    Log Message:
    Use buffered file I/O when writing drop files and overhaul PCBOARD.SYS

    ... and USERS.SYS file creation using new C++ type definitions in pcbdefs.hpp.

    This mostly fixes issue #366.

    Log Message:
    Use PRIu64 for (newly) 64-bit user fields (credits, up/download bytes)

    Fixes recently-introduced crash when generating text drop files (e.g. XTRN.DAT, SFDOORS.DAT, DOOR.SYS, CHAIN.TXT) on Win32 (only) where a 'long int' is still just 32-bit.

    Log Message:
    CHAIN.TXT files need CRLF terminated lines

    This was a regression (to just LF-terminated lines), an accidental change (from "text" to "binary" file-open) in commit 07580ea7b1b6e.

    Log Message:
    Limit door.sys numeric values to 32767

    The DoorFrame door library will about with "Overflow Error" if it reads a door.sys file with lines 16 (calls), 42 (minute credits), or 52 (posted messages) with a value > 32767, the maximum positive value of a signed 16-bit integer. So cap these values in the door.sys file at that maximum. This does potentially break/limit doors that give minutes using the door.sys drop file, so use that "modify user data" option in SCFG with care.

    Electrosys initially reported this problem with the Lemonade! door game which was barfing on a line 42 value of 449632.

    Add line 8 (user's real name) to DOORFILE.SR (Solar Realms' drop file)

    Apparently this line was added at some point, not sure if it's actually used
    in any doors, but here it is anyway.

    Populate line 36 (user alias) of door.sys with the current user's handle

    Previously, we just always made this a blank line.

    Don't require USE_DOSEMU for DOS-compatible drive mappings in xtrn.dat

    We no longer use/require the USE_DOSEMU definition anywhere else, so
    this was just a miss when the DOSEMU patch was perm-enabled.

    Log Message:
    Don't close logfile_fp before running JavaScript externals

    This would've prevented some JS log functions from writing to the node.log file (which gets concatented onto the daily "system" log files).

    This just came up via code review while looking into Keyop's reported error: term Node 2 !ERROR 9 (Bad file descriptor) in main.cpp line 4606 (node_thread)
    truncating "logfile" access=0

    This is likely unrelated since the "logfile" is immediately re-opened after executing the external program/script.
