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
=============

7.06    Added a new VFIDO /E option to let you decide, for each Network Id,
        whether VFIDO should use Real Names or Handles when sending NetMails
7.06    Modified the Polling routines to introduce a new option, Cheap,
        meaning call every time there is mail waiting to send during cheap
        rate hours (7pm to 7am) or any time at weekends
7.06    Modified the technique used to Poll Daily to stop VFIDO trying to
        make the once a day call for hours on end
7.06    Changed the routine for analysing REPLY: kludge lines to detect and
        ignore lines without an Address before the Hex Number in the REPLY,
        which are of course out of spec but have started to appear anyway
        from other faulty software :-)
7.06    Reduced the number of entries VFIDO makes in the NETCALLS.LST to
        the first address presented and any aliases that appear in your
        dialing list
7.06    Added a new NONE (i.e. do not compress) option for Outgoing EchoMail
        archiving to let you send your EchoMail in straight .PKT format
7.06    Cured a problem in acting as a Hub for Tick Files when the Seenby
        list of the Tick files exceeded several Kb in size
