02/21/96 - Initial limited v0.55 release.

02/21/96 - Well, that version seemes to have flopped for folks
           using points as the NODE or FTPFEED entries.
           Fixed this.. Minor Bug in my UNIT....

           Fixed a problem where the DeleteFileSent AND TruncateFileSent
           ^aFLAGs are set... I'll Display a warning message, and default
           to TruncateFileSent to be safe. (Somebody think this needs to
           be different?)

           Fixed the ^aVia Kludge Line at the end of the messages in the
           packet...(I hope.. Seemed okay to me before...?? I use PeekPack
           to view packets.. Do you guys have something different?)

           Now Log Number of files attached to a message, as well as the
           Message From & To fields.

           If you experience irratic behavior with the KILL/SENT Attribute,
           please let me know what editor you are using... Or what program
           generated the NetMail message. Either bit 7 of the attribute is
           on or off.. it can't be both, but the editor or program might be
           backwards.. I got the info from the FTSC Specs....
           If you see this.. And you ran with the -T(est) option, check the
           message with your Editor.. (I use FM.EXE or D'Bridge's Editor..
           The Status: line should show it as KILL/SENT or not... (Alt-S
           in FM.EXE).

           You can also check the FLAGS... In FM.EXE it's ALT-X.. In D'Bridge
           it's CTRL-K (Kludge Lines).

02/22/96 - Sent a "Special" copy to Hardy, since I never heard from you
           others.

           This version (v0.56b) fixed the KFS/TFS Problem.. He tells
           me it does. :-)

           Version 0.57 -
           Fixes more point addressing issues.
           Thanx for those test messages.. They really helped!

           Fixed the Logging and display of WhoFrom: and WhoTo:, was always
           displaying WhoFrom!...

           Fixed the ^aVia line again.. Now I figured it out.. Was moving
           a string to an array, and was getting one character off in the
           move.  This was hosing the EndOfPacket stuff.... PeekPack seems
           to be more happy... (Again, thanx' for those test messages! They
           really helped me out, since I could see messages from different
           programs...i.e. AllFix, RA/(Whatever you used to toss), FM.EXE,
           Etc...)

03/11/96 - v0.60 Released to testers!

           There are some MAJOR changes here.. Please remember to use
           -D Debug  and -T Test options

           Added the beginnings of the FD Style Log.. Need much more work
           here!

           Runtime errors are trapped. Review FD2FTP.ERR for information if
           an error occurs.  Hopefully this, as well as Range Chacking ON
           will keep Hardy from finding a hung system. :-)

           Multiple (<= 50) FTPFeed Configurations are in! (Routing is not!)
           This version has a MAJOR change in the config file! Please review
           the sample config file FD2FTP.CFG for info on how to set yous up.
           You can have up to 50 FTPFeed BEGIN/END Blocks in one config file.
           I have NOT tested this with greater than 2 blocks.. There MIGHT
           be a problem if you near the 20 file handles share establishes by
           default..

           The temp packet FD2FTP.$$$ is no longer used.  With multiple
           feeds the temp file naming is ###$$$.%%% where the format is as
           follows:
                            ### = Zone Base-36
                            $$$ = Net Base-36
                            %%% = Net Base-36

                            This MAY be a problem for POINTs... (Hardy?)
                            The file should be POINT.### where ### is the
                            point number.

                            If you played with D'Bridhe this may look similar
                            to the DB Queue naming. :-)

                            If you use the -D debug option, you'll be told
                            the filename.. It'll never change once configured.
                            If FD2FTP bombs.. Look for these files and rename
                            the to something.pkt.. that's all they are.

           I didn't get a chance to update the DOCS for this version, I
           wanted to let you guys test it!  The config file is heavily
           commented, so that should be enough information to get you going.
           Note that the proposed routing info is included, but commented
           out.  The SEND_CRASH and SEND_IMM kludges are NOT implemented in
           this version.. Tell me if we need those still.. (I assume yes).
           The IGNORE_DIR kludge is NOT implemented yet.. DIR message ARE
           packetized, IF the message is addressed to the SAME address as
           your FTPFeed. (We had a LOT of discussion about this in the
           mailing list..)

           Messages marked CRASH or IMMediate are ignored.. Thus allowing
           your mailer to deliver the message via land-line. REMEMBER,
           messages with the DIR flag ARE sent, IF they are addressed to
           your FTPFeed.

           Initiated the FD2FTP Mailing list.

           Remember:

            Errorlevels:

            0 = Everything went ok, something was moved
            1 = Warnings exist, Something was moved.
            2 = Everything went ok, nothing was moved
            3 = Everything went ok, but can't move to outbound directory/name.
                Leaving packet in current directory!
       *  245 = Error in BEGIN/END Matching for FTPFeeds.
          253 = Unable to create/build temporary packet file.. Nothing Done!
          254 = Configuration file incomplete!
          255 = Configuration file missing!

03/12/96 - v0.61

           Hardy found problem with USING config option.. Rather a problem
           if NOT using it.... Fixed.

           F_Attached files were copied to the wrong location...
           That was a carry over from the single feed version.. Not the error
           but the variables associated with it.. Problem should be fixed
           now.

           Fixed Message number padding.. now allows 9999 messages! :-)

03/12/96 - v0.62

           Still no updated Docs... Review the new config file for changes.

           Un-needed crying/attention getter removed! (Trying to move temp
           packets that never got created!) Shouldn't do that now.

           Added additional Logging options... -V (Verbose (Debug) Logging)
           command line option. -D displays DEBUG info -V LOGS it!

           Added -H command line option.. (Help on options..)

           Added to the Debug info.. the Message Attributes. CRASH, IMM,
           F_ATTACH, KFS, TFS, DIR.

           Added some kludges to allow customization on how messages are
           sent out!

              By default, DIR messages addressed to the FTPFeed address are
              sent... IGNORE_DIR tells FD2FTP to ignore messages with DIR
              markings... (Yeah.. You can turn it off John <Grin>)

              By default CRASH and IMMediate messages are NOT sent!
              SEND_CRASH and SEND_IMM will tell FD2FTP to send those type
              of messages out via FTPmail.. The choice is yours...
              Most folks will not use these options.. allowing the mailer to
              use Ma Bell for those types of messages.

              LOCKED Messages are NOT sent!

           Changed some internal parsing of the config file... FD2FTP now
           should not care if you end your path(s) with the '\' or not.
           (Internally, if you DO put it there... I'll remove it! <Grin>)

           Minor cosmetic changes... You tell me if you can tell what they
           are! :-)

           Crital errors cause an errorlevel exit of 89..
             (If you 89 it, isn't it trash? <Grin>)

03/14/96 - v0.63

           Fix problem with LARGE messages.. Message size shouldn't mater
           now! (Thanx' for the 68k Message Eric!)

           Changes Config KEYWORDS:
              NODE now is ADDRESS (Although NODE will still work)
              USING is now USE_AKA (Although USING should still work)

           Security update! :-)
             You can now specify the Packet Password to use for EACH FTPFeed.
             This will help where even though the FTPFeed has an account for
             you, they still utilize FTSC Style Packet Passwords!
             You can have a password as long as you want, but FTSC Specs only
             allow for the first eight characters...

           More MINOR cosmetic changes.... Will work on the LOG file tonight.

03/15/96 - v0.64

           Fixed ^aFLAG miss-interpretation.... It's more selective now.

           Log Style changed! Should now be Fully FD(/IM?/MD?) Style!

03/20/96 - v0.70

           Fixed LOCKed messages.. Was Looking for wrong FLAG, should be
           "LOK".
           Also, FD marks LOCKed messages as Read Only....

           Updated the documentation to match the current release options.

           Releasing was First Official "Wide Beta"!!

04/02/96 - v0.71

           Got my Taxes done.. now back to work! <Grin>

           Fix problem of erroring when there are no messages in the NetMail
           directory.

           Fixed problem of not correctly terminating the packet file...
           (Forgot to put the 2 additional nulls at the end..
            Thanx' Bruce B.!)

04/05/96 - v0.72

           Got word back that there was still a problem... Usually between
           the End of Message and the Via: FD2FTP Line... We'll now remove
           that null in there so things look better..

           Added outbound File Size info to logging. (FAttach/Packets/Etc..)

04/07/96 - v0.80

           More minor bug fixes...

           ROUTING is now working... Check the config file for useage, or
           better yet.... Read the docs! <Grin>

           Happy Easter!

04/08/96 - v0.80b

           Minor bug fix.. Most folks didn't find this a problem, but one
           individual did have a problem, so, it's fixed. :-)
           (Netmail scanning routine......)

04/14/96 - v0.81

           No one else responded with any bug reports, so I'm gonna send
           this out to the world as a wide beta and see what happens..

07/25/96 - v0.82

           Messages from "ARCMAIL" will no longer be placed in packets
           and sent to FTPFEEDS. This could be a problem if somebody is
           routing ArcMail (You shouldn't be! <Grin>), if it is, let me
           know.. I'll make it an option.  This also fixes a problem if
           you are using FD2FTP for GIGO packing... I do, and those
           pesky messages were causing GIGO's fileserv function to kick
           in everytime I had outbound NewsGroup/Mailing list messages
           in ARCmail form go out. On top of that, I was informed FrontDoor
           itself doesn't send packets with messages from ARCMAIL as the
           sender.. Only the attached file gets sent... So I'll comply.

           Problem with copying an attached file to the FTP-OUT directory
           even if the file existed should now be fixed. FD2FTP will NOT
           delete the message (or mark it SENT), and will try on the next
           run.

           New Option for FTPFEEDs.. These MUST be within the BEGIN/END
           Block.

           NoKFS will tell FD2FTP to NOT KILL the attached file even though
           the NetMail message attributes indicate to do so.

           NoTFS will tell FD2FTP to NOT TRUNCATE the attached file even
           though the NetMail message indicates to do so.

           Please be careful with these options!! They are only here due to
           a request.... NOT because they should be used!! I just want this
           program to be as flexible as possible based on end-user requests.

           Registrations are slow... Are you folks using this program? Or
           am I wasting my time working on it? <Grin>

           Support for the D'Bridge version has STOPed.. Much like D'Bridge
           itself, unless there is a need, and registrations pick up.

12/??/96 - v0.83C

           Fixed problem with NULL Arcmail attach mesages.
           Seems to fix the problem for most folks....

03/03/97 - v0.84

           Fixed problems with sharing violations when NetMail is LOCKed.
           Also fixed mis-understanding with the standard. I thought there
           should be a "LOK" in the ^aFLAGS: field as well as the message
           being marked READ-ONLY (Found THAT out later). But I made a
           NetMail message READ-ONLY, and then viewed it in FD's editor
           (FM.EXE) and it said the message was LOCKed! So FD2FTP SHOULD
           now properly deal with that!

           FD2FTP SHOULD now be a better house cleaner!  If it finds old
           TMP files laying around, instead of complaining and exiting,
           it should now properly terminate the TMP packet, and move it
           to the appropriate outbound, then continue with normal execu-
           tion. This should be a welcome feature! :-)

           Tried one more time to tweek the NULL message problems...
           MOST folks say it was fixed, but it re-appeared on MY system
           with the new Mail Tosser I am using for my new BBS (BigTed).
           I've worked a lot with Neil and Paul to get BigTed where it
           needs to be, but I think their NULL message is a slight bit
           different from other tossers, so let's see if this fixes it
           ME as well as not breaking it for others! :-)
