- & Change of Operation
-
- Each line begins with one of the modification types listed in the legend above
- and then followed by a single digit (0-9) rating the importance/severity of
- the modification (0 being least significant).
-
- ***********************************
- June 17, 1995 Version 1.00 Released
- ***********************************
-
- !1 FUZZY_ZONE operation was setting destination zone, but not originating zone
- on in-bound netmail (leaving set to zone 1 or default zone).
-
- !5 INTL kludge line (for inter-zone operation) not being interpretted causing
- inter-zone NetMail to be assumed from zone 1 unless FUZZY_ZONE operation
- was enabled.
-
- !7 LZH compressed messages decoded incorrectly in 32-bit flavors (appeared as
- t's and spaces when exported).
-
- !0 Unpack command lines for Archive Types in ECHOCFG could not be changed.
-
- !0 Blank lines in AREAS.BBS read as passthru areas.
-
- !2 When echoing across zones, originating address in packets was incorrect if
- system had no AKA in the destination zone.
-
- !3 PATHs and SEEN-BYs are stripped when echoing across zones.
-
- !0 Areafix help message (AREAMGR.HLP) would only be sent when requested if
- SBBSecho was run from a NODE directory (or any directory where ..\EXEC was
- a valid path).
-
- &1 Unrecognized sub-board internal codes in AREAS.BBS are logged (unless
- "P", which is proper syntax for Passthru areas).
-
- *2 Circular path messages and duplicates are totalled for each area and
- logged with the area import totals.
-
- *5 Each loggable item can be toggled on/off in ECHOCFG->Log Options.
-
- &3 Additional logging of fatal errors before termination.
-
- !5 Wildcard node status configurations not functioning properly.
-
- !1 Netmail messages with hold status were being routed (FLO Mailers).
-
- &5 Incoming packets must have two null terminators to be imported or they
- are ignored.
-
- !3 Fixed NOPEN: ACCESS DENIED error in OS/2 flavor.
-
- &2 The received bit now gets set in .MSG type netmail if the 'D' (do not
- delete netmail after import) command line option is used.
-
- &1 Packets are now bundled after tossing is complete rather than during.
-
- &7 File attaches for bundles are now made after all bundles are created
- rather than during.
-
- ***********************************
- July 21, 1995 Version 1.01 Released
- ***********************************
-
- &0 All nodes added in ECHOCFG are saved to the configuration file (even if
- nothing was changed from the default).
-
- &1 On subsequent executions SBBSecho adds any new packets to existing bundles
- that have not yet reached the size limit rather than creating new bundles.
-
- &1 SBBSecho checks existing MSGs to see if bundles already have a file
- attachment before creating a new one.
-
- !1 File attachments for bundles weren't getting created unless messages were
- being imported or exported, as a result file attachments for stray bundles
- weren't being created right away.
-
- !2 Invalid/incorrect area manager password attempts were not being sent to
- the sysop in v1.01.
-
- *3 %RESCAN is now a valid area manager command.
-
- &3 Echomail is now only scanned from a sub-board if it is listed in the
- AREAS.BBS file and it has uplinks. If a node does a remote rescan, only
- those areas to which they are connected are scanned.
-
- !7 If a packet containing netmail were imported, the very next message in the
- packet after the netmail message would get skipped.
-
- !0 The MAIL database isn't left locked while searching for destination user
- name(s), possibly causing open failures on other active nodes on a large
- user database.
-
- *1 Added %FROM for doing remote area manager maintenance via a remote location.
-
- *2 A specific user number can be specified for automatic e-mail notification
- of failed Areafix requests.
-
- !3 If a packet containing in transit netmail were imported and the destination
- user existed on your system, it would get imported to that user rather than
- reaching the proper destination address.
-
- &2 EchoMail messages imported are given the FidoNet type network status, even
- if the message is missing a proper origin line. This eliminates the problem
- of exporting messages that were imported from Fido to begin with, but lacked
- a proper origin line. The originating address on the message will be the
- packet address (the address is normally obtained from the origin line).
-
- !3 If an area which you were not previously carrying was remotely added via
- Area Manager, your hub where requests are forwarded to (if any) was not
- getting added to the AREAS.BBS file.
-
- !3 Areafix commands %+ALL, %-ALL, and %COMPRESSION not working properly.
-
- &0 PASSIVE directive was being placed into SBBSECHO.CFG even when not
- necessary.
-
- !1 Bundle attachments with the DIRECT flag set weren't getting deleted after
- being sent out.
-
- *************************************

- *************************************
-
- !5 International kludge line not getting written.
-

- netmail was not getting converted to .MSG files and could be lost.
-
- *************************************
- August 30, 1995 Version 1.11 Released
- *************************************
-
- !6 %+ALL remote area manager function not working properly if any 'Additional
- Echo Lists' were configured for the requesting node.
-
- !6 %LIST remote area manager function not working properly if any 'Additional
- Echo Lists' were configured for the requesting node.
-
- !3 File find routines under OS/2 require close.
-
- &0 In the ECHOCFG program, under 'Additional Echo Lists', would show 'Yes' for
- 'Forward Requests' if there was no 'Hub Address' specified.
-
- !0 AREAS.BBS lines greater than 255 characters in length would cause wierd
- behavior. Lines up to 1024 characters in length are now correctly supported.
-
- !1 SBBSecho would sometimes require being run more than once to pick up all
- incoming bundles.
-
