I noticed on one particular system that Canceling or Completing
the configuration wizard on a fresh install, sbbsctrl.exe would
just shut down (no error dialog or anything, likely a crash of
some kind). Instrumenting StartupTimerTick() didn't reveal anything
useful (it ran to completion).

By changing the method of launching the Configuration Wizard,
I was able to eliminate this observed problem. Now, the StartupTimer
runs twice on a fresh install (just once for a normal startup),
and the second run of the StartupTimerTick starts the configuration
wizard.

I also reverted to the previous behavior of dynamically creating
and destroying the wizard for each use. There's just too much state
information to restore if the config wizard is run a second time.

Also, removed a bunch of old Registry settings readings (v3.10/11
upgrade support) and commented out code.

For Alpha (Robbie) for use with an RLogin game door server, apparently.

Going backwards (negative) in the BBS list while using the 'C'
(preview capture) command would trigger this exception.

Also, don't enable spinning cursor while waiting for a key-press
after displaying a preview.

A message header's from_net_type can be undefined
And apparently undefined != NET_NONE even though NET_NONE is 0.
JavaScript is weird.

Thanks to Wilfred van Velzen (2:280/464) for the tip. CopyFile() reduced
the 1GB file copy test (from and to CIFS/SMB) duration from 37 seconds
to 5 seconds with very low CPU utilization!
Created a wrapper for non-Windows OSes in xpdev/dirwrap. This is where
non-Windows-OS-specific optimized versions may appear in the future,
but for now it's just the previous fcopy() implementation (using a 256KB
stack buffer). sbbs doesn't actually copy files very often, so this
isn't as big of a deal as one might assume. The JavaScript global
method: file_copy() also benefits from these improvements, so any
scripts that use it (e.g. tickit.js) will also benefit. binkit.js has
its own file-copy logic (using a 2MB buffer), so no change there.

Returns a list of publicly accessible JSON db's from ctrl/json-service.ini
(assumes the JSON service is not just listening on localhost).
Sysop can opt-out by setting json_db=false in the [fingerservice]
section of modopts.ini

Now mcmlxxix has a reason to expose his BBS to the world's fingers.

Using a 256KB read buffer for copying files (rather than one byte at a time).
Apparently calling fread() is not the same as a bunch of calls to fgetc()
after all. Or maybe it was the many calls to fputc() being replaced with
fwrite(). Or maybe it was both. Anyway, decreased the time to copy a 1GB
file from and to a Samba share over a Gb Ethernet network from 13 minutes
to less than a minute. This matters when sbbs is backing up your data/mail
base and the files are big. The mail base is locked while being backed up
and the longer it takes to back up, the longer the mail base is locked and
no mail can be received, read or sent during that time.

Define SPINNING_CURSOR_OVER_HARDWARE_CURSOR to enable this experimental
feature. I'm not sure I like it better than the way the spinning cursor
has been displayed for decades (to the left of the hardware cursor).

Breaking into a debugger, I found the task was hung in:
_lock_file(stdin) called from common_flush_all(), so the stream was locked.
Simply unlocking it resolves the problem.

This bug has been around forever and was annoying but non-serious (just
required the user/sysop to hit ENTER). So happy it's now fixed.

Call getkey() with K_NOSPIN mode flag.

msglist, nodelist, who's online, logonlist, and privatemsg.

If/when I get bbs.thebrokenbubble.com to respond to JSON-db requests
(i.e. at TCP port 10088), I give mcmlxxix's games the same treatment.
Would be nice to widely use this game data sharing feature.

Allow a section to stop the install process by setting done=true
or be the last of its install-type by setting last=true.
These changes allow us to prompt whether to use remote JSON-db servers
(e.g. bbs.electronicchicken.com) or to install/enable the JSON-db
service locally, based on the sysop's choice.

the JSON-db service is added automatically via install-xtrn.js
and nobody should be needing the FlashPolicy service any more.
