║ ProBoard now has a unique new feature: a Software Development Kit ║
║ ────────────────────────── ║
║ This SDK allows you to write your own extensions to ProBoard ║
║ in C or C++ (a C or C++ compiler is needed) ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
- The structure of some data files has been changed in this version. A
conversion utility is included. (Run 'CONVERT PB' in your system directory)
- Alt-I sysop hotkey writes an image of the screen to a file.
- String macros!! You can insert named macros in menu-lines, shell-commands,
sysop macros, etc...
- It is now possible to edit the usage chart values (through ProCFG).
- You can show a list of users in the user editor (Alt-L)
- 43/50 line mode now selectable in ProCFG.
- Viewing of ARJ files is now supported.
- ProBoard now returns to the original video-mode when exiting.
- Hourly usage chart now starts at 6 AM instead of midnight.
- When reading messages without waiting after each message, the More Y/N/C
prompt now works correctly.
- Message/File-areas entry in ProCFG has been revised.
- New configuration option: disable/enable quick login.
- New commandline option -V : run ProBoard in a specific video mode (useful if
you want to run ProBoard in 132 column mode)

- When ProBoard is run in 132 column mode, information on the current user
is displayed on the right of your screen.
- RA 1.xx EXITINFO.BBS file format is now supported, and is read after
return from a shell. This allows external utilities to change some system
parameters, like time remaining. (*E option has to be specified)

- Support for birthdays.

- Totally new RA conversion utility. Now converts message areas, file areas

(FILES.RA,MESSAGES.RA,SYSINFO.BBS,TIMELOG.BBS,CONFIG.RA). This allows you

directory (This is not recommended though)
- The menu editor now allows you to see how a menu will look like by
pressing Alt-S.
