v2.30ß1 # and ( menus will respond to arrow keys and give the appropriate ascii values Added in option to give up time slices if multitasking Fixed some small bugs in the message editor v2.30ß2 Fixed bug in which AVATAR defaulted to On in New User applications Fixed bug in which 24000 was recognized as 2400 Added in timeslicing to Wait for call Added in timeslicing to ObvMail importing and exporting Added in timeslicing to MBP and EP Fixed bug in which cursor wasn't correctly placed in FSE after message upload Deleted filelist file must now be placed in the BBS Directory and should work 100% now Fixed bug in which users were able to vote on a user while he was applying on another node. Made Continue/Abort/Edit Batch prompt configurable New Menu Command: -. Send file in CString. This command checks to make sure the file isn't in the menu and data directories or has a weird filename, but please check it out. For the Mortmeister, a second set of user flags. The O ACS command works 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 All betas are now protected with a stamp so any leaked betas can be traced to leaking sysop. For this reason all betas must be downloaded from the Fringes. v2.30ß3 New Menu Command: DC - Edit Data in a data area When you delete a user, it will delete all the mail to and from him. Added option to add files without prompting. Whether or not you want to do this is asked after you've entered a wildcard to add. Added [,] to Message Base Editor Added [,] to File Area Editor New Security Feature: If USER.LST has to be recreated with defaults, sysop must hit a key 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. Made it so it is impossible to try to move a file to an area that doesn't exist Fixed bug in which dupe was uploaded and the original file would be deleted Expanded upper limit for minimum k for upload to 20 Megs Fixed bug in which if you were reading mail by a certain user and then deleted him, the current piece of mail would not be correctly deleted. Fixed bug in which "Directory Does Not Exist, Create?" would overwrite the message base editor W from message reading menu is private reply New Menu Command: NP - Private Reply to Message Fixed bug in which if you physically moved a file to the area in which it really resides, the file would be deleted Fixed bug in which bulk upload would run the upload checker even if you requested otherwise Three New Extra File Description Codes: |DD - Diz Date |ND - Newest File Date |OD - Oldest File Date New Configurable Prompts: Command (?/Help) : Edit Autosig Wildcard Listing Enter File Spec: Range [|OT-|O2/Enter=All] Fixed bug in which filelist configuration would not work unless FCONFIGS.ANS was in your textfile directory Made it so software will prompt you if you try to abort message New Option in Data Area Editor: Force Message, will force an additional description in adding and showing New Program: IP.EXE - Infoform packer. I have not tested it that well, so please back up you userlist as well as INFOFORM.T, INFOFORM.L, and INFOFORM.U before running. Autosigs default to off when the message is anonymous or uses the real name First call and Birthdate are now shown in user editor There is now an extra description which can be used for storing notes on users. Added Description for users in Deleted List Run STORCON.EXE so the new description storage will work correctly Made it so Minidos will not even bother processing particular commands Added timeslicing to sysop-user split screen chat Added option to memorize email New Menu Command: EM - Memorize email message Don't forget to add M! to your email menu so users can download memorized messages BBS makes user unavailable for chat before running a door/batch file and returns the status to what it was afterwards Fixed bug in show all email menu mode in which sysop would be asked to send return receipts on mail not send to him When you use the prompt email reading command, the mail you read will now be marked as read Software now logs when a user drops carrier or was forced off by the sysop (or blacklist) "You are not validated for this board" prompt has been modified so that |OT is Number of Yes Votes in NUV, |O2 is No Votes New textfile code, %CS=Current Message Number if you are the doing the NX 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 Commands: T+ Increase file points of current user by value of CString T- Decrease file points of current user by value of CString T= Set number of file points to value of CString File searches now use regular file listing. Message newscanning in global newscanning no longer displays BCHANGE Q from file newscanning now aborts global file newscan Q from message newscanning aborts global message newscan v2.30ß5 Fixed bug in which if you edited a user from email, current piece of mail would be deleted Made it so you can't group mail users that don't exist New Menu Command: EY - Spy Mail Read mail in your box, but do not mark it as read When files are deleted, sysop is given option to delete certain amount times credit When file points are deducted, the user cannot end up with negative file points New CString for NUV commands: <Nuv ACS>,<Yes Votes>,<No Votes>,<Success Level>,<Deny Level>,<Val User> where NUV ACS is ACS of users to be voted upon Yes Votes is Positive Votes Required Success Level is level when approved Deny Level is level when denied acces Val User if + tells the software to validate the user, ie give him all the necessary flags If the options are not phrased correctly, the software will do the regular NUV New Menu Command: ^Q - Goes through NUV without asking about skipping or allowing quitting If you use the new NUV options, you may want to change User was deleted prompt to user was denied Fixed bug in editting deleted list entries where sysop is forced into the message editor Prompts are given absolute numbers in prompt editor G in the prompt editor goes to an absolute prompt number Fixed screwed-up message reading help Fixed private reply which occasionally screws up quote Yes Votes/No Votes for users pending validation will be showed correctly when user tries to login Fixed file duplicate uploading bug New Menu Command: QL - Edit Last QWK Reply Upload Date New Prompt for the entering of the QWK Reply Date Fixed bug in which sysops doing autoadd would be prompted to use MAINTAIN.BAT if they weren't using the Upload Checker Added options in global local upload to choose whether to run Upload Checker or MAINTAIN.BAT on all files New ACS Code: X for area code, tries to match characters to the right of X with first so many numbers of the user's phone number New Menu Command: FQ - Change File Listing Config In the CString, the following commands can be used 0 - Turn off all options + - Turn on options of following numbers - - Turn off options of following numbers for example: 0+127 would turn on options 1, 2, and 7 only New Option in the Config: Multinode directory, please set it Added CR to notice #7 display New Menu Command: FP - Requests File Generates a notice for each file requested v2.30ß6 Fixed file area corruption bug Made file listing config more code efficient New Menu Commands &U - Send Message to All Available Nodes &X - System Sends Message in CString to All Available Nodes Added option to inform users of a user logging on another node New Menu Command: -< - Display Prompt String CString of the form <Absolute Prompt #>,<Other Text 1>φ<Other Text 2> New ACS Code: Zx - Day of Week where x=0 is Sunday, x=6 is Saturday When files are deleted, the sysop can choose to inform the uploader User will not get upload K or credit if the file fails upload checker Failflag is turned on after QWK Upload if REP date is older than last upload date Moved option for line for user is uploading/downloading to system info 3 File extractions now cost credit: The uncompressed file is worth however much k times a certain value in the config (extract percentage, file section options) File points are worth a fraction of the original file's fps times the extract percentage 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 Added in new pipe codes: |16-|23 - Changes Background Attribute |16 = Black |17 = Blue |18 = Green |19 = Cyan |20 = Red |21 = Magenta |22 = Brown |23 = Gray Increased maximum days to save log to 200 Fixed blank top line bug Added in Chat Logs. You can type F3 in chat to toggle them and there is an 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 him will be deleted. This is to prevent problems if the user is reentered into voting. Fixed bug in which no vote in NUV would not be removed if user decided to change his vote. New Configurable Prompt: Enter Menu Password BBS now asks about using MAINTAIN.BAT during auto-add In global local upload, once auto-add is turned off, it will remain off New Menu Command: &D - Changes Current Activity to activity in CString Upgrading sysops will have to deleted NODESTAT.DAT as I will not be writing a convertor for such an unimportant file Added Multinode Activity Strings to the prompts Modified how the BBS handles |OT and |O2 in prompts, this may cause some bugs somewhere Fixed bug in the file deleting where redundant questions would be asked Ctrl-Z now exits the default color configuration in the config Fixed bug where changing the sort type would screw up the file area editor display Fixed bug in conference editor where if you list users with access to a certain conference, it leaves blank lines for deleted users When file fails upload checker, uploader and checking date/time are recorded in the .BAD file Made the following prompts configurable: Save This Enter Current Password Enter New Password Re-enter Password New Menu Commands: NM - Memorize Current Message MM - Memorize Message Number Specified in CString, if none specified, BBS will prompt Change duplicated %CS (for current message number in Nx reading) to %CE Cursor location in split screen multinode chat is now correctly updated after a CR Fixed bug where logoff after download would not work correctly Fix bug where logoff after transfer was logged as dropping carrier May have fixed messed up multinode status after return from doors bug Tweaked some things in the 115.2k locking which may or may not make a 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 is ZIPHEAD.ANS; it is packed with the status screen libraries. There are no MCI codes, just refer to the internal header for the names of the fields that must be included. BBS now deletes FILES.DL after download New Prompt: Incorrect Password [after attempted password change] New Menu Command: [- - Force User to Change Password New ACS Code: $ - Returns yes if there have been as many days since the last password change as the following value New Menu Command: -~ - Sets Chat Reason in Status Bar to CString if CString is set, otherwise, it removes the chat reason from the status bar v2.30ß7Fix Fixed bug where pipe codes in prompts would not be interpreted. v2.30ß8 Fixed prompt cut-off bug Fixed bug where availability was not set correctly with &[, &] commands Improved page pausing 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 other texts). Be sure to run PROMCOM.EXE (only once) -# menu command has been modified so it will not give user enough time as to preempt an event Fixed bug where users would lose the time that was temporarily removed for events Fixed certain type of lock up bug BBS now asks if you want to remove credit for all files in batch if you don't want to be prompted Fixed bugs with using ZIPHEAD.ANS BBS turns off screen pausing when running menu execution commands The upload checker now uses an age constraint in days old Made conference editing options abortable with Q 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 Fixed bug where unabortable string in infoform would not enforce length 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 -2 - Sets Screen Pausing Suspension (ie stops screen pausing if user has 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 the files to one area and moving the files to separate areas. This should hardly be noticed, but please test for bugs If file description is not turned on in the file listing configuration, the BBS will not make accomodations with regard to description size and the maximum number of files will be displayed on screen Private messages will now be correctly displayed to the appropriate user in real name bases. Made the fossil drive, work directory, and DSZLOG error messages more understandable. Sysops can now more easily include upper ascii characters into the Keys option of menu commands. Simply type <#xxx> where xxx is the ASCII value of the desired key in base 10. Fixed bug where deleting unvalidated files would remove file points that had never been awarded. Made it so that when a user's handle is changed, all mail to and from that user will be changed to correspond with the new handle. v2.30Pre6 Fixed bug where autovalidated new users' access was not saved to disk. Also, if you stack a {X after the {A command, make sure the ACS is set to something like \(s2) which means the user has access at least 2 which will ensure that the user didn't somehow abort the application process. Fixed bug where particular system error messages (regarding DSZLOG settings, etc) would disappear BBS now restores screen after SEND command in MINIDOS If a user is edited from the email reading menu and his handle is changed, the email's from field is correctly changed. v2.30 Made sure "Security Pause" message would always show up. Modified the lastcaller reading routine Fixed file area creation lock-up bug Fixed bug where duplicated files would run together at upload status screen. Be sure to set prompt #205 which the BBS displays when it detects a duplicate.
