+remember to set $allow=1 as well! The new interface comes courtesy of Fred
+LLoyd, the proprietor of http://www.qrz.com

+03Nov00=======================================================================
+1. allow - in filter strings
+2. store only the filter expression NOTE BENE: you will need to clear all
+your existing filters and re-enter them!!!!!!
+3. Added announce filtering
+4. Fixed problem with announce filtering on output to the node
+02Nov00=======================================================================
+1. updated filtering logic. You will need to RECREATE your filters (clear/spot
+all, then start again) for testing.
+2. allow PC73 for DXNet
+3. added some help text for filtering and filtering spots in particular.
+01Nov00=======================================================================
+1. put PC11 field 2 check back to m for pc text.
+2. improve 'simple' callsign checking
+3. Added the first cut of the new user/sysop filtering code. This cut works
+for spots and the syntax is:-
+
+accept/spots [<call>] [input] [<filterno>] things ..
+reject/spots [<call>] [input] [<filterno>] things ..
+
+where things are:
+ freq 0/30000 | hf | hf/cw | 6m,4m,2m
+ call G,PA,HB9
+ info iota
+ by G,PA,HB9
+ call_dxcc 61,62
+ call_itu 31
+ call_zone 14,15,16
+ by_dxcc 61,62
+ by_itu 31
+ by_zone 14,15,16
+ origin GB7,MB7
+ channel GB7DJK,GB7BAA
+
+You can simply string these together on one line one after the other and
+there is an implied 'and', you can also string together with 'or' 'not' (or
+'!') and '(' and ')' - in otherwords an arbitrary expression.
+
+You can see what you have done with:
+
+show/filter [<call>]
+
+You can clear your work with:
+
+clear/spots [<call>] [input] [<filterno>|all]
+
+Have fun and someone please write the documentation.
+4. Added show/msg_status.pl sysop command (shows some info on what is busy in
+the message system)
+31Oct00=======================================================================
+1. add 0x8e to the list of characters we clobber (make xterm go into graphics
+mode).
+30Oct00=======================================================================
+1. put in new Filter::it code and tested it. Now all we have to do is write
+the user access routines (oh and the help files!).
+29Oct00=======================================================================
+1. put in echo cancelling measures into the clients. This doesn't mean you
+shouldn't take steps to prevent echoing on node links, but it may help where
+(whatever you do) it still bloody echos! This is experimental.
+2. store dxchan and mynode as callsigns (and not references) in the routing
+tables and do some checking in accessors to see if we can capture some errors.
+3. tart up the stat/chan etc display to give more useful debugging info
+28Oct00=======================================================================
+1. updated show/sun and show/moon from stuff sent by Steve Franke K9AN
+2. added show/call which queries jeifer.pineknot.com for any call in the
+world (as opposed to UALR which only does US calls). Inspired by a bit of
+perl sent to me by Steve Franke (again!) and also Angel EA7WA who gave me the
+pineknot ip address.
+3. fixed clients so that they accept -0 as a valid SSID and then strip it off
+as though they had come in without (why has this taken so long to appear? How
+long have we been running this code ??????).
+27Oct00=======================================================================
+1. alter the code in clean_old of DXMsg system to see if we get some different
+behaviour with random crashing
+26Oct00=======================================================================
+1. if there is a 'connected' file in /spider/data then the client will send
+it out to the user after connection.
+25Oct00=======================================================================
+1. fix catchup and uncatchup commands so that they accept ranges
+24Oct00=======================================================================
+1. added cty.dat from http://www.k1ea.com/cty/index.htm to the prefix_data.pl
+data file and modified create_prefix.pl accordingly.
+2. the 'no text line' messages should now propagate correctly
+3. added the dxcc, itu and cq zone numbers for announcer and origining node
+on announce filters - see the /spider/filter/ann/*.issue files for more info.
+4. you can now specify a 'user_default.pl', 'node_default.pl' and
+'in_node_default.pl' in each of the filter directories
+23Oct00=======================================================================
+1. Added K5K as Kingman Reef
+1. Added K7K as Kure
+17Oct00=======================================================================
+1. force frames to go down the local interface when doing a route. This is
+particularly important for pings!
+16Oct00=======================================================================
+1. add a ':' after 'G7BRN de G1TLH' in a talk message.
+2. added /J to the list of things to ignore (as in G1TLH/J) in prefix
+processing (ie /J mean Jota not /JA [Japan]).
+3. change all INCOMING 00-08 0A-1F and 9B characters that make it past the
+intermediate client->server protocol to '.'.
+04Sep00=======================================================================
+1. made PC10,11,12 badword checking dependant on a flag variable ($censorpc)
+default = 0 (off).
02Sep00=======================================================================
1. fix a long standing talk bug to do with routing to specific nodes (t xxx >
yyy .....)
sent on. Also ann, talk and dx commands have badword checking added. Words
are NOT case sensitive, but you will need to put all the endings in (eg
...k, ...ker, ...king).
+3. Added new version of admin manual from G0VGS.
01Sep00=======================================================================
1. allow blank on field 4 of PC10 (even though it's "illegal").
28Aug00=======================================================================
