VERSION 4 - NOVEMBER 15 2019
----------------------------

- Moving on to version 4... for Roger.

- Tossing performance should be a bit faster now, due to less disk-writes
  and new cache code written from scratch that stores the most frequently-
  tossed Echomail areas in memory. On modern computers you may not notice
  the change, but on any legacy/old systems you should see an improvement,
  especially when running on a "real" MS-DOS computer.

- Two new semaphores: DBNOTOSS.X and DBNOECHO.X, with X being the line
  number, ie. DBNOTOSS.1 for line 1 (or for single-line usage). Each
  will tell D'Bridge not to activate tossing or Echomail scanning; basically
  disabling the mail-tosser until the semaphore is erased; assuming in
  some sort of batch file for your system.

  On most systems, you would use DBNOTOSS.1 or DBNOECHO.1 as the filenames.

  Note that pending Echomail forwarding/scanning and any Xmail "Compress"
  operations will finish first before the mail tosser is disabled by the
  semaphore.

- A reminder, that if the above is not quite what you want, the semaphore
  DBRIDGE.PTM (Processing/Tossing Mail) is created whenever D'Bridge is
  busy tossing mail. The semaphore is erased when finished. Your own batch
  files or scripts could check for this although you will want to use
  some sort of "sleep" command or timeout between checking, ie:

                 :AreWeTossingMail
                 if exist dbridge.ptm timeout 60
                 if exist dbridge.ptm goto AreWeTossingMail

  In this example, the batch file waits 60 seconds between checks (on
  most Windows computers)

- Rewrote some of the file I/O handler routines.

- Slight rewording in the Queue/View command.

- Slightly changed the command-line parameters to allow a specific line
  to be specified while starting the Terminal.

- Slight adjustments to memory and buffer allocation for MS-DOS computers.

- A minor fix when debugging processed mail packets.

- Slightly updated help screens.

- A fix for long messages in the internal editor in VGA mode.
