Introduction
============

This program implements a complete Gateway to Fido networks.
It enables the exchange of NetMail, EchoMail, Tick Files,
Node Lists and Diffs, AreaFix and AllFix messages between
VBBS and Fido. VBBS and VFIDO are fully capable of handling
all Fido type Network calls as a Front End Mailer, though you
can use FrontDoor as a Front End Mailer.


Release Notes
=============

7.05    Changed the Word Wrap routines to prevent them from word-wrapping
        Kludge lines over 79 characters long (not that there should be any!)
7.05    Modified the incoming Tick processor to make it place the Short
        description of the file in the Long description field if the file
        does not contain a FILE_ID.DIZ, instead of using the control
        information from the Tick file as the Long description
7.05    Replaced a number of Shell to Dos functions with internal VFIDO
        programming to speed up execution
7.05    Modified the routine that prepares the Seen-By and Path lines on
        outgoing in-transit EchoMail to make them immune to people using
        out-of-spec Net/Node numbers in their Seen-By and Path lines
7.05    Identified and cured a problem in the Modem Off-Hook routines that
        could cause VFIDO to hang when the Modem Off-Hook setting was
        Do Nothing
7.05    Changed the Packet Management to only delete stray .LST .IMM and .DIR
        files that have been created by VFIDO, those with all-numeric File
        Names
7.05    Dialing routines now monitor the Continuous Mail flag in the
        Node List and only let you dial a non-CM system during Zone Mail
        Hour unless you specifically force VFIDO to make the call manually
