The following are things on the author's 'to-do' list that
are being considered for this or a future release of TNOS. These
may eventually
be done, but not necessarily by the next release.
- Complete the spec and coding of the non-IP HTTP PBBS interface
- Consider adding to the browser support for the 'select'
and 'textarea' tags
- Consider adding to the browser better rendering of tables within
tables
- Export a complete set of CGI environment variables when 'exec cmd'
used
Currently you can execute a program and pass in explicit parameters (which
CAN be dynamically assigned using server-side includes), but it is NOT
a CGI-compatible interface. I will consider adding this at a later time.
- Add capability to allow use of OS commands
This includes finishing the incomplete 'pipe' command in
the Unix release.
Due to the obvious restrictions of MS-DOS (memory, etc.), this WILL
be considered for Unix version only.
- Consider adding better support for PBBS<->Internet mail
address translation
The 'translate' file and improved handling of aliases is a START, but more
work needs to be done here. Maybe a 'translate.out' file...
- Consider adding code to allow a TIP socket type, for use with
LL Modems
- Tweek the WPages code a bit
Need to improve the code that insures
that the wpagebbs entries are correct, of the proper length, and actually
look like hier addresses. Also, make the expiring of WPages files less
fragile if the file has become corrupted.
- Check into duplicate entries in the WP files
While not harmful, the WPages routines SHOULD be overwriting existing
entries, NOT creating new ones.
- Consider adding intelligence to convers links
The idea being that if there are no incoming links, and no local users,
that the remote outgoing link would be brought down until this changed.
- Consider moving MSDOS version to curses for screen I/O
