			MBSE BBS V0.71.1 TODO list.
			---------------------------

	These are a list of things that must be implemented one way or
	another. Some things are urgent and necessary to operate the bbs
	without human intervention, others are just for comfort, or nice.
	I think this list will always contain items, I only hope the urgent
	matters will be removed.
	Note that most goodies are still in my mind instead of in this file.
	Classes: U = Urgent.
		 N = Normal, second priority.
                 L = Cosmetic or nice to have.
		 X = Will not be done unless it's really needed.

everything:
	L: Implement IPv6.

	L: Document error return codes in the manual.

	N: In BSO the i flavor should have been d flavor.

	N: Increase size of Unix usernames > 8. The limit on Slackware is 32
	   characters, defined in utmp.h in UT_NAMESIZE

	N: Add personal message area.

install:
	N: On some (unsupported) distro's with xinetd the installation script
	   also adds entries to inetd.conf.

libdiesel.a:
	U: Processed stringlines containing unbalanced " characters are not
	   processed, instead the previous macro value will be returned.

mbsebbs:
	X: Better word wrapping or paragraph justification in editor.

	N: OLR, implement file requests.

	N: Only count posted messages in local mail areas.

	L: ChangeHandle, allow own unix name as handle.

	X: OLR: tagged areas must have 3 states, off, on or personal only.

	X: OLR: implement limit date function.

	X: OLR: include private email area in download packets. See also global
           wish for private mail areas.

	X: OLR: implement some global settings from the offline configuration.

	X: OLR: implement keywords and filters.

	X: OLR: check qwke extensions.

	N: OLR: qwk, check netmail entered from reader, fido address missing?

	N: Translate characterset of messages to the users preferred 
           characterset. This is partly done for testing.

newuser:
	L: Allow handles to be the same as the unixname. Most menus allow this,
	   still needed?

mbfido:
	N: Check all .flo files for dead attachments.

	N: Check all .flo files for to old attachments.

	N: Count posted messages during mailscan.

	N: Code cleanup and make a structure in this program. Remove duplicate
	   or similar functions.

	N: Process GoldED filerequest netmails with the filereq flag set, we
	   should create a .req file with the contents of the subject line.

	N: Process To: and Cc: lines in messages gated from Fido to Internet.

	N: Add macro's for stats of all months.

	N: Implement file requests for directory nodes.

	L: Add %from command to areamgr/filemgr.

	L: Add netmail notification of changed areas.

	L: Make it possible to only virus scan the complete archives.

	N: Let mbfido areas with a special switch update area descriptions.

	N: Send rulefile via netmail for each new connected mail area.

	N: Send notifications to downlinks about changed areas from uplink.

	N: Add statistic mail messages. Via AMC??

	N: With auto created areas golded.inc is not adjusted to the new
	   setup.

	N: After readalias we need to free the alias list when mbfido ends.

	N: Reimplement characterset conversion again on the gateway.

	N: Hatch statistics are not updated.

	N: Copy personal mail to a personal message area.

	N: Implement areamgr/filemgr %avail command to list available areas
	   from areas files.

	N: Add switch to tic areas that new links connect SR to the area.

	N: When messages are deleted in the middel (not the highest message),
	   after a pack the lastread pointer is too high and users won't see
	   any new mail until the number of messages becomes higher then the
	   position of the lastread pointer.

	N: Someday make retoss from bad possible (volonteers?).

mbcico:
	L: Implement binkp option ND.

	N: Implement PLZ turn off m_get command.

	N: Make workaround for binkp bug in Irex 2.24 upto 2.29

	U: See whathappens if we remove FLUSHOUT(), this may give troubles.

mbfile:
	L: Update <filespec> <area> <-touch>

	L: Possibility to skip file areas from checking and reindexing.

	N: The import function does not create long filenames.

	N: The import function doesn't strip the [0] from the files.bbs
	   when importing the description.

	N: The import function has troubles when there is nothing behind
	   the filename.

	N: It is not possible to import areas that run of cd-roms. Do we still
	   need cd-rom support with current hd prices?

	N: The adopt command switches the LFN and 8.3 name.

	N: The import command doesn't work with long filenames.

	N: Several import commands shoudlcheck ownership of the files before
	   processing them to prevent problems later.

mbtask:
	U: During chat when one of the users is disconnected for some reason
	   mbtask crashes when trying to send a message to the pid that is no
	   longer there. It looks that way. Maybe a protection is needed when
	   communicating with other processes.

mbaff:
	L: Rewrite filefind search algorithm.

mbsetup:
	N: Add a check for double areatag names.

	N: Use some sort of sorting for the system aka's and make sure the
	   main aka with zone's is listed first. Having zone's mixed gives
	   too high outbound stats and the outbound is scanned multiple times.

	N: Put ZMH fields in the network setup for each zone. Currently Z1-6.

	N: Add switch for file area to skip checking and indexing.

	N: Add global setup in menus 9.1 and 10.1 at least to change uplink
	   data.

	N: See if a check can be made in file groups setup for the areas file
	   format, if a filegate list is installed and the filegate switch
	   setting is wrong, a lot of wrong areas will be created.
