Requires DCC.SEND.AS225 to be in the path. - ChatBot: SendChatBot didn't FreeArgs() and therefore eat some memory on every invocation. - ChatBot: now gathers total login count and time statistics for user it sees. - added ChatBot.guide created by Laurence Walton from ChatBot.doc. - Server: forwarded privmsgs pointed to local users, wasting bandwidth. - CLChatIRCD: no longer outputs nonsense userhost with QUIT messages. - Server: now "//" can be used to output a single "/" on start of a pubmsg. - the BBS client now prompts for a nick name if none is specified. Release 4.13 ------------ - did some work on the CLChatGUI-Client (see history) - the CLChatD didn't remove "\r" (CR) on incoming messages. This caused trouble with the ANSI client, which then outputted ... - CLChatIRCD now accepts "/JOIN channel" without removing the first character if it is not an '#'. - CLChatIRCD now silently eats "ISON" commands to at least avoid the annoying "ISON: unknown command" messages with IRC clients that do ISON on a regular base. - Server: fixed a nasty bug with nick collision messages not being broadcasted properly. - everything recompiled with SAS/C 6.56. Release 4.14 ------------ - did some work on the CLChatGUI-Client (see history) - MODE +o/-o will now work in CLChatIRCD - fixed QUIT stealing on CLChatIRCD - fixed CLChatD crashing w/ messages > 255 Bytes - several small cleanups ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 273 56.5% 25-Dec-95 01:24:22 CLChat414.info 628 274 56.3% 25-Dec-95 01:24:22 +BBSClient.info 10924 6715 38.5% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatAnsi 650 381 41.3% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatAnsi.DOC 1391 506 63.6% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatAnsi.DOC.info 555 261 52.9% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +ClChat.Rexx 628 274 56.3% 25-Dec-95 01:24:22 +ChatBot.info 16024 9330 41.7% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +chatbot 175 110 37.1% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +chatbot.cmds 6820 2948 56.7% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +ChatBot.Doc 1391 505 63.6% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +ChatBot.Doc.info 7942 3250 59.0% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +chatbot.guide 1391 505 63.6% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +chatbot.guide.info 260 172 33.8% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +chatbot.patterns 624 396 36.5% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +Chatbot.users 5576 3448 38.1% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +faqmanager 788 455 42.2% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +SendChatBot 3812 2518 33.9% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +SendChatBotFile 177 112 36.7% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +build 24136 7126 70.4% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +chatbot.c 508 288 43.3% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +chatserver.h 2887 1113 61.4% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +faqmanager.c 188 117 37.7% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +ftzs.a 303 178 41.2% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +scoptions 1015 524 48.3% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +sendchatbot.c 1920 953 50.3% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +sendchatbotfile.c 24711 8789 64.4% 25-Dec-95 01:23:44 +CLChat.DOC 1391 506 63.6% 25-Dec-95 01:24:22 +CLChat.DOC.info 628 274 56.3% 25-Dec-95 01:24:22 +Client.info 47060 23921 49.1% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatGUI 21850 7846 64.0% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatGUI.doc 1391 505 63.6% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatGUI.doc.info 25307 8593 66.0% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatGUI.guide 1397 512 63.3% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatGUI.guide.info 2597 1230 52.6% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatGUI.info 970 485 50.0% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +ReadMe.mui 1397 512 63.3% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +ReadMe.mui.info 1138 915 19.5% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +Privmsg.8svx 628 271 56.8% 25-Dec-95 01:24:22 +Server.info 5256 3301 37.1% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatLink 31208 16594 46.8% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatServer 31300 16732 46.5% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +CLChatServer030 196 184 6.1% 25-Dec-95 01:23:40 +SendChatNotice 34 34 0.0% 25-Dec-95 01:23:42 +startnet.addon 56 56 0.0% 25-Dec-95 01:23:40 +ChatServer.MOTD 24 24 0.0% 25-Dec-95 01:23:40 +ChatServer.OPList 36 36 0.0% 25-Dec-95 01:23:40 +ChatServer.Servers 10 10 0.0% 25-Dec-95 01:23:40 +ChatServer.UserBans 141 81 42.5% 25-Dec-95 01:23:40 +inetd.conf.addon 65 56 13.8% 25-Dec-95 01:23:40 +services.addon 6040 3784 37.3% 25-Dec-95 01:23:40 +CLChatD 10592 6335 40.1% 25-Dec-95 01:23:40 +CLChatIRCD -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 306764 144318 52.9% 25-Dec-95 23:13:06 52 files
