   VERSION 3.99 SERVICE RELEASE 17 - DECEMBER 16 2017   
   --------------------------------------------------   
      
   This is a very minor release which adds three new commands to DBUTIL   
   and fixes bugs discovered whilest hubbing mail on my own system.   
      
   The three new commands added are DBUTIL AREAFIX, DBUTIL AREAFIXRESCAN   
   and DBUTIL FILEFIX.   
      
   These new commands allow you to "fake" such requests from the DOS   
   prompt as if that system was sending you a request normally via *.PKT files.   
   It was possible to do this in any version of D'Bridge but not exactly in   
   an easy way... or an easy way that can be scripted.   
      
   WARNING: The DBUTIL ADD, DROP and REMOVE commands are no longer supported   
            as of this release. Please adjust any scripts or batch files   
            accordingly if you were using those commands.   
      
   Being able to "fake" Areafix/Filefix requests is a feature found in other   
   mail-tossing software and I decided to include it here for convenience;   
   the DBUTIL functionality lets you write your own scripts or batch files   
   to automate this in however which way you see fit.   
      
   D'Bridge will process these requests the next time it has to toss mail;   
   note that due to the way D'Bridge tosses mail, only one Areafix or Filefix   
   request can be pending at a time, per system. That means that if you run   
   this command for a system and there is already an existing Areafix/Filefix   
   request waiting to be processed for that Sysop, this command will fail.   
      
   When no areas are specified, a notification of the currently subscribed   
   areas is generated.   
      
   Now AREAFIXRESCAN is exactly the same as AREAFIX, except that an Areafix   
   request to add an area is given the "rescan" flag. Your system must   
   specifically support the rescanning of messages - If you are manipulating   
   your messages via a BBS or 3rd-party software, it may not be possible to   
   process a rescan-request for systems with DBUTIL AREAFIXRESCAN.   
      
   Areafix/Filefix requests generated from DBUTIL will be given NORMAL   
   priority with NO "override" authority (as in, not the same as pressing   
   ALT+N from the mailer). This means, a request is "faked" along with   
   permissions. This was designed to specifically aid in troubleshooting or   
   testing Areafix/Filefix requests. Requests will follow the security levels   
   you specifically define in CONFIG - AREAS, CONFIG - PACKET/MAIL CONTROL   
   and CONFIG - FILEECHO SETUP.   
      
   Here are some examples (assuming my system address, 1:229/426)   
      
   C:\DB> DBUTIL AREAFIX 1:229/427   
      
   This will send a notification list from my system, 1:229/426, to a   
   downlink of mine, 1:229/427, containing all of the currently connected   
   Echomail areas.   
      
   C:\DB> DBUTIL FILEFIX 1:229/427   
      
   This will send a notification list from 1:229/426 to 1:229/427 of the   
   currently connected EchoFILE/TIC areas.   
      
   C:\DB> DBUTIL AREAFIX 1:229/427 DBRIDGE FN_SYSOP -STATS   
      
   Fakes an Areafix request from 1:229/427 to 1:229/426, requesting the   
   DBRIDGE and FN_SYSOP echoes, but dropping STATS.   
      
   C:\DB> DBUTIL AREAFIXRESCAN 1:229/427 -FIDONEWS CHAT   
      
   Fakes an Areafix request from 1:229/427 to 1:229/426, requesting the   
   CHAT echo with a message rescan, and dropping FIDONEWS.   
      
   FIXES   
   -----   
      
   - A bug in the upgrade process messing up Filefix TIC passwords was fixed.   
      
   - A bug affecting the system log purge at midnight should be fixed now.   
      
   - The tiny program SLEEP, used for delaying scripts/batch files, is no   
     longer included with D'Bridge releases due to ongoing problems with   
     false-positives with Clam anti-virus. The SLEEP program can be downloaded   
     from http://www.net229.org/misc
