    From rswindell@1:103/705 to CVS commit on Sat Mar 28 16:45:04 2020
    src/sbbs3 xtrn_sec.cpp 1.87 1.88
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv30081

    Modified Files:
    xtrn_sec.cpp
    Log Message:
    Stop searching-for and deleting INTRSBBS.DAT before running any external.
    This is an artifact from SBBS v2 for DOS:
    The file would contain the address of a shadow of the modem status register (written by execdos.exe) for dropped-carrier detection in xsdk doors (or the "dcdwatch" utility) while the BBS was "shrunk" out of memory to execute the external program with maximal available memory.

    Log Message:
    Delete the old hard-coded External Program Section (xtrn_sec) implementation. The system must use an external program module (e.g. xtrn_sec.js) now or this function will just display/log an error and exit.

    Use term_supports() rather than useron.misc for drop file terminal capsAlways use the return value of term_supports(), which correctly supports pre-logon and auto-terminal-capability-detection, rather than useron.misc for all door drop file generation.This should resolve the issue recently discussed in #synchronet with regards to a user getting non-ANSI output from door games even when using an ANSI-capable terminal.

    Fix EXITINFO.BBS generation for 64-bit time_t and moreSo I was working on re-writing some of this door file generation code and noticed that the EXITINFO.BBS files generated by SBBS:1. had a lot of garbage data filling unused string characters (no "harm", but potentially leaking information)2. had the wrong total file length due to 64-bit logontime (time_t)3. had the wrong total file length due to writing 19 GosubData elements (instead of 20)The first and last issues appear to be some of those "forever" (20+ year old) bugs.So I'm guessing no regularly used door games actually use these portions of the EXITINFO.BBS, so most likely: no harm, no foul. But still, best to fix this before I commit the rewrite.

    Limit door.sys numeric values to 32767The DoorFrame door library will about with "Overflow Error" if it reads a door.sys file with lines 16 (calls), 42 (minute credits), or 52 (posted messages) with a value > 32767, the maximum positive value of a signed 16-bit integer. So cap these values in the door.sys file at that maximum. This does potentially break/limit doors that give minutes using the door.sys drop file, so use that "modify user data" option in SCFG with care.Electrosys initially reported this problem with the Lemonade! door game which was barfing on a line 42 value of 449632.

    unnecessary prompting of the user:
    This game is much more enjoyable with ANSI graphics enabled.
    Do you want ANSI Graphics? (Y/n)

    This could possibly be done in external() instead, but this sufficient for
    now. I wouldn't want a menu that EXEC's something (via @-code) to lose all its hot-spots as a result.
