█ D'Bridge EMAIL System █
Copyright (c) by Nick J. Andre, Ltd.

VERSION 3.99/SR34 JULY 21 2018
------------------------------

WARNING: If you are upgrading, please take a full backup of your existing
system prior to installing this version.

This is a minor release... Bug fixes only.

- If D'Bridge is ran in a multi-line setup, a serious problem could occur
with the system Queue leading to possible data corruption.

- A problem with the DBRIDGE.PTM semaphore should be fixed now.

- Problems with Archive/Sent-flagged NETmail should be fixed now.

- A very slight adjustment for PRESERVE in the Echomail Area editor.

- The problem with Local/Private Echomail areas corrupted during upgrades
should be fixed now.

- The file DBRIDGE.LNR (Last NETmail Received) is created when a NETmail
arrives addressed to you. It is just one line of text, for example
"From John Doe to Nick Andre".

- Echomail scans using ECHOMAIL.CTL should be lightning-fast now.

- Reworded some of the help system to avoid confusing newcomers.

- It is rare that I would remove a feature, but, "Unpacked semaphore" is
no longer an option in CONFIG-PACKET/MAIL. This is because there is no
logical reason to have it, when DBRIDGE.NMW is created when NETmail is
processed or DBRIDGE.EMW for Echomail.

- Various internal code cleaned up.

- At the last minute, I added ten new commands to DBUTIL. These work
exactly the same as DBUTIL AREAFIX/FILEFIX... except now:

DBUTIL AREAFIXLIST - Also sends an area list.
DBUTIL AREAFIXOVERRIDE - Overrides any security defined for the system.
DBUTIL AREAFIXLISTOVERRIDE - Same as the above two commands.
DBUTIL AREAFIXRESCAN - Systems newly added to an area get a rescan.
DBUTIL AREAFIXRESCANLIST - Same as above but also send an area list.
DBUTIL AREAFIXRESCANOVERRIDE - New areas rescan and override security.
DBUTIL AREAFIXRESCANLISTOVERRIDE - New/Rescan, list and override.
DBUTIL FILEFIXLIST - Also sends an area list.
DBUTIL FILEFIXOVERRIDE - Overrides any security defined for the system.
DBUTIL FILEFIXLISTOVERRIDE - Same as the above two commands.

- Minor updates to the documentation and F1-Help system.

If you want to save some "code" space... in todays world, I do not think any of
us use or appreciate all of the screen effects when unpacking arcmail. That should shave a little free codespace up for you - along with saving a couple micro-seconds on save screen, do effect, process arch, restore screen.

* I noticed the effects tonight in detail as I am sorting all of the SDM (*.msg) echos in the host while DOSBox was tossing what just came in. (I almost
have the flag files working in DOSBox - had to add an API call the host can talk to, telling DOSBox FAT to rescan... so db3 can see new semaphore files.
