****************************************
!8 Fixed Y2K bugs in QWK, Fido, and log filenames where a 2-digit year
is used (would have used 100 in some places for the year 2000). When parsing
a 2-digit year, a 100-year window is used with 1970 as the pivot point.
e.g. "69" is assumed to refer to 2069, "70" is assumed to refer to 1970.
&4 Birthdates are still stored in MM/DD/YY format. But if a user's age is
calculated to be more than 90, then 90 is subtracted from the calculated age
e.g. A user born in 01/01/00 is assumed to have been born in 2000, not 1900.
*3 New @-codes: REV (Synchronet revision), CONN (current connection),
LOCATION (system location), TNODES (total nodes on system),
HOST (same as CPU), CID and IP (Caller-ID or user IP addr).
*1 Down-arrow at a pause prompt now moves down one line at a time.
*1 'Q' at the Pause prompt aborts the display (same as 'N' or Ctrl-C).
*1 TAB (Ctrl-I) now works like CR (enter) when at string prompts.
i.e. you can now "TAB" from the NN: prompt to the PW: prompt in a
full-screen/ANSI login.
!4 Creating REP packets that contained messages with "Replied-to" numbers
larger than 7-digits (some OLRs apparently send large bogus numbers in
this field), would corrupt the packet. When attempting to import such a
corrupted packet into an SBBS system, the error message was garbled.
!1 Only the last line of an inter-node telegram was logged to the system
activity log. Now the entire telegram is logged.
!1 High-priority input is no longer assumed when in RAW input mode (Ctrl-Z).
!5 Guest account ('G' restriction) would save the real user's name in the
database (if asked during login via logon module). If the user then hungup
and called back and logged on as "New", they would be unable to use their
real name (if duplicate real names are disallowed in SCFG). The real name
field is now cleared upong logoff (for 'G' restricted users).
!0 If a user hung-up without fully logging on (during the new user process,
for example), an inter-node message was sent to all active nodes saying that
he/she logged off (even though there was never a "logon" anouncment).
!1 The number of posts read statistic was not being properly reset for QWKnet
node ('Q' restricted user) calls.
!0 If EXEC_XTRN was called from a loadable module or shell, the node status was
not automatically changed back to "User at external program menu".
!3 SBBS4OS2 created an invalid EXITINFO.BBS (created with DORINFOx.DEF). Would
cause doors that used this file to behave strangely or fail to function.
&4 Changed NOPEN/NODEDAB retry counter from 500 (which could take several
minutes on some systems) to 50 (more like several seconds).
!0 Hitting 'A' from a local node WFC no longer tries to answer a call.
