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.

Yup, that was version 4.0, written in Java. :-)
It *did* have the added benefit of at least having people talk about it.

Maybe someone could win the lotto and pay you 100k to make a Linux D'Bridge. :)

Could someone use dosemu for the mailer and then use native binkp linux fil
Yes, provided that the DOSEMU environment "senses" new files received by the Linux BinkD process; and in return the BinkD process must be able to sense new packets/mailbox contents created by D'Bridge.

--------------------------
Another very minor release addressing long-term stability and reliability:
- Code cleanup for dialup modems and elsewhere throughout.
- Slight timeslice/release improvement.
- Should have slightly reduced memory usage on MS-DOS computers, but if
performance is a problem, increase the overlay buffer by overriding with
the DBOVRBUFSIZ environment variable (refer to TECHSPEC file)

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.
