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. + +**************************************** +December 14, 1999 Version 2.30c Released +**************************************** + +*3 New @-codes: QWKID (System QWK-ID), INETADDR (System's Internet Address), + FIDOADDR (System's primary FidoNet address). +
