(*) New features/Modifications (*)
     
o    Micro-Emacs editing improved.  When using emacs you will no 
     longer have to use the normal editor to save the message.  
     The BBS will take you directly to emacs.  After you have 
     saved the message with emacs, you will be given the options 
     to LIST, EDIT, SAVE or ABORT.  This method was suggested by 
     several people.
o    With this revision the CLEANUP.TOS file has been released.
     The CLEANUP program has many options, and will take the 
     burden off of many tasks.  Please refer to the CLEANUP.DOC 
     file for further information.
o    Example SP? files are now included with the BBS package.  You
     may use the files to give your BBS a "personal" touch.  Just 
     extract the archive to your modules folder.  (Greg you can 
     explain this better)
o    You can now have a "Status" line on the screen while 
     users are playing online games.  The status line displays the 
     users name, start time of the game, and the filename of the 
     game.  To use this feature look in the MENU.DOC file under 
     the "Quick Load" section.     
o    View/Print Log file was modified.  When you select this 
     option you will receive a list of LOG files to display or 
     print.  The following are in the list: TRANS.LOG, 
     DOWNLOAD.LOG, UPLOAD.LOG, CLEANUP.LOG, and SYSOP.LOG.  The 
     SYSOP.LOG is not yet used in this version, see below.
     
(*) Soon to come (*)
     
o    The "TRANTEST.PRG" file will be available mid-month.  This
     program will help the beginning Transcendence sysop by 
     warning him/her of common errors they might have made during 
     the initial configuration.
o    FoReM Mailer compatibility is being tossed around.  A 
     final decision will be made next month.
o    Fido compatibility will be in the next revision.
o    A "Sysops" log will be in the next revision.  This log 
     will be used to add your own personal items.  For example you 
     will be able to log certain messages (And Email) to it, 
     capture CHAT sessions, etc.
