VERSION 4 - JUNE 29 2024
------------------------

- Major improvements to DBUTIL EXPORT and you may now specify exactly which
Echomail groups to export, in your choice of several wonderful outputs:

AREAS.BBS - "Standard" Areas.BBS format file.
AREAS.JTT - Just the Echomail Tags.
AREAS.JTD - Just the area name and Fido *.MSG directories.
AREAS.JAD - Just area names padded up to 54 spaces, and description.
AREAS.JTA - Just area names, a space, and last date received.
AREAS.JTF - Same as JTA but date field first.
AREAS.JTM - Same as JTF but showing received dates for this month only.
AREAS.JFD - Just Fido *.MSG directories only.

ie.

DBUTIL EXPORT AREAS.JAD B will export areas and descriptions to
the text file AREAS.JAD for only areas matching group B.

You can also optionally specify security, ie:

DBUTIL EXPORT AREAS.JAD A 50 will export group A and areas equal to or
less than security level 50.

And if that wasn't enough.... you can also specify an optional period
with the security to return X days of last scan/unpack activity, ie:

DBUTIL EXPORT AREAS.JAD A 50 30

Will return areas in group A, security 50 that have had Echomail traffic
in the last 30 days.

- After running DBUTIL EXPORT AREAS.JTF, type SORT AREAS.JTF > NEWSORT.TXT
and then look at this new file; "Unknown" or areas with no last received
date information will be listed first, followed by oldest to newest.

SORT /R AREAS.JTF > NEWSORT.TXT can produce active areas on your D'Bridge
system newest-to-oldest. Likewise if you used JTM, you could use that one
to produce monthly stats if desired.

- Creating DBEXIT.252 will restart the mailer.

- Automatic mailer restart in some cases.

- Should fix 768k memory allocation on Tandy 1000 SL, TL and RL models.

- Should improve performance on Windows 95, 98 and ME.

- Minor cleanup of temporary files.

- Update to Readme file.
