List of changes from 0.01 to 0.02
---------------------------------
* The "?" character now works consistently as a menu hotkey.
* Added two new sysop message functions - <X>port and <F>orward.
* Improved the TRASHCAN.CTL parsing logic.
* The "quote original message" prompt now defaults to "No".
* The "double" hotkey / stacked command bug has been fixed.
* The user inactivity timer may now be disabled by setting
it's value to zero.
* The textfile shell command no longer passes the '|' terminator to
the command-line.
* Internal editor no longer dies when it receives a word > 80 chars
in length.
* Message delete logic has been changed.
* FULL NODELIST SUPPORT! Miracles DO happen :-) Check the docs
for full details on installing the nodelist files.
* Lastread pointers are no longer updated during a scan or quickscan.
* The EXITINFO and DORINFO1 files are now written to the system
directory in a single line installation.
* A user on his/her first call to the system who does a file search
by date will be shown all files, rather than none.
* RA now logs the fact that a user paged for a chat which wasn't
answered.
* RA no longer locks up periodically in the change area option of
the sysop message menu.
* The 'change message number' option on the sysop message menu has
been removed due to it's potential for misuse.
* Security watchdog no longer inserts random ^A pointmail kludges
into non-netmail messages.
* Turbo-charged red-hot hotkeys! Shouldn't lose keystrokes any more.
* A CR/LF is now sent after a menu type 7 loading display string.
* Previously RA would not come out of a type 7 shell with the
MemorySwap feature enabled if the door changed the default
directory during the shell. This has been fixed.
* Hitting CR on the last message during a 'scan' no longer drops back
to the hard coded message submenu.
* Page pausing is no longer occasionally disabled.
* The "seconds remaining" system variable now correctly returns zero
as per the documentation.
* The up arrow key now correctly increments the current user's time
by one minute while text is being displayed to the remote.
* The "move file" menu function now has the option to move the file's
description.
* The default action for the RA overlay manager is to load the
overlay file into EMS, if available. Specifying NOEMS anywhere on
the command-line forces RA to ignore EMS.
* Rebuilding/creating the message database files from scratch now
works properly.
* The read/new/combined message problems have been fixed. Scanning
is *much* faster, and a no new mail situation no longer causes
a system crash.
* RA now reports free disk space on the upload drive correctly.
* The "continue" prompt no longer disappears after using the message
sysop adjustment menu.
* The -T parameter was producing erroneous event times, this has been
fixed.
* Sometimes the system timer would "slow down" while a user was
reading messages continuously. This has also been fixed.
* RA no longer crashes when a user receives an online message while
reading through other messages.
* The "ListAnswer" questionnaire command now sends a CR/LF after the
variable value.
* User input in questionnaires is no longer "capitalised".
* The "list archive" menu function now opens the file in DENY NONE
mode.
* A type 6 (bulletin menu) menu function now waits for the user to
press [CR] after each bulletin is displayed.
* The @`~ metacommands are no longer expanded to file and message
template area names, and time left respectively, when in chat
mode, or at a non-hotkeyed menu prompt.
* The "download any file" menu command now works properly with
external protocols.
* The "displayfile" questionnaire command now works properly.
* The system timer is now (as originally intended) suspended during
chat mode.
* Messages generated by the Security WatchDog no longer have invalid
reply links.
* The new user phone# input will now only accept numerical characters
and the '-'.
* The delay between the end of a type 40 display and the menu prompt
has been eliminated.
* The ^P textfile metacommand was causing some compatibility
problems, it has been changed to a ^W.
* <P>revious has been changed to <L>ast message to avoid conflicts
and confusion with 'P to pause'.
* Changing a message's area in the sysop message adjustment menu now
correctly updates all database indices.
* RAUSER now obeys the FrontDoor/Binkley logging style correctly. The
-L option has been removed, logging is automatically sent to the
RA system log as defined in RACONFIG.
* Fixed some cosmetic problems in RAMENU.
