  LiQUiD Version 1.19 Revision D :

    In this revision a few more configurable strings were added,
    code was optimized, a few new ansis were added, origin line length
    extended to 80 characters per line, external config made so it's
    bearable to look at, netting in all conferences is now supported
    (Go to the node editor and tell it what conference you are netting
    from for PlazmA Net), a net-mail delay setting in the config(If
    the HUB to PlazmA Net is running a front-end mailer, you will
    need to set that delay to 15-18 seconds, if the hub is NOT
    running a Front-End Mailer, the delay should be set to 4 seconds!),
    and of course the long-awaited FIDO Net Support!

    Why so few changes this month, compared to last month? I was tired
    and needed a rest, so be happy you got a big and much-needed feature
    added as well as a few good, but small ones.

    What will happen for 1.19 Revision E? Most likly Multi-Node support.
    This is a very popular and needed feature, it demands my attention.

    Ok a few things to note : Before you change to 1.19 D, BACKUP YOUR
    LIQUID DIR AND ALL SUB-DIRS! Then, run the file MSGCONV.EXE. It will
    convert your message structures to those of your new copies of LiQUiD,
    add FIDO Variables, and add the 80 char's per line on your origin lines.

    Next, run NODECONV.EXE, it will convert your nodelist.bbs to support
    your net in any conference (This pertains to PlazmA Net's location
    ONLY, NOT FIDO, etc etc) If you don't run this, your net will be
    fucked. Run it before you net or do anything, to be safe.
    
    Once that is done, you need to call me, and get a new reg file for
    LiQUiD. I have changed the reg routines, and EVERYONE must get a new
    registration file from me before LiQUiD will work right again. So,
    call Crewel Lye and chat me or email me, the quicker the better, for
    you and me.

    After that, you need to run the new config.exe, and answer the new
    questions in there. Also EVERYONE - Work on your origin lines!
    I added space for 80 chars both lines, USE IT. Make it look good.

    If you don't do the above mentioned directions, life will be hard, so
    let's follow directions, and get things done quickly and efficiently.

    I need the net to be more active also, sysops. Let's do what
    we can to enhance the activity in the net, ok?

    Info on FIDO Support:

    The way FIDO works on LiQUiD is you have a tosser called FIDOTOSS.EXE.
    FIDOTOSS.EXE IMPORTS, EXPORTS, and PURGES messages. Export is used to
    toss messages from LiQUiD struture to FIDO stucture. Import tosses
    from FIDO to LiQUiD, and Purge deletes the converted messages.
    Once you export with FIDOTOSS.EXE, you should use a tossing program
    like TOSSCAN.EXE to convert to FrontDoor structures, then use FrontDoor
    or another Front-End mailer to do your net.

    If you're interested in being in a FIDO net, you should know what
    to do. If not, learn elsewhere, I write the compatibility, not
    manuals. I will not be giving any support as to setting up FIDO,
    I will take any bug reports gladly however, or any suggestions.
    Let me know.

    Keep in mind that this _IS_ a beta for FIDO-Net. It may work, and
    it may not. I am pretty damned sure it will work, but I am also
    sure some bugs will be encountered.

    Ok, Inside your message sponsor, this is an example of how you should
    set it up for FIDO :

    1)   Area Name            :(FIDO NET Area Name)
    2)   Echo Mail Conference :(IF a FIDO area, this MUST BE SET to 222)
    3)   Area Flag Number     :(Irrelevent to the FIDO Net)
    4)   Access Level         :(Irrelevent to the FIDO Net)
    5)   Access Name/Number   :(Irrelevent to the FIDO Net)
    6)   Maximum messages     :(Irrelevent to the FIDO Net)
    7)   Sponsor              :(Irrelevent to the FIDO Net)
    8)   Fido Address         :(Enter your FIDO Address here. Ex: 69:1713/10 for CCi)
    9)   Fido Directory       :(You MUST put a seperate directory for EACH FIDO Message
    Base. You must make this dir yourself. Ex: C:\LiQUiD\BOARDS\1 for area 1,
    C:\LiQUiD\BOARDS\2 for area 2, etc. You MUST make these dirs in order for
    the net to work.)
    10)  Fido Origin          :(Enter your FIDO Origin Line here. This will NOT show
    up if you didn't say your echo ID was 222, MAKE SURE YOU DID IF THIS IS A FIDO AREA!)
    11)  Net Name             :(Name of your net. If FIDO or not, specify anyway.
    Ex: PlazmA Net, CCi, Felony, Etc)


    Any suggestions or bugs, make a text file and upload it to my board.

    Thanks.
