v0.39.9		29-Jan-2004

	general:
		Changed first time installation to install mbcico itself again
		to handle incoming telnet sessions at port 60177. The program
		mbtelind is obsolete, this was a temporary hack.

	mbcico:
		Added experimental code for telnet outbound connections. This
		code is not compiled by default so don't worry or bother.

	mbsetup:
		Clearing the working message is now only done by the keyboard
		read function.


v0.39.8		26-Jan-2004 - 29-Jan-2004

	warning:
		Avoid this version, binkp compression is buggy.

	libcommon.a:
		Fixed compiler directive for Linux in execute function.
		Code cleanup.

	mbcico:
		Fixed binkp file resync.
		Binkp now only tries to compress data frames.
		Fixed binkp master timer reset points, this should make session
		timeout work.
		Code cleanup.
		The filelist function didn't add files from fileboxes.
		Added refresh heartbeat in binkp driver to prevent broken
		sessions after 10 minutes.
		Added more logging to investigate the tty hangup problem
		Fixed zlib (un)compress buffersize init.


v0.39.7		14-Jan-2004 - 26-Jan-2004

	remark:
		Calling points is available now, but I know in the past that I
		changed it to allways call the boss. That was from the time 
		that mbtask didn't exist. It is possible that something is
		broken now, please report such situations.

	general:
		In all sources replaced the usleep function with the msleep
		function. The usleep function will become obsolete someday.

	libcommon.a:
		In execute and execsh on Linux systems sync() is called before
		and after running the external program to make sure diskbuffers
		are committed.
		Added a milliseconds timer.
		Before and after execute and execsh a 200 ms pause is inserted
		to prevent (un)archiver and other errors.

	mbcico:
		Removed the check to disable calling points. 
		Added a check to see if we get a URL to call other systems.
		If nodelist info fails, increase error counter in steps of 10.
		Merged tmail patches from Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski.
		Fixed nodelocks during session handshake after many years. The
		problem showed only when mbcico was used together with a mailer
		on a different OS. When a aka is busy, the aka is now dropped.
		When all akas are busy, a session is impossible and the session
		is refused. Thanks to Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski for finding and
		documenting this bug.
		The total session avg cps is now corrected with the two seconds
		session close delay time.
		During binkp handshake increased the timer of the receiver to
		avoid handshake timeouts.
		Added PLZ compression option to binkp.

	mbfido:
		Removed sync calls that are now in execute.

	mbfile:
		Removed sync calls that are now in execute.

	mbdiff:
		Removed sync calls that are now in execute.

	mbtask:
		Will call points if a call method is available.
		Merged tmail patches from Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski.

	script:
		New scripts are installed with an extension of .new, you need
		to check yourself if you can use them to replace your own
		possible modified scripts.
		Updated the hatch script to abort if it's not configured.
		If the user skips to hatch a file, the questions for the magic
		and replace command are not shown anymore.

	examples:
		Changed Dutch newfiles template file.

	html:
		Added upgrade procedure.


v0.39.6		11-Jan-2004 - 14-Jan-2004

        upgrade:
                Check setting 7.x.3.18 for each node. If you know the node uses
                Irex between 2.24 and 2.29 then set this to Yes or you won't 
		have good sessions without files with this mailer. Sessions
		with Irex that do transfer some file are Ok.

	mbcico:
		New binkp/1.1 driver. Check the upgrade for your Irex links.
		In case of troubles please report these. 
		In the mbcico directory are 2 files, binkpold.c and binkpold.h
		if they are renamed to binkp.c and binkp.h you get the old 1.0
		driver back. After some weeks I hope to remove these 2 old 
		files.
		Added support for T-Mail fileboxes, partly written and info
		provided by Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski (2:480/127).

	mbout:
		Added support for T-Mail fileboxes.

	mbtask:
		Added support for T-Mail fileboxes.

	mbsetup:
		Reorganised menu 1.4 screen 1 and 2.
		Added settings for T-Mail filebox paths in the second screen
		of menu 1.4.


v0.39.5		24-Dec-2003 - 11-Jan-2004

	general:
		Upgraded to new released ftscprod.008
		Added setup option per node to disable the binkp/1.1 protocol.
		Added new binkp/1.1 driver, the code is disabled by default
		and can only be used with the right configure option.

	common.a:
		Allows node locking with zero bytes lockfiles created by some
		other OS when enabled in the setup.
		The attach function now checks if a file is already attached.

	mbcico:
		Binkp code cleanup.
		Allow m_file command in binkp during file transfer in progress.
		Fixed a segfault when a session failed.
		New binkp/1.1 driver, not compiled by default.

	mbout:
		Poll, remove poll and request failed to points which had no
		point directory in the outbound, now the directory is created.

	mbfido:
		With scannews after a GROUP command when authorisation was
		asked we did not perform a login.

	mbsetup:
		Added setting in menu 1.14 to allow zero bytes lockfiles
		created by another OS.
		Added setting in menu 7.x.3.18 to disable the use of binkp/1.1
		protocol per node.
		Corrected a spelling error (thanks Vince).
		Removed global setup screen for the ftp server.

	mbtask:
		Changed slow ping logmessages from 5 to 10 seconds.
		Removed default settings for the ftp server.

	script:
		Fixed NetBSD init script
		All init scripts now clean the ~/var/run directory and start
		the bbs allways so that the bbs will try to start after a power
		failure.

	html:
		Removed the outdated ftsc documents, www.ftsc.org is the place
		to look for them


v0.39.4		08-Dec-2003 - 24-Dec-2003

	general:
		Added French language file created by Francois Thunus. This
		translation is not yet complete.
		Cleanup in main makefile, added help.
		Revised configure and all Makefiles for better support of
		linking with threads libraries.
		Changed endian tests using the configure script.
		Changed compiler flags for threads.

	upgrade:
		If you didn't change anything of the language defaults then
		delete /opt/mbse/etc/language.data and run mbsetup to create
		a new language.data including the french setup.

	libmsgbase:
		Changed the fix in JAM to prevent the copy overwrite. This may
		also fixed the message renumbering bug introduced with previous
		version.

	mbsebbs:
		A lot of small fixes for problems found with valgrind.

	mbsetup:
		Added default record for french language.

	mbtask:

v0.39.3		26-Nov-2003 - 08-Dec-2003.

	general:
		Since this version Posix threads are being used, please let
		me know if this doesn't compile on you system.
		All Makefiles do not strip the binaries anymore, the binaries
		are stripped during make install only. This allows to run the
		not yet installed binaries under debuggers.
		The configure script has a --enable-debugging option so that
		all code can be compiled to let it run under debuggers. Not
		usefull for production systems.
		This version had a lot of testing using valgrind. Most errors
		were minor problems.

	libclcomm:
		Fixed a small (not harmfull) buffer overlapped copy detected

		running of mbtask, only leaks during program stop.

	mbpasswd:
		Fixed a small memory leak.

	script:
		Changed all init scripts to allow the slower stopping of mbtask
		For the latest Slackware distros a setup script for pkgtool is
		added. Most other distro's don't need this.


v0.39.2		21-Nov-2003 - 26-Nov-2003

	general:
		Incoming telnet mailer connections are handled using a telnet
		proxy daemon: mbtelind.

	common.a:
		A small fix in printable log function.
		Added a safety check for the TCP registrate function to prevent
		stale TCP/IP mailer counts.

	mbcico:
		All internal references to tfido port changed to telnet port
		because we now default to telnet port 23 for ITN calls.
		Incoming calls using the -t itn commandline parameters are not
		supported anymore, they need to go via mbtelind.
		Outgoing telnet doesn't work!

	mbtelind:
		New program, a incoming telnet proxy daemon to accept incoming
		calls and transfer these via port 60179 to mbcico that will
		handle the call in raw ifcico mode.

	mbtask:
		Restored ITN protocol.

	SETUP.sh:
		Changed installation for incoming mailer telnet connections to
		install mbtelind.

	examples:
		Updated file menus, added View File command.


v0.39.1		22-Oct-2003 - 21-Nov-2003

	general:
		Make dist now creates bzip2 archives.
		Two html pages are now under control of configure.
		The configure scripts shows the use of zlib compression for
		Hydra.
		Completly dropped support for ITN connections sice this is so
		buggy on different implementations that this is impossible to
		get it right to connect to every system.
		You may need to remove the lines for itn support from 
		/etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs or /etc/xinetd.conf.
		Also check mbsetup 1.14.3 and remove any ITN flag in there.
		Updated all documentation to validate html makeup.
		Added installation support for Gentoo Linux, contributed by
		Capit<69>n X.

	upgrade:
		If you don't have any personal archivers, then remove 
		~/etc/archiver.data and start mbsetup to recreate the
		archivers setup.

	mbsebbs:
		Fixed a bug where the bbs goes into a loop after idle timeout
		during login (and maybe in other situations).
		Fixed chat debug logging to only the debug.log file.
		Posted netmail messages now support CC: lines. The CC: lines
		should be the first lines of the message in the format:
		CC: Michiel Broek 2:280/28
		The Carbon Copied messages are marked with original sender.

	mbfile:
		When the areanumber with the adopt command was not given, the
		help is displayed instead of trying area 0 that doesn't exist.
		With the file move, adopt and import command if the file 
		already exists in the destination area, the action is refused.
		Added mbfile sort <area> command. Files are case insensitive
		sorted on the long filename. After sort the indexes are rebuild.
		Fixed some logging that should have been debug logging.

	mbcico:
		Added hydra rpos id -1 indicator for compression stop that
		Alex and I agreed to use. A FSP document will be written.
		Compression log fixed and added percentage compression.
		Added dynamic optimum sendbuffer size with a maximum of 8192
		bytes with an average size of 2048 bytes.
		Removed ITN support.
		Changed two inbound logmessages to debug level.

	mbfido:
		Changed two logmessages to debug level.

	mbsetup:
		In node editor, fixed error message when there was no more
		room for new nodes to point to the right menus.
		Added support for tar compressed archives.
		Changed all fidonet domain names to maximum 8 characters so
		that we now follow the FTSC specs.

	mbtask:
		Removed support for ITN.

	script:
		Added install scripts for Gentoo.

	lang:	Two new language prompts, 21 and 22.


v0.39.0		09-Oct-2003 - 22-Oct-2003

	general:
		Added menu setup switches for doors: Singe user door and
		hidden from lists.

	mbsebbs:
		The whoson list displays the doorname if set in the menus.
		If a door is single user and the door is in use, the second
		user can't start the door but gets a message about this
		situation.

	mbsetup:
		Added menu settings for single user door and hide door. Added
		setting for the door name in the menus and removed the never
		used password for the menu (Was only present in the setup).

	mbcico:
		Added Hydra zlib compressed data blocks using the idea of Alex
		Shakhaylo. This is experimental and looks compatible with
		mailers that don't support this option. The compression will
		transfer some files about twice as fast as without compression.
		Changed signal handlers to better detect broken TCP links.
		Added logging to show compressed bytes and switched to compress
		level 9 compression instead of 6.
		Prepared hydra for large compressed data blocks. In the next
		developmement version we will actually start using these
		large blocks, this change is to give all beta testers the
		chance to upgrade.

	lang:
		Added language prompt 20.

	examples:
		Updated English and Spanish menus with the new door settings.
		Fixed some spelling errors in the Dutch templates.



v0.38.0		26-Dec-2002 - 03-Oct-2003

	upgrade:
		Note: if upgrading from a 0.37.8 or 0.37.9 development version,
		then no upgrade procedure is needed. All others read the next
		carefully!

		A bit tricky to upgrade and start using the new debug logfile,
                follow the next steps exactly!!
                1.  Download and install the source
                2.  Run "./configure"
                3.  Run "make" (and do not install yet)
                4.  Run "mbstat close"
                5.  Backup /opt/mbse/bin and /opt/mbse/etc.
                6.  Run "mbstat close"
                7.  Kill mbtask, mostly "kill `/sbin/pidoff mbtask`" will do.
                8.  Run (as root) "make install" to install the new software.
                9.  Make sure you are user mbse again.
                10. Start mbtask manual, "mbtask"
                11. Run "mbsetup", enter menu 1, exit, save and close.
                12. Wait one minute.
                13. Run "mbstat open"
                After this is done the first time, restarting mbtask can be
                done as usual by running the mbsed init script. If something
                doesn't work (you get socket errors), it is important that you
                kill mbtask during software versions swap. All software must
                be of the same build.
		Check settings menu 1.5.21 for maximum allowed logins.
		Check setting of menu 1.14.15.
                Remove ~/etc/archiver.data, start mbsetup menu 3, leave and
                save. This updates the archiver view contents commands.
                After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/maptabs and it's contents.
                After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/bank.data.
                After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/safe.data.
                If you want, download and install the nu-door and safe-door
                packages.
                In mbsetup 1.17.3 check if you have the XX,CM,IBN,IFC flags,
                which indicates your TCP/IP capabilities. This is only for
                systems that use TCP/IP, dialup systems should only have
                the XX,CM flags. Important: only protocols that you place
                in this entry are supported, so XX,CM,IBN will let your system
                only call binkp nodes.

	general:
                The nodelist lookup functions are now in a separate library.
                This will give us easy implemtation of new nodelist formats
                and flags.
                Introduced a new file, ~/etc/nodelist.conf, this file will
                be used for nodelist lookup behaviour.
                The current looked-up nodelist strcuture has an extra field,
                the URL how that node must be contacted.
                Debug logging is now in a separate file, the normal logging is
                now only in the normal logfiles.
                Changed all Linux references into GNU/Linux.
                Changed the address of the FSF in all sources.
                Removed memwatch debugger.
                Changed all gif and jpg images to png images.
                Added a setup switch for the nodes for selecting the wrong
                binkp long filenames escape method for Argus and Irex nodes.
                Activated the productcode for mbse that is published in the
                ftscprod.007, MBSE now has an official product code.
                Changed the website address in several sources.
		Added switches for binkp CRC mode in global and node records.
                Added check for inconv.h in configure script for UNIX98 
                character set conversion. (Not yet used).
                Removed external (sysop) chat, chat paging times and other
                chat stuff that is of no use anymore. The sysop shows his
                presence by running mbmon. The mbchat program is obsolete.
                Menu item 22 is added, this is user chat session.
                For chat (and sysop/user paging chat) works now using the
                mbtask daemon.
                In several messages handling functions the international 
                charset translations are removed because of several bugs. They
                will be replaced by standard library functions. Right now the
                messages are 8 bit clean and there is no translation on the
                gateway. The maptabs are removed.
                Menu items 22 and 23 are removed, menu 319 is added. You may 
                want to replace the default txtfiles and menus, upgraded
                versions are in the distribution but are not automatic
                installed.
                Documented menu 318, was present for a long time, just not in
                the html docs.
                The main Makefile now sets each txtfiles directory to mode 775
                to allow doors to write ansi/ascii screens.
                Removed the safe cracker door, this is now external.
                A new developer/translator joined the team, David Gonzalez.
                The settings to suppres some IP protocols (global and nodes)
                are removed, this behaviour must be set using nodelist flags 
                configuration.
                Debug logging for mail and news now have one setting, the M.
                Nodelist debug logging now uses the N character.
                In some makefiles the chown user.group syntax changed to
                user:group to follow the new POSIX syntax. Please let me know
                if you are using an older distribution that complains about
                this. This was needed for FreeBSD 4.7.
                Added Dutch template macro files. Updated English and German
                template macro files. Please remove old ones before installing.

	common.a:
                Added a set of general purpose timers.
                Node locking tests for non-stale lockfiles older then 6 hours.
                Added general code for prgram locking.
                The getheader function changed to support stone-age .pkt's.
                If the packet year has a Y2K bug, the year is fixed. This is
                only cosmetic for logging.
                If the zone info is missing, the zone is guessed from 2d aka
                matching against the system aka's. Then all mail in the .pkt
                file is also assumed to be in that zone if there is no zone
                info in the messages also.
                Guess what, these packets do still exist in Fidonet, it took
                5 years to find them! If you want to check, call 5:5/0
                Fixed compiler warning in network code.
                printable function now escapes all non-printable characters.
                In rfcmsg function the Cc: header is now treated as any other
                header to prevent a SIGSEGV when the headerline is empty.
                Removed charset conversion/translation.
                Added integer endian byteorder swapper, usefull for non-Intel
                hardware.
                The poutCR function for the bbs never did send a newline.
		New function to get the real case of a filename.

        nodelist.a:
                Added experimental support for IP nodes lookup using a default
                domain method. This is not the final implementation yet!
                Update, this works now as described in a FSP-xxxx that is in
                discussion in the FTSC. This will also work for current
                practice.

        msgbase.a:
		Moved messages link from mbmsg program into library.
                Resolved a buffer overflow problem with kludges larger then
                512 bytes.

        mbcico:
                Compiled IEMSI code back in, starts mblogin which is not IEMSI
                ready yet. A user with an IEMSI terminal can from there do a
		manual login.
                If doesn't do Multiple Batch mode anymore against binkp/1.1
                mailers.
                File resync during receive finally works.
                In binkp we don't send a empty dataframe after a file anymore.
                Completly changed the files inbound receive, all files are now
                first stored in a unique per node temporary inbound directory.
                Only after a successfull session all received files are moved
                to the final inbound directory. 
                Another goodie is that this is more safe on busy multiline
                systems.
                A light improvement in session handshake setup timers.
                Added EMSI handshake timers, this gives a more relaxed EMSI
                handshake.
                Set the EMSI receive failure count to 20 instead of 6, we can
                now even accept buggy maindoor sessions and still display a
                banner.
                For FTS-0001 sessions the mail password was used instead of the
                session password. Also improved the password check.
                The product code was not entered in the FTS-0001 packet headers.
                Revised some state tables in the binkp session setup stage.
                Fixed a possible buffer overflow in the binkp driver.
                Implemented CRAM rev.4 change in binkp driver.
                Binkp now sends M_BSY to the remote when the bbs is closed.
                Better logging of BSY and ERR messages.
                The binkp transmitter does now escape the unsafe filename
                characters. Method is selectable in the setup.
                The binkp receiver now does process escaped filenames.
                The binkp protocol now supports MD5 crypted passwords.
                Removed some heavy debug code from ttyio functions to increase
                throughput.
                Standarized raw ifcico protocol logging.
                Some minor changes to the raw ifcico protocol, better error
                checking and a check for buffer overflow.
                YooHoo transmitter fixed for transmitting 16 bits product
                codes.
                With binkp and EMSI sessions double received remote aka's are
                filtered.
                When calling ITN nodes, the default port is now 23.
                Call setup changed and uses now the nodelist lookup URL.
                Changed raw ifcico debug logging.

        mbout:
                When a poll was removed, the outbound was not rescanned.

        mbfile:
                Added program locking to prevent that more than one mbfile can
                run at the same time.
                When a file was deleted for age or download age, the 8.3
                filename was not removed from disk.
                A better check againts empty upload dates when purging files.
                Also added a log when this happens. Please report if you see
                any of these.
                In the import function several bugfixes for reading files.bbs.
                Fixed upper/lowercase filenames bug with import.
                Move old files to another area failed, only the symbolic link
                was moved.
                Prepared for multilanguage html pages creation.

        mbfido:
                The rfc to ftn gate now drops the headerlines starting with
                X-Spam- because they are only filled with advertisents and are
                very large (upto 1200 bytes which is somewhat larger for a
                fidonet kludge).
                Stone age packet support, see common.a.
                Due to a configuration error in some system using some tic
                processor mbfido did crash.
                Now it will log this and continue processing ticfiles with the
                risk of sending files back to the owner of that faulty program.
                Added the same check for Seenby lines.
                In a scanned netmail destined to our own local UUCP gate the
                useless X-FTN-INTL and X-FTN-TOPT kludges are no longer 
                inserted in the message.
		Finding the inbound tic file now uses the new filecase function.
                Removed all code for charset translation.
                In areamgr/filemgr lists the messages are forced splitted when
                the force limit is reached in the middle of a group listing.
                The nodes statistics are expanded with flow counters.
                If echomail is accepted in a unsecure area or the unsecure
                commandline option is set, a violation is logged as warning.
                Removed some debugging tests and log messages.
                If a tic file was received in uppercase, during import in the
                bbs the LFN is converted to lowercase.
                Promoted some normal debug logmessages to heavy debug messages
                in the outbound queue packer.
                Echomail from other zones showed the address of your own zone.
                Added logging when other errors are found.
                At zonegates, the seenby lines were twice stripped.
                Another patch to compensate for sysops that pack pascalnet
                files in fidonet packets and send these messages into the world
                without zone information.
                Made the incoming tic files complete case insensitive, mixed
                case is now processed. If such file is received, the LFN will
                be set to that name.
                The magic unpack command now uses the mail unpack command
                instead of file unpack command so that paths in the archive are
                junked.

        mbsebbs:
                When a message is saved, the messages in that area are linked.
                Added check for maximum simultaneous logins.
                Removed debug logging for userrecord i/o
                During virusscan of file uploads, the mbtask timeout timer is
                set to one hour to support very long scans.
                Changed logging during user login.
                Fixed bugs in QWK mail upload processing.

                Fullscreen editor code cleanup, debug messages removed.
                When entering a message, the first character of the subject
                line was capitalized.
                Fixed recognition of tar.gz files.
                Added menu function display file.

                When a new message is saved in a local area, the mailout
                semafore is not set anymore.
                Offline reader, the reply packets are now handled complete
                case insensitive.
                Dropped BlueWave v2 format completly, obsolete format.
                The BlueWave and QWK download packets can have kludges, this
                depends on a setting in the userbase.
                In downloaded netmail, if message comes from a point, the FMPT
                kludge is allways included in the message.
                Added some forgotten checks for a valid QWK board name.
                Lots of code cleanups in the offline code.
                Added menu 320, toggle Offline Reader Extended Info.
                Added new control code: control-U + 8, this displays YES or NO
                for the new Extended Info setting.
                The display file function now displays the ^U8 code.

                used.
                Removed all old chat code that worked on the tty device.
                Added chat client site. If the sysop responds to the page
                request, the user is dropped into chatmode in the sysop
                channel as soon as the user does nothing (ie in a menu or still
                in page mode).
                It will now refuse to up/download OLR packets when the system
                bbs id is not set in the global setup.
                When a reply is made on a message in a area which allows
                aliases, the user is asked to use his alias.
                When a reply is made on a message in a newsgroup and your
                systems has a permanent mail domain the email address is used
                as from name.
                Removed timebank and nextuser doors.
                Added editing of user's signature file. New menu item 319.
                If the sysop is exporting a echomail message he will have the
                option to save to his private directory or to the rules
                directory. If saved to the rules directory the message will
                have the filename of the area tag. Normal users can only export
                to their private directory. Sysops: now you can start 
                collecting area rules!
                New menu 221, display arearules. This function tries to find
                the arearules in the rules directory and if found displays
                this to the user.
                Fixed whoson list to display user real names and handles again.
                Fixed send online message to send to user real names, handles
                and unix names again.
                The menus are machine endian independant.
                Maybe removed a bug where the bbs sometimes crashed during
                mail reading.
                Fixed some minor things to the door.sys file.
                Normal users were allowed to delete messages of other users,
                now only the writer or those with sysop access to the area are
                allowed to delete messages.
                Finally wrote Delete Message from the menu (menu 206).
                Removed the safe cracker door.
                Changed to use the new nodelist lookup methods.

        mbsetup:
                Made menus editor work on non-intel platforms.
                Added support for debug logging in menu 1.3 and removed the
                mbtask debug switch from menu 18.
                Import and purge oneliners now log what is done.
                In the nodes setup a switch is added to fallback to the wrong
                binkp escape method.
                Added menu entry 1.5.21 for setting maximum allowed logins.
                Added program locking, only one mbsetup can run at the same
                time.
                In menu 1.14 added global switch to disable binkp CRC32 file
                transfers.
                In menu 7.x.3 added a switch to enable binkp CRC32 file
                transfers with this node.
                In menu 1.14 added a switch to turn MD5 crypted passwords off.
                The edit archiver has now an edit line for the view archive
                commands.
                Added protection against wrong database sizes depending on
                global settings.
                When moving a message area to area zero mbsetup doesn't crash
                anymore.

                Removed setup for the safe cracker door.
                In menu 8.3 showing long option data lines, the lines were too
                long for a 80 characters display.
                Removed global flags No-IBN, IFC and ITN from the setup.
                Removed nodes flags No-IBN, IFC and ITN from the setup.
                removed del/rubout/bs keys logging.

        mbtask:
                Added support for debug logfile. Dropped the debug switch for
                mbtask logging, this is now allways on.
                On new installations sets max logins to 1.
                Now uses standard locking in ~/var/run
                When idle, it now reports the time to the next event to be
                seen in mbmon menu 1.
                With startup it now shows the tty flags in the log.
                Remove some semafore debug messages.
                Fixed compiler warnings in network code.
                Safer logging of user log messages.

                to the users.
                Arcmail for non-CM nodes and Txx nodes is now sent during the
                node's opening hours or ZMH.
                Fixed a bug where one of the nodelists was node closed with
                each outbound scan and was causing mbtask to stop functioning
                after a few days.
                After forking the daemon, the stdin, stdout and stderr are
                reopend to /dev/null.
                Zero the daily status counters finally works again.
                Added experimental code where tossing mail is not started as
                long as there are mailers running, but not longer as 30 mins.
                This should make the whole system less nervous.
                Modified this code, didn't work, the toss was always started
                at once.

        mbdiff:
                If unpacking a diff file fails, a second attempt is done after
                a sync and one second delay.

        mbmon:
                Updated software info screen.
                Added program locking, only one mbmon can run at the same time
                to prevent troubles with chat and sysop available.
                Reports sysop available or left the system when mbmon starts
                or stops.
                Reports a page from a user in row 3 of the screen (but doesn't
                do chat right now).
                Adjusts its screensize if the environment variables LINES and
                COLUMNS are set.
                (in ~/.profile add the line "export LINES COLUMNS").
                The show lastcallers now adjusts the number of lines available.
                The show server clients screen now adjusts to the number of
                lines available.
                Added chatserver client, there are 2 modes, one id general chat
                and the other is respond to a users page request where the
                channel is automatic set.

        mbuser:
                Added program locking to prevent that more than one mbuser can
                run at the same time.
                Added nopper code during pack.

        mbaff:

                run at the same time.

        mball:
                Added program locking to prevent that more than one mball can
                run at the same time.

        mbmsg:
                Moved message linking to msgbase library.
