      The "DOS" ARS keyword has just been a "false" trigger since v3 (1999) but · b03b6511
      rswindell authored
      I have a new use for it in the v3 Terminal Server, it now follows the
      "NO_DOS" option in the [bbs] section of the sbbs.ini file. So if you have
      multiple Win32 instances of sbbs (like I do), but only some of them
      support DOS programs, you can now use this ARS keyword to enable/disable
      access to a program based on the existance of DOS support. For example,
      I have some 16-bit DOS message editors where I had the ARS set to
      "WIN32", but on my 64-bit Windows instance of sbbs (vert.synchro.net),
      16-bit DOS programs aren't supported while on my 32-bit Windows instance
      (bbs.synchro.net) they are. So I needed a good run-time check for whether
      DOS programs were supported or not and this old ARS keyword seemed the
      right fit. For Linux builds, this keyword will only evaluate to true if
      built with the USE_DOSEMU option.
      This is only true of the Terminal Server - use of "DOS" ARS keyword in
      other servers and services will still just evaluate to "false".

      do nothing - if the console abort flag is set.

      This is a bit of a hack for Nelgin, who noticed that novice menu mode · f61e7d93
      rswindell authored
      would not always auto-redisplay menu files when the user hits 'Q' (or 'N'
      or Ctrl-C) at auto-pause prompts:
      
      When displaying a "message" (e.g. file), if the console abort flag is set
      before a single line has been displayed, clear the abort flag. This most
      likely means a pause (hit a key) prompt was automatically displayed due to
      a clear screen code in the message/file and the user hit 'Q' or 'N' or
      Ctrl-C at the prompt. In this special case, don't treat that as an
      "abort message" command and keep displaying the message/file.
      
      Once one or more lines in the message/file have been displayed, then the
      behavior is the same as before: a console abort (even as a result of an
      auto-pause prompt key) will stop the display of the current message/file.

      Fix-up js_recvline() based on infinite error/log message report from Nelgin: · 13d22506
      rswindell authored
       term 0087 TLS ERROR 'Unexpected <Unknown type> (24) packet, expected application_data (23)' (-1) popping data
       message repeated 492 times: [ term 0087 TLS ERROR 'Unexpected <Unknown type> (24) packet, expected application_data (23)' (-1) popping data]
      
      When using TLS with a JS Socket object, if there was any kind of data error,
      the recvline() method would return a blank string rather than null/undefined.
      nntpservice.js just loops when it receives a blank string, so this caused an
      infinite loop (with disk-filling error log messages).
      
      First change: if no data has been received (i == 0) and there's any kind of
      receive error or timeout or disconnection, just return null. And not undefined,
      but null (!) like in v3.15 (before the great JS engine update of 2000-mumble).
      Also, there appeared to be a JS_RESUMEREQUEST call missing in the TLS error
      return case - so that's another bug fixed.
      Commented on the magic return values for js_sock_read_check()
      and js_socket_recv().
      Simplified js_sock_read_check() return value a tad: let the caller decide if
      they want to do something special based on the value of 'i'.
      Added some comments to make this code more readable.
      
      We are now no longer treating the different error return values (0 and -1) from
      js_socket_recv() special in this function, but we dont' treat them special in
      any of the other calls in this file/object either, so that seems to be the
      norm.

      rswindell authored
      Deuce really wanted to pass 1000 as a value here (use 1 instead). I don't
      know if this was an observable problem or not, but it certainly *looks*
      like a bug.

      Incremented version to 3.06 · 9eaf77be
      rswindell authored
      Added version for Bill McGarrity: for each linked-node, a preferred
      local address (AKA) can be specified to be used as the source address
      when creating packets destined for that linked-node. If no local address
      is specified, the previous (best match) logic is used: find an AKA that
      has the same zone and net as the destination address, if none found, use
      the first address with the same zone.

      js_CreateUserObject(): if passed an internal user_t representation, the · 7cee046f
      rswindell authored
      user data is thusly cached - set the 'cached' property member to TRUE. This
      prevents an unnecessary re-read of the user file and the leaving the user file
      (user.dat) open, at least for JS contexts that contain a "user" object. I don't
      think this explains the "too many open files" errors, but it explains at least
      *some* number of the user.dat open file descriptors.
