89Dec10 Modified code used to read the table-of-contents ("TOC") of
archived files so that the ".RC" command will now handle files
of type LZH, ARC, PAK and ZIP. Beginning with distribution of
this version (5.06), sysops MUST use the new "TOC_READ.COM"
utility which accompanies this release. It must be in the same
directory where "IFL.COM" formerly resided. In keeping with this
change, the command sequence ".RHD", which formerly handled the
special case of LZH file content reading, is gone. (VAQ)
89Dec21 Unlogged caller is now assumed to be using an 80 column terminal.
While it may have once been valid to allow for 40 column users
prior to login, most folks are gravitating toward machines that
use 80 column displays - and besides, once they are logged in
they can customize this! SYSOPS TAKE NOTE - you should remove
the "unlog=xx" parameter from your CTDL batch files. If you
don't, then you will get a false "crash message" in your Aide
room every time you boot Citadel. (VAQ)
89Dec27 Cleaned up and debugged code for LOCK parameter. See notes in
INCREM.007 for complete description of the LOCK parameter. (VAQ)
89Dec27 Added PRIVATE parameter. This has all the attributes of the LOCK
parameter plus if used, when a user presses ENTER to attempt
to apply for a new account, the system will type
PRIVATE.BLB (if present) and then drop carrier. This is for
those sysops whose circumstance dictates the "ultimate
siege mode" Citadel. (VAQ)
89Dec31 Added code to support "Pause/Enter" while reading messages in
all rooms except Mail>. If a user pauses the display, then
presses E to resume, at the end of the current message the user
will be brought to the message editor. After either saving or
holding the message, the user will then resume by re-reading the
message from which he interrupted the sequence. During this
sequence of events, the user's hold-message buffer acts in a
cumulative way, so that the user can "build up" his replies to
messages as he goes through the room, "holding" each reply (which
will be appended to previously held replies) until he is at the
end of the room, or until he saves the message he has been building.
In a netted room, the new message will default as a NON-NET message,
but the user will get the "Save as networked message <Y/N>?"
prompt which will give him the chance to net the message if he
so desires. (VAQ)
89Dec31 Modified Pause/Enter to break current message immediately
rather than waiting until end. Also, added code for Pause/REVERSE
to change direction of message flow while reading. (VAQ)
<><><><><><> "Official" release of V5.06 at this point <><><><><><><>
90Jan06 Removed ".RC" command and replaced it with "V" (View contents...)
for reading archived file directories. Saves keystrokes! (VAQ)
90Jan06 Tweaked networker for BinkleyTerm compatibility. (VAQ)
90Jan08 System will check for WARNING.BLB immediately after sending the
hard-coded message which warns a user that a timed-event will
occur in five minutes. If the user is still online when the
pre-emptive event is scheduled to happen, the system will
check for SCHEDULE.BLB prior to sending the hard-coded
disconnect message. (VAQ)
90Jan11 Total cleanup of code handling LOCK and PRIVATE parameters.
This should work without problems (finally!). Also, the
use of LOCK or PRIVATE parameters OVER-RIDES the setting
of the LOGINOK switch in CTDLCNFG.SYS. However, if you
have LOGINOK set to 1, a user who logs in WILL be able to
create a new account by using .Terminate-Stay and then
logging in as a "new" user. This could also be done by a
valid user upon his return from a Door. If this creates problems
down the line, it will be changed to force ".TS" (and the
door-handling functions) to cycle to the secure-login code
rather than what is presently done. (VAQ)
90Jan15 Added parameter NETONLY which allows running the BBS in
network-only mode. Incoming and outgoing net calls will be
processed in the usual manner. Normal callers will be
disconnected - system will type-out ONLYNET.BLB if it exists. (VAQ)
90Jan15 New command: ".AN" [.Aide Network-trigger]. Only active for
Aide-user who knows (and has accessed) the Remote Sysop password.
Once invoked, Citadel will attempt an "anytime-net" out-dial
session (if work is pending) as soon as the system has "cycled
around" after current call termination. (VAQ)
90Jan17 Code added to support selective downloading from within ZOO archives.
Command sequence is ".RpC[var]" (.read {protocol} compressed/ZOOfile-
[files]" which is similar in every way to selective downloading from
ARC, PAK, ZIP or LHARC file-archives. Please note: selective
downloading using a protocol is restricted to BATCH protocols, which
is rather dependent on your choice of transfer drivers. DSZ, for
example, only handles this cleanly with YmodemBATCH and Zmodem. This
is not seen as a tremendous handicap since anyone with the
sophistication to handle ZOO archives undoubtedly can handle a
batch protocol! In order to activate this facility for your
installation, create a file called UNZOO.SYS containing ONE LINE
ONLY, and on this line put the name of your "unzoo" utility. I am
using OOZ.EXE, which works just fine for me. Naturally, UNZOO.SYS
goes in the same directory containing DEARC.SYS, UNZIP.SYS and
UNLHARC.SYS. (VAQ)
