+1. reduced the amount of stuff compared against for dup announces.
+2. Check the regex for DK0WCY announces produces results before storing it as
+a WWV.
+3. Added some logging for set/priv (un)set/lockout.
+4. Added test long path calc to sh/muf
+5. Only wonder down the msg queue every minute
+6. Put in the initial DB code (at last), you can create and remove local and
+standard remote dbs, you can import AK1A style .FUL ascii databases, you can
+enquire on a local or remote database.
+7. A return ping to a node will clear down all outstanding pings to
+that node (which might cause some confusion if more then one ping is
+outstanding for a node, but then - shit happens).
+04Nov99=======================================================================
+1. Removed ~ from the end of the PC18.
+2. Removed a hangover from duff character checking in cluster.pl
+3. Stop PC frames that are to be routed, being routed back to themselves.
+03Nov99=======================================================================
+1. Simplified command caching so it uses anonymous subroutines, you should
+also get error messages back on the console now when developing.
+2. Allow locally connected AK1A clusters that for some obscure reason don't
+issue PC19s to still appear as connected and allow them to acquire users.

+1. updated Minimuf.pm and show/muf.pl to the fixed versions sent to me by
+Steve Franke K9AN. 
+2. Made set/badnodes work, added show/badnodes. This is an interim fix until
+input spot filtering works.
+24Oct99=======================================================================
+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).

+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

 4. added callsign and length of history/position of screen stats to console.

-on the way as it has extra data items in it now).
+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. 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
