/*
* v1.0.0 - December 6, 1992.
* Initial release.
*
* v1.0.1 - December 8, 1992.
* Added default value for NCARGS in glob.c for systems that don't define it.
* Fixed pdir bug which was caused by me mistakenly adding the page-a-
* compressed-file feature to ls instead of page. Fixed bug in documentation,
* which had the same error! Added spec for Ultrix in sys.h. Fixed error
* in sys.h that recommended -Dconst instead of -Dconst="". Added GETPASS
* compile flag to use getpass() instead of getpass2(), which make compiling
* easier if the compiler choked in cmds.c. Added GETCWDSIZET for systems
* whose getcwd() takes a size_t instead of an int.
*
* v1.0.2 - Jan 17, 1993.
* Using the cpp symbol CONST instead of const to tell
* the compiler not to use the 'const' directive. Checking for __sgi as
* well as sgi in sys.h. Added #ifndef __GNUC__ block to make SunOS users
* use gcc. You can avoid trying to include <unistd.h> by defining
* NO_UNISTDH. Added DG/UX entry in sys.h. Also added still another cpp
* symbol, BAD_INETADDR, which is used if inet_addr returns a structure
* instead of a u_long (this is only for DG/UX so far). Changed long to
* int in wait(). Added default value for NCARGS in glob.c. Added cpp
* symbol NO_STDLIBH for systems without <stdlib.h>. Fixed 'quote.'
* Fixed 'size.' Set all's string variable are printed in double quotes.
* Ansi-escapes is init'd to 1 if TERM==xterm. Fixed 'type tenex.' Set
* verbose makes sure verbose is within bounds and prints messages now.
* Better getpass2. Tries .ncftprc before .netrc. @N adds a \n to prompt.
* ls() is more flexible. Macdef and $ print current macros if no arg
* is given. getpass2 is now Getpass, and accompanying this are
* more cpp symbols SGTTYB and TERMIOS. Better SCO support. No longer using
* gets(), instead using own Gets() which is safer. Better termcap support,
* or actually curses support, to get ansi-escape sequences. Using -FC
* instead of -CF for ls flags, do avoid a rare conflict. Progress meters
* work better. Phil Dietz added a cool bar graph one, and I added another
* similar to the default percentage meter that shows the # KB transferred,
* which will work on systems not supporting SIZE. Fixed floating point
* exception bug in put/mput. Fixed implicit_cd to work with wuarchive-ish
* cd messages. Added NeXT and DYNIX blocks in sys.h.
* Fixed bug in _cd, that was trying to use wildcards when it
* shouldn't. Fixed bug in macdef. Fixed small bug in getreply. Turned
* off echoing during the progress-meter. Added syslogging capability.
*
* v1.5.0 - August 22, 1993
* Fixed error in CONST block in ftpdefs.h. Fixed error in sys.h so that when
* you compile with -DGETPASS it uses getpass. 'ls' bug with wildcards
* fixed. 'ls' enhanced to take multiple remote paths. Added new cpp symbol
* STRICT_PROTOS so I don't have to worry about the correct declarations of
* int returning functions. Moved termcap_init() up. Changed value of
* tcap_plain to "me" from "se." Defining TERMIOS by default for SunOS.
* Edited perror to not print ioctl errors (for SunOS only). Making sure
* we use ioctl only on tty files. Using <arpa/ftp.h> for SCO to get
* MAXPATHLEN instead of <sys/arpa.h>. 386BSD and Pyramid OSx entries added
* to sys.h. Fixed subtle error in FGets macro. Using private _Strn
* string routines, with macros to them instead of the strn routines.
* Added support for GNU Readline (not included). Added BROKEN_MEMCPY
* CPP symbol for other systems with same bug as that of SCO (see ftp.c).
* Changed mail detection code a bit, hopefully ending the false alarms
* that some systems were having. New CPP symbol, dFTP_PORT, lets you define
* the default ftp port if your OS (i.e. ISC unix) is wrong. Fixed bugs
* in 'rstatus' and 'syst;' apparently no one noticed... Phased out
* mls and mdir since ls does it all now. Added dPROGRESS to defaults.h to
* set the default progress indicator. Colon-mode wasn't quiet; fixed.
* Some new prompt @flags added. @flags that may result in an empty string
* are set so that when they do print something, they tack on a trailing
* space. May have fixed bug that caused 'page' to drop connection when
* you quit your pager. NcFTP tries to prevent itself from becoming a
* mindless zombie process. Fixed bug in 'rename.' Added another progress
* indicator that doesn't use any backspaces. Firewall support added by
* Dave Wolfe (dwolfe@pffft.sps.mot.com). Saving the entire servent struct,
* not just a ptr to it. Support the DOTDIR env variable. Fetched files'
* modification times now set to that on the server. Added RO-Var "netrc."
* Munged Makefile to support 'install' and 'uninstall,' and passing the
* installation parameters as a -D flag. Awesome new recent site log!
* Can type 'open' by itself to print out the sites in our netrc/recent
* buffers. Added show command. Drastic changes in source code; cmds.c
* made smaller by spawning set.c and util.c; ftpdefs.h eliminated. Improved
* on-line help. Revamped the command table, by eliminating obselete fields
* and adding a usage field to print a cmd's usage message. Removed all the
* useless settings of the 'code' variable. Added tips.c. Better support
* for ~s and environment vars in pathnames. Ascii transfers can get whole
* lines at a time instead of just chars at a time, so ascii transfers may
* be a bit faster. Old FTP commands are acknowledged at least. Some
* additions for Apollo in sys.h. Code in ftp.c cleaned up a bit, most
* notably the obnoxiously long recvrequest() function has been broken up
* into quite a few subroutines; it's still too long for my taste, though.
* Incorporated some stuff by Tom Dickey. Enhanced Perror() function to
* print more stuff if DB_ERRS is defined. Added 'ftpcat' mode. You can
* now turnoff the startup msg. GNU gzip support added. Added dbprintf()
* function to print the debug messages. Changed mind and decided to
* read the whole stream anyway on aborts for better stability; you can
* still try the aborting the stream if you define TryAbort. Added 'site'
* command. Fixed bug where verbose was left set to V_QUIET when you used
* colon-mode. Printing a warning when you try something like 'ls -t *.Z,'
* because wildcards don't work right with ls flags. Verbose and debug can
* be set directly from the cmd line (i.e. -D 3, not -DDD). Verbosity can
* be set using their ascii names, in addition to it's number, like 'set
* verbose = quiet.' Removed setpeer from cmds.c, and created new files,
* open.{c,h} dedicated to it; broke up setpeer into smaller sub-procs,
* and commented whole file (yay!). Added a new user var, anon-open,
* for those folks who don't want anon logins as the default.
*
* v1.5.1 - August 29, 1993
* Bugs fixed in termcap code, mput, and pwd. No longer adding blank
* lines to readline's history. Netrc site abbreviations were matched
* by strncmp() when it should have been strstr(). Bug fixed in
* open's site "menu." Revised tips a little to encourage .ncftprc instead
* of .netrc. TRY_ABOR documented in the README. Added stuff to the
* DYNIX entry. Hacks added for SCO322. Shortened bargraph prog meter
* by one char. Better compat with getline. Man page fixed by DWS again :)
*
* v1.5.2 - August 30, 1993.
* Back to using "me" instead of "se" to for termcap_normal. Fixed Netrc
* site abbrev problem in a different way (by getting the fullsite name
* before calling ruserpass2).
*
* v1.5.3 - September 2, 1993.
* Changed 'sig_t' to 'Sig_t.' Fixed another error in the termcap crap.
* Made having mktime() optional, at the expense of setting file dates
* to the same as the remote file. Fixed an error during 'account'
* validation. Added a warning about a bug I haven't fixed yet with
* non-UNIX systems hanging after listings. Fixed bug where colon-mode
* sitenames weren't expanded. Fixed a tip. Using <readline/readline.h>
* and <getline/getline.h> instead of <readline.h> etc. Fixed daylight
* savings time bug. LocalPath checks $HOME now.
*
* v1.5.4 - September 14, 1993.
* Fixed bug where non-unix sites were hanging after listings. Better
* SVR4 support. Fixed bug during an ascii transfer with debug mode
* on. Now checking the system type after a successful login, because
* some sites didn't allow commands to be executed until logged in; this
* prevents one (the only?) instance of the elusive short-file bug, because
* files were being fetched with ascii mode on. Now checking for half-
* bright mode if boldface isn't available. Numeric-only site abbreviations
* no longer accepted, so numbers will be treated only as indices from the
* open 'menu.' You can include <term.h> for the 'tgetstr' prototype,
* if you define TERMH. termcap_get() tweaked. Fixed bug where macros
* from the previous site were still present when you opened a new site.
* Fixed bug where colon-mode paths were truncated. Setting tenex mode
* automatically when you open a TOPS20 site. Looking for <getline.h>
* instead of <getline/getline.h>; have to leave <readline/readline.h>,
* because that header also includes stuff like <readline/keymaps.h>.
* Catman support added to Makefile. Fixed problem with terminfo, where
* $<2> etc., was not being removed from the terminal control strings.
*
* v1.5.5 - September 16, 1993.
* Fixed a bug where a key function wasn't returning it's results.
*
* v1.5.6 - September 20, 1993.
* Fixed bug in put, caused by "indent." Checking for '.gz' extension
* for gzip in addition to '.z'. A little better at preserving the
* transfer type. Changed a syslog() call to use than 6 arguments,
* and reporting the full remote path to the system log now. Have to
* explicitly define GZCAT in order to try paging gzip files now.
* Setting the current hostname correctly if using the gateway code.
* A lot of hacks added for SCO Xenix support: 1. Can add -DNO_STRSTR
* to use own strstr(); 2. Can add -DNO_STRFTIME to make % flags in the
* prompt optional; 3. Can add -DNO_RENAME if you do not have rename(),
* or rename() doesn't work; 4. Added PTRTYPE if void ptrs are a problem.
