-1. allow filter names to be in upper or lower case.
+1. allow filter CALLSIGNS to be in upper or lower case.
 2. create the concept of input and output filters, input filters are of the 
-form "in_$call.pl" eg: "in_g1tlh.pl", output filters are "g1tlh.pl".
+form "in_$call.pl" eg: "in_g1tlh.pl" (or "in_G1TLH.pl"), output filters are 
+"g1tlh.pl" (or "G1TLH.pl").
 3. all users can now filter on spots, ann and wwv (assuming the sysop has set
 the filters up - still no user creatable filters. Nodes can filter on both
-input and output for all of these.
+input for announces and output for all of these. I would recommend setting 
+up a few filters that are likely to be wanted and then symlinking callsigns

+privileged, nodes that occasionally link can rcmd a "catchup <nodecall> all"
+to the node they are connecting to and thus prevent a large tranche of, 
+potentially duplicate, mail. This isn't an issue for DXSpider, but may be
+an issue for any AK1A clusters you are connected to.

 1. Translated all the subroutines of minimuf into perl as Minimuf.pm
