+ * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
+ the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
+ modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
+ leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
+ internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
+ unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
+ mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
+ leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
+ atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
+ ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
+ "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
+ interesting than a duplication of the default.
+
+ * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
+ didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
+ options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
+ I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
+ still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
+
+ * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
+ POP is enabled.

* Applied, after some finessing,
"19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
+ I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
+ FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
+ acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.

* Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.

- * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. It passed an
- octal constant to atoi(), which interpreted it as decimal,
- resulting in directories with no user read or execute permissions,
- making nested directory creation fail. Also, when creating a
- nested directory, correct permissions were only set on the inner one.
+ * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
+ constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
+ directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
+ nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
+ _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
+ in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
* A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
