- Some of the added features in version 6.2
-
- You can now enter messages without the spaces between the @ and bbs fields.
- SP K3RLI @ K3RLI, or SP WA7SSO@ WA3TSW, or SP W2XO@K3RLI will work.
-
- A new command KA #### will kill a message but not archive it for you. Good
- for dup's and mail that you don't want archived.
-
- On Bulletins with a distribution list. When the bulletin is fullly forwarded
- the status of the bulletin is changed to a '$'. This is only visible to the
- sysop, so that he can decide if he wants to keep it or kill it..
-
- Added as an option in the config file -- If you place YES after the number of
- days that a message, traffic, or bulletin goes stale, the message will be
- killed after that number of days, instead of being marked stale. A nice way
- to let the bbs take care of itself by limiting the time a message will stay
- on the bbs. To prevent this from happening to a bulletin that you want to
- keep forever, just change the status of the message to stale 'O'.
-
- Multiple dos commands are now possible from the forward file.
-
- The log file will now change every month. What happens is that the present
- log file is renamed to LOG[xx].MB, where 'xx' is the month, and a new LOG.MB
- is started. This is done automatically for each log file, as soon as the
- window is free, after the month changes.
-
- Some of the added features of version 6.4 of the CBBS code
- << CONFIG MUST BE CHANGED IN TWO PLACES >>
-
- Changed the display of files so that it would show up properly on a 40
- column display. The lines now show up evenly across the screen. Do a 'W'
- on a Commodore and you will see what I mean.
-
- Added a hierarchical route server for incoming mail. This server uses
- the W9ZRX bbs list, which must be converted by using the program STATES.EXE
- which is included. STATES.MB is a converted file for direct use. You can
- edit this file and include any calls, and routes you want to. << The config
- file MUST be changed to include the path to the states file. >> This is
- placed after the line with the heardfile (CALLS.MB). What happens now is that
- any bbs found in the states list will be changed to a hierarchical route.
- That way, you only need to keep state designators in your forward file, and
- some calls for local forwarding. No longer will you have to update your forward
- file, just the states list, and you can include foreign calls and routes.
- When W9ZRX brings out a new list, just run it with STATES.EXE, and you will
- have a new states.mb file, ready for stateside forwarding.
-
- Now, when you list messages, the listing will show the number of times that
- a message is read. << The line in the config the shows the header information
- for the list command MUST be changed to reflect the new column "Read" right
- before the DATE/TIME field>> Also, a '*' will appear after the bbs call to
- indicate that a hierarchical route is with the message. That way, a normal
- list command ( Like L, LL, LM, ect ) will show that a hierarchical route is
- there. You can see the hierarchical route (EF:) by including the ';' after
- the L commands. ( L ;, LL 10 ;, LM ;, ect )
