it displays a string of text and fills the background color up to the
specified percentage fo the string length. I will be using it for displaying
poll results, but it could possibly be used for progress displays and such.
The colors used are configured via the "backfill" and "unfill" attributes in
ctrl/attr.cfg.

was never used. This was intended to be a method for internationalization,
letting the sysop change which key is used as the uiniversal "quit" key.
This commit replaces most of the uses of the hard-coded 'Q' for quit wtih the
3rd charcter in the text.dat YNQP string. Some hard-coded menus still have the
'Q' key hard-coded and will need to be addressed later. The text.h YN index
macro was changed to YNQP and the JS text index variable name will change
as well.

all exported functions and data types using a 32-bit time_t (time32_t).

sbbs_t::rputs() now:
* Can accept an optional length argument which allows it to output strings
with embedded NULs if desired.
* If a call to outcom() fails, terminates and returns the sent number of chars.
* Performs Telnet IAC escaping when appropriate.
* Checks online value in while() loop.
* No longer output to log if "on local" - event scripts aren't expected to use
this function.
JS console.write() and writeln() now use rputs() instead of putcom() so that
Telnet IAC chars are escaped when necessary and saveline/restoreline will work.
sbbs_t::putcom() now returns the number of chars sent successfully.

in the "save line buffer" so that the SAVELINE/RESTORELINE macros will work
correctly again (redisplay with correct attributes).

argument and buffer and retruns an optimized ANSI sequence to generate
the desired attribute.
console.ansi() method now support this usage as well, so msgutils.js's
attr_to_ansi() should no longer be needed.

(off-by-one).

line/column counting, auto-pausing, etc.
So, sbbs_t::rprintf() and JS console.write() and writeln() are now all truly
"raw" - hopefully this puts a smile on Deuce's face. :-)
sbbs_t::cursor_right() and cursor_left() now update the column counter.

the last column with space if you use backspace to return to the previous
position.

place to do it, but may need some special handling for HTMLterm mode.
Parse columns from ANSI cursor position reports.
Request Telnet "Negotiate Window Size" option during answer since this is more
reliable than ANSI cursor position reporting (especially with terminals that
wrap cursor positioning requests).
Improve validation of ANSI cursor position reports.

Constified the arguments.
Created exascii_to_ascii_char().
Created ctrl_a_to_ascii_char().
strip_ctrl() and prep_file_desc() now takes 2 args.
strip_ctrl(), strip_exascii() and prep_file_desc() now strdup() the input
string and if the dest arg is NULL, returns the allocated and modified copy.
sbbs_t::bputs() now handles ^AZ.
Change Ctrl-A code message network exporting:
1. ^AL, ^A<, ^A[, and ^A] are always translated to ASCII equivalents.
2. ^AZ will terminate the message body prematurely if found.
3. Ex-ASCII (CP437) chars will be translated to ASCII equivalents (rather than
'*') for "ASCII Only" subs.
For import, don't allow Ctrl-AP or Ctrl-AL.
For SBBSecho:
Added support for specifying a link's address on the command-line (e.g. for
use with -h).
Mail server now strips Ctrl-A codes from message bodies for sending via POP3
or SMTP.

ESC[0;1;5;32;40m
Is shorter than:
ESC[0mESC[1mESC[5mESC[32mESC[40m
By about eight chars.

Back out last putmsg change as outchar_esc now means what it was intended
to mean (ie: outchar is in an ESC sequence)

during password entry for example.

CON_R_ECHOX and CON_L_ECHOX, then sends "\b \b"

Replace all instances of [br]puts("\b \b") with call to backspace()

This fixes once and for all the "spaces entered at password prompt are
echoed as spaces" problem.

Har.

masked space... feel free to start a debate on this as I'm not sure which
is more right.

EVENTUALLY something "right" needs to be done here.
