+1. fixed some Aliasing problems, but this whole area will have to be addressed
+more comprehensively.
+2. Changed talk logging so that it hopefully is more consistant and maybe even
+useful.
+3. Altered the mechanism of the personal emailing so that it uses lower level
+components and should be therefore available on M$ platforms. You will need
+to install a version of libnet (perl -MCPAN -eshell, then install Net::SMTP).
+I believe all 5.6.x perls have this built in (ie M$ should have this). If you
+are on M$ or you want to use an MTA via SMTP in linux then you need to declare
+the dns name of the MTA by: set/var $DXMsg::email_server = 'post.fred.net' 
+(or whatever the MTA is called). You can also use local programs other than
+sendmail by: set/var $DXMsg::email_prog = '/usr/bin/postfix ..' or whatever.
+Finally you can alter the 'from' address using: set/var $DXMsg::email_from
+= 'FBloggs@msn.com' (\@ if you use " and ") - bewarned that you may be 
+prevented from using just any old address. You can place these commands in
+/spider/scripts/startup for permanent use.

+1. added information on registration, login scripts and passwords to the
+26Oct01=======================================================================
+1. If $main::reqreg = 1 then set/register will allow 'registered' users 
+full access, if $main::reqreg = 2 then registered users will be 'read-only'
+(ie the opposite). If $main::reqreg = 0 then registration and its effects
+are disabled.
+25Oct01=======================================================================
+1. added unset/password command to allow sysops (only) to completely delete
+and remove a user's password.
+2. make 'read' increment the 'no of times read' for all messages.
+3. give a read receipt for everybody that reads a message so marked.
+4. enhance set/email so that if you set email address(es) with this command
+it will send any messages to your callsign as they come in. unset/email
+will disable forwarding. 
+24Oct01=======================================================================
+1. added (un)set/register, show/registered commands which when a 'set/var
+$main::reqreg = 1' is done in the startup script will require users to 
+be 'registered' in order for them to have 'write' access to the node. Non-
+registered users will only be allowed to TALK or SEND PRIVATE to the cluster
+sysop callsign.
+2. Added password interrogation to the ExtMsg connections. If a user comes
+in via telnet and this is being done with the internal listener and a pass-
+word has been set for that user - he will be asked for it. You can force 
+a password interrogation (for ALL users) with a 'set/var $main::passwdreq = 1'
+in the node's startup script. It is anticipated that if you are using
+registration you will also issue passwords to those registered users.
+3. set/password has been changed so that users already with passwords can 
+change them.   
+4. A non-registered user will get the /spider/data/motd_nor file instead of
+the motd on login.
+5. made the BadWord regexes slightly less aggressive WARNING this may let
+some constructions thru, but hopefully will also allow more legitimate 
+foreign (mainly) things thru as well.

+1. Allow DELETE (0x7f) for backspace in console.pl
+2. redo prefix table using latest cty.dat

+AK1A compatible (G0RDI+G4PDQ pace).

 the standard alias "expunge". This will cause the message to be deleted at
 the next queue message cycle.
