1.  New RENEMAIL in testing.

2.  Close Mail Box/Mail Forwarding -

      A. Both of these procedures have been cleaned up with
         slight verbage changes and a reduction of variables
         required.

      B. A user with access to the User Editor can no longer
         setup a user with mail forwarding back to the same
         user.

      C. Mail can no longer be forwarded to a locked out user.

3.  Private Message Read -

      A. This procedure has been cleaned up with slight verbage
         changes and a reduction of variables required.

      B. The Message Listing will now display one screen at a
         time vice scrolling to the prompt.  Entering a "?"
         will redisplay the message listing starting at the
         first message. Pressing  will display the
         next screen of messages and or start back at the
         first message. A valid message number must be entered
         in order to exit to read the message.


4.  Lightbar support added to File and Message Area Listings.

5.  Removed "Ram Drive/MultiNode Path" from system config.  This
    option is where the "TEXT" file path will be for looking
    for all language files.  The default will be \BBSDIR\TEXT.

    If your multinode path was not set to \BBSDIR\DATA then you
    must move these files to that directory.

    An updated RGSCFG.TXT file with the new option will be
    released as well, or you can edit it yourself and recompile
    the strings.

    An update program will more than likely be made to make the
    change quick and simple.

6.  Quite a few more strings added.    Added a few more MCI 
    codes for the new strings.

     %A1  - LowFileArea
     %A2  - HighFileArea
     %A3  - LowMsgArea
     %A4  - HighMsgArea
     %FS  - File New Scan On/Off
     %MS  - Message New Scan On/Off
     %FP  - User File Points

7.  Batch Uploads:

      1.  Duplicate files can no longer be added to the batch upload queue.

      2.  The number of files that can be added to the batch upload queue
          is now limited by the "Max Batch Uploads" setting in the System
          Configuration.

      3.  You will now see SysOp Log entries when a user adds, removes,
          clears or lists the batch upload queue.

      4.  Changed batch upload listing header/footers from '-' to '=' to
          match header/footers in other listings.

      5.  The minimum/maximum batch uploads can now be between 1-255.

      6.  You can now force a user to batch upload all files in the
          batch upload queue.  This is controlled by the System Configuration
          setting "Force batch uploads at login".


          Now, this system has been revamped so that all files added to the
          batch upload queue are stored in the external file "BATCHUL.DAT"
          and "BATCHUL.EXT".  These files are updated by adding, removing,
          clearing or uploading batch queued files.


8.  Batch Downloads:

      1.  The minimum/maximum batch downloads can now be between 1-255.

      2.  You will now see SysOp Log entries when a user lists the
          batch download queue.

      3.  Removed a section of code that would reaccess the *.DIR file to
          obtain the file information to a add a file to the batch download
          queue.  The file information is now passed from the download
          command.  Of course, numerous variables were no longer required
          and were removed.

      4.  Removed a section of code that would reaccess the file to be
          downloaded to obtain the filesize of the file for a ratio check.
          The filesize is now passed from the download command.  Of course,
          numerous variables were no longer required and were removed.

      5.  Previously, files were added to the batch download queue and were
          stored in memory and in the external file "BATCHDL.DAT".


9.  File Points:

      1.  The file credit/debit system has now been changed to a standalone
          file point system.  As a result, a new variable was added to the
          user record for awarding/removing file points.  No internal change
          was made to how these file points are awarded or removed.  Initial
          file points can be awarded thru the New User Configuration and/or
          the Validation Editor.  Some minor verbage changes were made
          thru-out the code to accomodate this change.


10. Light Bar Support:

      1.  You can now toggle lightbar support on or off in the System
          Configuration for the file area with the option "Use file
          area lightbar" or for the message area with the option "Use
          message area light bar".

      2.  Menu commands were also added to allow the user to toggle file or
          message lightbar support on or off (Assuming these options are
          available - See above).

       ***   File Area LightBar Support:  CmdKeys = OP, Options = 31
    
       ***   Message Area LightBar Support:  CmdKeys = OP, Options = 32

11. Message Bases:

          1.  In the message base editor, hitting X will allow you to
              edit the DEFAULT base that is created in Renegade.  This
              will allow faster additions into the message areas by
              allowing commands to changed to what you use the most.
              ie:  Max Messages can be defaulted to 200 instead of 100,
              The tagline can be set, the path can be set, etc. etc.


12. File Validation:

          1.  Corrected a few places that utilized the SysOp or FileSysOp
              access level instead of the global ULValReq System Settings
              as in other instances to determine if a file should be
              validated or not.

13. Files.BBS Processing:

          1.  Reduced the total variables required to process a hatched
              file.

          2.  A successful upload will now show "Hatched" instead of
              "Added" in the SysOp Log Entry.  As before, you will
              still see "Duplicate" if the file already exists or
              "Missing" if the hatched file can not be found.

... The truth, however, is not pertinent to the issue.
