                    3.02 Release (final) - July 14, 1996

                            Installation Notes:

        Please refer to the documentation INSTALL.DOC for instructions on
        how to upgrade from previous versions of Telegard, or how to 
        install Telegard for the first time.  It is *imperative* that you
        follow these instructions!

                               Release Notes:

        This version fixes several minor bugs, and fixes a loophole in the
        login process that could compromise the security of the system.
        
        All users should install 3.02 over any previous version of Telegard
        immediately to avoid security problems that certain system setups
        would cause -- my suggestion is to leave SysOp ACS *AND* CoSysOp ACS
        as S255XL (XL is the real key here) which entirely avoids *all* these
        problems, HOWEVER, for those that don't follow this procedure, your
        system is at risk without 3.02.

        Please delete all copies of Telegard 3.01 & prior.

        LANGUAGES

            * Review LANGUAGE.302 for the minor changes to this version.

        AREAS
        
            * Area editors now allow the touching (update to current date)
              of the creation date field.

        MESSAGES

            * Imported messages will now be opened in a file SHARE mode 
              rather than as text.

            + Added non-abort FSE command-- if this field has a value, and
              the user is forced to write a message, it will use this FSE
              command instead.  This option should *only* be used on doors
              which support a non-abort command parameter.

              (the configuration was also moved from SystemConfig.External 
               to SysteConfig.Messages for continuity)

            * Reduced the memory usage for the nodelist browse by 2K --
              not that this was a big problem, but it puts less stress on
              the stack . . .

            * Fixed Nodelist search for node numbers in the format:
                  (a) z:z/0 - would return as "not found"
                  (b) z:n/0 - would return as "z:n/65535"

            * Version 7 Nodelist support has been started -- I was not
              able to complete the work before this release was required.
              Version 6 nodelists still allow full support; Version 7 
              nodelists only have verification support (nodelist browsing
              has not been finished).  Feature toggled under SystemConfig.
              Messages.Nodelistpath.

        FILES
        
            * Queued file points will be properly checked (my mistake).

            * No Ratio <NR> bases will automatically display the "Free
              download" line, without requiring the file to be tagged
              Free-Download.  This is for consistency.

        OTHER

            * Fixed several loopholes during password inquiry process.

            * TRAP logs now pay attention to the multinode setting and
              appropriately adjust (to avoid RT#150 problems):
                
                    * Multinode   TRAP.001, TRAP.002, TRAP.003, etc.
                    * Single      TRAP.LOG

              For individual trap logs:

                    * Multinode   TRAPnnnn.001, TRAPnnnn.002, etc.
                    * Single      TRAPnnnn.LOG

              This was neccessary to ensure that multiple logins under one
              account on many lines (such as a GUEST account) do not
              have any problems.

            * CHAT logs follow the same naming convention as above (not 
              that I expect one system to be chatting on a few different
              nodes, but it's fixed none-the-less (for all those weirdos!)).

            * TRASHPHN.TXT (/data/ directory) will "can" improperly 
              formated numbers.  In this file, * means match all afterwards 
              -- be careful.

            * As a reminder of how the TRASHCAN.TXT file works:
                 (a) Precede your text with *, and it'll match any text
                     in the field (i.e. *DRAGON will match "DRAGON" 
                     anywhere in the name, i.e. DRAGONheart, etc.
                 (b) . . . Otherwise it matches whole words only

            * Automessage replies should generate quote headers properly--
              please double check this.

            * Dates in the user editor now use the online users date format
              for display (only the laston date was doing this before).

            * Repaired IEMSI login so the password is correctly identified.
              -Compliant- IEMSI terminals will now work properly.

            * Telegard will attempt to reformat IEMSI passed phone numbers
              into the correct format (remove '(', change ')' to '-' and 
              remove all spaces - this will convert a number like "(905) 
              820-7273" into "905-820-7273" . . . to makeup for the brain
              dead software out there.

            * SysOp window would not initialize properly if running from
              the commandline with the -B<bps> option.  Fixed.

            * TITLE commands for menus renamed to SUBHEADER (which is
              really what they are).  Change your menus!

            * Fixed open file timeout displaying filename + garbage.

            * Fixed status line bleeding.

            * Fixed WFC Screen blanking to the wrong colour (coloured bg).
        
            * Path input will now only allow text up to the length of
              the field, minus 1, to account for the need for a trailing
              slash ('\') at the end of the path.  Previously, it would
              overwrite some other information in the record.
