- in F4 window, preceeding the command with a '-' (minus) will disconnect
forwarding BBS or port(s). Preceeding with a '+' (plus) will force reverse
forwarding. (Ie: +F6FBB, -LA1B).

- Automatic update of H-Routing database (HROUTE.SYS) when receiving headers.
When a message is sent to a @field without Hrouting, route is replaced by
the Hroute found in database. Database is an ascii file, first character is
P (permanent) V (volatile) or # (comment).
If a route is changed as Permanent, this route will never be changed even if

- LD> added 1 day. Fixed.
- FORWARD.SYS: U Route1 Route2 Route3 ... (up to 8 routes) gives priority in
routing bulletins. Ex: "U FRA EU WW" Bulletins @FRA will be forwarded first,

1 7 8 1 230 4 1 10 30/60 UQYW 433.650
No additional TNC should be declared, only this line should be added.
- Us: memory sometimes lower than zero. Fixed.
- From:/to: sent if the message has no R: line.
- in the list prompt "(R)ead, (A)bort, <return>", the letter C was accepted.
- REJET.SYS has a new character in the beginning of each line :
R means rejected
H means HELD
a program named MAINTREJ changes REJET.SYS from old format to new format.
if the received message matches with a line of REJET.SYS, it will be :
* rejected (N-BID) if the first character of REJET.SYS is R
* held if the character is H
- REview command implemented (sysop only).
allows choices : Kill, Archive, Read, read Verbose, Unhold, Local
(Local validates message but does not validate forwarding).
- Hold commands implemented (sysop only) :
H nnnn nnnn nnnn ...
H< call

- Trajectography looping when the satellite is never visible. Fixed.
- Command FI for BID maintenance :
FI Bid gives information on BID.
FI Bid + adds Bid to list.
FI Bid - remove Bid from list.
- Out of memory when importing forward from diskette. Fixed.
- MID is deleted as soon as a private message is forwarded. This should allow
to accept again the message if the message uses the same BBS (in case of
redirection for instance).
This should generate duplicates, but only with private mail.
- Command FC did not work with H routes. Fixed.
- Command FH for Hrouting expansion check.
FH bbs gives the Hroute for bbs.
- Command FP for swap check.
FP < call
FP @ route

give the fields which were swapped.
- NQ now gets Qth
NL gets Locator
- WP implementation. Needs to create the WP subdirectory under SYSTEM.

MAIL.WP file. This file will be renamed (or appended to) MAIL.IN and
then allows the WP database to be updated with the informations from
HROUTE.SYS and INF.SYS (this takes some time !). The WP needs hight
memory, and will be validated with the EMS/XMS WP usage.
- Oldmail date was wrong with EPURMESS. Now takes UTM information from
INIT.SRV.
- EPURWP program updates records in the WP database. Will be ran each night
during housekeeping (if WP validated).
- New Commands (If WP validated) :
I Callsign : Looks for WP information (Wildcards allowed).
I@ BBS : Looks for users of BBS (Wildcards allowed).
IH Zone : Looks for users within HROUTE Zone (EU, FRA, etc...)
IZ Zip : Looks for users matching the Zip code (Wildcards allowed).
IL Callsign : Gives full information on callsign, including primary and
secondary records.
- WP server.
This server is built-in. Only need to declare an entry in INIT.SRV (like
REQCFG) . It answers to request messages like :
SP WP @ F6FBB
Wp Query <- Any title
F6FBB ? <- Ask F6FBB information
LA6CU ? <- Ask LA6CU information
/EX
- Fullscreen mini-editor now uses the base number of messages.
===============================================================================

- Zip code of the BBS defined in INIT.SRV
- Variable $z now is the ZIP code of the BBS.
- f accepted to end QTH LOCATOR commands.
- WP messages are hidden for users.
- No R: line added in WP update messages. This avoid to have more headers than
information !
- Added a task indicator in the left of the status line :

- Number of last listed message updated only if the deconnection is made with
the 'B' command.
- Message held by M_FILTER was still forwarded. Fixed.
- Wildcard & : checks for a . or the end of the string. Used for hierarchical
indication in FORWARD.SYS
Ex:
*.FRA&
will match for
xxxxx.FRA and xxxxx.FRA.xxxxx (xxxx = does not matter)
but will not match for
xxxxx.FRANCA or xxxxx.FRANCA.xxxxxx
- Line "T" in FORWARD.SYS file now indicates forwarding strategy, private only
and maximum size.
Ex:
T P S 20
means : only private mail (P), smallest first (S), 20KB maximum (20)
T S
means : smallest first. Always private first, bulletins follow.
- Line "L" in FORWARD.SYS allows to program TNC before or after a block, i.e.
at the beginning and at the end of the forward cycle (to disable incoming
connections for instance). This line must be preceeded with a P line to
specify the port to be programmed (as for the "D" or "X" command out of a
block).
- "IF MAN" test in FORWARD.SYS file means that test will be true only if the
forward is manually reverse forced (That is with a + in F4 window, or FR
remote command).
- FWD et REJ now in EMS
- Variable $b gives the Zip code of the user.
- New set of variables. The first character is "%" instead of "$". Variables
%i %J %j %K %y are identical to $i, $J, $j, $K and $y, but give the original
date instead of the final date of a message.
- Epurmess is changed to allow the new "original date" field in DIRMES.SYS
===============================================================================
5.14g
- Routing bulletins on destination is possible with a F line in FORWARD file
like :
A F6FBB
G EU
F AMSAT
.... Will route @EU and >AMSAT bulletins to F6FBB.
- Headers of the original message are compressed in lines when using SC
command or in CP SYSOP messages.
- Import of messages accepts spurious lines between /EX and next Sx line.
- Faster callsign and BBS search in WP (if no willcard).
- HROUTE system disabled when WP validated.
- PR[V] #msg #msg : prints (or prints verbose) #msg...
- PR> [File] : redirects the printer to the named file. If file is "-", then
the printer is no longer redirected. Printer is validated. If file is not
specified, gives the file where the printer is redirected.
- Command NEW could generate two lists. Fixed.
- Default MID generated with original MessageNumber/BBS.
- Sometimes a "BIN MESSAGE NOT FOUND" occurs when the bin files was deleted on
another channel. Fixed.
