    From rswindell@VERT to CVS commit on Sunday, April 05, 2020 18:49:34
    src/sbbs3 putmsg.cpp 1.58 1.59
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv19396

    Modified Files:
    putmsg.cpp
    Log Message:
    The hack for Nelgin created back in rev 1.35 (Aug-15-2018) was:
    - incomplete, it didn't account for the CLEAR @-code which is only handled here - caused side-effects in that any Baja PRINT function call with a single line
    that contained any ^A or @-codes would reset the console abort indication
    flag (SS_ABORT).
    Observed: hitting Ctrl-C at while executing the yesnobar.bin or noyesbar.bin
    would leave "Yes Yes No" on the console, for example.
    Solution: use the tos (top-of-screen) state before/after the call to ctrl_a()
    or show_atcode() to determine if the reset-abort hack should be applied.

    After displaying a native PETSCII (.seq) file, reset the character set to Upper/Lower for compatibility with the rest of the BBS (some PETSCII Art files change the character set to Upper/Graphics).

    Don't pass-through ANSI Device Attributes (DA) requests

    putmsg(), used to display messages and display/menu files, will no longer pass-through the ANSI sequence ESC[c (found in some corrupted ANSI posts to fsxNet->FSX_BOT echo) to the client terminal since this will stimulate a (unwanted) response from the client.

    I do wonder if the outchar_esc value check should be == here instead of >=, but I'm not familiar with the string and SOS states. I wonder if any display files sent from the BBS would ever include those sequences.

    Sure. There are likely more sequences we might want to filter out of ANSI-encoded messages (or whitelist only the ones we *do* want to pass-through), but this'll work for now.

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/putmsg.cpp
    Log Message:
    Correctly center lines of text that contain @-codes, after @center@

    @-codes weren't expanded before the text length calculation, so the centering logic (offset in the user's terminal screen) would usually be incorrect as pointed out by Nelgin in #synchronet when we were discussing the |C @-code modifier (which is to center an @-code value in a field, not the screen).

    This issue was a known limitation of the fix to issue #418 (commit 8987150bd) but now that we have the expand_atcodes() function (hooray!), this is an
    easily solvable problem.

    Note: we're now calling center() withOUT the 'msg' parameter set to true,
    which means the @center@ code goes back to the previous (to issue #418 fix) behavior of just using bputs() for the centered text (we don't need the recursive call to pustmsg() to support @-codes any longer). This was the only reason that center() grew the optional 'msg' parameter so we likely can remove that option/feature at some date.

    Clean-up the hex and decimal value parsing of "extra attribute codes"

    Eliminate the unnecessary calls to snprintf() and atoi()/ahtoul() since these are simple fixed-length parses. No change in behavior, just a minor optimization.
