+1. remove dupe check on local sysop announces
+2. fix format errors on sh/muf for 5.8.0
+3. add new version of the administration manual that includes WinCVS with
+thanks to K1XX (g0vgs).
+17Oct02=======================================================================
+1. added new Spanish files for help and Messages from Angel, EA7WA.
+16Oct02=======================================================================
+1. decrease the default max length of PC16/19 to around 180 characters to be
+slightly friendlier to ARC, which seems to have a difficulty reconstructing
+lines from multiple packets. Also make the value settable via set/var.
+2. strip off blank spaces from the ends of lines of  command output.
 15Oct02=======================================================================
 1. made some detail changes to the raw USDB data and the routines that 
 generate and operate on them. There were some bugs involving a few 'missing'
 callsigns which been fixed. Also there were some, for our purposes, invalid
 callsigns in the database which have been removed (down to about 820,000 
 entries now). You should really update your database. 
+
+The latest code now (conditionally; ie if you have it loaded it will use it)
+support Compress::Zlib on both *nux and Windows. The suggested procedure 
+is this:-
+
+1. Download the corrected database from
+   http://www.dxcluster.org/download/usdbraw.gz to somewhere like /tmp.
+2. update from CVS.
+3. Restart (on linux, just stop the node and *don't* restart on Windows).
+4. remove /spider/data/usdb.v1
+5. cd /spider/perl
+6. (perl) create_usdb.pl /tmp/usdbraw.gz (or wherever you put it)
+6a. If you don't have Compress::Zlib loaded then you will need to gunzip
+    it manually and do: create_usdb.pl /tmp/usdbraw (not Windows :-)
+7. on linux, in a console window do: load/usdb, on windows: restart the node. 
+--
+2. Added set/usdb command to add adding or changing of a callsign in the USDB
+3. Stop dupe spots from the same spotter (with or without comment corruption)
 14Oct02=======================================================================
 1. added show/usdb command as a simple, direct interface to the information
 available in the USDB stuff.
