December 1992
=============
New CARBON server (Ver 3) written. This required major rewrite of code to
employ different features. Some of these changes are as follows :-
1) The "from" callsign is now shown as the BBS at which the CARBON process
took place. This is to prevent White Pages attributing an incorrect "home"
BBS to the originating station's callsign in the event that one CARBON
server feeds another in "daisy chain" configuration. The callsign of the
originating station is passed within the message and will be correctly
extracted by a subsequent Ver 3 CARBON server.
2) The acknowledgement message, to the sender, is now addressed differently.
3) /ACK line is now permitted in CARBON messages, although why one would
want to use one is dubious.
4) There is now no restriction to the minimum size of message sent to the
server. Previously incomming messages had to be at least two lines long.
5) The software has been coded to disregard the To : and From : lines
which are inserted in forwarded messages from newer FBB BBS software.
6) An error message will now be generated for the BBS SysOp if CARBON
cannot identify one of it's required files. This message will be imported
into the BBS as a normal SYSTEM / SYSOP message.
For other changes, please see CARBON3.DOC.
