for the name(s) of authors, specifically searchable (and maybe even
separately indexed).
I don't suppose that most sysops would make use of this ability, but I
certainly wouldn't want to dispense with the author index in a library
catalog, and I think that it would have its uses in an extensive file base,
too. It would help locate various versions of software that might exist, and
identify files that have different names but are actually the same content.
If a caller has found a good file that he likes, he could easily find
anything else by the same author.
Authors themselves never mind seeing their names in lights :-)
If the flexibility you envision in Synchronet v.4 would allow such a feature
to be configured, I would certainly enjoy seeing what it could do.
Thanks again for all your work!

Last night during maintenance for some reason Usurper maintenance locked up.
(Two NPC teams fighting was the last message in the window) Anyways, when it
locked up, it ran the CPU at 99% all day, so the BBS crawled when you
connected.
Is there any way to set maintenance items up so they are killed if they run too
long? Once I got home and ended the process, everything was speedy again.
Barring the BBS doing it, is there some way to set up WinXP to do it?

I tend to think of file_id.diz as being obsolete -- mostly due to the fact
that I rarely see it in archives which have been downloaded from non-BBS
sources. Creating a "new" archive description standard is one way to go,
but there also exist solutions that are already in use. The first one that
comes to mind is the "Portable Application Description" (PAD file). It's a
standardized XML format file used to describe the software, ownership,
distribution status, etc, etc. Because everything is tag-based you get to
choose what fields your users see. Several software repositories (such as
Simtel.net) have moved to using PAD files for upload because it allows their
upload indexing process to be automated -- that is the older version of the
software on the server can be replaced by the new version.

Or a more complex file (e.g. twitlist.ini) that could contain expiration dates
