    The three failing jobs appear to be NetBSD CI timeouts, not failures related to this change. The failed jobs are netbsd-amd64 \[sftp\], \[hash\], and \[gitinfo\], each timing out after 1 hour.

    These comments are all wrong:
    - Removing credit from the original author
    - Including your BBS name?
    - Stating it's Windows specific (why would it be?)
    - Including absolute paths

    This is basically just a total rewrite - I suggest you zip it up and upload it to Vertrauen if you want to share it with other Synchronet sysops. I don't think it's appropriate for the git repo.

    Good catch. I restored the original author credit and removed the BBS-specific name, Windows-specific wording, and absolute paths from the file headers.

    Understood. I’ll close the merge request and package it as a third-party Synchronet mod for sharing on Vertrauen instead. Thanks for reviewing it.
