MBL514 Release Notes:
5.14 is another quick update which only adds a few minor changes.
The only action necessary is to rename your configuration file to
MBL514.CNF. The configuration file has not changed.
The full @BBS address may now be edited. Also, the full @BBS address,
any BID or Append File are also shown when you are editing a message.
The forwarding file now allows an additional option to indicate different
times for forwarding and reverse forwarding if you are using the same
file for both functions. The new format is:
GA WA7MXZ
03,06,09 <- forward to MXZ @ 3, 6, or 9
R <- following hours are for reverse forwarding
00-23 <- RvsFwd to him anytime
@ WA7MXZ-2 (the filesize options still may be used as before)
WA7MXZ
NTSUT
...
If you do not include the reverse forwarding lines, reverse forwarding
will default to the same hours as forwarding (as before). In other
words, you DO NOT need to change your forwarding files unless you have
a use for these new features.

MBL513 Release Notes:
5.13 is a quick update to 5.12 to add limited support to H-addressed
messages. The update was written in a couple of hours, so testing has
been very limited. I didn't even check to see if H-info was passed to
and from the SERVERS, so you may want to use this with caution if you
are using them.
A message I recently received from Hank indicated to me that the routing
of H-addressed mail has not been standardized, and the main concern was
simply to pass the H-addr on to the next guy. Rather than spend time
now doing any changes to the forwarding code, I have simply made a couple
of changes to accept and pass on the H-addr.
All H-Addr info WILL BE IGNORED by the forwarding routines which will
forward as always based only upon the @BBS callsign.
You need to make two changes to run this code.
You must run CVT513 which will convert MAILFILE.BTR to MAILINDX.BTR which
adds space for the H-addr info. (You must then either rename MAILINDX.BTR
back to MAILFILE.BTR or change the mail file name in BBS513.CNF!)
You also need to add your full H-address in a line following your callsign
in BBS513.CNF.

PS - my personal opinion is that the continent information (.NA in USA.NA) is
redundant and not necessary.
