    VERSION 4 - MARCH 29 2020
    -------------------------

    With some newfound free-time, here comes a minor update. Stay safe
    everyone...

    - From now on, D'Bridge will be released in both Single-Line and Multi-
    Line versions. The reason is that Single-Line uses slightly less memory
    and the vast majority of installations do not use more than one modem
    or BBS dialup "node" on one computer.

    - AutoPoll has been removed. This will return at some point in the future.
    If you absolutely must have this, please let me know. Please use your OS
    native task-scheduling and DBUTIL to schedule polling. (For example, the
    command DBUTIL NORMAL POLL 1:229/426 will generate a "Normal" flavour
    poll for my system)

    - Match AKA in packet file in Config-Packet/Mail is removed, the system
    will always match the proper AKA per outgoing Netmail packet.

    - "Lastread file" is removed as the vast majority of legacy BBS software
    does not mishandle 1.MSG. Please let me know if you need this back.

    - A fix for outbound call statistics which could potentially cause
    problems when D'Bridge has been running for long periods of uptime
    unattended or restarted.

    - Another fix for incorrect statistics potentially causing a buffer-
    overrun or other weird problems.

    - A very minor fix for the way dialing is handled on 56k modems.

    - Fixde a potential memory-overflow problem for Hudson/GoldBase.

    - Slight code cleanup and modified overlay/cache values.

    The best part of D'Bridge is the logo (I'm sure there are other great
    features but as I have never used it the logo rocks!).

    Hah! I agree, I've been looking to use it because of the logo... (I think I tried once, but dont really remember, so I want to try again!)

    I've been tempted to have an art-group or someone rework it. I'd love to see if there can be a 3D version or something a bit more punchy. The logo hasn't changed since inception. So it has to be "good".

    And if/when I release it for Linux and other modern OS's, I have a buddy that can do t-shirts and swag for cheap.

    VERSION 4 - FEBRUARY 7 2021
    ---------------------------

    - Fix for DBUTIL MOVE.

    - Updates to improve timeslice/CPU usage throughout the mailer.

    - The DBRIDGE.HIS XMAIL database is now part of the nightly backup set
    along with a new "Readme" file within the set to explain how to correctly
    restore or rebuild a D'Bridge system using just that archive.

    Remember, a weeks-worth of configuration backups are contained in the
    DBCONFIG.ZIP file but not the contents of your messages, Netmail, BBS
    or other programs or settings. It is NOT a substitute for a proper
    backup solution; but rather as an absolute emergency if things ever
    got totally hosed.

    - At the last minute, a redundant backup set is now also stored in the DATA
    subdirectory.

    - 5D-type addressing is now automatically parsed in Config-Internet.

    - A slight improvement for support for using archivers within a "window"
    in the mailer, such as Info-ZIP's "zip.exe". Packet count and the
    command line are reported.

    - The F1-Help system and user manual have also been updated.
