GremNOS 0.2b -- a slightly modified version of GremNOS 0.2 ========================================================== GremNOS 0.2b was compiled by Simon Turner to make three minor changes to the original Graham E. Kinns version (which can be found at ). The changes are as follows: 1. Fixed the year display in directory listings to be Y2K-compliant (i.e. show only 2 digits; 2000 is "00" rather than "100") 2. Turned off the "always split mail lines after 255 characters" option in the SMTP server; this kludge for TED users was a bit of a mis-feature, because any header lines of exactly 255 chars before the newline would cause a blank line to appear immediately after the long header line, making it seem that *this* was the end of the message headers, rather than the actual end (which occurs later). 3. Added new code to the SMTP server to "escape" any "Status:" header line which is present in incoming mail, at the point where the mail is copied to a user mailbox; this header field should never be present in transmitted mail (see RFC 2076), because there are various MTAs and MUAs that make use of "Status:" themselves and could be confused by its appearance in newly-received mail; any "Status:" lines in the header of new messages are written as ">Status:", similarly to the way in which lines starting with "From " are protected. I've only compiled the "Lite" build so far; if anyone wants one of the others ("Large" or "TW_Lite"), let me know and I'll do it for you. The "Lite" executable is available in lite_02b.zip; the changed source files are available in gnos02bs.zip. Simon Turner 22 August 2001
