1.24 - Fixed a bug that, under certain conditions, incorrectly identified
(11/5/93) ads as having already been entered into the CRC database, when in
fact, they had not. The end result was the perception that AntiAd
was not removing some BBS ads. It would be a good idea to use the
distribution database included in this archive and add your ad files
back in.

1.23 - Added code to preprocess filenames prior to comparison, changing any
(8-17-93) Alt-255 characters to a keyboard space, and stripping all trailing
spaces. This should further strengthen the BBS ad detection by name
system.

1.22 - A bug was discovered where if a text BBS ad file was detected by
(8-3-93) keyword, the keywords were at the end of the file, and a very small
file followed, the very small file would be removed as a BBS ad as
well.

Updated the documentation to include my new BBS phone numbers and
home address effective August 16, 1993, as I've moved to Raleigh,
NC.

1.21 - When processing an archive that contains nested archives and using
(7-5-93) the list file mode of AntiAd, if an ad was found before the nested
archive was processed, it would not be removed. Fixed.

1.20 - CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE!!! AntiAd now supports detection of
(6-28-93) 0-byte BBS ad detection by filename. Refer the to new parameters
NAME_LIST and NAME_DISP in the documentation.

Thanks to Darrell Vaughn and Donald Cart providing their collections
of BBS ads to me, the BBS ad database has almost doubled in size. It
now contains over 310 unique BBS ad files. If anyone else has a
number of BBS ad files, I would greatly appreciate more ad files for
the distribution database.

1.11 - If a BBS ad file of 0-byte length was added to the BBS ads database,
(6-17-93) every 0-byte file encountered would be removed as a BBS ad. AntiAd
will no longer allow 0-byte files to be added to its database; if
you have done so, please use the database distributed with AntiAd
and add the BBS ads you have collected back in, if applicable.

1.10 - CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE!!! AntiAd is now capable of executing a
(3-7-93) second program before returning to the upload processor. By using
the parameter CHK_CMD_LINE, AntiAd can now be installed into upload
processors that do not support more than 1 file checking program.
AntiAd will execute, scan and remove BBS ads, then call the file
checker (if configured) then return to upload processor after the
subprocess has been completed.

1.00 - CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE!!! The parameter CRC_DISP has been
(2-12-93) renamed to DB_DISP.

If no log file was defined in the AntiAd configuration file, AntiAd
would exit with a null pointer error. Fixed.

Fixed a bug where if AD_ERRLEV or NO_AD_ERRLEV were set to a value
greater than 100, AntiAd would beep. This did not inhibit operation,
but could be annoying in the middle of the night.

Optimized the code for enhanced performance. AntiAd is now a minimum
of two times as fast as previous versions.
