VERSION 4 - MARCH 10 2022
-------------------------

WARNING: DBUTIL CHANGE commands should be used with caution and only by
         experienced D'Bridge operators only. In every operation where an
         Echomail area is changed or deleted, the Echomail database file
         DBRIDGE.ADF is backed up as BACKUP.ADF incase you make a mistake.

Very minor, almost trivial stuff:

- Fix for a long-standing bug with "Unpack error" when only a Queue path
  is defined and not drive+path.

- Adds a new DBUTIL CHANGE parameter missing for a long time... the
  ability to mass-change Echomail *.MSG directory paths. This new one
  is called FIDOMSG. For example:

  C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE FIDOMSG C: FIDOMSG R:

  Will change every Echomail *.MSG area from C:\DB\MESSAGES\XXX to
  R:\DB\MESSAGES\XXX.

  You can also specify a "null" in the change-to condition field, if you
  wish to completely remove absolute drive references from your Echomail
  area database, ie:

  C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE FIDOMSG C: FIDOMSG

  Will change every Echomail *.MSG area from C:\DB\MESSAGES\XXX to
  just \DB\MESSAGES\XXXX.

  And of course, it doesn't just have to be for drive-changing... it can
  be for matching other stuff too:

  C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE FIDOMSG F: ALERTFLAG F

  Will change any Echomail *.MSG directory matching drive F to have
  the alert flag F.

  You could also delete areas on matching criteria...

  C:\DB> DBUTIL DELETE FIDOMSG R:

  Will nuke any Echomail *.MSG area matching drive R.

- The addition of this new CHANGE parameters should eliminate the often
  convoluted job with text-editors when you need to make mass-changes to
  a very large D'Bridge configuration (a config with thousands of areas)

- Very minor code improvements.
