Changes to BPQMailChat - Version 1.0.2.9
Chat seems much more stable with this version, but it contains extra logging to help track down any remaining problems.
Most SYSOP commands can now be placed in the Forward Scrpt. This is mainly for HF forwarding. e.g.:
PACLEN 80 PACLEN is a user level command - doesnt need SYSOP status
PASSWORD (the word PASSWORD, not a password! causes immediate entry to SYSOP Mode if entered locally
MAXFRAME 4 1
RETRIES 4 10
FRACK 4 30 Frack is in units of 1/3 secs.
C 4 CALLSIGN
Note that PACLEN only changes the values for the current session. Tho others stay as set.
FBB Binary Forwarding mode B1 is now supported. This includes Resume, although I can't get Resume to work to FBB.
It works fine FBB-BPQ and BPQ-BPQ.
The Max FBB forwarding Block Size is now set per BBS.
An option to hold messages from a user has been added. This is the default for new users.

wrong without it being obvious.
Housekeeping is now run at startup if the system was down at the last housekeeping time.
Adds the defined links to the /p display, so you can easily check that the station you are trying to link
to has you defined as a node.
Sends messages if available after rejecting all proposals. It used to just send FF.
Don't try to send msg back to originator. It used to try - the message was rejected on the BID, but it was a waste of time.
Fix timeband processing when none specified. It should default to 0000-2359.
Improved Chat Help display.
