argument which specifies that the avatar should be drawn at the top of the
screen.

Added the AddAdditionalQuitKeys() method, to add additional key characters to quit out of the meu in addition to ESC.  It takes an array of key characters as strings.  For example:
lbMenu.AddAdditionalQuitKeys(["q", "Q"]);

from corruption during concurrent operations. Although the list file is not
open shareable, I was observing corruption on Vertrauen when multiple sbbslist
tasks (e.g. verification and maintenance) were running concurrently on
different systems. The .lock file method is crude, but is working to protect
the list from concurrent opens of any kind (read or write).

when using features that support avatars (e.g. reading msgs, listing files,
listing BBSes in the BBS list).
When used in the terminal server, the cache is located in bbs.mods.avatar_cache
otherwise it's located in the scope of the load()'d library. Applications must
use the lib's read() method to take advantage of the cache. The other lower
level functions (e.g. read_localuser, read_netuser) by-pass the cache on read
but do update the cache with the result. So, generally, avatars should be only
loaded from disk one time during a session/logon.

- SMB_EMAIL
- SMB_HYPERALLOC
- SMB_NOHASH

- SUB_TEMPLATE
- SUB_MSGTAGS

Use more verbose names for global msgs.cnf properties (don't mimic the
scfgdefs.h names).

'this' is not scoped correctly in private function, make a 'self' instead and use it. (For ragnarok)

address (if valid), for use with sbbsimsg.js.
Added 'include_self' parameter to read_sys_list() to control whether or not
the local bbs is excluded from the returned list (for chksetup.js use).

ctrl/modopts.ini file. Used by scripts performing frequent node activity /
user presence actions.
Thanks Ragnark for pointing out that I had forgot to add this file to CVS.

Implemented the "active" special sort order.
Added support to the remove_dupes() method for the verbose option.

specific BBS entry on this page, e.g. http://synchro.net/sbbslist.html#your_bbs

Include service descriptions in the html output, if/when they exist.

property file (data/user/*.ini), like sbbsimsg.js used to before rev 1.30 when
I moved the send_msg() functionality to this lib but failed to add the property
file update logic. Fixed.

save() methods return true (on success) or an error string. No throw()'s.

this eliminates unnecessary redundant load/execution of scripts that were
already loaded (faster, leaner, better).

numeric fields will be displayed as blank.
Sort numeric fields by attempting to convert to a number first (due to bugs,
some numeric fields are sometimes strings), if the value is an invalid
number (or numeric string), the sort value of the field is -1.

Define max length of min_rate, max_rate, port, and protocol as well.
Remove the max 'storage' value definition.

web_users() doesn't expect a 'browsing' argument.

Removed TCP/IP services not supported by BBS clients (e.g. SyncTERM) from the
list (e.g. ftp, nntp, smtp, binkp, irc) and added "modem".
This list is now used by the syncterm_list() function to filter which entries
will be written to the exported syncterm.lst file.
Also added duplicate section name detection and better names for multiple
services per BBS (using service description and port as well as protocol)
to syncterm_list().
Added support to imsg_capable_system() for an over-ride (imsg_capable).
Changed several info-level log messages to debug-level (e.g. for every list
open/read/write).

(mostly migrated from exec/finger.js).

tickit.js version pulled from $ID string in .js file.
tickit version used in Created by line.
tickit version used in Path line.
utc time stamp of processing used in Path line per FTS-5006.001.
per area uploader.
address selection:
   per area aka matching in From and Path lines.
   per area source address in From and Path lines.
   global aka matching in From and Path lines (original addressing method).
   global source address in From and Path lines.
   main FTN address from system.fido_addr_list (preferred but last in line with
the above overrides).
can use domains on linked systems' addresses in sbbsecho.ini again.
can use domains on any address in tickit.ini.
domains are NOT currently written to the generated TIC files to avoid creating
possible problems for other TIC processors.
force replace is available globally and per area in the ini and not only the
command line.

of the user_age_and_gender() method.
Changed options.web_inactivity_timeout to just options.web_inactivity to be
more consistent with the existing modopts.ini [web] option naming.

You may now request the value of a single modopts.ini key value (optionally
specifying a default option value), via:
    optval = load({}, 'modopts.js', 'modname', 'optname');
or:
    optval = load({}, 'modopts.js', 'modname', 'optname', default_optval);

This usage will return just a single option value rather than an object
containing properties reflecting all the options in the [modname] section.
The pre-existing usage is still supported (and preferred in most cases).

(default: 'browsing' - to match web UI verbiage).

Provide better example of constructing/using User objects.

Added more comments and use 'var' when defining a new variable
(though 'const' might be better here, don't want to risk that change atm).

numbers beginning w/0 are interpretted as octal by parseInt() by default.

0-byte .msg files are normal and do not mean a msg is waiting for the user.

Added properties to web_user object: do_not_disturb and msg_waiting

derived from a portion of ecwebv4's ndoelist.js.
TODO (echicken, help!): fill-out the 'action' property from the web session and
double-check on the logontime value (can we get this from the session blob?).
