    src/sbbs3 xtrn.cpp 1.259 1.260
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv8024

    Modified Files:
    xtrn.cpp
    Log Message:
    Added 2 new environment variables dynamically-defined when launching DOS programs: PCBDRIVE (the drive letter of the current node directory) and PCBDIR (the path to the current node directory, without the drive letter).

    These emulate the same variables crated by PCBoard.

    The reason these are being added is that Sunrise Door Software's 16-bit doors contain special support for these environment vars when used in their .CFG files
    (e.g. %PCBDIR%DOOR.SYS) and this allows easy multi-node configuration with a single .CFG file. The SBBSNODE environment varialbe would have worked perfectly fine for this purpose, but apparently Sunrise Doors (or the DoorFrame development kit they utilized) has hard-coded these PCBoard (and Wildcat!) environment variable names, so SBBSNODE wont' work for this purpose.

    For Synchronet-Win32, you will need the DOSXTRN.EXE revision 25 or later
    or you may experience NTVDM crashes when running external DOS programs.

    Log Message:
    Add support for %^ command-line specifer which expands to the system architecture (e.g. "i686" for Win32 builds, "x64" for Linux-x86_64 builds).
    Currently, there underlying XPDEV macro definition does not differentiate between arm32 and arm64, but it should. Next...

    One can't have too many semicolons.

    Log Message:
    Remove lprintf() call from child process of fork() call on *nix

    the info-level debug message "Detaching external process"... as this appears
    to be the cause of background events hanging sometimes, on Linux (at least).

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/xtrn.cpp
    Log Message:
    Add node interrupt flag checking to *nix external() execution of stdio progs

    and abort the execution of the program when the node is interrupted. This should allow more cases were the node interrupt flag can be used to gracefully disconnect a user running a DOS or native (stdio) program on *nix.

    We have this functionality already in the Windows version of external()
