+$DXProt::pingint and $DXProt::obscount)

+17Oct02=======================================================================
+1. added new Spanish files for help and Messages from Angel, EA7WA.
+16Oct02=======================================================================
+1. decrease the default max length of PC16/19 to around 180 characters to be
+slightly friendlier to ARC, which seems to have a difficulty reconstructing
+lines from multiple packets. Also make the value settable via set/var.
+2. strip off blank spaces from the ends of lines of  command output.
+15Oct02=======================================================================
+1. made some detail changes to the raw USDB data and the routines that 
+generate and operate on them. There were some bugs involving a few 'missing'
+callsigns which been fixed. Also there were some, for our purposes, invalid
+callsigns in the database which have been removed (down to about 820,000 
+entries now). You should really update your database. 
+
+The latest code now (conditionally; ie if you have it loaded it will use it)
+support Compress::Zlib on both *nux and Windows. The suggested procedure 
+is this:-
+
+1. Download the corrected database from
+   http://www.dxcluster.org/download/usdbraw.gz to somewhere like /tmp.
+2. update from CVS.
+3. Restart (on linux, just stop the node and *don't* restart on Windows).
+4. remove /spider/data/usdb.v1
+5. cd /spider/perl
+6. (perl) create_usdb.pl /tmp/usdbraw.gz (or wherever you put it)
+6a. If you don't have Compress::Zlib loaded then you will need to gunzip
+    it manually and do: create_usdb.pl /tmp/usdbraw (not Windows :-)
+7. on linux, in a console window do: load/usdb, on windows: restart the node. 
+--
+2. Added set/usdb command to add adding or changing of a callsign in the USDB
+3. Stop dupe spots from the same spotter (with or without comment corruption)
 14Oct02=======================================================================
 1. added show/usdb command as a simple, direct interface to the information
 available in the USDB stuff.
