    Cool! I'm curious as to what you found was causing that and if you saw it on your system?

    I had that happen over here enough times that I had to revert for the time being. I thought it was something unique to my setup.

    VERSION 4 - FEBRUARY 18 2022
    ----------------------------

    New DBUTIL commands:

    - DBUTIL EXPORT AREAS.BBS will export an AREAS.BBS file. Use EXPORTZP
    if you need to export this file to show Zones and Points.

    - DBUTIL EXPORT AREAS.JTT will export a file containing "Just the tags"
    (Echomail conference names)

    - DBUTIL EXPORT AREAS.JTD will export a file containing the Echomail tags
    (conference names), a space, then the Fido *.MSG directories. Passthru
    or non *.MSG areas will be ignored.

    - DBUTIL EXPORT AREAS.JTA will export a file containing the Echomail tags
    (conference names), a space, and the ASCII last-accessed date.

    - DBUTIL EXPORT AREAS.JFD will export a file containing the Fido *.MSG
    directories only. Passthru or non *.MSG areas will be ignored.

    VERSION 4 - MARCH 10 2022
    -------------------------

    WARNING: DBUTIL CHANGE commands should be used with caution and only by
    experienced D'Bridge operators only. In every operation where an
    Echomail area is changed or deleted, the Echomail database file
    DBRIDGE.ADF is backed up as BACKUP.ADF incase you make a mistake.

    Very minor, almost trivial stuff:

    - Fix for a long-standing bug with "Unpack error" when only a Queue path
    is defined and not drive+path.

    - Adds a new DBUTIL CHANGE parameter missing for a long time... the
    ability to mass-change Echomail *.MSG directory paths. This new one
    is called FIDOMSG. For example:

    C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE FIDOMSG C: FIDOMSG R:

    Will change every Echomail *.MSG area from C:\DB\MESSAGES\XXX to
    R:\DB\MESSAGES\XXX.

    You can also specify a "null" in the change-to condition field, if you
    wish to completely remove absolute drive references from your Echomail
    area database, ie:

    C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE FIDOMSG C: FIDOMSG

    Will change every Echomail *.MSG area from C:\DB\MESSAGES\XXX to
    just \DB\MESSAGES\XXXX.

    And of course, it doesn't just have to be for drive-changing... it can
    be for matching other stuff too:

    C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE FIDOMSG F: ALERTFLAG F

    Will change any Echomail *.MSG directory matching drive F to have
    the alert flag F.

    You could also delete areas on matching criteria...

    C:\DB> DBUTIL DELETE FIDOMSG R:

    Will nuke any Echomail *.MSG area matching drive R.

    - The addition of this new CHANGE parameters should eliminate the often
    convoluted job with text-editors when you need to make mass-changes to
    a very large D'Bridge configuration (a config with thousands of areas)

    - Very minor code improvements.

    VERSION 4 - APRIL 10 2022
    -------------------------

    - This version stops creating the nightly DBCONFIG.ZIP sets. This is because
    after some thought, the zipping/archiving of the daily config-backups
    should be left for you to do as you please as part of your backup
    strategy. The SAVE-*.* file-sets are still created and kept in your DB
    directory.

    - A very slight improvement for those of you who "rotate" your log files
    by renaming/moving the DBRIDGE.LOG file, instead of purging them by
    date criteria.

    - Temporarily disabled DBRIDGE.XDF and zipping of lastcall-stats for
    dialup modem sessions.

    and description to have no description.

    VERSION 4 - AUGUST 4 2024
    -------------------------

    - Two new hooks, BTM.BAT and ATM.BAT can contain DOS commands to run
    immediately before and after D'Bridge unpacks/tosses mail. Note that
    these are slightly different in execution than "Packet Pre-Processor"
    and "After-Mail Commands" in the Scheduler/Unevent AND these two new
    hooks take precedent.

    For example, you might want to call BTM to log mail stats or run a
    Netmail tracker... or maybe tell your BBS that new stuff has arrived.

    WARNING: These are meant for stats or BBS usage only. Running programs to
    modify packets will likely upset people. Any program called by
    BTM/ATM must be able to run unattended (duh)

    - Obsessive-compulsive types can now make D'Bridge say "Node" instead of
    "Line", create a dummy file called DBRIDGE.SNL (Say Node not Line).

    - Improvement in PlayMail.BAT (Hook for WAV/MP3 playback on personal mail)

    VERSION 4 - NOVEMBER 26 2024
    ----------------------------

    A very minor release dealing only with the Information/Summary screen.

    - The semaphore/dummy file DBRIDGE.DSC (Do Summary Chart) will generate
    the textfile DBRIDGE.SAC containing the Summary Activity in the
    Information Screen.

    - The semaphore/dummy file DBRIDGE.BBS will force-increment the BBS CALLERS
    count in the Information Screen.

    - The semaphore/dummy file DBRIDGE.GAT will force-increment the GATEWAY
    SYSTEM count in the Information Screen.

    - The semaphore/dummy file DBRIDGE.UCR will force-increment the CALLS
    RECEIVED count in the Information Screen.

    - EMAIL CALLS is now more accurately called MAIL SESSIONS.

    - Same with EMAIL MESSAGES.... now Netmail unpacked.

    - Connections/In and /Out more accurately describe things given dialup
    and BinkD sessions are treated mostly the same.

    - Inbound BinkD sessions count as CALLS RECEIVED and MAIL SESSIONS.

    Hello Nick!

    29 Nov 24 19:03, you wrote to all:

    - Updated documentation.

    The worst part about programming as no one reads the damn docs then complains to you about it, right?
