reason.
Version 7.83 You can now DISALLOW bbs users from certain sio lines.
A new file, inval_port.bbs, can contain a list of the
sio lines which you do not wish bbs users to use. An

A log of the disallowed called is stored in a file
called restricted.bbs.

each SIG can have its own external programs and/or
shell scripts which is independent of the main menu
A(dditional) features option. The format of the
features.bbs file is exactly the same as the one for
the main menu; however, this file is stored in the SIG
directory ( same as where sigentry.bbs and sigwelcome.bbs
are stored )
Version 7.85 When a message is sent to a user, the name is now
verified. In addition to name verification, the follow-
two aliases are permitted: Sysop and ALL. If Sysop is

substituted into the message; if All is used as the
first name, All Users will be substituted.
If the upload directory is nolonger in the same file-
system as the upload path, a Unix style mv will be

him to notify the sysop that the upload path is not
in the same filesystem as the bbs users' home directory.
