    From Rob Swindell (on Windows 11)@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/master on Monday, April 07, 2025 21:32:28
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/fccf1a5718fdcb9864bcbccf
    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/atcodes.cpp
    Log Message:
    Better parsing of invalid @-codes

    @-codes never start with a number (decimal digit)
    @-codes never contain any whitespace (including tabs, CR and LF).

    These 2 issues caused the stock batch file transfer menu for RIP terminals
    to display all messed-up.

    This RIP menu (text/menu/batchxfr.rip) contains @s and they triggered some stripping of text and expanding to a text.dat string (!).

    Allow C escape sequences in EXEC: @-code argument, to allow param passing

    e.g. separate module name from command-line params with \x20 and separate params from eachother with \x20.

    Renamed DAYBYTES to USEDCDT (amount of free credits used today)

    DAYBYTES is now an alias for BTODAY, since that more accurately reflects what PCB and WC used this code for, though WC4 Sysop Guide says it's in "K", we'll ignore that inconsistency (Wildcat! docs are wrong maybe?).

    Log Message:
    Transfer stats @-codes using byte total estimates (e.g. "1.2M")

    BTODAY now expands to a byte estimate (DAYBYTES is still the exact byte count)

    New codes: UPB and DLB for total-uploaded-bytes and total-downloaded-bytes There are already existed other codes for kibibytes or exact bytes, but there were none for byte estimates that shorten larger numbers nicely.

    Here's an example of the various transfer stats related @-codes now:

    DTODAY: '1'
    BTODAY: '2.8K'
    KTODAY: '2'
    DAYBYTES: '2827'
    DLFILES: '615'
    DLB: '2.2G'
    DLBYTES: '2406384443'
    DOWNK: '2349984'
    UPFILES: '247'
    UPB: '13.6G'
    UPBYTES: '14602185912'
    UPK: '14259947'

    Similar to UPAUSE @-code, but this takes into account the Ctrl-O hot key and sys_status methods of forcing screen pause on or off.

    atcodes: suppress INTEGER_OVERFLOW for CDTLEFT credit cast (CID 640970)

    The cast of user_available_credits() (uint64_t) to int64_t overflows
    only if credits exceed INT64_MAX (~9.2 quintillion). Not a real
    concern; SUPPRESS with explanation rather than a runtime clamp.

    Log Message:
    Add PCBoard @-code aliases for existing codes (#940)

    Several PCBoard display @-codes already had Synchronet equivalents under different names. Add them as aliases so PCBoard-style files/messages work without modification:

    @CARRIER@ -> @CONN@
    @PROLTR@ -> @PROT@
    @PRODESC@ -> @PROTNAME@ / @PROTOCOL@
    @CONFNAME@ -> @CONF@
    @CURMSGNUM@-> @MSG_NUM@

    @QON@/@QOFF@ were already implemented in putmsg.cpp. The remaining missing PCBoard codes (@FILERATIO@, @HIGHMSGNUM@, @LOWMSGNUM@, @LMR@, @FIRSTU@) would be new value-codes, not aliases, and are left for a follow-up.

    Add Wildcat! @-code aliases for existing codes (#941)

    Wildcat! display macros that already had Synchronet equivalents under a different name, added as aliases so Wildcat!-style files/messages work unmodified:

    @ACCBAL@ -> @CREDITS@
    @USERID@ -> @USERNUM@
    @CALLID@ -> @CID@
    @CONNECT@ -> @CONN@
    @ID@ -> @QWKID@
    @ENTER@ -> @PAUSE@ (approximate: Wildcat! waits for Enter, ours is hit-any-key)

    Remaining missing Wildcat! codes (@CONFOP@, @INCHAT@, @MAXRATIO@, @NETBAL@) have
    no Synchronet equivalent; @FAX@, @MODEM@, @YNDEF@, @ELSE@/@ENDIF@/@IFSEC@, @NOPREV@ are N/A to Synchronet's model (IFSEC-style conditionals are handled by @SHOW:@).
