VERSION 3.99 - SERVICE RELEASE 25 - MAY 1 2018
----------------------------------------------

This is a very minor update, but is important for those of you who are
using D'Bridge with somewhat-elaborate batch files, scripts or running the
mailer in modes such as UNPACK or using the *X variables.

When D'Bridge is ran on an operating system that you have set to execute
tasks in the background, and lets say a task needs to shutdown D'Bridge
for some reason, you should ALWAYS create the shutdown semaphore and then
check to see that it is in fact, shutdown, by checking that no DBLINE
semaphores exist.

For example, this DOS batch file will tell D'Bridge to shutdown, and not
proceed further until it has in fact, shutdown cleanly. When D'Bridge
shuts down, it will exit with Errorlevel 200 and also delete the DBLINE
semaphore. Note the use of the SLEEP command. SLEEP is just a command-line
utility to wait X amount of seconds.

CD \DB
ECHO > DBEXIT.200
:CHECKER
IF EXIST DBLINE.* SLEEP 3
IF EXIST DBLINE.* GOTO CHECKER

- A new dummy/semaphore file, DBRIDGE.AQD, if created, will always tell
D'Bridge to engage in QuickDial mode; overriding the timing-specific
settings of the current Mail event. When the Queue is either empty or
no other entries can be "called", the mailer returns to IDLE status.

- Creating a DBEXIT semaphore now correctly deletes the DBLINE semaphore.

- Using the FUNCTION GATEWAY in EMSI/WaZOO sessions and using the "*X"
parameter to exit is a bit more graceful now and deletes the DBLINE
semaphore.

- The *X parameter deletes the DBLINE semaphore.

- TECHSPEC.TXT has been updated.
