+1. fixed announces so that nodes only get one of them (not two).
+2. Altered the select timeouts to prevent apparent excessive CPU usage on
+multiprocessor machines (or at least that is what seems to be the trouble
+here). 
+22Oct99=======================================================================
+1. allow filter CALLSIGNS to be in upper or lower case.
+2. create the concept of input and output filters, input filters are of the 
+form "in_$call.pl" eg: "in_g1tlh.pl" (or "in_G1TLH.pl"), output filters are 
+"g1tlh.pl" (or "G1TLH.pl").
+3. all users can now filter on spots, ann and wwv (assuming the sysop has set
+the filters up - still no user creatable filters. Nodes can filter on both
+input for announces and output for all of these. I would recommend setting 
+up a few filters that are likely to be wanted and then symlinking callsigns
+to them as you get requests.
+4. added callsign and length of history/position of screen stats to console.
+If you want to change the colour of the callsign you will need to copy the
+Console.pm to your /spider/local directory and change the $mycallcolor equate.

 1. fixed reply so that reply b or reply nop generate a bulletin with the 
 correct address.
 2. implemented sh/muf command.
-3. reduced privilege of catchup and uncatchup to 5.
+3. reduced privilege of catchup and uncatchup to 5. This so that, suitably
+privileged, nodes that occasionally link can rcmd a "catchup <nodecall> all"
+to the node they are connecting to and thus prevent a large tranche of, 
+potentially duplicate, mail. This isn't an issue for DXSpider, but may be
+an issue for any AK1A clusters you are connected to.

 1. Translated all the subroutines of minimuf into perl as Minimuf.pm
 2. Limited the length of an ANN that is saved for de-duping to $pc12_dup_lth
