===============================================================================
[.gopherd]gopherdconf.c	28-Jan-1996	Modified to allow spaces inside the
					Console: keyword specifications, instead
					of just + to separate keywords.
[.doc]vms_server.doc			Documented the Console: specification.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[.gopherd]gopherd.c	24-Jan-1996     After requests from PSULIAS operations
[.gopherd]globals.h                     staff, modified the $SNDOPR messages
[.gopherd]gopherdconf.h                 generated on server aborts (primarily
[.gopherd]gopherdconf.c                 from INETD server) so the console(s) to
[.gopherd]index.c                       which the messages are directed are site
					configurable.  This way the default of
					Central+Network can be reconfigured to
					consoles which are less sensitive (on
					a really bad day 1/2 carton of paper was
					gone thru on a hardcopy console).  The
					default will still be Central+Network
					but, for example, we'll be redirecting
					here @psulias.psu.edu to only Oper1 or
					Oper10 or Oper12, which is not directed
					to any hardcopy terminals.  All these
					messages still go in the OPERATOR.LOG
					file, however.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[.gopherd]gopherd.c	29-Nov-1995	Got a few "%SYSTEM-F-ASTFLT, AST fault"
					errors in the log which might have been
					attributable to leftover read timeout
					handlers which weren't cleared up on
					exits from prior calls to do_command()
					[detached server only].  Made sure the
					OpenVMS server turns off alarm() and
					signal() before returning from this
					function.  Also added signal() and
					setjmp() calls in printfile() since
					this routine seems to be trying to
					handle write timeouts but never was
					activating the timer alarms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[.gopherd]gopherd.c	28-Nov-1995	Fixed code which caused ACCVIO when
					system load was too high.
[.gopherd]serverutil.c	28-Nov-1995	Fixed %ld formatting token to use %f
					instead of %d when displaying a floating
					point system load.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[.gopherd]ftp.c         24-Nov-1995     Added code to handle Murkworks Netware
                                        FTP servers (which may be Unix or Novell
					style in their output).  Fix forces the
					gateway to query the server with an
					SYST command, and draw its conclusions
					from there.

[.gopherd]serverutil.c	24-Nov-1995	Tweaked the security violation character
					scan and logging in Gpopen().

[.gopherd]command.*	24-Nov-1995	Use err_ret() and a new CMDobj field,
					error, instead of err_quit(), when a
					"getcommand:readline error" occurs.

[.gopherd]gopherd.c	24-Nov-1995	Added to GDpostprocVMS() a local host
					filter to limit extensive postprocessing
					on resources served by other servers
					(also should prevent ACCVIOs when a .LINKS
					file is corrupted, resulting in a null
					Host= entry ;-)

					Added override of pname (argv[0] from
					command line) to value of logical named
					GOPHERD_IMG_NAME, if it exists.  Thus
					a site can point explicitly to its 
					gopherd image, and Gopherd.EXE will
					know it in the way the site has pointed
					to it, rather than defaulting to a non-
					GOPHER_ROOT-style device name and a
					different path name.  Makes it easier to
					offer out the executable for download
					through the 7$version?X response.
					
					"Client went away" in printfile() fixed
					to not cause the server to exit.

					Make use of [.gopherd]command.* changes
					to detect new CMDisErrored(CMDObj *)
					state after CMDfromNet() call and act
					appropriately.

<all files>		22-Nov-1995	Initial Beta Test installation
					@psulias.psu.edu; formerly in Alpha
					Test @lcsdev.lcs.psu.edu:170 for 6
					weeks.  Note this server is as yet just
					a proving ground for the refit of Unix/
					VMS combined source code.
