - Yes if screen pausing is on
New Menu Commands:
-1 - Sets Screen Pausing (that is toggled in the user config)
+ in CString turns screen pausing on, anything else turns it off

pausing set) + in CString suspends pausing, anything else returns to
normal settings
Note: Suspended Pausing is only temporary and is turned off after a regular
textfile display
Fixed multinode friendly file uploading
Fixed bug where primary sysop would not be able to edit himself or users of
the same level
BBS now logs speed and node number of applying users
BBS now lists files it removes in the offline clean-up
BBS now logs when the sysop engages a user in chat and when the sysop exits
chat
When the N CString is used on the M[, M] commands, the BBS does will not
display user is at first/last base message
M[, M] now set the failflag when the user is at the first/last base
Added option and configurable prompt to inform users that a user on another
node has logged off.
If a file is not an archive, but is sent to the upload checker, the newest
file date, oldest file date, and diz date is set to the file date, the
uncompressed file size is set to the file size.
During File moves, the sysop can type S to skip the current file.
BBS correctly logs moved files rather than logging every file that was
batched when the move command was initiated.
New Menu Command:
-, - Sets Starting Option in Pulldown Menu
Cstring is the pulldown ID of the desired option
-' - Turns on Pulldown Menu Re-entrance, returns to previously selected
option when BBS re-enters the pulldown menu after executing
commands that do not go to a different menu.
('=Single Quote)
-` - Turns off Pulldown Menu Re-entrance
(`=Key to the left of 1, unshifted-~)
Added new set of configurable options that cana be set up at the WFC. The
sysop simply sets titles for the options and batch files to be run.
v2.30Pre1
Made it so when a file area was marked to Copy Files the file would be
copied to the work directory regardless of what directory the download
was done from
Fixed bug where in global local upload the BBS asked if the sysop wanted
MAINTAIN.BAT to be run on all files when the sysop was to be prompted
when adding
Fixed bug in upload checker where the Adding BBS Ad options would
overwrite the Deleting Files options
Fixed bug where users would not get the correct flags would validated at
NUV
Fixed cosmetic bug where length of the WFC Option 1 Title field in the
Config was much too long
v2.30Pre2
Changed the file sharing in the text storage. This may fix some of the
corruption bugs
Modified the user to sysop split screen chat so that the definition file is
read in buffers. This should ease some memory problems including the
runtime error 204 after chatting with logging-in users and previously
unexplained chat dropouts.
BBS now saves user record to disk after the user exits the config, that
way the change in user note is immediately reflected in the user list
Fixed bug where MAKEPROM.EXE would cut off prompts longer than 80 characters
BBS now takes filesize for uploaded file after the checker is run since
the checker may alter the file size by removing ads, etc.
Fixed bug where BBS would check for free space to copy files for download,
even if multinode friendly file options were turned off
%IN in included menu prompt ansis works correctly
New ACS Codes:
! - Current Menu Set Number
% - Current Status Screens Set Number
^ - Current Menu Prompt Number
Made it so BBS won't ask about moving all files to one area if there is only
one file in the batch
Straightened out help lines at WFC Options submenu in the config
BBS now deletes message capture file after it is moved during a local login
When there is no space to copy any of the files in the batch in a multinode
friendly download, the download will not continue and the user will be
informed by the display of prompt 203.
New nodes entering real-time multinode chat will read the messages of
other nodes starting from when they entered instead of all text in
the buffer.
BBS now informs sysops of the success of physical file moves
Fixed disappearing "<User name> is uploading" bug
BBS now limits the life of users at the matrix if there is an approaching
event. As a result, -# can be used freely without worrying about the
automatic kick-off bug.
Applying users are added to last caller listing.
You can now view files before locally uploading them.
Made it so that once BBS recognized that carrier had been lost, there was
no way another caller would be recognized without the BBS first recycling.
Made it so BBS will automatically abort file listings if the user drops
carrier.
In deleted list display ansi, the sysop can include %OT which will display
the date when the deleted user may next apply
v2.30Pre3
Fixed 0 filesize upload bug
Fixed cosmetic bug in file moving reports
Fixed cosmetic bug in editing the protocol command-line
New Command-line option:
-F - Run without a fossil driver
Made it so send and receive carrier will not work without a fossil driver
installed
Made some internal changes in ObvMail. These should not be noticed.
When the message base filename is changed in the message editor, the
appropriate file is created if it does not yet exist
v2.30Pre4
Fixed bug where |16+ would not preserve bright colors
The Nx command for forward and backward title scanning with
advance/retreat now correctly change the current message number
New Menu Command:
NS - Sets current message in single reading to the one previous if the
current message number is greater than the CString.
Depending on its implementation in the single reading menu, an NS w/
CString of 0 may be necessary after a NF or NX.
NS w/ a CString of 1 followed by a NA should work as a previous
message command
If the CString of the F| (Complete Filelist generation) is set to -, the BBS
will not include ansi codes
Time is now included in the status bar (in the second display)
Included extra spaces between area and confgerences to make viewing file
lists easier
Finally fixed bug where BBS was checking free space before downloads even
if no multinode friendly file options have been turned on
Fixed character overflow bug in title listing caused by long handles
In data area editor, when editing options, it is now impossible to delete
all options. This is because a data area without any options can serve
no useful purpose.
Users can no longer extract files to which they do not have download ACS
v2.30Pre5
New ACS Code:
: - Returns true if current message number in single reading is greater
than or equal to the specified value
BBS now detects 33,600 connects
Added option in the config to automatically validate new users. Users
who are still connected at the end of the application and have not yet
been granted access locally by the sysop will be given default access.
The failflag will be set if they are correctly given access and their
information will not be cleared, so they can be dropped into the BBS
with the {X command.
New Menu Commands:
NG - Sets last read message to the current one
Notes:
1. NU was previously documented as doing something like that, but in
actuality, it does the reverse, it moves the reading pointer to the
message that is stored as the last read
2. Sysops may want to stack NG after NF (forward title scan)
-3 - Adds number of minutes in CString to the user's time
-4 - Removes the number of minutes in CString from the user's time
Be sure to use this command in conjunction with the T ACS Code
so the user is not given negative time and kicked off
Made the file moving destination area selection uniform between moving all

etc) would disappear
