+8. tidied up the talking a bit more.

+11. check more of the essential protocol fields for 8 bit characters.
+29Jul00=======================================================================
+1. added forward/latlong which will forward ALL the users that have a latitude
+and longitude set on them to one or more locally connected nodes - with a hop
+count of 1.
+2. speeded up the show/node command by using the DB_File interface and
+sequentially reading the data directly and only 'get'ting the ones that are
+nodes.
+3. did the same for show/isolate and show/lockout.
+28Jul00=======================================================================
+1. fixed watchdbg midnight rollover loop and removed the date part of the
+date/time translation to leave just the time.

+3. Make sure a privilege is defined for all users (even if it is 0).
+4. Try to fix some more dups (and the time on them).
+5. make the time stored on dups generated locally on spots an integer no of
+minutes * 60
+6. send unsolicited PC[38]5s to the sysop if online.
+7. merged current html from www.dxcluster.org with Ian's stuff
+8. Added sgml files into the source tree

+4. changed updating and deleting from user file in an attempt to keep down
+duplicates and possibly corruptions.
+5. added a DXUser::export routine to allow the cluster to automatically
+export the user data in ascii from cron.

+7. delete annok and dxok if set to 1 in user records.

+12. added an 'auto rcmd <node> for/oper <call>' for people I can see on the
+cluster that issue spots and for whom I have no qra info (no more than once
+a month). This isn't the default - set $send_opernam in
+/spider/local/DXProtVars.pm (copied from /spider/perl). Good for gateways.
+13. Despace spot texts properly again for deduping purposes.
+14. Corrected Pc84/85 handling a bit.

+corruptions and duplicates.

+blanks at the end of lines.
+25Jun00=======================================================================
+1. added 0 to the regex that checks for valid data on the cluster.pl->client
+channel - this will allow G0VGS and G0RDI to connect....
+2. removed technically unnecessary /= 60 from the dup routines to see if
+Arnold's Sparcs don't then crash.
+19Jun00=======================================================================
+1. move ann_dup, spot_dup etc to dup_ann, dup_spots etc
+2. made mode 3 the default line ending convention for all out going connects
+via telnet in client.pl
