- INFO ON TOSYSMRG.ARC (Tadas Osmolskis SYSop bug MeRGes)
- May 25, 1988
-
- This set of merges corrects 2 problems in RBBS.
-
- The merge lines labelled TO051101 correct the incorrect updating
- of the SYSOP's high message pointer when there were co-sysops in
- local mode ("COM0" mode). This problem also occasionally occurs
- with non-sysops, but always in local mode.
-
- The merge lines labelled TO051102 permit anyone with an access level
- high enough to see the SYSOP menu to read all mail, whether public
- or private.
-
- The file SYSOP.MRG can be applied to RBBS 16.1A (release version) and
- RBBS 16.1B (BETA A). These mods have been running on my BBS since
- May 11, under BETA A, with no apparent problems.
-
- The file SYSOPF.MRG can be applied to RBBS 16.1B (BETA F). It apparently
- works correctly (I exercised it when I got BETA F up and running, but
- BETA F fell prey to the dread "String Space Corrupt during G.C." about
- 5 minutes after I reopened the phone lines. Use caution if you're running
- BETA F and this mod; for that matter, use caution if you're running BETA
- F without this mod. I'm back to BETA A with this mod until BASIC learns
- better sanitary engineering techniques. BETA B C D and E were either never
- implemented on my system or didn't last long enough for me to apply this
- mod, so you're on your own.
-
- These merges were created with Ken Goosens' BLED20. Use BLED20 to apply
- them to your code. Enjoy.
