Short: V1.0, kills requesters automatically.

Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A friend of mine once asked me, if I could write a little program for
his BBS that would cancel all the system-requesters that may appear,
as his harddisk brought up read/write errors which were not really
existant.
So this is my first attempt for such a patch. I thought somebody had
already invented a program like this, but none of the asked sysops
could help.
The patch will kill any requester that matches a pattern given in a
config file. Other requesters will not be harmed at all.
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
EasyRequestPatch needs Kick 2.04 or higher.
History
~~~~~~~
V1.0 (26-Jul-95):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The logfile was a little bit faulty due to the mixed usage of
buffered and non-buffered writing. This has been fixed now.
- Changed the main loop quantum from 1 VBL delay to 10 VBLs. This
will reduce the cpu usage.
- Changed the requester-timeout to two seconds instead of one.
- Modified the parser to check for more errors.
- Increased the general buffers a bit.
- Strange things seem to happen: The last program opening a
requester, will get the control-c signal passed through. No clue
why this happens and how to prevent it. Please use 'ERP Quit'
instead of the Ctrl-C key.
- Added the wait and reset events.
- Added the beep and hard reset events.
V1.0ß (25-Jul-95):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- First release. Works quite well.
