  Small updated.. i've been working the past couple weeks pretty ofthen on
getting the next update out.. Just like to keep everyone updated on whats
going on..  The new MSGAPI interface is getting there.. i'm finishing up tid
bits with the Title Scaning.. 

  The initial release will probably not have threaded  topics, but the release
following will have more options like this to come.

  I've written a new LastRead function to help keep track of the absolute
last message read during newscans.  The issue of losing your message pointer
should no longer be an issue as i've now added code to check the absolute
MSGID rather then the going by the Message #.  (Mainly issues by external
message packing utilities).

  I've also fixed the ENTRHAL env variable so you should be able to load have
the executable in one folder.

  Menu Prompts have been added in, as well as default menu's.  If the ANSI
menu file is not present, depending on the helplevel (like TG and RG) the
system will draw menu commands with descriptions.

  Some new password encryption for security has been added.  All user
passwords will we encrypted and automatically salted for extra protection.

  Sysop Menu added for quick and centralized access to sysop commands and bbs
functions like the Message Base Editor, User Editor, File Base Editor etc.
set all the data and bbs files into another folder.

  Setup RealName/Alias setting for the message areas, for FIDONET support of
real name forums.

  Working on finishing up NETMAIL area testing.. added new area type netmail
that will scan private messages like email so you recive only message to you.

  I'm working hard to get everyone out as soon as i can, but of course i won't
realease anything for testing untill i believe everything is stable enough
with the new features.   As you might know i took the previous bbs down
temporially due to issues with the JAM API, so once everything is satisfactory
i will also get my bbs back up and going too.. Personally i can't wait!
