-
-<P>In earlier versions of Spider, all the processes were Perl scripts. This
-was fine but with a lot of users your computer memory would soon be used up.
-To combat this a new client was written in "C". This client only works for
-<EM>incoming</EM> connects at the moment. Before you can use it though it
-has to be "made". CD to /spider/src and type <EM>make</EM>. You
-should see the output on your screen and hopefully now have a small C program
-called <EM>client</EM>. Leave it in this directory.

+
+<P>In the /spider/msg directory you will find a file called badmsg.pl.issue. Rename
+this to badmsg.pl and edit the file. The original looks something like this ....

+# the list of regexes for messages that we won't store having
+# received them (bear in mind that we must receive them fully before
+# we can bin them)
+
+
+# The format of each line is as follows
+
+# type source pattern
+# P/B/F T/F/O/S regex
+
+# type: P - private, B - bulletin (msg), F - file (ak1a bull)
+# source: T - to field, F - from field, O - origin, S - subject
+# pattern: a perl regex on the field requested
+
+# Currently only type B and P msgs are affected by this code.
+#
+# The list is read from the top down, the first pattern that matches
+# causes the action to be taken.
+
+# The pattern can be undef or 0 in which case it will always be selected

+<P>
+<P>I think this is fairly self explanatory. It is simply a list of subject
+headers that we do not want to pass on to either the users of the cluster or
+the other cluster nodes that we are linked to. This is usually because of
+rules and regulations pertaining to items for sale etc in a particular country.

+<P><B><I>From version 1.47, this method is replaced by the command set/baddx</I></B>
+<P>
+<P>In the same way as mail, there are some types of spot we do not wish to pass on
+to users or linked cluster nodes. In the /spider/data directory you will find
+a file called baddx.pl.issue. Rename this to baddx.pl and edit the file. The
+original looks like this ....

+<P>
+<P>Again, this is simply a list of names we do not want to see in the spotted
+field of a DX callout.

+<H2><A NAME="ss2.3">2.3 Filtering words from text fields in Announce, Talk and DX spots</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>Create a file in /spider/data called <EM>badwords</EM>. The format is quite
+simple. Lines beginning with # are ignored so comments can be added. An
+example file is below ...
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+# Below is a list of words we do not wish to see on the cluster
+grunge grunged grunging
+splodge splodger splodging
+grince
+fluffle
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+<P>Multiple words can be used on the same line as shown. Obviously these
+are just examples :-)
+<P>
+<P>You can reload the file from the cluster prompt as sysop with load/badwords.
