+1. added HC and QRZ.com to possible QSL locations, if you want to pick up
+historical info (ie start again), run create_qsl.pl after update and restart
+the node (which you will need to do anyway).
+11Mar03=======================================================================
+1. Changed the name of show/qsl to show/dxqsl.
+2. Alter Commands_en.hlp to match new name and issue manual updates (g0vgs)
+10Mar03=======================================================================
+1. added show/qsl command. This command basically takes the normal output of
+sh/dx qsl and stores it in a database. In order to enable this command you 
+will require the Storable module to be loaded (you will already have done
+this with a bit of luck for the new DXUser interface). The suggested 
+procedure is (after the update) to run /spider/perl/create_qsl.pl (this may
+take a long time), then immediately it finishes, restart the node. The node 
+will then keep the database up to date automatically. If you are not 
+interested in historical data then you can leave this step out.
+2. added show/contest command from Tommy SM3OSM via Rene OZ1LQH.
+08Mar03=======================================================================
+1. Added chat, join, leave commands to allow general purpose conferencing
+on arbitrary subjects. [Translators: added e34,e35,join,leave]. There is
+currently no help. There is also sh/chat.
+28Feb03=======================================================================
+1. Charlie K1XX fixed the sh/iso, sh/reg and sh/node commands
+25Feb03=======================================================================
+1. backported switch processing for PC sentences
+24Feb03=======================================================================
+1. add the 'run' command and the 'privilege' command to allow sysops to 
+create scripts for people.
+2. fix show/user so that it doesn't moan about uninitialised variables
+23Feb03=======================================================================
+1. Added show/wm7d command (a US only callbook server) [by K1XX].
+2. Added a prototype show/db0sdx command (w.i.p).
+3. Added set/dxcq and set/dxitu zone commands [Translators: I have added
+dxcqu, dxcqs, dxitus and dxituu to Messages].
+4. Add new Commands to manuals (g0vgs)
+5. make sure that none of the above set/dx... commands are defaulted on

 22Feb03=======================================================================
 1. changed qrz.com address 
 2. added Charlie's [K1XX] new wpxloc.raw data stuff to get WA1, KC3 type 
 callsigns to work better.

-3. Merged in the new (faster) DXUser.pm.
+3. added in set/usstate command which prints any US state information 
+available on both the spotted (LHS of time) and spotter (RHS of time).
+[Translators: I have added usstates and usstateu to Messages].
+4. Merged in the new (faster) DXUser.pm.

 
 [NOTE] this version will require Storable to be installed. On the
 other hand the code may work without, in a compatible way. This bit hasn't 
 been very well tested (the 'no Storable' condition that is).

+[*** NOTE ***] make sure that you do an 'export_user' BEFORE restarting
+you node. (Yes I know this is like a shrinkwrap licence, but I can't
+help it).

 It will take several minutes for the node to restart when it does the 
 conversion from .v2 to .v3 user file. Please go and have a good strong cup
 of tea whilst this is happening.

+If it fails then you will need to edit your latest user_asc file on (or about)
+line 25 it says: $ref = decode($f[1]); you will need to change that to 
+$ref = asc_decode($f[1]); and then do: perl user_asc
+ 
+DO MAKE SURE THAT you include subdirectories in your CVS update

 1. moved the export of the users file to Wednesday night (GMT) to avoid 
 possible crashes and/or delays during a contest weekend.
