New Features and Changes

Miscellaneous

All files have been styled up to look better
The protocols have been given the prefix 'P/' and the ML-files the prefix 'K/' ('K' as in Kernel)
All 'C/', 'K/' and 'P/'-files have versions-numbers attached to them, to simplify updates
There are now 4 different sprite-cursors to choose from, named 'SPRITE_x', where x is a number between 1 to 4
The 'CONFIGURE'-file has been cleaned up

C/APP MOD

The application-file has been made a lot shorter (a lot of unnecessary code has been removed)
If you choose to have "Separate ASCII-menus", the file 'APP/A' will be loaded instead of 'APP' if an ASCII user applies for an account
Support for more Modem-speeds has been added
The prompts in the file 'TEXT' which only were used in the 'C/APP_MOD'-file has been incorporated in the code instead, to free memory

C/BBS

The Fastloader-support has been removed
The Call-back validation support has been removed
The Phone# completition has been made optional
Carrier-Drop Checking and One Post/Call Checking has been added as options
The Multi-Colour BBS-feature has been removed, at least temporarily (The ML-code that supports it is still left in the text-parser, though)
The Main-menu now uses Quick-Keys (One keypress for each option, and no need to press [RETURN])
A Toplist-viewer has been added
Some of the commands have been moved from the Main-menu or the Mail-menu to a special User-Parameter menu
'<' can now be used to go to the previous Sub
'+' and '-' can now be used to navigate in both the U/D's and the Subs
It is now possible to move directly from the Subs to the U/D's by writing '^' or 'UD' and to move directly from the U/D's to the Subs by writing '^' or 'SB'
A severe bug, which could corrupt the Protocols when sending a mail, has been fixed
Support for the SuperCPU has been added
Support for Auto-Posting Uploads has been added
There is now support for Auto-Logoff when Up- or Downloads have been completed
A Chat-request now offers the user to leave feedback if the Sysop is out
Chat-request is now available from the Subs and U/D-area too
The 'h' command in the main-menu has been removed (use '?' or [RETURN] instead)
Some small colour-bugs has been fixed
The text "-" has been replaced with "Nothing" as description if the user doesn't supply any information
An option to view the directory in the U/D-area with estimated Download-time instead of Upload-date has been added; toggle with '='
All files that are new to the user are now marked with a "v"-sign
The Join/Unjoin Sub feature has been removed
Pressing [RETURN] at Wait-screen will now take you remote-mode instead of log you onto the BBS
The "Show Disk-Status" option can now be toggled from the Wait-screen
The BBS now performs Garbage-collection every time it returns to the Wait-screen
Support for customised, two lines high, delimiter-lines has been added
Some of the initialisation has been moved from the BASIC to the ML to make start up quicker
The Macros have been renamed to Oneliners (as this is what they really are) and as a consequence, the files 'MACROS' and 'MLOG' have been renamed into respectively 'ONELINERS' and 'OLOG'
The "Insert System-disk" request has now been removed
All menus are now affected by the "Separate ASCII-screens"-option
An option has been added to turn all logging off, for people with EXTREME problems with disk-space. It is NOT recommended to use this feature, as you lose the opportunity of backtracking errors
Support for Military (24-Hour) time format has been added; now you can choose between the two in the 'C/BOOT'-file
A bug, which could cause the BBS to hang if no modem was connected, was fixed
The subs now supports 'Rx' with more than 4 digits.

C/BOOT

The file-loader has been fixed to report errors when loading, and won't continue loading the next file before the one before is loaded in due order without bugs
'C/BOOT' now gathers all data about the version#'s for the different System-files and writes them to the file 'VDATA', to simplify updates and bug tracking. Two lists are created; one for the Boot-disk and one for the System-disk. If those two are the same, the same files will be listed twice... (Sorry about that one, but I didn't bother to do a routine that checked such things out). This list is updated each time you reboot your BBS, regardless of if you have made any upgrades or not, to make sure no files are missed out. This file can also be useful to locate missing, old or misplaced files
The time-calculation bug has been fixed and the routine been heavily optimised
Support for entering time in Military (24-Hour) Format has been added for us Europeans who can not understand what's so funny about the 12 Hour AM/PM time-format
Before loading the main-BBS, the Boot-file now asks you to insert your System-disk
All configuration was moved to the separate program 'C/CONFIGURE'.
The Access-Group editor and the Prompt editor has both been removed - they were just a waste of space, as they were both totally worthless
The files 'ASCII_TAB' and 'P/PUNTER' are no longer loaded on boot-up, thus you need not have these files on your Boot-disk

C/CONFIGURE

All configuration was moved here from 'C/BOOT'
Config options for the new features that C*Base v3.3 adds were added, and the options for the removed features were removed
The # of variable screens has been limited to 8 instead of 9, to simplify a transition to an ML-routine

C/SYS SETUP

Converters for old format v3.x 'USERLOG' and 'STATS'-files have been added
Support for the new features in C*Base v3.3 has been added
Some unnecessary code has been removed
The manoeuvring in the menus has been simplified

C/TOPLISTER

A completely new Toplister-engine to C*Base
The BBS puts the modem on hook while updating the Toplister
Support for SuperCPU & 2MHz mode when called automatically
VERY fast sorting (Even though it's only a modified O(n²)-routine)
Support for approximately 600 users (If that isn't enough for you, I PROMISE to write a special routine to fix that)

Protocols

The X-Modem1K protocol has been bug-fixed
All the protocols have been rewritten to communicate with the main-program via an interface page rather than via hard poking directly into the protocols
All protocols are now called from a jump-table in the beginning of the protocol rather than with jumps into the main-code

Kernel Files

The Dongle-protection has now been removed from the code
All the ML-files have been resourced into Assembler and rewritten HEAVILY to gain maximum speed
The MCI Header-command has been modified and enhanced with 2 new commands which modify the looks of the header-lines
The MCI-parser has been made much faster; commands often used has been given priority to those more less common, amongst them the '@'-commands were given top priority
The ANSI-routines have been made faster and improved a bit
The bug in the Message-Maker when undeleting, which caused one char from the old text to remain, has now been fixed
The Message-Maker has been made faster
The bug that caused the "Press Space" prompt to bug out when you paused the scrolling, has now been fixed
