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
