1.9f

Added PRIVATE=ALL to areas.bbs.  This forces all messages to have
the PVT flag set.  Very useful for "FALKEN_EMAIL" conference.

Added <Area>.dny for Squish and falken.dny for *.MSG areas.  This
is an area specific file similar to .ACC which keeps users out
of the conference.  (Maybe they have to pay abused it before).

1.9e

Make sure you delete areas.dat/idx after each version!
Fixed scanning btrv calls.

V1.9d

Added "v" mode for sysops in main menu. (verbose mode)

V1.9c

Fixed the key's for areasbbs btrv().

V1.9b

Added "OUTBOUND" to config.dog for the new tossers.

Moved Btrv calls away from Falken, to try and speed up access.


V1.9a

Added falrdoor.exe which is falrenum to run under Falken.

Fixed entering %'s in a message.

New parameters on falrdoor:

     falrdoor fido
            "fido" indicates where areas.bbs and config.dog is located.

Falrenum is now mcuh better at synching fuser and *.MSG high message read.

V1.9

NETMAIL now asks if you want the Node number for the sysop name
that was in the nodelist, instead of assuming you want it.

Added INTERNETGATE to config.dog.  1:1/31 is default you can change it.

FALKEN echo is currently on 1:214/50 which is listed as a private node
and in xlaxnode.ctl:  (3am - 6am EST POLL).

PHONE 1:215/50   1-209-582-4793

V1.8

You must run comparea.exe in your areas.bbs directory.  This will create
a area.dat and area.idx file which EchoReader now uses to speed
up access considerably.

V1.7h

Squish areas now begin at 1, *.MSG begin at 2.  Removed all references
to setting high water mark.  Even setting it to 0.


V1.7g

Squish areas now will try and create area. Then error.

Remember that our areas.bbs is not compatible 100% with
Squish's areas.bbs.  You should make sure that the area path
begins with a "$", and has no spaces between "$" and path.

  Correct:
      $c:\falken\msg\falken
  Incorrect:
      $ c:\falken\msg\falken


V1.7f

Too many bugs to count in the new squish! Went back to 1.0!
Fully compatible.

V1.7e

Opus Format Date is the default since it is the reular date format.
The /O still works, plus added /S for SEAdog format dates.


V1.7d

More robust makefiles. Using the API for 1.1 Squish... In all places.


V1.7c

Added PRIVATE=YES/NO to areas.bbs.  Signifies if private messages are allowed
to be entered. Some echos don't allow privates.  When using
echoreader as a private message base set PRIVATE=YES.

Added better area locking for writing new messages.  Should be faster,
plus fixed a bug in SQUISH concurrency.

V1.7a

Released Version for Falken 7.0. Use old Squish 1.01, since the "Squish Out"
is not working in 1.2!! Need to contact SJD.

V1.7

Recompiled for Squish v1.1 SQSH_110.LZH...

V1.6d

Whoops. Disregard ability to read msg #1.

Hidden should now work in squish too.

V1.6c

Ability to read msg #1 in SQUISH.

Faster SQUISH reading, open area once per reading instead of for each
message.

V1.6b

SQUISH High Water Mark fixed as needed.


V1.6a

Since SQUISH areas normally don't have a directory for them,
the falken.acc and welcome.rip/ans/txt in the area directory does not
make much sense.  Changed these to:

    *.MSG            SQUISH
    falken.acc    -> <Area>.acc
    welcome.txt   -> <Area>.txt
    welcome.ans   -> <Area>.ans
    welcome.rip   -> <Area>.rip


V1.6   (SQUISH!)

In areas.bbs add a "$" to the message path to indicate that area
is SQUISH format is the path and root (like $\msg\cecho).  Squish
should be much faster than *.msg.

When posting a message, now uses exact time of post.

For Squish, use new falrenum. You MUST use SQPACK.EXE (part of Squish)
to pack area (if you are just using Squish you may stop using
falrenum!).  SQPACK will not not use Echoreaders area.bbs, but
is flexible.  Use SQCONVER.EXE (included with Falken EchoReader to
convert your *.msg to Squish!).

SQCONVER \fd\msg\c_echo *.msg \fd\c_echo squish 1

Add or change in areas.bbs:

$\fd\cecho   C_ECHO  1:261/1180

V1.5

Added LOCAL EchoRdr support in areas.bbs!

V1.4

Scanning from main menu.

V1.3c

ASCII scanning no screen full of CRs.

V1.3b

V1.4 Falrenum. Instead of chdir, now just point to the file with the
path.  Might be a bit faster, and should work across drives.

Added Subject "Re:" to replies.

V1.3a

The /O opus date now uses standard FrontDoor/Opus/Maximus dates:
   "05 Feb 94  18:04:52"
Should be no need for any other formats.

When entering out of zone netmail, will add INTL kludge line for
tossers!  Out of zone mail should now work.

Line Feeds - 0x0a (\n) - (ignored)
Hard CR - 0x0d (\r)
Soft CR (for Word Wrapping) - 0x8d (141) - (ignored)

V1.3

New falrenum.  Increased speed.  By default user is "unsubscribed".
Also user can subscribe off main menu now.  No scanning if user
never entered echoreader.  Red for subscribed areas, Blue for un-subscribed.

User should now be able to delete own messages before they are sent.

Smartdrv V5.0 helps performance! (MS-DOS 6.2)

V1.2e

New NFIND, now does area codes.  Can now quit the scan in middle of scanning.
New continous mode... Dump all new messages. 'q' to stop.

V1.2d

Press ENTER to Continue only on RIP screens now.

V1.2c

Get the high water mark when entering EchoReader.  Performance hit
at beginning, but faster throughout.  Let me know if unbearable.

When read NEW no more "Press Enter to Continue".

EchoReader uses Fido date format (not Opus!) be default when
entering message.  (Some tossers can convert from one to the other).
Not knowing the history, you can use Opus date if you set /O on the
command line.

Reading /SCAN does not have to rescan.  Mallocs memory to do this.

V1.2b

Added "RECV" flag getting et when you read a message to you.
Can now reply/next/quit from scanning.  Scan now shows more header info.

Maximus BBS adds Soft_CR (0x8d or 141) into a paragraph.  Will strip them
out when reading.

V1.2a

The Message Areas are now sorted before displayed to user.
The user is now notified when areas are changed, and the user list
   is kept up to date automatically when sysop add/changes and deleted
   areas!  Just change areas.bbs and everything is taken care of.

V1.2

*****
Delete OLD fidousr.idx and fidousr.dat!  You must start over.  Added
new scan feature and ability to select and deselect areas for the new scanning.
*****
New falrenum.

Added fal_echo /scan to look for new messages to you.

V1.1h

Fixed marking of messages.

V1.1f-g

Fixed word wrapping.  Users should set # characters per line at 80.
Origin lines now max length of 79 (echomail standard).

V1.1e

Can now mark all areas read.  New nfind which much more powerful. nfind
can be used as a BBS list almost!  Better NETMAIL.

V1.1d

The NODE information in the menu only shown for sysops.
Ricke Ellison at 1:260/343 added as BETA.

Fixed a small hwm problem if users hwm is same as area's hwm.

Added "welcome.txt", "welcome.ans" and "welcome.rip" for entrance to
areas. Just put the file in the *.MSG area.

V1.1c

Entering message number would move high message read for user past the
high water mark. Fixed.

V1.1b

Fixed falrenum bug.

V1.1a

GEcho has a bug in it. Explained in fido.doc.
