                 *** FILEMGR WHATS.NEW / BETA Change LOG ***
==========================================================================

 The following is still on the TODO list, and is not working yet:
 
   - Keep files option, delete files in areas by number or age.

 PLEASE MENTION THE RELEASE DATE / VERSION NUMBER AND RUNNING PLATFORM 
                          WHEN REPORTING BUGS!

050308:  
110208:  From this release (v0.80.01) the registration/shareware key has
         been removed. 

         FM_DESC now uses FILEGATE.ZXX instead of FILEBONE.NA by default 
         but you can still specify the filename.ext to be used.
         Filemgr: Fixed bugs within log file Active line is more accurate and
         header line gives full version number. name of .tic file given on
         unknown area error. Extra changes to help allow to transfer compilers
         from TP to Free Pascal but still a lot of work to go, i.e., the assembler
         code has not yet been touched.

         Fmsetup: fixed up a number of bugs including: release and hatch should
         now be working. Dates that are displayed and entered are now Y2k and 
         correctly alligned. Reg key code remarked out so no longer applicable.

         Documentation: The manual has had a major overhaul and hopefully is 
         now easier to read and reflect closely with the software. The release
         notes and the readme docs made up to date with help in setting up
         the s/w for running and to compile it using Turbo Pascal.

 011203  Filemgr has been tranfered to Open Source on sourceforge.net
         and at 2:250/1, also released beta 0.80 which should be the same as
         the version last released around 1996.

 041095: This is the last beta released before the v1.0 version!
         The official (non-registered/shareware) version will be
         hatched within 1 or 2 weeks in the 'FILEMGR' file echo, 
         along with a lot of extra utils. Make sure you have a
         link to this 'FILEMGR' file echo!
         At the same time the (non-public) registered version will
         be hatched in FM_BETA. This registered version requires a
         new key file to run! Make sure to read the upgrade notes
         on how to upgrade and how to receive a new key!

         FileMgr bills where getting the default mail status instead
         of the message mail status. Fixed.

         Fmsetup 'pack' or 'index' now correctly checks and set the
         the FMBUSY.NOW semaphore file.

         Fixed a bug in the freespace routine, which reported strange
         values on very large drives.
         
         Added a filearea path to the IMPORT.XYZ file.

         FileMgr now creates an ANNOUNCE.BAK file before announcing.

         Fixed the duplicate file announces bug.

         The Control-Z key to shell to dos in FmSetup now also works
         in FileMgr's fullscreen hatch...

         Fixed a bug in the filefind routine (with ra 2.0x filebases)
         and made the filemask search a lot quicker.

         When hatching files locally, the description in files.bbs or
         filebase will now be updated, even if the file was already in
         the correct directory and/or listed in the files.bbs/filebase.

         Instead of %PAUSE and %RESUME in the areafix function, %ACTIVE
         and %INACTIVE can now be used also.

         When the areafix function receives an unknown command the
         help message is sent automaticly.

         Fmconv now supports maximus bbs v3.0 and concord 0.01 bbs.

         Fixed a bug in the exception nodepath. When multiple nodepath
         exceptions where used, FileMgr only recognized the 1st. Fixed.

         And fixed a lot of other small bugs.

 130695: The next version of FileMgr will probably be the pre-release
         of the public version 1.0, so please make sure you report
         every bug which is still present in this version!!!

         FileMgr now can do File Averaging/Volume control! Now you
         can properly manage the volume of files a node gets each
         time he polls! Large file hubs can easily have more files
         for nodes then they can deliver in one session/poll slot.
         In the nodemanager you can specify how much Kb's a specific
         node may have on hold totally. Values are 0 to 65535. Everytime FileMgr
         tries to forward a file to this node it checks the amount of files
         on hold already, and if the file exceeds this amount FileMgr
         will not forward the file. (temporary *.fm_ and *.f_1 files
         occur in the filemgr system dir). After a complete or
         partial pickup the file(s) set aside will be forwarded to
         the node as usual! (This function does not work with 
         D'bridge mailer)

         Added a VOLUME <Kb's> command so a node can set this
         volume switch itself. Don't forget to add this command
         to your Help message if you use an external help file!

         FileMgr can now update old *.ZIC files in Binkley and PoP
         mode! (FD/Intermail already worked)

         FmSetup now reactivates the cursor when shelling to the
         external editor.

         Fixed a bug related to file attaches with netmail announces 

         With F7 in the nodemanager you now can quickly view all
         file areas a node is connected to.

         The scheduler will now refuse to post a message when the
         message body cannot be found. (Jan! :-)

         Editfields in Fmsetup now default to Insert.

         Added a new exception type: Node Path. With it, you can
         specify a specific holding directory for a node. When
         such a directory is defined, FileMgr will place all the
         outgoing files for that system in that directory. It will
         not create a file attach message, or update any queue files.
         The purpose of this option is to make it possible to provide
         files via tape subscriptions or via other methods.

         Using @quote with a very small quote file could result in
         a disk read error. Fixed.

         Fmconv.exe can now be run in batchmode (use -B) so it can be
         run in a nightly bbs event...

         Fixed bug in the node auto-add function when a new area is
         created.

         Added a new field in FmSetup Miscellaneous: Required minimum
         disk space. FileMgr now checks the minimum required diskspace
         at startup if this is set.

         Fixed a bug in the filefind/announce new routine related to
         long descriptions and the Ra filebase.

         Fixed a bug in the CRC checksum code...

         'FmSetup Pack' now also rewrites the groups file!

         Fixed a bug in the costsharing routines when addpercentage
         was used.

 010595: The next version of FileMgr will probably be the pre-release
         of the public version 1.0, so please make sure you report
         every bug which is still present in this version!!!

         FileMgr now can forward files for a node to another node. The
         'Via Node' option in the nodemanager now works!
         Another function on the todo list gone :-)

         Part, Continued in next message and Continued from last message
         tpl announcement strings are now definable. Please make sure
         you fill them in if you don't want rubbish in your announcements!

         Fm_Set is now build into FMCONV.EXE! No need to run Fm_Set
         after FmConv anymore. Filearea.fm is automaticly synchronized
         with Areafile.fm!

         Added a new exception type: No Announce.

         Convert.exe now can convert an Allfix 4.31 setup, including
         groups file.

         Added an 'Behaviour' option in FmSetup -> System Data.
         Here you can tell FileMgr to notify you when files are
         moved to the bad directory for some reason, or when
         something happens with (passthru or newly created) areas.

         Added an 'test file' function into FileMgr. With this you
         can let FileMgr test every incomming file on certain errors
         with an external program. (see archivers menu in FmSetup)

         FileMgr did not make any netmail announcements with files
         attached... Fixed.

         Fixed a bug in the fuzzy dup logic, and several other
         bugs reported.

 030395: Previously FileMgr needed about 10Kb temporary file storage
         during processing for every file, for every downlink. (which
         on big systems with a lot of downlinks could easily lead to
         10 megabyte or more). I've rewritten the forwarding part a bit,
         so that this amount is reduced a lot!

         The sent bill direct, daily, weekly or monthly option in the
         node manager does work now... Btw: if you use this switch,
         temporary *.bil files can appear in your filemgr directory.

         Fixed the runtime error 204 which could occur during fullscreen
         filemgr hatch.
   
         FileMgr (and FmSetup) now restores the screen properly when
         the external editor returns.

 150295: Added an option in Fmsetup for an external editor. If you
         install this, you can edit tpl files and other textfiles
         everywhere in Fmsetup if you press F2.
         
         Added this external editor option in Filemgr Hatch. Now
         you can edit two different descriptions. The (short)
         description the normal way, and with f2 you can edit the
         long description.

         FileMgr Announce can now write to fidonet packet files!

         Added an option in Fmsetup -> System -> Tpl for
         optional tpl files. The following optional tpl files
         will be used -if activated- instead of the internal
         build-in msg's...:

          * Help msg: When a downlink requests help, or the
                      FileMgr notify command is activated this
                      tpl message will be used (formally simply
                      called filemgr.hlp)
          * Cso bill: This tpl message is appended to every
                      costsharing bill, usefull if you want
                      to mention your account number and such...
          * Out of credits: This tpl message will be used as
                      netmail message text to inform the downlink
                      that he run out of credits, and forwarding 
                      for billed area's stopped.
          * Warning msg: This tpl message will be used as a netmail
                      message text when the credits of a downlink
                      reaches the 'credit warning level'

         Added @creditsleft, @creditswarn and @creditsstop template
         keywords to use in above optional tpl files...

         Added an external rescan file line in Fmsetup -> System 
         -> Semaphore's to allow rescanning of new mailers (based
         on BinkleyTerm f.e.) like McMail, Xenia and others. If you
         want rescanning enabled, and your mailer supports this with
         a semaphore, don't forget to fill in this line!

         FmSetup now comes with an internal overlay file, which gives
         much more internal memory... FileMgr.exe itself now also
         comes with an internal overlay file. Make sure you delete
         the old Filemgr.ovr file!

         Fixed a bug in the FileMgr Announce function to text
         files.

 040295: FileMgr now notifies why the cleaning of the outbound dir
         is aborted...

         Changed archive identify unit, FileMgr should not hang
         anymore on damaged zip files...

         Fixed a bug in the updating of the magic lists.

         Fixed a bug in the %from function.

         FileMgr now reports newly created areas in a netmail
         message to the sysop.

         FileMgr now reconnects a disconnected area when a downlink
         connects again.

         When a downlink requested an area from an uplink, the newly
         created area was not written to the areafile.

         Fixed a bug related to the external archiver option.

         Changed the overlay file a little which might speed up 
         the filefind routines! 

 090195: Fixed a bug which occured when hatching a file which 
         already was in it's destination directory.

         Fixed another bug which could occure with advanced
         tick files on in the nodemanager.

         Removed the announce bit in the areamanager as it was
         not really needed anymore (annoucements are made when
         message manager slots are activated)

         Added fuzzy dup logic. Normally FileMgr will compare
         filename and filesize (and crc code when crc is enabled)
         in the history file to find dups. With fuzzy dup logic
         enabled FileMgr will only check the filename (without
         extension)! Please check every area if the fuzzydup
         switch is set to your wishes!

         FileMgr now has the possibility to call an external
         archive converter (like MTA) to do the archiver conversion.
         Simply enter the external converter in the external 
         programs slot, and FileMgr will call this convertor every
         time archive conversion is enabled in the areamanager.

 301294: Added a name/identifier field in fmsetup -> filefind ->
         messages for the upcoming filefind door.

         FileMgr totally ignored the 'use longdesc' setting in the
         areamgr, and always used the long description if that was
         available... Fixed..

         Fmconv can now maintain the old filefind area settings!

         You now can send multiple announcements (carbon copies) in
         the message manager, if you specify a @<filename> as toname.
         Note the @ in front of the filename! In this file you can
         specify a "<name>, <nodenumber>" on every line, which FileMgr 
         will use as address fields in this carbon copy feature.

         The retirement path and the move file in the replace option
         now works.

         In FmSetup -> Scheduler -> Hatch file you now can specify
         a file to replace.

         Fixed several small bugs.

         Added TotalMb and BlockMb to the template keywords.

         FileMgr now creates a IMPORT.XYZ file on every run with
         all imported files listed, usefull for 3rd party software.

 161194: Fixed a bug which could lead to endless files.bbs files
         with only spaces or +'s in it...

         Tried to reduce the memory usage of FileMgr a little bit.

         FileMgr's behaviour with BinkleyTerm and Portal Of Power
         has changed a little bit: FileMgr now adds a ^ in the
         queue on tic and packed tic files (so these files get
         deleted after sending by the mailer). FileMgr does NOT
         clean the outbound dir itself anymore after running SCAN.
         If you use the backup option for files, you should add the
         CLEAN command to your command line, or should run
         'FileMgr Clean' often. 

         After viewing the flow in the node, area or groupmanager
         in fmsetup, you now can reset the flow to zero.

         If the mailer is Binkley or PoP fmsetup will add (in export -> 
         request dir) '*.*' at the end of each directory entry.

 081194: Changed to a new compression unit (thanks to gerhard
         hoogterp for creating compsys) with support for a lot
         more archive formats! (yes, RAR too!) Check out FMSETUP
         with all the new archive slots!

         I have no idear what the correct switches are for all these
         new archives. I start experimenting, and let you all know
         in the comming versions, and in the FILEMGR echoes.

         Because of this I have changed the behaviour of Filemgr
         a little bit: Before Filemgr looked at the extension of
         the archive to identify the archive, and only if that
         failed Filemgr would used the archive identify routines.
         Now FileMgr will always use these archive identify routines,
         and will never look at the extension anymore.

         Also: The external unpacking utility will only be called
         if the archive identify routines would fail! (or the 
         protocol slot for that archive is empty) 

         And: FileMgr will now read inside the archive to see if a
         file_id.diz file exists, and only then call the unpack
         routine (provided offcourse you have import diz enabled)

         Fixed the bug in fmsetup -> groupmanager. Sorry about that!

         Fixed a bug in the copytoarea exception procedure.

         Fixed a bug related to the filefind command in combination
         with allfix's filefind door (that door doesn't put msgid
         kludges in the msg's). If no msgid kludge is found, FileMgr
         will use the origin line. If that fails, FileMgr will
         simply not reply to that msg.
        
 271094: The mandatory switch in the node connection list does work
         now.

         Added an expanded / compact logfile switch in fmsetup ->
         system data -> misc.

         The ignore unknown areas and ignore bad crc files setting in
         fmsetup -> system data -> misc have gotten an extra switch to
         cooperate better with the planet connect service: You now can
         choose to delete the file (and tick file) if a file comes in
         with an unknown area or bad crc.

         FileMgr can now correctly process file area names longer than
         20 characters. Also names with spaces are no problem. (you 
         cannot use spaces in fmsetup though!). Please note that the
         specs mention a maximum length of 16 chars, and for FileMgr 
         area 'FMBETA_FILE_AREA' and 'FMBETA_FILE_AREA_DISTRIBUTION'
         are equal.

         When FileMgr adds files to old zic files, the *.msg itself
         is now properly updated with the current time.

         Fixed a problem with FMPT kludges.

 161094: FileMgr can now handle long descriptions in two ways:
         reformating (and optional ignoring extended ascii) the
         description (the old way) or leaving it as it is (with
         hard returns). This setting is accessable through system 
         data -> misc in Fmsetup!

         Included the history.fm structs in STRUCTS.PAS which where
         missing.

         When connecting to all areas at once (with %+), groups which
         are not accessable will not be mentioned anymore in notify
         messages.

         Added a function to delete specific files while converting
         a incoming archive. In order to get this to work you must
         create an ascii file called DELETE.FM (in the FileMgr system
         dir) in which you place every unwanted filename (wildcards
         supported). (example file which I use is enclosed)

         Fixed a bug in the uplink manager, which occured when a node
         had forward requests set to on, and no uplink was defined in 
         the uplink manager.

         Added a 'maximum amount of chars to import on a file_id.diz
         file' function in fmsetup -> system data -> misc.
         Make sure to check the amount to reflect your wishes!

         Fixed a bug in the exception -> adopt file function, where
         sometimes multiple files matching the same filemask where not
         recognized.

         The destination directory in exception -> unpack file
         wasn't working. Fixed.

         The description in exceptions -> adopt file may contain
         @keywords now.

         Fixed the @dnr (daynumber) keyword.

         When the directory of a group is empty, newly auto-created
         areas will have the pass-thru status. 

         FileMgr had problems when file_id.diz files were longer then
         2 kb (who makes such a stupid description?)... Fixed...

         The billing messages are now written with the correct Aka.

         Fixed the batch hatch error.

 020994: The structure of the announce.fm file has changed. Make
         sure you don't have any pending announcements before
         installing this version! 

         Added some extra switches to the interactive hatch menu (you
         now can import file_id.diz, scan for virusses, and delete the
         file after hatching)

         You now can set schedules inactive without deleting them.

         Now all banners are displayed in fmsetup instead of only 12.

         The semaphore busy file is now properly deleted when fmsetup
         reports that there is not enough memory or the security pswd
         wasn't entered correctly.

         Expanded the info in the logfile.

         The template keywords @filepath and @fileexport now work.

         Fixed a problem with netmails from points to filemgr, 
         where the intl kludge came after the frompoint kludge.

         FileMgr now supports the pre-release function, and the
         pre-hatch function in the hatch manager is now also
         enabled!

         You now can use -NOLIST, -NOQUERY, -NOSTATUS and -NOHELP
         switches with a FileMgr Notify command.

         FileMgr can now announce to plain ascii text files.
         (writting to packets is comming soon!)

         Fixed a bug which occured at the end of a filefind.

         Fixed a bug in the filefind procedure related to wildcard
         searches.

         When sending a netmail announcement with file attach to
         a node, and that node had 'no ticks' defined, the subject
         of the msg had a space in front of the file. Fixed.

         Fixed a bug when forwarding to a node with billing disabled
         in an area with billing enabled.

         In dbridge mode the netmail announcement function did not 
         work... Fixed.

         When inserting new nodes in the areamanager, the node now
         defaults to export on.

         Fixed a bug in upgrade.exe

 140894: You now can use environment variables in Fmsetup. Let's say
         you have set up the following in AUTOEXEC.BAT:

         set filemgr=c:\filemgr
         set netmail=c:\netmail

         Then you can use them in Fmsetup:

                  Not this           But this

         -------  -----------------  ----------------

         Hopefully more and more programs start using this, thus
         making it easier to change things in all your prg's at once!

         Fixed a bug related to -av security archive files.

         Fixed a bug which occured when you had set the temporary
         path to a root dir.

         Fixed a bug in the weekly schedule part.

         When using FileMgr Notify you now can use partly nodenumbers:
         'Filemgr notify 2:281/*' will send notify reports to all 2:281
         net members only. Please note that the * must be the last
         character used...      

         When there was no filemask.fm file (exceptions) scan
         dropped dead on an error. Fixed.

         Upgrade left spaces in the bannerswitch settings. Fixed.

         Added an inbound secure path to fmsetup and filemgr!

         Oeps... D'bridge won't like it when INTL kludges contain
         point numbers. Fixed.

 080894: You need to run UPGRADE.EXE to convert your FileMgr setup
         files to v0.60! Please make a backup of your current setup
         so you can go back if problems arrise.. 

         Added tpl language support for day of the week and month
         names. So now you can make your announcements in your own
         language!

         Creating netmail announcement msg's is now also possible
         with Dbridge....

         Added an option to include your own banner to every 
         incomming file (definable per area)

         Added proper frontdoor semaphore support. Updating old
         zic files with frontdoor now also work!

         Added tick v2.10 support in convert.exe.

         In previous versions FileMgr would switch from Dbridge to
         Frontdoor mode while forwarding for a point, now FileMgr
         will only switch if the point is not a point under your
         main aka.

         In the FILEMGR.HLP file (as replacement for the build in
         %help message) you now can use all the template @keywords.

         Nodes who do not have any credits left are simply not
         recieving any files anymore (for which credits are
         needed) instead of turning the node to pause. This
         way they still can receive files for which no credits
         are needed.

 300794: Added the exec, unpack and delete exceptions in FileMgr.

         Added basic edit keys in fmsetup: ctrl-y, ctrl-end, etc...

         Uplink costsharing costs where not correctly read from
         the incomming tic files... Fixed.

         Added area tag to the costsharing invoices.

         Added %cost in the manager, so downlinks can request
         detailed cost reports.

 200794: Fixed a bug in the forwarding part which occured when the
         address of a node was longer than 12 characters...

         Fixed a bug in convert.exe, and added allfix 4.20 support.

         Made several small adjustments and bug fixes.

 160794: Added the costsharing module.

         Added a convert.exe program, which can convert your existing
         Allfix 4.30 setup to Filemgr... At this moment only Allfix
         4.30 is supported, but Tick, Raid, Allfix 4.20 and probably
         James will be added too...!

         Fixed a couple of (small) bugs.

 090794: Looks like finally the (jam) msg base bug is fixed!

         Scheduler -> autohatch -> description may now (again) contain
         template keywords.
   
         Fixed a bug with the auto-adding of new areas.

         Fixed a bug related to changing a node in the nodemanager.

         Added a CLEAN option to FileMgr (actually it was added in
         the 0607 version, I just forgot to tell you :-)

 060794: Added an 'update old *.ZIC files' switch.

         Fixed a bug related with the FMBUSY.NOW semaphore, and
         the date role over at midnight...

         Sending pre-defined message texts with file attaches 
         now works! (Only Frontdoor and Intermail environments...)
         Nodes must have the Netmail status bit set in the
         NodeManager, otherwise no message text is added and
         the file will be send as usual. (The message text supports
         template keywords)

         Using the %req function with the ra 2.0 filebase resulted
         in a tick files without description. Fixed.

 020794: Nodes always received tickfiles, even if no tick files
         was set. Fixed.

         Fixed a bug in the batch hatch function.

         Groups in the group, area and nodemanager are now 
         displayed more condensed and better readable...

         Fixed a bug in the *C report routine in the scheduler.

         Changed Ezycom support in Fmconv from 1.02 to 1.10 (gamma)

         The aka to use as from address in the message manager in
         Fmsetup wasn't displayed correctly. Fixed.

         FileMgr writes to a *.hfm if a busy flag is detected in
         Binkley mode. Previous version did only append to the
         original file when the node got new files, now it always
         tries to append after processing files.

         If a node is in the export list of a area but not in the
         nodemanager a *.hlo file to address 0:0/0 was created in
         Binkley mode. Fixed.

         A runtime error occured when FileMgr was processing files
         for a point in Binkley mode, and semaphore mode was set
         to Binkley. Fixed.

         Fixed a problem with cleaning the outbound in combination
         with Lantastic.

         Fixed a bug related with the exception -> autohatch function.

 270694: Added an option %FLOW in the manager so that users can
         request the same flow report as in FmSetup -> Export.

         FMSETUP PACK now also packs the node database.

         Fixed a bug in the message manager, when complete areas
         where connected. (which resulted in a loop)

         Added full uplink support! FileMgr now can connect and
         disconnect areas requested by your downlinks automaticly
         by sending msg's to your uplinks. (ForwReq must be set
         in the node manager). Note that newly requested areas
         are set to pass-thru by FileMgr. Offcourse you as 
         sysop/operator will be notified of every change (by
         netmail) by FileMgr.

         Entering a new node in the nodemanager always returned
         'node number already in use'. Fixed.

 240694: Finally the new FMSETUP prg is finished. It has took me
         much more time than planned, but in the long run it will 
         save me lots of time when new features are added. The
         setup program is rewritten completely from scratch,
         containing 500 kb (more then 12000 lines) of source code!

         FileMgr itself has been rewritten on many parts to handle
         the new structures FMSETUP introduced. The whole forwarding
         part has been rewritten, semaphore files and new mailers
         have been added, and a lot of previously reported bugs
         have been fixed.

         To update your existing FileMgr setup, simply run UPGRADE.
         Please make a full backup of your existing setup!

 150594: Fixed a bug with Novell Netware 3.11 (maximum outstanding 
         ncp searches reached).

         Fixed a bug which could cause FileMgr to hang after moving
         a file.

         When hatching files in full-screen mode, FileMgr now asks
         if you want to hatch the files right away, or wait until
         the next 'FileMgr scan' or 'FileMgr hatch' is run.

 100494: Fixed a bug in the %REQ (or %RESEND) function.

         Fixed a bug in the template routine with empty lines.

         Fixed some other small bugs, which hopefully solve the
         #0 bug in announcements, and the 100 directories bug in
         the filefind routine.

 210394: Added FILEKB template keyword which represents the file size
         in kilobytes.

         Fixed the 2:281/506@fidonet template bug.

         Fixed the description bug in the auto adopt function.

         Fixed several other things like the description bug in the
         hatch manager.

         Fixed the re-archiving bug on archives with embedded
         directories. This is what I have in fmsetup:

             ZIP    : pkzip.exe -~ -r -p %1 @%2   pkunzip.exe -o -d %1
             ARJ    : arj.exe a -m4 %1 !%2        arj.exe x -y %1
             LZH    : lha.exe a -x -p -m %1 @%2   lha.exe x %1
             ARC    : pkarc.exe -a %1 @%2         pkunpak -e %1

             Unpack : gus.exe %1

         Note: re-archiving to ARC is dangerous, when an incomming
         archive contains embedded directories. To be save use GUS.EXE
         from Johan Zwiekhorst for unpacking, because archives can 
         contains full path names...

 130294: Fixed the long-description editor in the hatch manager and
         re-enabled the aka and file selecting. I knew it wasn't working
         in 2501 correct, but wanted to release it at that day.

         Finally rewrote part of the announcement manager. FileMgr
         now will have less pain sorting and posting large number
         of files!

         Fixed a bug in the exec procedure of the scheduler.

         Fixed some small (cosmetic) bugs.       

 250194: Changed to the screen libraries which I'm using for the new
         setup program. This will fix the old Desqview screen bug in
         FileMgr, and changed the look of the hatchmanager.

         FmConv will use the FileMgr environment variable -if present-
         from now on.

         Finally fixed the multi-level 'fmunp' delete bug.

         Fixed a bug in the word wrap routine.
        
         Fixed a bug with the @overflow template keyword and a bug with
         the @sysopfirst template.
        
         When a *.tic file didn't had a replace verb, the file was moved
         to the first entry of a Ra fdb database and overwriting existing
         entries. Fixed.

 160194: Fixed the 'cannot change directory' bug.

         Rewrote the template unit. This will fix some of the existing
         bugs (wordwrap, long descriptions in announcements, empty
         keyword, error when no template exists etc)

         Multiple messages in announcements (when the message size gets
         over 16kb) is also supported now.

         Enclosed is a new set of templates, and new documentation.
         Only the (@0,R,1) justification keyword has changed!

         Fixed the 'replace' bug. In fact, NOT replacing files was not
         even supported up till now.          

         FileMgr now adds the from: node to the uploader field in ra
         filebase files.


 030194: Fixed bug with temporary path.
         
         Fixed bug in batch-hatch when replace file was same as file
         to hatch.

         Hopefully fixed bug with opening hudson msgbase. 
         (I still cannot replicate it here...)


 311293: I am completely rewritting the FMSETUP prg, and this will take
         a few more weeks. Therefore only the FILEMGR prg is hatched
         now, you still need the old 0611 FMSETUP prg.

         Fixed several bugs in FILEMGR.

         When tic files are moved to the badtick path, FILEMGR now 
         renames the extensions of those files to make it more clear
         why these files are moved. The following extensions are
         possible:

         BadCrc     : extension 'CRC'  (if file failed the crc check)
         BadPath    : extension 'PTH'  (dir not exist, or copy failure)
         Illegal    : extension 'ILL'  (node unknown or not allowed to send)
         Unknown    : extension 'UNK'  (area tag is unknown)
         Duplicate  : extension 'DUP'  (file is a duplicate)
         Notfound   : extension 'NTF'  (accompanied file not found)
         BadDescr   : extension 'DES'  (could not copy description to list)
         NoAction   : extension 'ACT'  (what to do with this file?)
         NoAccess   : extension 'ACC'  (could not open accompanied file)
         VirusFound : extension 'VIR'  (virus found in file)

         This behaviour can be toggled on and off in the setup prg in
         the future, but for now you're stuck with it...

         When there is no room to copy the file to the destination dir,
         the history/duplicate file is now not longer updated.

         Rewrote history/dupchecking handling. History file can be much
         larger now, dupechecking can be on a group basis (new setup prg)
         and does not use any of the memory while Filemgr is running.
         Because of this, the structs of the history file has changed,
         and HISTORY.FM needs to be deleted before using this version!
         
         FileMgr now tries to unpack packed tick files with strange
         allfix extensions also.
     

 061193: HATCHED IN FM_BETA

         Fixed two reported runtime errors (i hope).

         Added Daily option in the scheduler.

         Added Wme support and generic flsearch.ctl support in
         fmconv.exe.

         Added 'From' field in scheduler -> post msg.

         Fixed the msgid kludge in announcements.

         A msgbody text is no longer necessary in the post function
         of the scheduler.

         Updated the msgbase libraries. Hopefully the 'can't open
         hudsonbase' error is now gone.


 311093: HATCHED IN FM_BETA

         Rewrote most of the message base routines. Filemgr now
         supports Hudson/Jam/*.msg/Ezycom and Squish msgbases in
         the message manager, filefind and scheduler!

         The structure of the schedule.fm file is changed 
         completely, and this file (schedule.fm) must be deleted
         by hand! Make sure you write down your old info!

         Removed the packet support function in filemgr, but this
         will only be temporary.
      
         Removed the hudson msg base and fidobill path, as they
         weren't used in filemgr itself (anymore).

         Fixed the automatic creation of new areas.

         Fixed several other bugs both small and big.

         Completed the re-archive function! The only toggle that
         doesn't work is the 'ignore -av files' option with zip
         files. (arj -se files are allready recognized and
         ignored if the toggle is set to yes)


 010993: HATCHED IN FM_BETA

         Fixed some of the bugs

         Added opus and spitfire support in fmconv

         See you all again in october!


 230893: HATCHED IN FM_BETA

         Not all bugs reported to me last week are fixed, but as I'm
         getting close to my vacation (I'm in the US the whole september
         month) I wanted to get this version out today. Next week will
         probably the last version, until my return!
         (I hope we can make it, but the plan is to have an official
         1.0 version ready on december 31, 1993 including all the
         features that are on the to-do list.)

         Changed the Hatchmanager. (Not every option you requested is
         build in (yet) Terence, but it's getting close. I liked all
         of them!

         Sorry I didn't reply to all the msg's in the filemgr echo's
         but as you all can imagine, the mail I get lately is way to
         much ;-) But thrust me, I read them all! And Erick and Jeroen
         can answer most questions too, so I leave some to them :-)

         In previous Filemgr versions there was (almost) identical code
         for accessing the filebase on 5 different places (filefind, %req,
         newscan, announcenew and hatchmananger). In this version I tried
         to change this into just one. This will make it easier in the
         future to support other filebase systems, and will make bug
         tracking much easier. Because of this a lot of code has changed
         and I must honoustly say that not everything has checked yet.
         It's now 2:13 monday morning as I'm typing this, and I want to
         go to bed :-) PLEASE BACKUP EVERYTHING so that you can go back
         to the 1508 version easy when problems arrise! As a site note:
         the newscan and annoucenew commands with ra 2.0 filebase should
         work now..
         

 150893: HATCHED IN FM_BETA

         Fmsetup now asks if you want to copy the connection list of an
         existing area when creating a new area.

         Changed the layout of the nodemanager a little.

         Added an option to specify if FileMgr should ignore
         extended characters in the file_id.diz file.

         Changed the default FILESBBS.TPL file (check out templates.arj)
         to support long descriptions.

         Fixed the files.bbs description bug.
         Fixed a bug in the file_id.diz import routine.
         Fixed several other small bugs.

 080893: HATCHED in FM_BETA

         Added detection of a whole lot of multitaskers, operating systems
         and memory, and we might even gonna use them in the future too ! :-)

         Enhanced the showpack option. You can now seperatly en/disable the
         output of the external prg's during packing, unpacking and virus-
         scanning.

 070893: Fixed the Ra filebase description bug.

         Fixed the bug where you couldn't setup a files.bbs area when using
         ra 2.0 filebase,

 050893: Added an option in the areamanger of FmSetup to quickly view the
         flow statistics. It is very likely that this option will be
         expanded to a lot more statistics in the future.

         Added a -NOLOCK parameter to FileMgr. By default FileMgr will
         lock the setup.fm and nodefile.fm file to prevent other filemgr
         copies from running. Until FileMgr supports record locking this
         fix is for people who want to run FileMgr in a shell from FileMgr,
         but you better know what you are doing if you use this :-)
  
         Fixed the uppercase 'z' bug.

 040893: Re-arranged the manager part. More info is now written to the
         logfile, added difference between Area and TickPassword and added
         some new commands. (%from now works!) FileMgr now also accepts
         the -H, -L, -Q and -U areafix alike switches on the subject line.
 
         Fixed some cosmetic things...

 030893: FileMgr now partially supports long descriptions (upto 2 Kb)
         in *.TIC files and filebase. Long descriptions in the *.TIC
         files should start with the LDESC keyword.
         FileMgr will always try to use these long description in
         incomming *.TIC files, but will only send them if the receiving
         node has the 'Advanced' tic file set in the nodemanager.

         The last filearea in Fmsetup -> Filefind -> File Areas was
         not shown in the list. Fixed.

 020893: Added an 'Import File_Id.Diz file as description' option in
         both Filemgr and FmSetup. Still very basic and unchecked!

         Re-arranged the announcement part. Previous FileMgr versions
         tried to read and sort every announcement msg in memory at the
         same time. Now FileMgr handles every announcement message one
         by one, using a lot less memory then before!

         Fixed the # and + char mixture in list reports.
