Version 7.00
The message base has been expanded to allow upto 99 lines per message
instead of the older maximum of 20. Multiple questionnaires are now
supported instead of only one.

Version 7.20 Fixed BUG in zmodem and ymodem-batch uploads.
Version 7.21 Unreleased version --- added USENET ACCESS
Version 7.22 Allow ^K to exit zip mail
Version 7.23 is exactly the same as 7.22 but has a compile option
in bbsc1.c to define logname as getlogin for SYSV.
Version 7.24 Cleaned up main memu
Version 7.25 Added Batch read command in message section. Also, the
code now notified the user when he/she was last on the
system.
Version 7.30 Fixed a NASTY bug in the message base which happened
when messages got to be around 80 lines and more.
Version 7.31 Trapped SIGHUP and added MUCH MORE information into
the callers log!!! Enhanced the questionnaire routine.
Version 7.40 Enhanced message system. Now, the user can block and
center text.
Version 7.41 Made a new message section entry called "e(N)ter blocked
message". Also, deleted the "not used" U(nix mail) entry.
Version 7.42 IMPROVED text blocking algorithm
Version 7.43 BUG FIX in blocking/rt justify algorithm. An if statement
was previously " > 72" and should have been " >= 72"
Files changed were bbsc12.h and bbsc2.c
Version 7.44 Now the code will list the contents of .zip files
unzipunx.tar.Z is needed for this new option.
Version 7.45 Added Control-k reminders
Version 7.50 NEW SIG option..... Read MAKEsig for installation
Version 7.51 Modified msg checking code to include sigs.
Added a new optional file called sigentry.bbs which
is displayed to the user when he opts to log into a
private sig and he is not registered.
Version 7.60 The menus are NOW variable according to the user's
privilege level. If the user DOES NOT have the privilege
to use the option, the option will NOT be displayed.
Version 7.70 New option in the files menu "Z(ip new list)". This
new option allows you to scan all allowable directories
for new files.
Version 7.80 The Zip new list) option is now Z(ip file menu). Now,
you can ZIP for NEW, locate, raw and regual file list.
Version 7.81 Fixed "usenet" option so that if the user enters usenet
more than once, the path will be correct. Added logging
of chats into the callers file.
Version 7.82 Enhanced the questionnaire by adding two new commands:
^ and *. The '^' is nearly the same as the '!' except
that the input MUST NOT be NULL ( strlen > 0 ). The
'*' is nearly the same as the '$' except for the same
reason.
Version 7.83 You can now DISALLOW bbs users from certain sio lines.
A new file, inval_port.bbs, can contain a list of the
sio lines which you do not wish bbs users to use. An
example of this file is included in the distribution.
A log of the disallowed called is stored in a file
called restricted.bbs.
Version 7.84 Added Additional features option to each SIG; therefore,
each SIG can have its own external programs and/or
shell scripts which is independent of the main menu
A(dditional) features option. The format of the
features.bbs file is exactly the same as the one for
the main menu; however, this file is stored in the SIG
directory ( same as where sigentry.bbs and sigwelcome.bbs
are stored )
Version 7.85 When a message is sent to a user, the name is now
verified. In addition to name verification, the follow-
two aliases are permitted: Sysop and ALL. If Sysop is
used as the first name, the Sysop's real name will be
substituted into the message; if All is used as the
first name, All Users will be substituted.
If the upload directory is nolonger in the same file-
system as the upload path, a Unix style mv will be
performed; however, the user will get a message telling
him to notify the sysop that the upload path is not
in the same filesystem as the bbs users' home directory.
Version 7.86 Improved time accounting ( more accurate and reliable )
Version 7.87 IMPORTANT --- Repaired possible security problem
has been repaired. I won't make this known what it was
yet until other sites upgrade to this version.

Made new file upload/download menu for wildcard transfer.
Version 7.88 Minor compatibilty mod for some *nixs
Version 7.89 Now, the readnews and postnews programs are variable
determined within your configuration file. See my
.config.bbs example if you are just editing an
existing file. Xbbsgen has been modified to add the
new terms.
Version 7.90 Check to see if a file is printable ASCII before
attempting to do an ASCII download or TYPE. Check to
see if an asterisk was typed while using a file locate
command. Bbscconf.c now no longer needs any external
files to compile under SYSV.
Version 7.91 Allow multiple files to be downloaded from the d/l
command line.
Version 7.92 Display the files that will be downloaded if a multiple
request is made either by using an asterisk of by more
than one request per comamnd line. Insure that the
cross-reference table does not get garbage stored in
it.

departure messages.

filter out line noise. Cosmetic changes too.

tested under Esix5.4.4.

under Xenix2.3.2 and SVR4 release 4.
************** OPTIONAL FILE *************
An optional file, locking.h, is now available to allow the XBBS code

file MUST NOT be used for Xenix systems.
