- *
- * $Log: bbs.h,v $
- * Revision 1.6 2001/02/03 16:07:33 mdw

- * Minor changes for key fetching. Typesetting fixes.
- *
- * Revision 1.3 2000/02/12 18:21:02 mdw
- * Overhaul of key management (again).
- *
- * Revision 1.2 1999/12/22 15:52:08 mdw
- * Rename `bbs_params' to `bbs_param' for consistency.
