* Fixed a major doorbug. Hope it is gone. Speed of command execution sped
up on all commands considerably
Whats New In 0.9971
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* If you don't want your board to use the FILE_ID.DIZ support then empty
the extdiz.bat file.
* Fixed a bug in the FILE_ID.DIZ support.
When running multinopde it hung the computer.
I think I located the problem and solved it by using the different
node directorys. So make sure your different nodes have different text
directories. Else it will not work.
* Fixed so that the FILE_ID.DIZ contents is displayed before it asks the
user if he/her wants to use that as description.
* Gives back alot more time now to desqview if it waits for a call or any
wait for input from the user. So hopefully this will speed up desqview
users of PcExpress.
* Doors are inplemented. See special doors.doc for how to use doors.
* Added an runtime error handler so it will give you a real message you
can notify me with instead of a number.
* Also exit levels are displayed..

* Michael Irving started coding on PcExpress due to the fact that
Robert J. Andersson has too little time at the moment, but we hope
that the program will be atleast as good as before.

for files uploaded to the board.See enclosed file for an example
Parameters that goes with it. EXTDIZ.BAT %1 %2 %3
%1 Filename including path
%2 Directory to unpack FILE_ID.DIZ to.
%3 Extension

for a specific Confmenu for lvl 10 users.
* Gives user more download bytes available today if user uploads.
