2.A01 26-03-96 Problem of PC19 protocol (node login) is fixed. (Tks N6ND).

2.A02 26-03-96 When a user ask for the list of messages, only the newest
	       are send to him. The number of the last listed message is
	       now saved into the user information file.  (Tks N6ND)

2.A03 26-03-96 New user command "LL #N", to ask for the list of the #N last
	       messages.

2.A04 26-03-96 Check of validity of frequency had been changed (DX command).
	       Now I hope there will be no more "frequency is not correct"
	       error message for a right frequency especially on 30-meter
	       band. (Tks F5HDX, F5KEQ, N6ND).

2.A05 28-03-96 1.38h release is not correct. FORWARD.SYS file MUST be in
	       SYSTEM directory, not in DXNET. Sorry for the mistake and
	       thanks to CT1ENQ who detect the problem.

2.A06 28-03-96 2.A01 was not well done. Now it still be better. (Tks
	       N6ND)

2.A07 28-03-96 DxNet was not able to get more than 5 users in a PC16
	       protocol. The problem is fixed now.

2.A07 29-03-96 PC11 protocol (Dx spot) crashed when no comment was
	       specified by the user. The problem is fixed (Thanks N6ND).

2.A08  1-04-96 DXCC database crashed in the VE section. The problem is
	       fixed.

2.A09  1-04-96 Local database is now supported. The used format is compatible
	       with the existing one (packetcluster) but indexed file (.IDX)
	       is not supported yet. To install a database, put the .FUL
	       file into the DATABASE directory and then define it into
	       the SYSTEM\LOCAL.CFG file.

	       Format of SYSTEM\LOCAL.CFG:
		   <Command1> <FileName1>
		   <Command2> <FileName2>
		   <Command3> <FileName3>
		   etc...

	       For example, assume you want to add a IOTA database and a
	       QSL database:
		  User commands  : SHow/IOTA
				   SHow/QSL
		  Database files : DATABASE\IOTA.FUL
				   DATABASE\QSLINFO.FUL
		  Add the two following lines into SYSTEM\LOCAL.CFG
		  IOTA IOTA
		  QSL QSLINFO

	       Format of the database file (ex QSL.FUL):
		   key
		   text
		   text
		   text
		   ...
		   &&

	       - key is the key DxNet will look for (must be one a line).
	       - text is following the key and may be of any format.
	       - && is the terminator of a record.

	       The number of record is unlimited.

	       You can define some special key in the .FUL file:
		   #LIS   information displayed if no qualifier is entered
			  by the user.
		   #CAL   same as #LIS
		   #PRE   information displayed before the record
		   #POST  information displayed after the record
		   #NF    information displayed if the qualifier is not found

	       This special key are hardcoded ; SysOp cannot change them.

	       In futur release, some new special key will be add.

	       "%s" keywords may be use anywhere on the line in the database
	       file and is replaced by the entry (e.g. %s is replaced by
	       TM1C is the user type SH/QSL TM1C).

2.A10  2-04-96 Database chaining is supported. This may be use to search
	       an entry in a second database if it is not found in the
	       first.

	       For example, assume you want to chain the database QSLNEW to
	       the database QSL. Then, if the entry is not found in QSL
	       database, the QSLNEW database is searched.

	       To define a chaining database, put the database command name
	       next to the database you want to chain in SYSTEM\LOCAL.CFG.

	       Example :
	       QSL QSL QSLNEW
	       QSLNEW QSLNEW

2.A11  6-04-96 Users cannow define a page size. When the specified number
	       of lines has been displayed, a line ask the user to press
	       Enter.

	       SET/PAGE command is used to set the page size. A value
	       of 0 disable page size control.

	       SET/USER/PAGE command can used by the sysop too.

2.A12a 6-04-96 Some valid spot was not displayed when using SH/DX <band>
	       command. (Tks F5HDX).

	       A problem when no spot existed on the searched band is
	       also fixed.

2.A12b 6-04-96 Use of some commands changed the status of a killed mail
	       to another one. The problem is fixed (Tks F5HDX).

2.A12c 6-04-96 New command : DELete (dos subcommand). These command deletes
	       a file.

2.A12d 6-04-96 Input buffer crashed time to times using PcFlexNet. The
	       problem is fixed.

2.A13  7-04-96 New sysop command : PING <call>. Displays the time needed
	       to send and receive back a trame to the DxCluster <call>.
	       Usefull to test a cluster link.

	       PC51 protocol has been create to support Ping protocol.

2.A14  7-04-96 A problem with the DXDiddle command is fixed.

2.A15a 8-04-96 Alias command have been created :
	       DEQ/FWQ: FA
	       QUE/FWQ: FD
	       SH/FWQ:  FT
	       SH/CL:   SH/C

2.15b  8-04-96 New console commands : RUN <command> or SHELL <command>.
	       Execute the <command> DOS command. If <command> is not
	       specified, the command interpreter (COMMAND.COM) is run
	       to allows sysop to perform any DOS command witouth leaving
	       DxNet until "EXIT" command.

	       * WARNING * : DxNet activity is suspended while executing
	       DOS command.

2.15c  8-04-96 You can now run an extern editor to edit a file from the
	       console without leaving DxNet. This extern editor may be
	       any DOS editor program, as soon as it doesnt need too much
	       memory as left.

	       Set the editor name you want to use by define the "DXEDIT"
	       variable from the environnement.

	       For example, assume you want to use, say the MSDOS EDIT editor.
	       Put the following line into the AUTOEXEC.BAT :
	       SET DXEDIT=EDIT

	       If this variable is set, use of "edit" command from the
	       console will run the defined editor without leaving
	       DxNet. If not, then the old dxnet'editor will use.

	       * WARNING * : DxNet activity is suspended while executing
	       extern editor.

	       You may want to run the old dxnet'editor even an extern editor
	       is defined ... Then use the command "edit/old".

2.16   9-04-96 Database index is now supported. To create a index file,
	       use the program FUL2IDX.EXE into the database directory.

	       This will increase for about 1000 pourcents the time needed
	       to found a key !!

	       DxNet is able to detect and use automaticaly an indexed
	       database file if it exist. You don't need to declare it.

	       * WARNING * : My index file is not compatible with the
	       AK1A's index.

	       (Many thanks to Laurent F6FVY)

	       the buffer).

2.17d 17-04-96 A system like the doskey is supported from the console. Use
	       it by pressing UP-key or DOWN-key.

2.17e 18-04-96 First line of script file was case sensitive. If in lower
	       case, once connection to the same cluster was possible (and
	       this will result in a crash of course). Now this line may
	       in lower or upper case. (Tks DL3MEW).

2.18f 18-04-96 On PcFlexNet, you can not quit and then run again dxnet :
	       in some unknown condition this will result in a crash
	       when dxnet try to execute a script file. (Tks DL3MEW).

	       My suggestion is to unload pcflex and then load it again
	       before running dxnet to avoid this problem.

2.19a 18-04-96 Hardcoded user connection message has been removed.

2.19b 18-04-96 Some symbols may be use in any file of the HELP directory.

	       %h : Time
	       %n : Name of user
	       %N : Number of new mail waiting
	       %u : Callsign of user

2.19c 18-04-96 The file HELP\FIRST.HLP is sent when an user make a connection
	       for the first time.
	       This allow to explain a new comer how to define user profil
	       for example.
	       There is 3 way to give more information to this user :
		 - A database, called SH/NEWUSER
		 - A file HELP\NEW.HLP (user can display it by ? NEW command)
		 - A message in the mail box (don't forget to set it as
		   SET/NOAUTODELele).

2.19d 18-04-96 The file HELP\NEWMAIL.HLP is sent after CTEXT file if there
	       are new mails waiting for the user how just made a connection
	       to DxNet.

	       A '*' next to the callsign (SH/CONF and SH/U) informs that
	       the station is in the cluster-wide conference.

2.21c 20-04-96 You can now connect the switch (both BPQ and PcFlexNet)
	       directly from the console.

	       Connect : Connect the console to the switch (no call is
			 needed because the connection is made anyway with
			 the digipeater of the node)

	       MYAlias : This command sets the callsign (and SSID) you
			 want to use for the connection.

			 Note if you are using G8BPQ switch :
			 ENABLE_LINKED command (BPQCFG.TXT) must be set
			 to A or Y.

	       DIGI    : This command MUST be use to select one of the
