VERSION 3.99 SERVICE RELEASE 3 - MAY 16 2015
--------------------------------------------
 
NOTE: Ignore any events that appear as Overdue when upgrading to this
      release. After ignoring them, the events will continue to function
      as scheduled.
 
This minor release of D'Bridge fixes a couple of things that some of
you may consider to be trivial, but along the way an important stability
and function update was done to BinkD. This should be treated as an
important upgrade for an existing D'Bridge system.
 
- Fixed an apparently long-standing fundimental design flaw in the way .FLO
  files are managed in the BinkD subsystem. This problem affects all
  versions of D'Bridge prior to this one when it comes to sending inter-
  zone mail (Same FTN domain but the zone changes)
 
  Before installing SR3, you may want to take the time to first ensure that
  the Queue is empty and all transactions have been sent out. Once complete,
  you may wish to shutdown BinkD and completely erase the subdirectories in
  DB\DATA. Restart the BinkD system so the directories are "rebuilt", then
  install SR3. This will ensure going forward that the subdirectories in
  DB\DATA are clean.
 
  WARNING: DO NOT erase any subdirectories if BinkD is running or there are
           pending transactions.
 
- Resetting the counters on a BinkD Queue entry already sent no longer sends
  the mailer into a bizarre tailspin.
 
- Numerous corrections to the code were done for Multi-line operation and
  several logic-handling scenarios were slightly improved.
 
- The Twit filter in the editor can now block based on a system address.
 
- The TOPT kludges in the internal editor should be no longer mangled.
 
- Uncompressed *.PKT files are now really uncompressed... duh.
 
- Quickdial is quicker now... (don't ask)
 
- Split-screen chat during D'Bridge-to-D'Bridge dialup mail sessions (IZE
  protocol) follows the times specified for "Audio alarms" in that you
  cannot be paged outside of the time specified.
 
- The F1-Help Screens have been slightly updated.
 
- Some of the D'Bridge setup screens have been slightly revised.
 
- The copyright text "banner" can be changed on incoming mail sessions
  on dialup modems under BBS configuration... just to satisfy the morbid
  strange fascinating desires of those of you who insist on having a
  "totally customized" experience for BBS callers.
 
  NOTE: It is not recommended to pass Ansi screen codes or anything outside
        of alphanumeric ASCII in the banner. Please use the "BBS Loading
        File" for this.
 
- The message archiving should be fixed (Roger)
 
- The EULA reflects changes to Canadian law dealing with installing
  computer software. You agree that I reserve the right to change the
  contents of outbound packets to replace the letters E and R with smiley's.
