Features added to Ezycom V1.20 Release
    o    Filespec search now appends *.* if the user does not add
         it
    o    Added new q-a commands
         SETWANTCHAT <ON|OFF|TOGGLE>
         SETEXCLUDEUSER <ON|OFF|TOGGLE>
         SETCOMBINEDMAIL <ON|OFF|TOGGLE>
         SETHOLDMAIL <ON|OFF|TOGGLE>
    o    you can now turn on/off allowing of taglines for blue wave
         mail... configurable in the offline section of config
    o    in BadFiles.Ctl, you can now specify files that are ONLY
         allowed to be uploaded to your system.  You do this by
         placing a "+" in front of the filename (Wildcards are valid).
         For instance, if you only wanted to allow uploads of archived
         files, your BadFiles.Ctl may look like...

         +*.ZIP
         +*.ARJ
         +*.RAR
         +*.ZOO
         +*.LHA
         +*.LZH
    o    added the ability for nodes to request conferences on your
         uplinks system.  In the node manager, place the filename that
         lists the available conferences your uplink has, in the
         node manager entry for your uplink.  When a downlink requests
         a conference that you do not have, it searches all nodes, which
         match at least one echo manager group, for an area list.  It then
         searches the area list, and if it finds a match, it will request
         the conference from that node.
    o    when ezymail or ezyutil adds new conferences to your message base,
         it will now set the current users combined setting according to the
         initial combined setting used in auto adding the conference.
    o    When you press "S" in a file listing, it will now immediately
         bring up the more prompt.
    o    When ezynet exports netmail with file attaches, it now marks
         them as kill sent, if they were uploaded into the file attach
         path.
    o    Wrote a program to list the directories with a from and to switch
         (much the same as ezyidx)
         EZYUTIL2 -LIST<filename [-FROM<1...xxx>] [-TO<1...xxx>]
         DOS32, WIN95/NT and OS/2 versions have been written
    o    view archive now supports RAR & SQZ and does archive
         detection so that you can view .AR1 for instance

Features added to Ezycom 1.20g1
    o    added corrupt warnings to config.  Ezycom knows that certain
         files must be certain lengths.  When these files are not,
         Config will report that this file is corrupt.  So, that you
         can restore/fix the offending file.  This should aid fault
         correction.  Files checked are
         FILES.EZY, FILEPATH.EZY, MESSAGES.EZY, ECHOMGR.EZY,
         PROTOCOL.EZY
    o    added delete files that are xx days old and that are
         xx days old on the system
         you can configure it in config->files
    o    implemented a maximum age of upload
         it can be configured in config->files->files misc
         0 disables it (default is disabled)
         if the user uploads a file that is older than it, the user
         is told the file is too old, and it is rejected.  The actual
         prompt is configurable in langedit.
         (Registered Versions Only)
    o    added bluewave support to ezycom
         (Registered versions only)
    o    config, ezyutil and ezymail all create messages.idx after
         adding/sorting/modifying a message area.  Messages.Idx is
         currently used by EzyBlueWave for detecting the upload area,
         but in future it will have much wider usage.
    o    added alt-s alt-r search/repeat search in ezyed
    o    Ezycom now uses the QA Path in the language
         setup
    o    the menu prompt in ezymenu now allows leading/trailing blanks
    o    global setting of conversion in file areas now also allows RAR
         to be set

         (ANSI/AVATAR only)
         SETBOXTYPE <0-4>
         Sets the border style for line and box drawing
            0 is 诳某蕾
            1 is 苫秃燃
            2 is 崭统跃
            3 is 址暮咏
            4 is ++-|++

         eg: SETBOXTYPE 2

         DRAWLINEX <x co> <y co> <width>
         Draws a line along the x access.

         eg: DRAWLINEX 5 5 20

         DRAWLINEY <x co> <y co> <height>
         Draws a line along the y access.

         eg: DRAWLINEY 5 5 10

         DRAWBOX <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2>
         Draws a box

         eg: DRAWBOX 5 5 75 20
    o    added Alt-D while editing a menu line in ezymenu

         a menu you also have the option to delete it)
    o    added AltS and AltR search/repeat to langedit
    o    added a new switch in file areas which allows you to delete
         files that have not been downloaded in xx days.

         xx days after arrived on the systems.

    o    completed 32 aka support in config (New Echo Configuration
         only previously allowed upto 20 aka)

         switch in the current area.  Also, you now have to upload
         your netmail file attaches, instead of specifying a path.
    o    Date of Birth Security Check now takes notice of
         US Dates.
    o    added security password for stopping people exiting the

         this allows you to have different text paths/menu paths for different
         languages.  Default means, use this as the default language when
