This mod should stop the entry of messages to "hyper space"
I noticed on my system that some users were able to send a message
to a user without a name... this should stop the problem.



The second mod involves the TEXT SEARCH in the message section....
after observing the amount of time it took to search for TEXT
in the messge base I found the problem to be in the Thread routines
I added.... The Changes I made will Bypass the THREAD routines
and increase the searches by about 150%. This will also decrease the
the amount of access to the HARD DRIVE since the Thread files are not
accessed for each message...

All Changes are dated Pe 01/16/89..... remaining code is the same and
included for reference only
